Power Catamaran Charters in Italy

A power catamaran gives you the wide decks and shallow draft of a catamaran with engines that keep up with an Italian itinerary. Two hulls, a flat ride, and enough speed to still make each port on time.

The Italian power cat fleet is small but new, and it suits groups who want catamaran space without being the slowest boat on the Amalfi Coast.

What to Know About Power Catamaran Charters in Italy

• Space of a longer motor yacht: two hulls spread the living area instead of stacking it
• Fast enough for Italy: unlike a sailing cat, it holds a port-to-port schedule comfortably
• Shallow draft: anchor closer in around La Maddalena and the Aeolians than the motor yachts alongside you
• A small fleet: only a handful charter here, so when the dates and layout line up, take it

How Much Does a Power Catamaran Charter in Italy Cost?

Crewed power catamarans in Italy start at around €30,000 per week, sitting above sailing catamarans of the same length and below a motor yacht with comparable living space. Fuel burn is lower than a motor yacht, so the APA lands lower too. On top of the weekly charter fee, budget for:

• APA: 25-30% for fuel, food, drinks, and port fees
• Italian VAT: 22% on the charter fee
• Crew gratuity: 5-15%, based on service

Where to Go on a Power Catamaran Charter in Italy

The Amalfi Coast works because you can still make each port on time, while La Maddalena in Sardinia and the Aeolian Islands play to the shallow draft, letting you anchor closer in than the deeper boats around you.
