Italy has more than 7,500 kilometres of coastline, and many of its loveliest corners are best seen from the water. A traditional wooden gulet, with its spacious deck and relaxed atmosphere, lets you explore them at your own pace, with no packing and unpacking and no dependence on roads or timetables.
On board you have a private cabin, a professional crew and freshly prepared meals, while the boat takes you to a different bay or harbour each day. Anchoring in a quiet cove for a swim and lunch on deck is hard to match on land. It works well for families, groups of friends and special celebrations.
Villages perched on cliffs, lemon groves and emerald waters.
Active volcanoes, dark-sand beaches and unforgettable food.
Crystal-clear coves and calm anchorages in the La Maddalena archipelago.
Green islands, good wine and charming villages.
Sea caves, whitewashed towns and simple, delicious cuisine.
The best season runs from May to October. June and September usually bring great weather with fewer crowds, while July and August are the liveliest and most in demand. For 2027, it's best to book early, especially if you want summer dates.
