Charter Axopar in Capri: Models, Prices and Routes (2026)
Most Requested Axopar Models for Capri Charters
Axopar has revolutionized the day-boating scene in the Tyrrhenian Sea, offering a unique combination of a deep-V hull for stability and an open-air layout perfect for the Italian sunshine. For 2026, three specific models dominate the local charter market, catering to different group sizes and performance needs.
- Axopar 28 T-Top: Often referred to as the "commuter of the Mediterranean," this 8.75-meter vessel is ideal for couples or small groups of up to 6. It features a walk-around deck and a shaded seating area, making it perfect for quick transfers from Marina Grande to secluded coves.
- Axopar 37 Sun-Top (ST) & Cross Cabin (XC): The flagship choice for Capri. At 11.5 meters, the 37 series accommodates up to 10-12 guests for day trips. The Sun-Top version offers a massive retractable canvas roof, while the Cross Cabin provides an enclosed, air-conditioned saloon—perfect for those who want to escape the midday heat without losing the view.
- Axopar 45 Sun-Top: The newest and largest addition to the fleet. This 13.9-meter powerhouse features multiple social zones, a forward cabin with "gull-wing" doors, and enough stability to handle the afternoon "Grecale" winds with ease.

Top 1-Day Routes from Marina Grande
Starting your journey from the bustling Marina Grande, an Axopar’s speed allows you to see more in eight hours than a traditional wooden gozzo. A classic day route begins with a clockwise circumnavigation of the island, stopping at the Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto) early in the morning to beat the crowds.
From there, cruise past the Punta Carena Lighthouse toward the iconic Faraglioni Rocks. An Axopar 37 can easily anchor in the turquoise waters of Marina Piccola for a swim near the Scoglio delle Sirene. After lunch at a seaside restaurant like La Fontelina, use the boat’s performance to dash across to the Li Galli islands—a private archipelago steeped in myth—before returning to Capri as the sun sets behind Monte Solaro.
Multi-Day Itineraries: Exploring Beyond Capri
If you choose a weekly charter or a 3-day weekend, the Axopar becomes your gateway to the wider Gulf of Naples. Unlike heavier yachts, the Axopar's shallow draft allows you to get closer to the shore in areas like the Furore Fjord.
- Day 1: Capri to Positano. Navigate the coastline of the "Vertical City," dropping anchor at Arienzo Beach.
- Day 2: Amalfi and Nerano. Visit the Cathedral of Amalfi, then head to Baia di Ieranto, a protected marine area at the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula.
- Day 3: Ischia and Procida. Cross the bay to the volcanic island of Ischia. Explore the Castello Aragonese and the colorful harbor of Corricella in Procida, the 2022 Italian Capital of Culture.
Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in Capri
The primary hub for all luxury charters is Marina Grande. During the peak of 2026, berthing spots are highly coveted and should be reserved months in advance. The marina provides full services, including water, electricity, and proximity to the funicular leading to the Piazzetta.
For those seeking a quieter experience, the southern side of the island offers Marina Piccola. While it lacks the infrastructure of a commercial port, it serves as a spectacular buoy mooring location, protected from northern winds. When you charter an Axopar in Capri, your captain will handle all radio communications with the Capitaneria di Porto to ensure seamless docking and tender services to shore-side restaurants.
What is Included in Your Axopar Charter?
Understanding the "all-in" versus "plus expenses" structure is vital for a transparent experience. In Capri, most Axopar day charters are sold with a professional skipper included. For 2026, expect the following breakdown:
- Included: Professional English-speaking skipper, bottled water, soft drinks, towels, and basic snorkeling gear.
- Excluded (APA): Fuel is the primary variable. An Axopar 37 consumes approximately 70-100 liters per hour depending on speed. Other exclusions include 22% Italian VAT, port fees (if you choose to dock outside your home port), and food/alcoholic beverages.
- End Cleaning: Usually included for day charters, but may be a separate fee (€150-€250) for multi-day bookings where the cabins are utilized.
Best Time to Charter: Weather and Seasonality
The Capri charter season officially runs from May to October. However, for the best Axopar experience, June and September are the "sweet spots." During these months, the air temperature averages a pleasant 25-27°C, the sea is warm enough for swimming, and the crowds are significantly thinner than in August.
July and August offer the most vibrant social scene but come with the highest berthing fees and busiest coves. If you are interested in performance cruising, May offers the clearest visibility, though the water remains crisp. Regardless of the month, the Axopar’s hull design ensures a dry ride even if the "Scirocco" wind creates a moderate chop.
FAQ: Chartering an Axopar in Capri
Can I bareboat an Axopar 37 in Capri?
While some smaller models may be available for bareboat to highly experienced operators with an ICC or equivalent license, most Axopar 37 and 45 charters in Capri are skippered. This is due to the complex mooring regulations and high traffic in the local grottos.
How many people can fit on an Axopar for a day trip?
The Axopar 28 is licensed for up to 6 or 7 guests, while the Axopar 37 can comfortably accommodate 10 to 12 guests plus a skipper, depending on the specific safety certificate of the hull.
Is fuel included in the charter price?
Typically, fuel is not included. It is calculated at the end of the day based on the engine hours and current market prices at the Marina Grande fuel dock. A standard loop around Capri usually costs between €200 and €400 in fuel.
Are there child-friendly features on these boats?
Yes, the Axopar Sun-Top models are excellent for families. The high bulwarks (sides) provide a sense of security for children, and the cabin in the 37 and 45 models offers a cool, shaded space for toddlers to nap during the heat of the day.
