Your Very Own Sailing Holiday Voyage of Discovery
Sailing over shimmering waters to destinations steeped in history and natural beauty—what more could you ask for in a boating holiday? From iconic ancient landmarks to pristine white sand beaches against an azure sea, charming villages brimming with culture and unforgettable culinary experiences, the Mediterranean has it all.
With such a diverse range of travel options, the Mediterranean caters to every sailing enthusiast. While Italy, Greece, and Croatia are perennial favorites, there’s so much more to explore in the Balearic Islands, Turkey, Malta, Montenegro, and the South of France. All of these stunning destinations are featured in our comprehensive guide to Mediterranean yacht charters.
Taking the Work out of a Mediterranean Charter
With so many incredible destinations to choose from, selecting a charter boat in the Mediterranean can feel overwhelming. To ensure smooth sailing, it’s essential to work with an experienced and reputable boat operator. With over 30 years in the charter business, we’ve built a network of only the best operators—trusted partners who will provide exceptional care for you, our client. We’ll match you with the ideal yacht from a top operator, taking into account your budget, comfort preferences, and sailing experience.
Our team has spent considerable time sailing throughout the Mediterranean, personally reviewing boats and their management. This hands-on experience extends to the destinations themselves, offering us invaluable insights that we’re eager to share.
Experienced sailors will find bareboat sailing and boat handling straightforward in the Mediterranean. For those who prefer extra relaxation, adding a skipper is always an option. The skipper assumes responsibility for the boat and ensures you reach your desired destinations safely and on time.
Alternatively, you can opt for a fully-crewed yacht, complete with both a cook and skipper for the ultimate relaxation experience. Even seasoned sailors often choose a crew, which we select carefully in consultation with our operators. Your crew will handle all the details while also serving as local guides, sharing recommendations for must-see spots and activities along the way. They’ll help you immerse yourself in the culture and lifestyle of the places you visit.
When you enlist our help to organize your Mediterranean sailing charter (or one anywhere else), our services come at no extra cost to you.
