Morning Onboard - Starting the Day in Style

You awake to the sun shining in through your porthole and the gentle rumble of the yacht's engines as she cruises through calm Mediterranean waters. After a restful night's sleep in your spacious ensuite cabin, you make your way upstairs where breakfast is being served on the deck.

The crew has prepared a delicious spread of pastries, fresh fruits, yogurt, and charcuterie, alongside your choice of specialty coffees or juices. You soak in the views of sparkling blue waters as you converse with other guests over breakfast. Once fueled up, you can start exploring the amenities onboard.

Take a dip in the spacious swimming platform to soak up some vitamin D. Check out the fully-equipped gym or relax with a book in the beautiful lounge area. For those wanting an adrenaline rush, ask the captain about trying your hand at the controls or taking one of the jet skis out for a spin. There's truly something for every interest onboard a luxury yacht.

Morning Activity - Explore Picturesque Capri

By mid-morning, the yacht arrives at the stunning island of Capri off Italy's Amalfi Coast. Known for its incredible blue grottos, lush Mediterranean flora, and posh boutiques, there's no shortage of things to see and do here. Our yacht docks in the chic marina where a private water taxi is waiting to shuttle you ashore.

Spend a few hours exploring the winding alleyways of Capri Town or taking scenic hikes along the coastline. Be sure to visit the iconic Piazzetta in the center of town and grab an Italian coffee or gelato. Art lovers won't want to miss Villa San Michele with its impressive sculpture gardens. As the afternoon rolls in, hop back on the water taxi to grab some pictures of the yacht from out at sea before reboarding for lunch.

Afternoon Dining - Indulge in Gourmet Mediterranean Cuisine

Back onboard, you find the crew has prepared a mouthwatering Mediterranean-inspired lunch spread out buffet-style on the aft deck. Fresh seafood like grilled calamari and sea bass call out to be paired with local Caprese salads, bruschettas, and wines from Italy. Save room to sample homemade tiramisu and cannoli for dessert!

As you dine alfresco with scenic views, the captain points out local sights like the luxurious Villa Lysis and the iconic Faraglioni rock formations jutting out of the sea. Refresh with afternoon cappuccinos before retreating indoors for a siesta in the cool lounge or air-conditioned cabins. Relax to the gentle rocking of the yacht as she sets sail for your next destination.

Afternoon Activity - Relax in Positano's Gorgeous Grotto

A few hours later, your motor yachts arrives in Positano - one of Italy's most photogenic towns clinging to colorfully-painted cliffs along the Amalfi Coast. The crew lowers one of the tenders and ferries groups of guests ashore to explore the charming labyrinthine alleys and shop for local artisanal finds like raku pottery, olive oils, and limoncello.

As the afternoon heat subsides, take a water taxi around the scenic coastline to secret swimming spots carved out amongst the sea cliffs. The most favorite is the Grotta dello Smeraldo ("Emerald Grotto"), a stunning sea-level cavity bathed in an otherworldly emerald hue. Cool off with a refreshing swim here before catching the boat back to the mothership as the sun begins its descent.

Evening En-Route - Cocktails and Hors D'Oeuvres

Back onboard, refresh and change into something comfortable before gathering on the sundeck as the yacht sets sail for the night's anchorage. The friendly crew serves champagne cocktails and hors d'oeuvres like mini bruschettas and cheesy portobello bites as the sky transforms into shades of orange and pink.

Share stories about your adventures ashore over sundowners while admiring the scenic coastline pass by in the distance. As dusk settles in, point out bioluminescent plankton illuminating the water in neon greens and blues. With jazz standards playing softly, gaze up at a sky full of stars appearing one by one. There's truly nothing like a Mediterranean sunset from the sea.

Evening Dining - Indulge in a Five-Course Extravaganza

Once the sky fully darkens, make your way to the main dining area where candles light up the interior. The five-course tasting menu celebrates the freshest seasonal flavors of Italy and features dishes like olive oil-poached swordfish, saffron risotto, and bistecca Fiorentina steak. Local wine pairings are chosen to complement each creation.

After every luxurious bite, don't forget to glance up from your plate to admire the constantly-changing underwater scenery through the floor-to-ceiling windows. As dessert wines are poured, enjoy flourless chocolate tortes and homemade gelati flavors crafted that very afternoon. Linger awhile afterwards chatting with fellow guests over after-dinner drinks before retiring for the night.
