Mediterranean Yacht Charter
Many cruising aficionados consider a Mediterranean Yacht Charter a favorite experience each year. Each summer, the Western Mediterranean lures some of the world’s largest, most prestigious, and glamorous yachts to the waters between C’te d’Azur in France to the Amalfi Coast in Italy. The Eastern Mediterranean has also become a popular choice Charter destination in recent years. Glorious Motor and Sailing Yachts are available in Croatia, Greece, and Turkey. Please see Itineraries.
Mediterranean Yacht Charter Season
May
Each May, the Mediterranean Yacht Charter season “officially” begins with the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix. During these events, competition soars for marina berths. Charter Yachts become home to star-studded galas and events brimming with champagne. Many people book a vacation for several weeks that include these galas. Imagine the possibility of mix and mingling with Hollywood Royalty, and then continuing in the privacy in their own Mediterranean Yacht Charter to picturesque port towns such as Villefranche, Monaco, and Portofino.
July and August
July and August are considered the most popular months for a Mediterranean yacht charter. Itineraries can include the coastal hot-spots as well as the culturally rich islands of Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily. In summer, waters have warmed up to the perfect swimming temperature, and beaches beckon to the “desired to be sun kissed” population. Each day you can enjoy snorkeling, swimming, seaside gourmet lunches accompanied with fine local wines. In the evening, imagine a cruise to the volcano Stromboli, where the colorful eruptions ablaze like nature’s fireworks. During these popular months, Charter Yachts typically have more availability in the Eastern Mediterranean.
September through early October
September and October offer a grand selection of yachts, as it marks the end of the Mediterranean Yacht Charter season. The Saronic Gulf islands just off the coast of Athens have long been a favorite Charter destination in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Dodecanese chain of Greek islands is also popular and is within easy cruising distance of southwestern Turkey, boasting beautifully preserved ruins of ancient cultures. Croatia offers a sparkling combination of natural islands, historic sites and a warm welcoming people. Some sites are within a day ‘s cruise of Venice, depending on the speed of the Charter Yacht you select.
It is easy to understand that the diversity and variety, as experienced in the natural, cultural, historical and culinary experiences available in the Mediterranean makes this region the number one choice for Mega Yacht Chartering and can be explored again and again without having the same itinerary or experience twice.
