About luxury Crewed Sailing Yacht AXIA
AXIA is a Palmer Johnson 123 sailing yacht built by legendary American builders Palmer Johnson, designed with Sparkman & Stephens naval architecture and John Munford interiors. This is no ordinary charter vessel; she earned 4th place overall in the 2010 St. Barths Bucket superyacht regatta, combining genuine racing capability with refined comfort for six guests across three staterooms.
The interior marries classical sailing heritage with contemporary luxury. Rich teak panelling, polished brass accents, and Baccarat crystal furnishings create a nautical aesthetic that feels both timeless and well-maintained. The master suite features a full-beam walk-around king bed with Italian Frette linens, vanity, and convertible bunks for children. Twin guest staterooms offer en suite showers and generous storage. A dedicated study serves as office and entertainment hub.
Exterior teak decks are thoughtfully arranged with dedicated sun and shade areas for relaxation between sails. Whether you seek authentic offshore sailing, family adventure, or the company of friends in a vessel of proven performance, AXIA delivers with poise and capable seamanship.

The Charter Experience
Charter AXIA along the Amalfi Coast and explore the impossibly picturesque villages of Positano, Ravello, and Salerno. Sail toward Capri, anchor in crystalline coves, and experience the Italian Riviera from a platform purpose-built for discerning sailors. The yacht's racing heritage means responsive handling and genuine performance, whilst the crewed service and refined accommodations ensure effortless luxury. Extend your charter westward to the Leeward Islands or Caribbean, or venture north to the Virgin Islands, where AXIA's proven transoceanic capability shines.
Suggested Itinerary
A week from Naples might unfold as follows: sail south to the Amalfi Coast, anchoring off Positano for lazy mornings and tender explorations of hidden grottoes. Press toward Capri, snorkel the crystalline waters, then westward to Ischia and Procida. Return via the Sorrento Peninsula, with evening drinks on the teak deck as the Campania coastline glows at sunset. For longer voyages, AXIA's offshore capability permits seamless passages to the Tyrrhenian Sea, Balearics, or transatlantic crossings to the Caribbean.
