A Technicolor Dream on a Boat-only Coast

Hikes. Views.

Time to escape? Then order an espresso doppio. Because the Path of the Gods hiking trail above Positano is aptly named. This 7km path is a leg-trembling, rock-scrambling, daredevil route. With views across Capri and the entire Amalfi Coast. Cool off with a swim at Marina di Praia Beach. It’s an only-in-Italy cove with a beach club squeezed between cliffs. When it’s time to return to your Y.CO charter yacht, your tender and crew are on hand.

Unspoiled Nature, Crystal Clear Waters

West of Positano, the Amalfi Coast becomes a boat-only affair. Its end-of-the-world beaches can only be reached by kayaks, tenders and paddleboards. The Baia di Ieranto is guarded by wild olives, spotted geckos and a tumbledown castle. Punta Campanella is another nature reserve known only to mountain goats and passing boats. Cala di Mitigliano beach is Robinson Crusoe cool. Dawn hikes, sunset picnics and pirate parties by torchlight bear the promise of your own private sands. Such activities are second nature for the crew on your yacht charter in Positano.

Your Guide to Positano

Otherworldly Scenery

Up close Positano appears like a Vogue cover shoot. Jasmine and bougainvillea tumble over Vespas and cobbled streets. In the 1960s Italy’s first bikinis were imported here from France. Jet set dilettantes co-opted Positano’s palette into whimsical beachwear to create la Moda Positano - or ‘Positano Style’. The resort’s current dress code is Paris Hilton meets Hermès meets anything-goes. Any Y.CO yacht guest will fit right in.
