Cilento Private Yacht Cruise from Acciaroli

A full day: boarding at 11:00 in the port of Acciaroli and back by 18:00, with the route north along the coast to Punta Licosa and time to swim and snorkel.

€1,850 for the whole 22-metre yacht Nikole K, for up to 12 guests, with skipper, hostess and fuel included. The price is the same for two guests or twelve.

Punta Licosa is the headland and lighthouse islet north of Acciaroli, inside the Santa Maria di Castellabate marine protected area, one of Italy's first marine parks. The point itself is private land reached only on foot, so the sea is the best way to see it, and to swim in its clear, protected water.

Yes. Nikole K's large stern swim platform puts you straight into the water. Punta Licosa is a marine protected area with speed limits near the coast and no-anchor zones, which the crew follows; that protection is part of why the water is so clear.

Yes. The beaches of Acciaroli and Pioppi, in the municipality of Pollica, received the Blue Flag again in 2026, as they have for about ten years in a row.

Acciaroli is about 75 km south of Salerno on the Cilento coast. The nearest train station is Vallo della Lucania-Castelnuovo, about 30 minutes away by bus or taxi.

That is the local legend: people in Acciaroli say Ernest Hemingway once sat on the harbour talking to an old fisherman, and that his stories found their way into The Old Man and the Sea. It cannot be proved, but it is a good story to start a day at sea.

Three cabins and three private bathrooms with shower, a double saloon with a dining room and a lounge, air conditioning, a flybridge, an outdoor shower, a tender and an electric boarding gangway. She is a 22-metre Akhir 22 Fly by Cantieri di Pisa. Food and drinks are not included.

Yes, on request and at an extra cost, because our Salerno crew travels to Acciaroli to run them. In an Opera Lecture, our founder shows the great masterpieces of opera on the yacht's TV and explains them; the cooking classes teach the secrets of Italian and Neapolitan cooking. Ask when you book. On Antonella IV in Salerno, both are included in the price.

Yes. Besides the private cruise, Nikole K sails shared day cruises from Acciaroli to Punta Licosa: you book only your own seats, at €310 per person with skipper, hostess and fuel included, and share the yacht with up to 12 guests. The shared cruise sails with at least 6 guests in total and is confirmed 3 days before; otherwise you choose another date, the whole yacht as a private cruise (paying the difference) or a full refund.
