Dreaming in Italian? Need a sailing adventure with breathtaking coastal views away from the crush of the crowds? Our Italy Group Sailing has your name on it!

https://marinerboating.com/italy/

From fast paced, pizza loving Naples to the turquoise grottos of Capri, the Amalfi Coast of Italy is everything your Mediterranean summer escape should be. Sail a coast where vertical mountains rise from the sea, where fresh pasta and seafood is served under the canopy sprawling olive trees.

Explore the streets of Amalfi town, escape the heat with a cooling gelato, then as the sun sets over the Tyrrhenian Sea, climb the hills behind Amalfi and walk ‘The Path of the Gods’.

Mutiny & come on your own!

If you're a solo adventurer or a couple looking for a crew it can be frustrating to try and get "all your ducks in a row". You need to find people who want to do the same trip, and then you need to organise them. All this can be stressful and reduce your chances of getting away.

This is why we always have an option to book a private cabin on our trips! All of our cabins have a professional skipper on board the yacht and we do the hard work of finding other guests for you to sail with.

However you need to be quick with booking, we only have TWO cabins remaining for our Italy Sailing!

NEW FOR 2024 - Our new, shorter one week sailing trips are coming soon! Register your interest now!

In the next week or two we will be releasing our brand new 1 week sailing trips for 2024. Starting with Croatia in July and August, these shorter trips for are specifically designed for anyone:

- Short on time:
We know that spending a full 2 weeks of your Europe holiday to sail can be a tough ask when there are so many amazing bucket list spots to tick off and limited time to see everything.

- Unsure if a 2 week sailing holiday is the right fit for them:
If you haven’t sailed with us before, or in general, 2 weeks on a yacht with strangers can feel a little daunting. We promise you’ll have a great time and 1 week is a great introduction to what we offer.

- Trying to work within a budget:
We’ve seen recent airfare prices too and understand the cost to fly to Europe is astronomical in the last 2 years.

- Haven’t sailed with Mariner Boating before:
These 1 week trips are also designed for our new guests who have maybe heard about our trips from friends or at their local yacht club but don’t really know what our trips are like. The shorter 1 week trip really is designed to be a small taste of how fun our classic Mariner Rallies can be!

If you would like to know more about these trips you can register now to be the first to know!
