Italy holds the lowest published weekly charter figure anywhere in this record, and it is not a marketing number. Nautilus Yachting states that a two to three cabin monohull starts around 1200 pounds in low season for a one week bareboat charter, which is less than any Moorings destination publishes and less than a fortnight of day hire on the same coast would cost.
What the cheapest published Italian week is
A small older monohull, out of season, sailed by you. That is what around 1200 pounds buys on Nautilus Yachting's published figure, and stating it plainly matters because a great deal of charter marketing implies the entry price to a week aboard is many thousands. It is not the price of a catamaran in August with a skipper, and this page does not pretend otherwise.
The day-hire half of the Italian market
Boataround publishes from 592 EUR a day against a 16.7m Solaris 55 at Porto Rotondo in Sardinia, with a mandatory skipper priced separately per day and a transit log charged per rental. Click&Boat and SamBoat both print day-rate from-prices across their Italian listings. Italy is one of the few markets where both halves, the week and the day, can be read without enquiring at all.
Which Italian coast you are actually buying
Sardinia, Sicily, the Amalfi coast, the Tuscan archipelago and the Aeolians are separate cruising grounds with separate bases, and a week is a week in one of them. The Amalfi coast is the most expensive to berth and the most crowded in August; Sardinia's north coast is the most sheltered; the Aeolians are the most dramatic and the most exposed. None of that shows up in a headline rate.
