Why the Antares 11 is the Ultimate Choice for Capri
Capri’s coastline is defined by dramatic verticality and jagged rock formations. The Beneteau Antares 11 is uniquely suited for this geography for several reasons. Firstly, its shallow draft of just 0.71 meters allows the skipper to navigate closer to the shoreline and enter shallower coves like Cala Ventroso or the waters near the Faraglioni rocks, where deeper-keeled yachts might struggle.
The innovative "side-platform" on the starboard side is a game-changer for Capri. When anchored in the turquoise waters of Marina Piccola, this terrace folds down to create a private swim platform, effectively extending the cockpit and providing a seamless connection to the sea. Additionally, the large sunpads on the bow and the modular cockpit seating ensure that even with a group of 12, there is ample space for sunbathing under the Italian sun.

Capri Itineraries: From 1-Day Sprints to Weekly Voyages
Starting your journey from Marina Grande, the primary harbor of Capri, opens up a world of possibilities across the destinations of the Campania region.
The 1-Day Capri Circuit
Departing at 10:00 AM, head west toward the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) to beat the midday rush. Continue around the western tip of the island to see the Punta Carena Lighthouse. Anchor for lunch at Marina Piccola, enjoying the view of the Faraglioni. Spend the afternoon swimming at White Grotto (Grotta Bianca) before returning to port as the sun sets behind Monte Solaro.
The 3-7 Day Amalfi Coast & Ischia Loop
Chartering a Beneteau Antares 11 in Capri for a longer duration allows you to explore the neighboring islands.
- Day 1-2: Explore Capri's hidden caves and dine at La Fontelina.
- Day 3-4: Cross the Gulf to Positano and Amalfi. The Antares 11's speed makes this crossing in under an hour.
- Day 5-6: Head to the volcanic island of Ischia, stopping at Procida (the Capital of Culture 2022) to see the colorful houses of Corricella.
- Day 7: Return to Capri for a final farewell lunch at the Blue Grotto area.
Marinas, Mooring, and Logistics in Capri
Capri is home to one of the most exclusive marinas in the world. Marina Grande is the only commercial and private port on the island. During the peak of 2026, berthing slots will be highly competitive. It is essential to book your mooring well in advance if you plan to stay overnight. Alternatively, many visitors choose to anchor in the designated zones near Marina Piccola on the southern side, which offers protection from the prevailing northern winds (the Tramontana).
The Beneteau Antares 11 is equipped with an electric windlass and bow thruster, making the process of Mediterranean mooring (stern-to) in tight harbors like Nerano or Amalfi significantly easier for the crew.
What is Included in Your Charter?
When renting a Beneteau Antares 11 in Capri, it is important to understand the fee structure. Most luxury charters operate under two different pricing models: All-Inclusive (common for day trips) or Plus Expenses (common for weekly charters).
- Skipper: Most units are provided with a professional local skipper who knows the secret coves and navigation hazards.
- VAT: Italian Value Added Tax is typically included in the quoted price but should be verified.
- APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance): For weekly charters, an APA of 30% is usually required to cover fuel, food, and beverages.

- Fuel: For day rentals, fuel is often calculated at the end of the day based on engine hours.
Best Months and Sea Conditions
The boating season in Capri officially begins in late April and runs through October. For the best experience, June and September are the "sweet spots." During these months, the sea temperature is ideal for swimming, and the wind conditions are generally stable. The Antares 11 features a hull designed by Sarrazin Design, which handles the "choppy" wake common in the busy waters between Capri and Sorrento with remarkable stability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a license required for renting a Beneteau Antares 11 in Capri?
Since the Antares 11 is powered by twin 300HP outboard engines, a valid ICC or national boating license is mandatory for bareboat rentals. However, most clients prefer the "with skipper" option to navigate the complex local regulations and mooring protocols of the Capri coast.
What is the maximum capacity when chartering a Beneteau Antares 11 in Capri?
For day charters, the boat is licensed to carry up to 12 people. However, for overnight charters, the cabin configuration (two double cabins and a convertible salon) is best suited for 4 to 6 guests to ensure maximum comfort.
Are fuel costs included in the rental price?
Typically, fuel is not included in the base rental price. For a standard day trip around the island of Capri, you can expect to consume between 100 and 200 liters of fuel, depending on your speed and the use of the generator/air conditioning.
