Luxury super yacht charters to the shores of Italy are soaked in fine food, lazy limoncello afternoons, dipping in and out of secret coves, and the soft touch of the finest handmade leathers. There are many reasons why super yachts flock to the shores of Sicily, Sorrento, and beyond, with its charming tumbling towns, its fresh fish, and its blue flag beaches there is nothing more majestic than spending summers in these roman playgrounds.
MY Starfire can take you from the chic and trendy shores of Capri to the fiercely characteristic city of Naples, standing raw and proud beneath the shadow of the brooding Mount Vesuvius. You can spend days exploring the coastline on kayak or Jet Ski, afternoons lingering in resplendent spa bliss, and evenings eating gourmet creations straight out of the five-star kitchen from your own personal super yacht chef. No adventure to Italy would be complete without spending an afternoon indulging in the art of Gelato. Soft, clean and smooth, the Italian version of ice cream coats all your senses in La Dolce Vita, take a peek at where to find Italy’s finest gelato and set sail for shores of sweetness.
Gelateria Alaska, Venice
Venice land of masks, soft meandering canals, and all things magic. Set sail on your luxury super yacht charter to a place where history weaves its way through the streets, where lace is lovingly crafted on the island of Burano, and where beautiful basilicas rise above sparkling turquoise lagoon waters. After spending a lunchtime drinking prosecco in the hot tub aboard MY Starfire or taking a Jet Ski to the pastel painted islands, you can stop off in town for a towering gelato. At Gelateria Alaska you will find Carlo Pistacchi lovingly crafting a wild array of flavors. It seems that Pistacchi adores whimsical and wispy flavors think arugula and orange blossom, cooling basil and strawberry, artichoke and fennel, and fresh faced watermelon and rose.
Caffè Sicilia, Noto, Sicily
Sicily&rsquos stone garden is sun bleached and beautiful, a place to hide when you need respite from the golden gaze sands, the tapestry of blue water, and the pure unadulterated luxury of watching the setting sun from the deck of MY Starfire. Sicily is one of the most famous spots for food along the Italian coast so it comes as no surprise that here is where you will find the best gelato. In Noto you can seek out the infamous Caffè Sicilia. Dating back to 1892 this is the Holy Grail of gelato places, you can stop and find sour orange rind, black olive flavor, wild strawberries plucked from springs firm grasp, local drizzled honey, and scoops pinched and punched with delicate saffron.
Gelateria Buonocore, Capri
Capri is ever the golden child for luxury super yacht charters seeking glitz, gold, and the bluest waters in hidden coves. With one of the most expensive marinas in the whole of Europe you can be sure that Capri knows how to step it up a notch or two, even down to the finer details, like the taste of their gelato. Luxury yacht mornings are best spent swimming in the blue grotto before hitting the designer craft stores that cram into the pretty streets of Anacapri. When you need to duck out of the glowing sun be sure to stop at Gelateria Buonocore. Here you can lose yourself in the lore of stracciatella, the whipped up creaminess of coconut, and thick fudge. There&rsquos only standing room and the vibe is sweet and simple, but the freshly baked warm waffle cones truly add a touch of comfort that is quite simply hard to beat.
