Charter Axopar in the Amalfi Coast: Models, Prices and Routes (2026)
The Most-Requested Axopar Models for the Amalfi Coast
Axopar’s unique hull design is perfectly suited for the Tyrrhenian Sea, offering a stable ride even when the afternoon "Mistral" breeze picks up. For 2026, the fleet available through our luxury boat rentals focuses on three primary configurations that balance deck space with performance.
- Axopar 28 T-Top / Sun-Top: The quintessential day boat. Measuring approximately 8.75 meters, it is ideal for groups of up to 7 guests plus a skipper. It features a walk-around layout and a functional aft cabin for storage or a quick nap.
- Axopar 37 Sun-Top: The "gold standard" for Amalfi Coast charters. At 11.20 meters, it comfortably accommodates 10-12 guests. Its large shade-providing roof is essential for the Italian summer, while the front cabin offers a private changing area and head.
- Axopar 45 XC Cross Cabin: The flagship choice for those prioritizing luxury and all-weather protection. With a length of nearly 14 meters, this model features Gullwing doors and multiple social zones, making it suitable for longer transfers between Naples and the Amalfi Coast.

Top 1-Day Charter Routes from Amalfi and Positano
The speed of an Axopar allows you to see more in eight hours than a traditional wooden gozzo could manage in two days. Most charters depart from Porto di Amalfi or the Marina Grande in Capri.
The "Li Galli" & Capri Circuit: Depart from Amalfi, cruising past the colorful houses of Praiano. Stop for a swim at the Li Galli islands—a private archipelago once owned by Rudolf Nureyev. Cross over to Capri to view the Faraglioni rocks, the White Grotto, and the Green Grotto. Finish with a late afternoon cruise back toward the sunset in Positano.
The Nerano & Hidden Bays Route: Head west toward the Punta Campanella Marine Reserve. This route focuses on secluded swimming spots like Baia delle Sirene and Crapolla Cove. Dock at Nerano for a world-class lunch of Spaghetti alla Nerano at Lo Scoglio before exploring the rugged coastline of the Sorrento Peninsula.
Multi-Day Itineraries: Exploring the Parthenopean Islands
For those booking a 3-7 day charter, an Axopar serves as an excellent "island hopper." While these boats are primarily day-oriented, their speed makes them perfect for guests staying in coastal villas who want a dedicated chase boat for the week.
- Day 1-2: The Amalfi Core. Explore Ravello (from the sea), Amalfi, and the Furore Fjord. Overnight in Positano.
- Day 3-4: The Glamour of Capri. Spend two days navigating the perimeter of Capri, with evening dockage at Marina Piccola to enjoy the island after the day-trippers depart.
- Day 5-7: Ischia and Procida. Use the Axopar’s 40+ knot capability to reach Ischia quickly. Visit the Aragonese Castle and the thermal waters of Sorgeto Bay. End the journey in the pastel-colored port of Corricella in Procida.
What is Included in an Axopar Charter?
When booking an Amalfi Coast yacht charter, it is vital to understand the "All-in" vs. "Plus Expenses" structure. Most daily Axopar rentals in Italy follow a standard inclusion list, though fuel is almost always extra due to the high-performance engines.
- Included: Professional skipper, VAT (22%), final cleaning, towels, snorkeling gear, and complimentary soft drinks/aperitivo.
- Excluded: Fuel (calculated based on liters consumed), port fees/berthing (ranging from €50 to €200 depending on the marina), and Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) for multi-day trips.
- Note on Fuel: An Axopar 37 typically consumes between 60-90 liters per hour depending on speed. Expect to spend approximately €300 - €600 on fuel for a standard day trip to Capri.
Marinas, Berthing, and Logistics
The Amalfi Coast has limited dockage, making logistics a key part of your 2026 planning. The main hubs for Axopar fleets are Marina di Stabia (near Pompeii), which serves as a great starting point for weekly charters, and Porto di Sorrento.
If you are staying in a villa in Positano, please note there is no formal marina; guests are typically transferred via a small tender (dinghy) from the beach to the Axopar anchored in the bay. In Amalfi town, the Coppola Marina Dock offers excellent service for day-charter arrivals. For those heading to Capri, booking a berth at Marina Grande months in advance is essential if you wish to step directly off the boat onto the island.
Best Months for an Amalfi Coast Boat Charter
The charter season officially runs from May through October. However, for the best experience on an Axopar, we recommend the following windows:
May and June: The water is crisp, but the flowers are in full bloom and the crowds are manageable. This is the best time for photography and finding quiet anchorages.
September: Ideally the best month. The sea temperature is at its warmest (around 25°C), the intense heat of August has faded, and the light is golden. Most Axopar availability for 2026 will be booked by January for this month.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bareboat an Axopar in the Amalfi Coast?
While some smaller Axopar 22 or 25 models may be available for bareboat (no skipper), most Axopar 28 and 37 rentals in this region require a professional skipper. The local waters are busy, and mooring regulations in the Marine Protected Areas are strictly enforced.
How many people can fit on an Axopar 37?
Legally, most Axopar 37 models are licensed for up to 12 people including the crew. For maximum comfort during a full-day charter, we recommend a group size of 8 to 10 guests.
Is the Axopar suitable for small children?
Yes, the high bulwarks (sides) and the secure walk-around layout make the Axopar one of the safest designs for families with children. The Sun-Top version provides ample shade to protect younger guests from the Mediterranean sun.
What happens if the weather is bad?
In the event of high winds or heavy swells that make navigation unsafe, charters are typically rescheduled. If rescheduling is not possible, most contracts provide a refund minus a small administrative fee, depending on the specific terms of the 2026 agreement.
