Yacht charter in the Mediterranean

A dream destination for sea lovers

The Mediterranean is the sailing ground every other one gets measured against — not only for the ever-present sun and the translucent water, but for the sheer cultural wealth packed along its shores. In a single week you can anchor under a Venetian fortress, eat in a fishing village that has barely changed in a century, and swim in a cove no road will ever reach.

There are so many places to see that the only real difficulty is choosing. Short island hops in Greece and Croatia, long open-water legs in the Tyrrhenian, glamour on the French Riviera, dependable thermal breeze off Turkey: there is something here for every crew and every level of experience.

Greece

The number one destination for boat lovers in Europe. Greece and its countless islands are synonymous with adventure and easy living: the Cyclades for wind and whitewashed villages, the Ionian for a gentle first charter, the Dodecanese for long turquoise days. History and culture are everywhere, and the weather is about as reliable as sailing weather gets.

Turkey

The coast between Bodrum, Göcek and Fethiye is one of the best-value cruising grounds in the Mediterranean: dependable afternoon breeze, deep sheltered bays, pine forests running down to the water and ancient ruins you can anchor beneath. Gulets and catamarans are particularly at home here.

Balearic Islands

Sailing the Balearics is not just about unforgettable nights out. Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera are ringed with sheltered calas where you can drop anchor, swim off the transom and watch the sun go down. Palma is one of the great charter hubs of the western Mediterranean.

French Riviera & Corsica

Saint-Tropez, Marseille, Monaco, Corsica — it sounds like a melody already. Provence and its countless vineyards, the jet set and its restaurants, then the wild granite coast of Corsica one night sail away. The landscape is so varied you might fall in love and decide to stay.

Malta

This small archipelago in the middle of the Mediterranean is a very attractive sailing area. Its countless bays and secluded coves, and the short crossing to Gozo and Comino, are a guarantee of an unforgettable week — with Valletta's Grand Harbour as your base.
