When To Visit Italy
Summer
The Summer months of June through August usher in the warmest temperatures, longest days, and height of the yacht charter season along the coast. This also means all the top bars, restaurants, wineries, orchards, shops, and other activities are guaranteed to be open. While temperatures during the day are typically in the high 80s, the night brings cool breezes to refresh you on and off your boat.
Spring or Fall
For those looking for a more tranquil experience, the shoulder seasons are best for a visit to Positano and the Amalfi Coast. Additionally, the cooler temperatures allow for much more rigorous activities, like hikes, without the risk of heat exhaustion and sunburn. May and early June, in particular, provide a landscape of bright flowers and lush greenery.
On the opposite shoulder, September also provides a lovely experience, with warm waters and local events. The crowds have subsided, and the weather is still perfect for chartering.
