There are fast yachts, and then there is Fast & Furious. At 44.6 metres, powered by three MTU engines producing a combined 7,800 horsepower, and capable of hitting 42 knots flat out, she is — frankly — in a category of her own. This is the kind of vessel that makes an Italy yacht charter feel genuinely cinematic. And right now, she has rare late-summer availability with a 20% discount on weekly charters throughout September 2026. The window is small. The opportunity is not.
Built for the Italian Coast — All of It
What sets a private yacht charter aboard Fast & Furious apart from almost any other option in the Mediterranean is sheer range. Based out of Salerno, she doesn't just hug the Amalfi Coast — she devours it and keeps going. The Aeolian Islands? Four hours away. Taormina and the dramatic Sicilian coastline? Five. Sardinia's wild northern shores? Seven hours, and you're anchoring in waters that most charter guests never reach in a week.
That changes everything about how you plan a charter holiday. You're not limited to a single stretch of coast. You can wake up beneath the cliffs of Positano, have lunch off Capri, and by sunset be threading through the volcanic archipelago north of Sicily. We think that kind of freedom — real freedom, not the kind you get on a slower vessel making tentative hops between ports — is what separates a great charter from an extraordinary one.
The Amalfi Coast & Beyond: Italy's Greatest Hits, at Speed
The Amalfi Coast needs no introduction, but it rewards those who arrive by sea. Positano's pastel facades tumbling down to the waterfront. The sea caves and Blue Grotto of Capri. The aristocratic calm of Ravello seen from the water at dusk. Aboard a high-speed luxury yacht charter like this one, these aren't just postcard moments — they're the backdrop to your morning coffee, your afternoon swim, your pre-dinner Aperol.
Corsica and Sardinia deserve equal billing here. Sardinia's Costa Smeralda is one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world — turquoise shallows, granite outcrops sculpted by millennia of wind, beaches that look frankly impossible. The fact that Fast & Furious can reach the northern tip of Sardinia in under a day from Salerno means a single week's charter could comfortably take in both the dramatic southern Italian coast and the wild, luminous beauty of the island's interior bays.
Then there are the Aeolian Islands — Stromboli's permanently smoking crater visible from the sea, Panarea's whitewashed lanes and celebrity harbour scene, Vulcano's sulphurous mud baths — a chain of seven volcanic islands that feels entirely apart from the rest of Italy. The coastline here is, honestly, unmatched. And from Salerno, Fast & Furious puts them within a half-day's run.
Ten Guests, Five Staterooms, Zero Compromise
Speed is only part of the story. Fast & Furious accommodates up to ten guests across five staterooms — four doubles and a twin — all finished to the kind of standard you'd expect from a vessel that has been twice a finalist at the World Superyacht Awards. A full refit in 2024 brought enhancements to both the main deck and upper deck, and it shows. The living areas are contemporary, bright, and genuinely generous in scale. The outdoor deck spaces are made for long evenings.
She also carries twin Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilisers — meaning the ride is smooth even at speed — and her shallow 1.3-metre draft opens up anchorages that deeper-hulled yachts simply cannot access. That matters more than you might think when you're picking your way into a hidden Sardinian cove or tucking into a deserted bay off the Amalfi peninsula.
Crew-wise, a captain and seven crew look after ten guests. The ratios speak for themselves. A charter client from June 2026 put it well: "The captain and crew were incredibly attentive, ensuring every detail was taken care of throughout the charter. The food was delicious, with a wonderful variety of dishes that exceeded our expectations. We left with wonderful memories and can't wait to return."
The September Offer — Act Quickly
September in southern Italy is — we'll say it plainly — the finest month to be afloat. The summer crowds thin out, the light turns golden, and the sea is still warm. Fast & Furious has limited availability remaining for September 2026, with a 20% reduction on her weekly rate applying to all bookings in this period. This is a rare discount on a vessel that rarely needs to offer one.
