Yacht Charter FAQs

What are your favourite Mediterranean sailing spots?

When it comes to sailing in the Mediterranean, we're totally sold! As seasoned sailors, we’ve spent years exploring these stunning coastlines, and a few favourite spots keep calling us back.

Greece is always at the top of the list. There’s something magical about dropping anchor in a quiet Ionian bay or tying up on a bustling quay in the Cyclades, ouzo in hand. Then there’s Croatia—an absolute gem with its walled cities, crystal-clear waters, and island-hopping routes that never get old.

Italy? Where do we start? From Sicily to Sardinia to the Amalfi Coast, the sailing is as delicious as the food. The Balearic Islands are another go-to for their blend of Mediterranean charm and superb anchorages. 

We also love the glittering coastlines of the South of France and Corsica. Every destination has its own flavour, and we’ve explored them all—personally, thoroughly, and with a deep appreciation for what makes each one unique.

These aren’t just places on a map for us—they’re chapters in our sailing story, and we can’t wait to help write yours.
