A 50 to 60m motor yacht the Tremiti Islands in the 2026 peak window (mid-July through mid-August) sits on a weekly rate of $370,000 to $580,000 plus 27 to 29 percent APA, takes 10 to 12 guests on the 6-cabin standard, and runs 14 to 17 crew. The Tremiti archipelago is the small Italian Adriatic marine-park cluster of San Domino, San Nicola, Capraia, Cretaccio, and Pianosa, lying 12 nautical miles north of the Gargano promontory and 80 nautical miles north of Brindisi. The structural arrival runs through Bari (BRI) at 110 kilometres south or Pescara (PSR) at 180 kilometres northwest, with the helicopter transit landing at the supplementary Foggia (FOG) airfield or directly on the San Domino helipad on prior arrangement. The bracket runs the Tremiti as a structural Puglia-leg overnight or three-night central node, not as a single-week destination; the entire archipelago sits inside a marine-park permit zone and the anchor is the leeward face on the captain's prior agency notification. Roughly 2 to 5 yachts in this LOA work the Tremiti through a typical August week, with the structural fleet running on Puglia-led or Adriatic-crossing programmes.

Why the bracket works the Tremiti Islands

The Cala delle Arene San Domino anchor. The southern face of San Domino runs the structural overnight anchor on the Cala delle Arene sandy bay on the leeward face of the prevailing summer northwesterly, with the supplementary western Cala dello Spido anchor on the rocky inner cove. The Cala delle Arene runs the swim-platform daylight programme and the chase boat shore brief on the San Domino pine-forest interior walk, on the marine-park permit basis with the captain's prior agency notification.

The Pagliai stack and the western San Domino cliffs. The western face of San Domino runs the structural daytime swim brief on the Pagliai stack rock-formation anchor and the Architiello sea-arch daylight call, with the bracket holding the daylight swim on the calm-water August window. The marine-park southern-zone permit covers the Architiello and Pagliai swim brief on the prior agency notification.

The San Nicola monastery and the inner-channel day-call. San Nicola at 0.5 nautical mile north of San Domino runs the structural day-call on the inner-channel anchor between San Domino and San Nicola, with the shore brief at the Santa Maria a Mare monastery (the 11th-century Benedictine foundation) on the tender shuttle. The inner-channel anchor runs the structural daylight rhythm and the bracket holds the overnight on the Cala delle Arene or returns the San Domino southern bay.

The Capraia and Cretaccio day-calls. Capraia at 1 nautical mile east of San Nicola runs the structural daytime call on the eastern marine-park reserve-zone perimeter on the captain's prior agency notification (the inner-zone access is structurally closed to the bracket); the Cretaccio islet south of San Nicola runs the supplementary daytime swim call on the southern-face permit basis.

What the bracket buys you in this bracket at the Tremiti Islands

Cabins. Six standard. The 6-cabin August week reads through the Tremiti as a two to three-night Adriatic central node on a Puglia-led or Croatian-bound rotation.

Crew. Fourteen to seventeen. Italian or Maltese-flag charter list dominates the Adriatic fleet and the captain plus chief stew hold the Italian-language operational fluency on the marine-park reserve-zone agency and the San Domino harbour master notification. The chief stew's prior bench on the Hotel Gabbiano San Domino terrace, the Architiello sea-arch private daytime brief, and the Punta del Diamante San Domino lunch reservation is the structural broker-side question at inquiry.

Tenders. Primary 10 to 12m for the San Domino and San Nicola shore transfer, secondary 7 to 8m for the at-anchor lunch programme at the Cala delle Arene and the Pagliai stack, plus a chase boat for the daytime water-sports brief at the Architiello sea-arch and the western cliff face. The Tremiti tender programme runs through the August window on the structural marine-park anchor-based daylight rhythm.

At-anchor stabilizers. Required. The Cala delle Arene San Domino overnight, the inner-channel daytime, and the western Pagliai stack daylight anchor run the at-anchor stabilizers through the August calm window. The bracket holds the overnight on the structural leeward face on the captain's prior agency notification. The 2018-and-newer hulls run the structural zero-speed product.

Beach club. Required. The Cala delle Arene southern, the Pagliai stack western, and the inner-channel anchors run the beach club open through the swim brief and the bracket runs the fold-out terraces hard through the August daylight window. The Tremiti August daytime water band runs 24 to 26 degrees on the southern and western faces.

Helipad. Cat A useful. The Foggia or Bari fixed-wing transit runs the 35 to 50-minute helicopter leg to the San Domino helipad on the marine-park air-traffic agency notification, with the supplementary Puglia and Croatian crossing rotation on the inter-archipelago window. The captain's prior helipad protocol and the marine-park agency notification hold the bracket-fit operation.

Trip shape that fits the bracket

The Tremiti run the structural Adriatic central node or northern Puglia overnight. The 3-night Tremiti-only shape runs Cala delle Arene San Domino central anchor, daytime western Pagliai stack and Architiello sea-arch swim brief, day-call San Nicola monastery on the tender shuttle, supplementary inner-channel overnight, return Puglia or Croatian transit. Three nights. The Tremiti shape suits the late May to early July and the early to mid-September shoulder window.

For the 7-night Puglia-and-Tremiti charter the bracket runs Brindisi (one night) plus Otranto Baia dei Turchi (one night) plus Polignano Lama Monachile offshore (one night) plus Tremiti San Domino three-night central node plus the Vieste Gargano coast overnight (one night). For the 10-day Brindisi-to-Croatia Adriatic crossing the bracket runs Puglia three nights plus Tremiti two nights plus the Adriatic transit to the southern Dalmatian Lastovo or Vis (one night transit) plus the central Dalmatian Hvar three-night base. For destination context see Charter Croatia, Charter Mediterranean, and the Mediterranean charter weekly rates report.

What the bracket does not do well at the Tremiti Islands

The single-week Tremiti-only charter. The Tremiti archipelago covers 3 square kilometres of land and a 16-square-kilometre marine-park zone, which is structurally too small for a single-week bracket programme; the bracket-fit shape reads through the three-night central-node use on a Puglia or Croatian-leg rotation. We would pass on broker representations of a single-week Tremiti charter and suggest the Puglia-and-Tremiti or the Adriatic crossing shape.

The inner reserve-zone access without the marine-park agency notification. The Tremiti marine-park reserve-zone (the inner perimeter around Capraia and the western Pianosa face) runs the structural closed-access permit basis and the bracket-fit anchor is structurally outside the inner zone on the agency-cleared perimeter. Confirm the captain's prior marine-park agency tenure with the 72-hour lead-time notification at inquiry, or hold the Cala delle Arene southern-face anchor without the inner-zone brief.

The Cala delle Arene overnight on the August prevailing northerly weather window. The Cala delle Arene southern bay runs the structural leeward overnight on the calm-water window but the bracket-fit decision in the August prevailing northerly tightening reads through the western Cala dello Spido alternate or the structural return to the Gargano Vieste coast on the captain's weather call. We would pass on Cala delle Arene overnight representations on the northerly-window programme without the captain's prior weather-decision tenure.
