Italy’s iconic coastline came alive this July, with superyacht activity reaching peak levels. According to BOATPro AIS data, Costa Smeralda and La Maddalena recorded the highest yacht concentrations in the country, closely followed by Capri, the Amalfi Coast, and the Aeolian Islands. Even smaller hubs such as Portofino and Taormina saw a notable increase in arrivals, illustrating just how busy Italy’s waters were during the height of summer.

The heatmap reveals popular cruising hotspots and busy anchorages across the country. For crew, this meant navigating dense traffic, coordinating movements between destinations, and adapting to the high volume of yachts along Italy’s most frequented routes. It was a month that combined operational challenges with the opportunity to experience some of the Mediterranean’s most breathtaking waters.
