Charter Wally in Capri: Models, Prices and Routes (2026)
Chartering a Wally in Capri represents the ultimate fusion of minimalist design and high-performance engineering against the backdrop of the Tyrrhenian Sea. As we look toward the 2026 season, these iconic vessels remain the most sought-after choice for travelers who prioritize speed, expansive deck space, and a distinct aesthetic that stands out in the Marina Grande.
Most Requested Wally Models for Capri Charters
Wally Yachts are defined by their "stealth" appearance and functional luxury. For the 2026 season, three specific categories of Wally powerboats are dominating the Capri charter market, catering to different group sizes and performance requirements.
- Wallytender43: The quintessential day boat. Measuring approximately 13 meters, it is perfect for groups of up to 12 guests. Its iconic fold-down bulwarks expand the aft deck into a massive "beach club" at anchor near the Faraglioni.
- Wallytender48: A step up in volume and stability, the 48-footer offers a cabin with a head and shower, making it ideal for those who want a private space to change or rest during a full day at sea. It typically accommodates 12 guests for day cruises.
- Wallywhy Series (150/200): For those seeking a yacht charter in Capri for extended periods, the Wallywhy series offers a wide-body design that provides the interior volume of a much larger superyacht. These models feature multiple cabins (usually 3 to 4) and can host 8 guests for overnight stays.
Charter Prices in Capri for 2026
Pricing for a Wally charter is influenced by the specific model, the time of year, and the duration of the rental. In Capri, the season typically peaks in July and August, while May, June, and September offer slightly more competitive rates.

Best 1-Day Routes Departing from Marina Grande
Most Wally charters begin at Marina Grande, the island's primary hub. Because Wally yachts are built for speed, you can cover more ground than a traditional displacement boat, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of the island's perimeter and the nearby Amalfi Coast.
The Capri Perimeter: Start by heading east toward the Grotta Bianca (White Grotto) and the Arco Naturale. The highlight of the morning is navigating through the hole in the Stella rock, part of the legendary Faraglioni trio. Continue to the South side for lunch at La Fontelina or Da Gioia in Marina Piccola, followed by an afternoon swim in the Grotta Verde (Green Grotto) and a visit to the Lighthouse (Punta Carena) before the sunset run back to port.
The Nerano & Positano Dash: A Wallytender can cross from Capri to the mainland in approximately 20-30 minutes. This route takes you to the bay of Nerano (Marina del Cantone) for a world-class pasta lunch, followed by a cruise along the Li Galli islands—once owned by Rudolf Nureyev—and a quick stop in front of Positano for photos before returning to Capri as the crowds thin out.
Multi-Day Itineraries: Exploring the Phlegraean Islands
If you choose to charter a Wally for 3 to 7 days, you can expand your horizon beyond the immediate vicinity of Capri. The speed of these vessels makes island-hopping effortless.
- 3-Day Escape: Day 1: Capri exploration. Day 2: Ischia, visiting the Castello Aragonese and the thermal springs of Sorgeto. Day 3: The colorful, quiet island of Procida (Marina Corricella) before returning to Capri.
- 7-Day Amalfi & Cilento Coast: This itinerary allows for overnight stays in Positano, Amalfi, and Cetara. You can also venture further south to the Cilento National Park, visiting the pristine waters of Punta Licosa and the sea caves of Palinuro, areas rarely reached by standard day charters.
Marinas and Berthing Logistics in Capri
Securing a berth in Capri is notoriously difficult during the summer months. Marina Grande is the only commercial harbor on the island capable of hosting large yachts. It is divided into the Porto Turistico (for private yachts) and the commercial area (for ferries).
For those on a Wally day charter, you will likely board at the "Molo Umberto I." If you are planning an overnight stay on a larger Wally model, it is imperative to book your berth months in advance. Many guests prefer to stay at anchor in Marina Piccola on the south side of the island, which offers better protection from northern winds and a more exclusive atmosphere, though it requires a tender transfer to reach the shore.
What is Included in a Wally Charter?
When you browse our luxury boat selection, it is important to understand the cost structure of a high-end charter. In the Mediterranean, and specifically in Capri, the "Base Rate" usually covers the yacht and the crew (skipper and often a stewardess for larger models).
Additional costs typically include:
- VAT: 22% is the standard Italian rate for charters starting in Italy.
- APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance): Usually 30-35% of the charter fee for multi-day trips. This covers fuel, food, beverages, and port fees.
- Fuel: For day charters, fuel is often calculated by engine hours or a flat rate based on a pre-set route. Wallys are high-performance machines; fuel consumption is a significant factor.
- Inclusions: Most premium charters include towels, snorkeling gear, a welcome bottle of champagne or local Limoncello, and soft drinks.
Season, Weather, and Best Months
The Capri charter season officially runs from May to October. However, the "sweet spot" for a Wally charter is June or September. During these months, the sea temperature is pleasant (22°C-25°C), the humidity is low, and the intense "Libeccio" winds are less frequent than in the shoulder months.
July and August offer the most vibrant social scene, with beach clubs like Il Riccio and La Conca del Sogno at their peak. However, sea traffic is heavy, and the "stealth" advantage of a Wally—its ability to zip between crowded bays—becomes its greatest asset.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can fit on a Wallytender for a day trip?
Most Wallytender 43 and 48 models are licensed to carry up to 12 guests plus crew. Even though the boat feels spacious, maritime regulations in Italy strictly enforce this limit for commercial charters.
Can we visit the Blue Grotto on a Wally?
While a Wally can take you to the entrance of the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), you cannot enter the cave with the yacht. You must transfer to a small, traditional wooden rowing boat operated by local oarsmen. Your captain will wait at anchor nearby.
What is the fuel consumption of a Wallytender 48?
Depending on the engines and speed, a Wallytender 48 typically consumes between 120 and 180 liters of fuel per hour at cruising speed (approx. 30-35 knots). High-speed sprints will increase this consumption significantly.
Is a skipper included in the price?
Yes, all luxury Wally charters in Capri are "crewed," meaning a professional skipper is included. This ensures safety, local knowledge of hidden coves, and allows you to enjoy the experience without the responsibility of navigation.
