Luxury Yacht Charter in Venice & the Italian Adriatic, Mediterranean

Along the Adriatic Sea lies stunning towns, cities, and harbors to visit during a yacht charter to Venice and the Italian Adriatic. No better place exists to enjoy a luxury yacht charter than in a city on the water that offers ageless beauty and exquisite architecture.

Romance ensues as you cruise the canals of the historic city of Venice. Here, you will find only cobblestone streets, gondolas and boats — there are no roads for cars. The perfect place to get lost while wandering the canals, stopping at various cafes and window-shopping local boutiques. Piazza St. Marco is home to the ever-incredible St. Mark’s Basilica as well as the ever-opulent Doge’s palace and St. Mark’s Campanile, which is worth the climb for the stunning views of the city. Find some of Italy’s most famous designers, such as Versace, Gucci, Fendi and more, lining Calle Larga XXII Marzo. After an afternoon of shopping, stop in Harry’s bar, the birthplace of the Bellini and Beef Carpaccio, for a true taste of Venice. Seafood is a staple in Venetian cuisine. Enjoy a meal at Osteria Boccadoro or one of the city’s oldest trattorias, Antiche Carampane, to get your fill of traditional fare.

South of Venice on the eastern coast of Italy, you’ll find the beautiful white-sand beaches of Ancona, which sit below dramatic cliffs covered in sprawling evergreen trees, creating a stunning juxtaposition — perfect for any photographer’s lens and a unique backdrop for your luxury superyacht charter. The extreme nature of the coast is alluring, as are some incredible sights of the city. A Venice and Italian Adriatic yacht charter would not be complete without a visit to Ancona’s Cathedral of San Ciriaco, which was built in 1,000 A.D. on a site originally home to a Greek temple of Aphrodite.

To the northwest of Venice lies the enticing and exciting city and seaport Trieste. Pulling influences from the Germanic Habsburgs, this city combines cultures from Italy as well as the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Stock Exchange Square still stands, and a visit to the seafront, where the Victory Lighthouse sits watch over the idyllic port, is a must during a Venice and Italian Adriatic yacht charter. Various castles can be found in Trieste, such as Castel San Giusto and Castello Miramare.
