Luxury Sailing Destinations

With stunning golden sandy beaches, lovely crystal clear waters, lively nightlife and fantastic Spanish cuisine, these islands have been popular with land-based travellers for many years. A yacht charter in the Balearics allows sailors to dip in and out of bays and harbours at their leisure, not just seeing more of one island, but providing the opportunity to visit multiple islands on one holiday. Even on a one week holiday you could visit Majorca, Menorca and Cabrera comfortably. Alternatively, take it easy and meander from bay to bay, anchoring off one of the many golden beaches by day and at night mooring in a quiet village or lively hotspot

Sailing from Athens, the Saronic Islands are most balanced sailing area in Greece, with a perfect mix of lovely sailing winds, quiet bays, lively villages, friendly tavernas and great value. The Saronic Islands, which includes the Argolic and Saronic Gulf, is an interesting, diverse and authentically Greek area for all sailors, including families, older and younger groups and couples. Athens is an interesting launch pad with a wide range of quality boats and catamarans.

The only way to improve the Amalfi experience is to do it by boat. Escape the crowds and have the 'best view in the house' from the back of your very own private yacht

The southerly Dalmatian Islands off a perfect cross-section of Croatia. Sailing from Split and Dubrovnik, they offer a more cosmopolitan experience, with larger islands supporting larger villages and towns. It's not all party time though, there are still many quiet bays, small villages and destinations 'off the beaten track'. Overall, expect a heady mix of excellent balanced sailing conditions, lively cosmopolitan islands, quiet bays and old-world fortress towns.

A destination with a split personality; flash and brash in places, demure and idyllic in others. The Costa Smeralda ('Emerald Coast') on the northeastern coast of Sardinia is a stunning location with golden sandy beaches, national parks & big budgets.
