How does a private boat charter from Naples work?

Updated June 2026

A private boat charter from Naples gives you a boat and a professional skipper for the day, departing from the Bay of Naples. Prices start from €5,100 per day; the Rizzardi INsix carries up to 12 guests, and no boating licence is needed. You book by sending a request, and the BlueKeys concierge confirms availability before any payment — there is no instant online checkout. By sea you can reach Capri, Procida, Ischia, the Sorrento peninsula and the Gaiola underwater park.

Naples is one of the easiest places on this coast to start a day on the water, because so much sits within a comfortable cruise of the harbour. Head west and the Posillipo coast unfolds in a few minutes — sandstone cliffs, sea caves and the protected Gaiola underwater park, where you anchor over clear water and snorkel above submerged Roman ruins. Push further and the open bay opens toward the islands, with Capri, Procida and Ischia each a different kind of day at sea.

On board, the day is yours to shape. Your skipper knows where the water stays calm, when the light is best for the Faraglioni of Capri, and which bays empty out while the ferries are elsewhere. You stop to swim off the back of the boat, drift into a grotto, eat lunch at anchor in a quiet cove, then move on whenever you feel like it. There is no schedule to keep and no crowd to follow.

The Rizzardi INsix is the boat available from Naples, carrying up to 12 guests at €5,100 a day, which makes it well suited to families, groups of friends and special occasions where space and privacy matter. You don't operate anything yourself — the skipper handles navigation, mooring and the route. Send your date and party size and the concierge will confirm availability and the final details before anything is paid.

06FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I book a private boat in Naples?

Send a booking request with your date, the number of guests and roughly where you would like to go. Our concierge then checks availability with the operator and confirms the boat, the skipper and the final price. Nothing is charged automatically — there is no instant online payment, and your date is only held once we confirm it with you.

Is a skipper included in the charter?

Yes. Every charter from Naples includes a professional skipper who handles the navigation, mooring and safety on board. You do not operate the boat yourself, so you can relax and enjoy the day while the skipper takes care of the route and the technical side.

Is fuel included in the price?

It depends on the boat. Some charters include fuel in the daily rate while others bill it separately, so the exact terms are shown on the listing. When our concierge confirms your booking we will make the fuel policy for your chosen boat completely clear before you decide.

Do I need a boating licence?

No. Because every charter comes with a professional skipper, you do not need a licence or any boating experience. The skipper is responsible for handling and navigating the boat throughout the day, so all you need to do is come aboard and enjoy the trip.

How many guests can come, and where can we reach by sea?

The Rizzardi INsix available in Naples carries up to 12 guests for the day. By sea from the Bay of Naples you can reach Capri, Procida, Ischia, the Sorrento peninsula and the Gaiola underwater park off Posillipo, depending on how you plan the day with your skipper.
