The Amalfi Coast reveals its true rhythm from the water. Cliffs glow warmer, villages feel quieter, and the coastline unfolds without urgency. A private yacht journey with Burgess Yachts reframes this legendary stretch of Italy into something intimate and fluid — where each moment is shaped by light, sea, and mood rather than schedules.
This is Amalfi distilled to its most elegant form: moving effortlessly between Capri, Positano, and Amalfi, slipping into hidden coves, and returning each evening to a floating private residence designed entirely around you.

The Experience On Board
Life aboard your Burgess-chartered yacht mirrors the coast’s understated glamour. Mornings begin softly with espresso on deck and a swim directly from the platform into clear turquoise water. Interiors feel residential rather than formal — light-filled lounges, serene suites, and shaded decks that invite lingering.
Afternoons drift by in sun and salt air as the yacht glides along limestone cliffs and pastel villages. The crew moves quietly, orchestrating everything from tender landings to beachside lunches without ever interrupting the flow.
As evening arrives, the yacht transforms. Candles flicker, the coastline glows, and dinner becomes an event — unhurried, elegant, and framed by the sea.
Key Stops Along the Amalfi Coast
Capri
Often the natural starting point, Capri balances glamour with raw beauty. Anchor near the Faraglioni, swim in luminous water, and enjoy the island once the daytime crowds fade — returning to the calm of the yacht as evening settles.
Positano
Approached by sea, Positano feels theatrical and timeless. The village cascades down the cliffs, best admired from your deck at sunset. Tender ashore for a stroll or linger onboard with a glass in hand — both are equally perfect.
Amalfi & the Coast Beyond
Cruising past Amalfi offers a historic counterpoint to Capri’s polish. Between towns, the coastline hides quiet coves reachable only by boat — ideal for swimming, drifting, and doing very little at all.

On land, Amalfi is iconic. From a private yacht, it becomes personal. Distances shrink, crowds dissolve, and the coastline reveals itself on its own terms. A Burgess charter removes friction entirely, replacing logistics with flow and schedules with instinct.

Morning light on pastel villages. Salt on sun-warmed skin. Evenings when the coast quiets and the sea feels like it belongs only to you. The Amalfi Coast lingers in memory — but experienced this way, it never quite lets go.
