Charter questions

Are Italian yacht charters okay for people who get seasick?

Yes, Italian yacht charters can be very comfortable for people who get seasick, as long as the yacht and itinerary are chosen with that concern in mind.

We recommend a larger motor yacht, a stable catamaran, or a yacht with stabilizers, plus an itinerary with shorter passages and protected overnight stops. In Italy, the Amalfi Coast and Capri can work well for short, scenic cruising. Sardinia, Sicily, the Aeolian Islands, and longer open-water crossings need more careful yacht selection and captain-led planning.

Tell your broker early if anyone is nervous about motion. We can prioritize stabilizers, cabin comfort, route protection, and a captain who will adjust the day’s plan around the sea state. The goal is not to push through uncomfortable water; it is to build the charter around comfort from the start.
