MARINER BOATING HOLIDAYS YACHT RALLIES 2020

Imagine sailing a coast where vertical mountains rise from the sea, and fresh pasta and seafood is served under the canopy of a sprawling olive tree.

Picture yourself within the streets of Positano, escaping the heat with a cooling gelato, then watching the sun set over the Tyrrhenian Sea. For the more energetic, walk ‘The Path of the Gods’ from Amalfi and explore some inland villages. The sun kissed Amalfi coastline is the perfect place to explore from the sea, with spectacular views on display from the comfort of a yacht you can call home away from home for 14 nights. Combine your love of adventure with a little La Dolce Vita, and join a sailing venture of a lifetime.

Pre Rally: Add extra nights at the Grand Hotel Santa Lucia in Naples for just AU$320 per person, per night, double occupancy with breakfast.

From Naples to turquoise grottos, the Amalfi Coast is everything a Mediterranean summer escape should be | 11 to 26 September 2020

Here’s how it worksA local technician will also be available during the tour to assist with the yachts, berthing, provide navigational support with intimate local knowledge of things to see and do along the way.

How do I get there?The city of Naples is easily accessed from all major cities in Italy, and most major airports within Europe.

The fastest route from Australia is via Rome and Italy’s national carrier, Alitalia, fly daily to Naples. However if you prefer to arrive by train, Italy has an extensive train network and you won’t be stuck for options. Alternatively, hire a car and take the time to explore Italy’s 20 regions!

Life on boardYour sailing yacht offers space and stability on the water. It’s modern and comfortable, with areas to relax both below and above deck. Throw down a cushion, curl up and read a book, or make use of the easy access to the water for a swim.

Your travelling companionsEvery group is different, but typically you’ll find your co-travellers will be aged between 40 and 65, enjoy keeping active, love the ocean, have a sense of adventure, love fine foods, a glass of wine, and a good chat.

Small group comfortYou’ll sail in comfort as part of a small group of yachts. Vessel layouts will vary depending on which yacht you choose. Each cabin sleeps two and most yachts have cabins with a private bathroom attached.

Example yacht layout

Your nominated yacht will soon feel like a home away from home as you sail along the Amalfi coast soaking in the sights. Unpack your bags, move in and enjoy the relaxed vibe like a true local.

Designed for style and space, the yachts in our rally fleet have all the creature comforts above and below deck, while maintaining performance under sail. Each cabin offers a double bed with ample space and storage.

European sockets are located in each cabin and in the saloon. The yachts work on a 220V/12V system and they all have an inverter on board, perfect for charging cameras and phones.

Enjoy the freedom of being able to access the shore easily and explore at your leisure. Relax under a shade canopy on your yacht with a good book or go for a swim and dry off in the sun on the fore deck. Lunch on-board usually consists of organic local cheeses, fresh salad and fruit purchased with bread straight from a local bakeries’ oven, enjoyed with a glass of local wine.

This is the reality of an afternoon well spent on this justly famous coastline. And you are, of course, away from the bustling crowds on shore.
