The Mediterranean is one of the world’s most sophisticated cruising areas and certainly a magnet for those with the means to enjoy its considerable charms. Enjoy the warmth of the local villages and the breathtaking vistas of the hundreds of islands that are unique within the Mediterranean. Naturally, the Mediterranean offers a fabulous variety of stunning locations and cultures: the chic ports of the French and Italian Riviera; the privacy and seclusion of the Balearics; or the ancient sites in Greece or Turkey.
Greece
Greece caters for all tastes with its 10,000 miles of coastline and more than 4,000 islands. It is a country of white – washed houses, colourful fishing village’s crystal clear waters, sandy beaches, waterside taverns and a cultural paradise offering numerous fascinating archaeological sites. Enjoy the privacy of a picturesque cove or explore the ruins of an ancient town. Indulge yourself with an al – fresco traditional Greek meal served on deck by candlelight under a star-filled sky. Drink the sparkling wine that will elevate your spirit and help you relax or tantalize your taste buds while enjoying Greek traditional cooking at one of the islands locals’ restaurant that your Captain will point out. The undisturbed anchorages and relaxed lifestyle will draw you back again and again.
Owing to Greek legislation, only Greek flagged yachts may charter in these waters, therefore the selection of yachts we are able to offer is more restricted.
Turkey
Whether you incline towards the western shores of the Aegean or the southern Turquoise Coast, a voyage through Turkish waters is an unforgettably rich experience, with the entire region a melting pot of culture and civilisation. The profusion of archaeological treasure is breathtaking and much of it can only be reached by sea. With over 8000 Kilometres of coastline Turkey is a ‘treasure chest of coves, inlets, bays and beaches.’
Croatia
Croatia blows away any preconceived ideas you may have. It is a place that surprises everybody and always exceeds expectations. For anyone used to the buzz of the Cote d’Azur, the Dalmatian Coast is a haven of tranquillity. This is where you can really relax and just enjoy being on the water. Aside from Croatia’s historical and architectural wonders, it is laden with natural beauty. With hundreds of islands providing an endless supply of coves, great anchorages, inlets and islets, where you can be sure of finding somewhere special as there are more choices and places to go. The scenery is breathtaking; turquoise seas, wooded islands, picturesque coves, against a backdrop of towering mountains on the mainland. As you travel south the scenery becomes more spectacular and there are fewer people. In contrast, Dubrovnik is the Venice of the South of Croatia with ancient pavements, terrace cafes, winding alleys and magnificent churches.
Foreign flagged yachts are not permitted to both embark and disembark charter guests within Croatia, although it is possible to do one or the other.
The Côte d’ Azur
In this short stretch of coastline, lies the most extravagant 75 miles of waterfront in the world, with more than 3,000 restaurants and 30 harbours. Beneath the hillside, the Côte d’Azur is lipped with golden beaches, dressed with glittering boutiques and an unparalleled range of restaurants and entertainment. For many the chic ambience and the idyllic landscapes of the Côte d’Azur draw them back year after year. Despite its popularity, the Riviera is remarkably unspoilt.
Amalfi Coast and Sicily
With its sparkling coastline and dramatic cliffs, the Amalfi Coast will lure you ashore with their rural landscapes, coastal villages, designer shops and irresistible cuisine.
Naples makes a dramatic beginning to any charter of the Amalfi Coast, and within the reach of its bay lies the magical islands of Capri. From here is it a short cruise to Sicily which is the land of history and high mountains, olives and opalescent waters. A spectacular charter can be had cruising the remote volcanic Aeolian and Egadi Islands off the coast of Sicily.
Corsica and Sardinia
One French-flavoured, the other unmistakable Italian. They may be studded with world class boutiques and restaurants but at the heart Corsica and Sardinia remain both so rugged and so wild that they are largely untouched by humankind and are layered with natural beauty. Both islands are littered with tranquil coves for idyllic enjoyment, and come the evening the ports and harbours provide for all tastes. |
