Why the Bali 4.4 is the Ultimate Choice for Capri
The waters surrounding Capri can be busy, especially during the peak months of July and August. The Bali 4.4 offers specific advantages for this geography. Unlike traditional catamarans, the Bali 4.4 features the "Bali Door"—a large tilting glass door that merges the saloon and the aft cockpit into a single level. This creates a massive social area that is perfect for entertaining while anchored off the Faraglioni rocks.
Furthermore, the shallow draft of just 1.20 meters allows you to get closer to the shoreline in shallow bays like Marina Piccola than many monohulls of a similar size. The solid foredeck provides a massive sunbathing area and a second cockpit, ensuring that even with a group of 12, everyone has a private space to relax without feeling crowded.
Estimated Costs for Chartering a Bali 4.4 in Capri
When renting a Bali 4.4 in Capri, pricing varies significantly based on the season and the level of service required. The 2026 rates reflect the high demand for this specific model in the Gulf of Naples.
| Season | Weekly Rate (Approx.) | Daily Rate (Approx.) |

Bareboat vs. Skippered vs. Crewed:
- Bareboat: You provide your own ICC or RYA Day Skipper license. You are responsible for the vessel and security deposit.
- Skippered: A professional local captain is hired (usually €200-€300 per day). This is recommended for navigating the tight moorings of Marina Grande.
- Crewed: Includes a skipper and a hostess/chef. This option usually involves an APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) of 20-30% to cover food, drinks, and fuel.
One-Day Routes from Marina Grande
If you are chartering a Bali 4.4 in Capri for a single day, your itinerary should focus on the island's perimeter to maximize your time on the water. Starting from Marina Grande, head west toward the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra). Arriving early is essential to avoid the queue of tourist rowboats.
Continue clockwise toward the Punta Carena Lighthouse, where the water is deep and crystal clear, perfect for a swim stop using the Bali's wide sugar scoops. After lunch on board, navigate through the "arch of love" at the Faraglioni and anchor at Marina Piccola for a view of the glamorous beach clubs like La Fontelina. The Bali 4.4’s flybridge offers the best vantage point for photos as you round the southern cliffs.
7-Day Itinerary: Capri and the Amalfi Coast
For a week-long rental, you can explore the full beauty of the Campania region. A Bali 4.4 is exceptionally stable for these coastal hops.
- Day 1: Check-in at Capri Marina Grande. Evening at the Piazzetta.
- Day 2: Capri to Ischia. Anchor near the Aragonese Castle.
- Day 3: Ischia to Procida. Visit the colorful Corricella harbor.
- Day 4: Crossing to Sorrento. Explore the lemon groves and steep cliffs.
- Day 5: Sorrento to Positano. The Bali 4.4’s stability is a blessing in the often-choppy Positano anchorage.
- Day 6: Positano to Amalfi and Nerano. Dine at Lo Scoglio (accessible by dinghy).
- Day 7: Return to Capri for final checkout.
Logistics: Marinas and Mooring Fees
Capri is home to one of the most expensive marinas in the world. Marina Grande is the primary port for docking. During the high season, a berth for a 45-foot catamaran can exceed €500-€800 per night, and booking months in advance is mandatory for 2026. Many guests prefer to stay at anchor in Marina Piccola or near the Blue Grotto (weather permitting) to enjoy the serenity of the sea and avoid high port fees.
What is Included in Your Charter?
When reviewing your contract for a Bali 4.4, ensure you understand the "mandatory extras." Typically, the base price includes the yacht rental and VAT. However, you will often see a "Transit Log" or "Starter Pack" (€300-€500) which covers end cleaning, bed linen, towels, and outboard engine for the dinghy. Fuel is almost always excluded and is calculated based on engine hours or by refilling the tank at the end of the charter. For more details on local regulations, visit our Capri boat rental guide.
Best Months and Sea Conditions
The sailing season in Capri runs from May to October. May and June offer long daylight hours and lush green landscapes, though the water can still be refreshing. September is widely considered the best month for chartering a Bali 4.4, as the crowds have thinned, the water is at its warmest, and the "Mestrale" winds are generally predictable and light.
