Looking for the best catamaran charter in Italy? We’ve rounded up the top 10 catamarans available right now—handpicked for their layouts, crews, toys, and overall experience. Whether you’re sailing the Amalfi Coast, Sicily, or Sardinia, these catamarans deliver the space, stability, and freedom that make catamaran charters in Italy one of the smartest ways to explore the sea.
10. SIGNATURE VISION
I was onboard SIGNATURE VISION in Sanremo. She’s a 2022-built Bali 5.4, and she’s for clients who want space, value, and an easy, family-friendly setup.
The reason I like the Bali 5.3 in this size range is simple: it handles guest flow better than most cats. The aft door opens the saloon completely to the cockpit, so people don’t pile into one area. The solid foredeck gives you another proper seating zone and is safer for kids than trampolines.
She works well for families and couples. Cabin layout is flexible: 5 doubles plus a twin depending on crew configuration. Standard charter runs with two crew, which keeps pricing very competitive for a newer boat. Adding a third crew member improves service noticeably, but costs a guest cabin.
The crew is a strong point. The captain is an ex-tanker, calm and methodical, and also a kitesurf instructor. The chef has personality and enjoys cooking for guests — meals are relaxed and social. The stewardess is experienced and delivers consistent service.
This is not a flashy yacht. It’s a well-priced, well-run Bali that books early every season because it makes sense.
If it fits your brief, don’t wait.

9. OMBRE BLU3
OMBRE BLU³ is a dive-ready sailing catamaran for small groups up to 6 guests. She’s one of the few catamarans in Italy that’s a registered PADI Dive Centre, meaning you can dive with onboard compressors, certification options, specialty courses, and real gear. This makes her stand out in Italy, especially for Sardinia, Sicily, and quieter cruising areas where underwater life is a big part of the experience.
She has 3 spacious double cabins with ensuite, finished for comfort rather than tight utilitarian space.
She’s genuinely enjoyable on deck too – a 41 m² teak aft cockpit with daybeds and a large dining table, plus a 21 m² flybridge with sun cushions and shaded seating. The saloon is open and bright with large windows, so communal spaces feel generous and comfortable.
There’s a broad array of water toys beyond diving – kayaks, paddleboards, paddle skis, wakeboard, fishing gear – and a 5 m Castoldi tender for easy shore runs.

8. REVE BLEU
I visited REVE BLEU at MYBA Sanremo 2025. She’s a Lagoon Catamarans 620, and she’s aimed at clients who want higher service standards than the usual catamaran experience in Italy.
What immediately sets her apart is the crew setup. 4 crew onboard, where most cats of this size run with 3. You feel that difference straight away—service is smoother, more present, less stretched.
For Italy, she works very well for Sardinia and Corsica, which are clearly among her strongest cruising grounds. Big flybridge, good shade, and an outdoor cinema up top for movies under the stars.
Cabins deserve a mention. They’re comfortable, well-finished, and I like that they went for color instead of the usual safe beige. It feels more yacht-like and less charter-generic.
She also charters Croatia and crosses seasons to the Caribbean, but from an Italy, perspective this is a solid option for guests who want a polished, well-crewed catamaran with a bit more refinement than the average.

7. LISA OF THE SEAS
LISA OF THE SEAS is on this list for one very clear reason: 5 proper double cabins.
That layout is rare, and it’s something we get asked for constantly – especially by 5 couples traveling together who want equal cabins with no compromises. No twins, no bunks, no hierarchy.
She’s a modern Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67, built in 2020, with generous outdoor spaces and a Jacuzzi. She works very well in Italy for Amalfi, the Aeolian Islands, and Sardinia, where the rhythm is anchoring, swimming, long lunches, and relaxed evenings onboard.
If cabin equality matters, this is one of the cleanest solutions available in Italy.

6. CARTOUCHE
I was onboard CARTOUCHE in Sanremo, Italy, earlier this year, and she truly stands out. She charters in the Mediterranean during the summer and the Caribbean in the winter, and has built a strong reputation with an impressive track record of happy clients.
At 95 feet, CARTOUCHE is one of the largest catamarans available for charter in Italy, offering exceptional space and comfort. What really makes her such a great value is the price point—chartering at around $70K per week, she delivers far more yacht than smaller options. That’s significantly more yacht than many 80ft Sunreefs chartering in a much higher bracket ($90K–$100K).
Although built in 2011, CARTOUCHE was fully refitted just 2 years ago, so she feels fresh and updated. Her flybridge is a highlight – spacious with a Jacuzzi in a setup you’d usually expect on a motor yacht. Up front, the foredeck trampolines include a swim ladder that lowers right into the water – super convenient and a standout detail. ‘
She’s also an excellent performer under sail, making her a fantastic choice for guests who want a true sailing experience, not just a floating villa.

5. JACK
JACK is for clients who care how a catamaran sails, not just how it looks at anchor.
She’s a 2023-built performance catamaran by McConaghy Boats, lighter and faster than most luxury catamarans in this size range. That difference is noticeable underway and is exactly why she’s on this Italy list.
She suits active couples or a small group who want to move properly between anchorages, especially in Sardinia and Corsica, where sailing conditions are ideal, and distances matter. She feels sharper, more responsive, and less “floating villa” than your usual charter catamaran.
The interior is modern and clean rather than plush-heavy. The 4 cabins work well for up to 8 guests, but this is not a party boat – it’s for guests who enjoy being at sea and want performance without giving up comfort.
If our clients say “we actually want to sail”, JACK is the answer.

4. MANTA
I went onboard MANTA in Sanremo 2025 with high expectations. She met them.
She’s a wide-beam power catamaran—12.22m beam—and it shows immediately. Big, open interior, galley front and center, very social. Glamorous but relaxed, not stiff.
What makes her stand out for Italy is speed. 17 knots is fast for a catamaran – you get the freedom of a motor yacht for the price of a catamaran. This means you can actually move around Costa Smeralda and La Maddalena instead of planning the week around short hops. Once anchored, she’s a great platform for swimming, toys, and spending the day outside.
Cabins are flexible with convertible twins, so she works for families or four couples. Flybridge is large and laid-back, with gym gear, a hammock, and a genuinely chilled vibe. The deckhand is also a personal trainer.
The chef is enthusiastic and intuitive – open galley, good interaction, food that feels natural rather than staged. Bathrooms are proper luxury with marble finishes.
Stairs are a bit awkward, and beds are high – worth knowing for older guests.
I wouldn’t hesitate to book MANTA.

3. VIVA LA VIDA
VIVA LA VIDA is on this list because she is a true sailing Sunreef 80 that is priced accessibly for her size.
That’s the point.
Most clients looking at an 80ft Sunreef get pushed either into power cats or into sailing boats that are priced out of reach. VIVA LA VIDA sits in the sweet spot: real sailing capability, real Sunreef volume, without crossing into ultra-high charter rates.
Why that matters in Italy: routes like Sardinia–Corsica or the Aeolians reward boats that can sail comfortably and quietly for longer legs, instead of motoring everywhere. Guests notice that – less noise, better deck time, better passages.
She suits charter guests who want a big, comfortable catamaran but don’t want to feel like they’re just motoring from anchorage to anchorage. This is the value sailing option in the large-luxury cat category.

2. ONE PLANET
ONE PLANET is a 100% electric catamaran, part of Sunreef Yachts’s Eco line — one of the most advanced catamaran platforms on the market.
The technology is impressive, but what actually matters to you as a guest is silence.
First-time charterers often don’t realise how much generator noise affects a week onboard. At night, at anchor, or early in the morning, that constant background hum is hard to ignore. On ONE PLANET, you get long periods with no generator running – just the sea, the breeze, and quiet. It changes the entire experience.
This makes a big difference in Italy, where anchorages are close, calm, and busy. Waking up in silence off Capri or in the Maddalena islands is genuinely special.
Beyond that, she’s simply a very luxurious Sunreef – spacious, modern, beautifully finished, and easy to live on.
ONE PLANET
1. DOUCE FRANCE
DOUCE FRANCE is for guests who need space and stability at a scale no other catamaran in Italy can offer.
At 42 meters, she’s in a different league. This is the boat you choose when you’re 12 guests, multi-generation, or a large group that wants to stay together without splitting across two yachts. Nothing else on this list comes close in terms of deck space, circulation, and room to breathe.
She’s a sailing catamaran, so when conditions allow, passages are quiet and elegant rather than engine-heavy. But the real value is comfort: wide decks, huge communal spaces, and the kind of stability that matters for kids, older guests, and long lunches at anchor.
Built by Alu Marine, DOUCE FRANCE is the default answer when the brief is: “We want the biggest, easiest, most comfortable catamaran in Italy.”
That’s why she’s number one.
