Hi all! I’m thinking about renting a yacht in Italy this summer. I have some sailing experience but haven’t been there before. What routes do you recommend for first-timers? Are there any safety concerns or local rules I should be aware of? Also, what’s the best way to book without overpaying?

Italy is fantastic for sailing, but there are definitely a few things to keep in mind. The western coast, including the Amalfi Coast and Capri, is beautiful but can get crowded. Sardinia and the Aeolian Islands are quieter and perfect for exploring hidden coves. Always check local regulations, especially for mooring near towns, and keep in mind seasonal weather changes. Booking early usually helps with better rates, and services like https://12knots.com/en/yacht-charter/countries/italy/ are super reliable—they offer yachts with clear itineraries, advice, and all the info you need to sail safely while enjoying the best parts of Italy.
