CIKILA | 2000

Best for: groups of friends exploring the Amalfi Coast, with couples seeking a local Italian experience a close second.

Cikila is a 23-metre ARNO motor yacht based in Sorrento, and her strongest card is the local knowledge her two-man crew bring to every itinerary. Captain Vittorio Esposito grew up in Sorrento and has six years of professional yachting experience, advancing from deck cadet to captain aboard private yachts. Deckhand and chef Mirko Staiano, also Sorrento-born, has a genuine passion for Mediterranean cooking and prepares fresh regional recipes on board.

With three cabins and capacity for up to eight guests, Cikila suits a group of friends or a couple of families wanting a proper Italian coastal charter. The crew's local roots mean anchorages, restaurants ashore, and coastal routes are chosen with real familiarity rather than a guidebook. Mirko's galley work keeps things grounded in the region's food culture, so the experience on board matches what you find on the plate ashore.
