Sardinia

Discreet superyacht country — granite coves, Tyrrhenian blue, and the quiet end of Mediterranean glamour.

Short Description

Sardinia is where the Mediterranean’s most private yacht owners come to disappear. Granite headlands, water the colour of swimming-pool tiles, and a string of anchorages — La Maddalena, Cala di Volpe, Spiaggia Rosa — that have stayed coveted for half a century.

Cruise the Costa Smeralda from Porto Cervo to Capo Ferro, anchor in the turquoise shallows of the Maddalena archipelago, or cross the Bonifacio Strait into Corsica before lunch. By day, it’s empty calas and Tyrrhenian blue. By night, it’s Phi Beach, Pevero, and a long table on deck.

This is the Mediterranean at its most quietly confident.

Why charter here

  • Cruise the Costa Smeralda from Porto Cervo to Capo Ferro
  • Anchor in La Maddalena, Spargi and Caprera for empty turquoise water
  • Cross the Bonifacio Strait to Corsica’s Lavezzi islands in a morning
  • Phi Beach, Pevero and Cala di Volpe for the evenings
  • Porto Cervo — the most discreet superyacht harbour in the Med
  • Home to the Costa Smeralda Yacht Club and the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta

Best Yachts for charters in French Riviera

Sardinia is the working summer playground of the global superyacht fleet. The calibre of inventory here is among the highest in the Mediterranean — from 30 m motoryachts running day charters out of Porto Cervo to 60 m+ vessels based for the season around the Costa Smeralda. Our Marbella team is an hour’s flight away — closer than most brokers ever get to the boat you’re actually on.

Most charters begin in Olbia and run a week along the Costa Smeralda and through the La Maddalena archipelago, with the option to cross the Bonifacio Strait into Corsica’s Lavezzi islands or push south down the wilder west coast toward Alghero and the Sinis Peninsula. Onboard: full water-toy specs, certified Mediterranean crew, and provisioning sourced from the island itself. We bring our own programme too — Marina Yachts own-label Champagne and wines, wagyu pastrami hand-cut to order, the cheese board you’d actually plan a dinner around.

Whether it’s a quiet family week around the Maddalenas, a regatta-week base in Porto Cervo, or a ten-day run that takes in Corsica, Sardinia delivers privacy, scale, and the best stretch of coastline in the western Mediterranean.

Amalfi Coast & South Italy

Capri, Positano, Ischia — and the calmer islands most yachts never reach.

Short Description

The Amalfi Coast is the Mediterranean’s most photographed coastline for a reason. Cliffside villages, lemon groves, the Faraglioni rising from Capri’s water, and a string of harbour-towns — Positano, Amalfi, Ravello — that have hosted yacht owners for sixty years. South of it: Procida, Ischia, the Aeolian volcanoes, and the wilder Calabrian coast for those who want the same sea without the crowd.

Cruise from Naples to Capri for breakfast, anchor off the Faraglioni, pivot east to Positano for dinner. Day two: Amalfi and Ravello. Day three: south to Ischia or further to the Aeolians and Stromboli’s after-dark eruption. By day, it’s the Bay of Naples in pastel. By night, it’s a long table at La Fontelina or Le Sirenuse.

This is Italy at its most cinematic.

Why charter here

  • Anchor off Capri’s Faraglioni for the morning
  • Lunch at La Fontelina, dinner in Positano
  • Run south through Ischia, Procida and the Aeolian Islands
  • Stromboli’s evening eruption from a quiet anchorage
  • Naples airport is 30 minutes from the embarkation pontoon
  • The most concentrated stretch of Michelin-starred restaurants in the Med
  •  

Best yachts for charter in Amalfi & South Italy

The Amalfi and South Italy fleet is among the most sought-after in the Mediterranean and the calibre matches — 163 yachts ranging from 35 m motoryachts running the classic Capri–Positano–Amalfi corridor to 60 m+ vessels based for the season. Demand spikes hard in late July and August (book earlier than feels reasonable); shoulder weeks in June and September are the sweet spot for guests who want the same coastline without the boat traffic.

Most charters embark in Naples or Salerno and run a week along the Amalfi Coast and into the Bay of Naples — Capri, Procida, Ischia — with options to push south into the Aeolians (Stromboli, Lipari, Panarea) or north toward Ponza. Onboard: certified Italian crew, water-toy specs to match anything else in the Med, and provisioning that does justice to the cuisine. We bring our own programme too — Marina Yachts own-label wines and Champagne, wagyu pastrami, a cheese board built around the regional pecorinos and burrata.

Whether it’s a four-day run between the headline towns or a two-week south-of-Naples cruise that takes in the Aeolians and Sicily, the Amalfi Coast delivers the best of Italian coastline at a yacht’s pace.

  • Bay of Naples and Amalfi week-long charters

Bahamas

Seven hundred islands, water you can see your shadow in, and the easiest world-class charter in the Atlantic.

Short Description

The Bahamas is the most reliable Caribbean charter in the Atlantic — 700 islands across 100,000 square miles of shallow turquoise water, an hour’s flight from Miami, and a charter season that runs almost year-round. The Exumas, the Abacos, Eleuthera, Harbour Island. Empty cays, blue holes, swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, pink sand at Pink Sands Beach. Cruise the Exuma chain from Nassau to Highbourne Cay, dive Thunderball Grotto from a tender, anchor for the night off Compass Cay where the resident nurse sharks come to the dock at dusk. Day two: north to Norman’s Cay for the wreck swim, lunch at Staniel Cay Yacht Club. Day three: the swimming pigs at Big Major. By day, it’s electric blue and empty horizons. By night, it’s Fish Fry at Arawak Cay, conch fritters and the slowest sundown in the Atlantic. This is the Caribbean at its most effortless.

Why charter here

  • Cruise the Exuma chain from Nassau to the Iguana Cays
  • Swim with the pigs at Big Major and the sharks at Compass
  • Anchor at Norman’s Cay for the wreck dive
  • Eleuthera, Harbour Island and Spanish Wells for old-Bahamas charm
  • Year-round season — December to April is peak, summer is hurricane shoulder
  • Easy onward from Miami (45 minutes by air to Nassau)

Best yachts for charter in Bahamas

The Bahamian fleet is calibrated for shallow-water cruising and the calibre is high — 140 yachts ranging from 35 m motoryachts running the Exuma chain to 60 m+ explorer vessels equipped for longer Atlantic runs. The shallow draft of the Bahamian banks means hull form matters; a knowledgeable broker steers you toward boats built for the geography rather than against it.

Most charters embark in Nassau (45 minutes from Miami) and run a week through the Exumas, with options to push north to the Abacos, east to Eleuthera, or south to the Iguana Cays. Onboard: full water-toy specs (Bahamian charter clients want the toys — Seabobs, jet skis, fishing kit, dive compressors), shallow-draft tenders, and crew with local knowledge of the cuts and channels. We bring our own programme too — Marina Yachts own-label wines and Champagne, wagyu pastrami, the cheese board you’d actually plan a dinner around — alongside provisioning sourced through Nassau and Florida.

Whether it’s a family week through the Exumas, a longer Caribbean transit via the Abacos, or a winter base in Nassau for clients flying in from New York, the Bahamas delivers the most reliable charter geography in the Atlantic.

  • Abacos and Eleuthera extensions

British Virgin Islands

Sixty islands inside an hour's cruise of each other. The classic Caribbean charter for fifty years and counting.

Short Description

The British Virgin Islands is the Caribbean charter every other Caribbean charter is measured against. Sixty islands and cays packed into a 50-mile arc, calm water inside the chain, and a culture of beach bars and bareboat heritage that turns every week into the same sun-soaked rhythm. The Baths at Virgin Gorda. The Bitter End and Saba Rock at North Sound. Foxy’s at Jost Van Dyke. The Soggy Dollar Bar at White Bay. Anegada’s lobster lunch. Cruise from Tortola through The Bight at Norman Island, lunch at Pirates Bight, anchor for the night at Cooper Island. Day two: The Baths and Virgin Gorda’s North Sound. Day three: Anegada and the lobster shacks. Day four: Jost Van Dyke. Day five: back to Tortola. By day, it’s empty horseshoe bays and the steadiest trade wind in the Caribbean. By night, it’s a steel band at Foxy’s and the kind of sundown that makes guests book the same charter again next year. This is the Caribbean at its most classic.

Why charter here

  • Anchor in The Bight at Norman Island for lunch at Pirates Bight
  • Walk The Baths at Virgin Gorda before the day-trippers
  • Saba Rock, the Bitter End, and the new North Sound buildout
  • Lobster lunch on the beach at Anegada
  • Foxy’s, Soggy Dollar, and the rest of Jost Van Dyke’s beach bars
  • Sixty islands inside an hour’s cruise of each other

Best yachts for charter in the BVI

The BVI fleet is geared for short hops and trade-wind sailing — 116 yachts including a deep bench of catamarans, sailing yachts and 35–50 m motoryachts that thread the chain comfortably. The calmer water inside the islands makes this the most family-friendly Caribbean charter of all, and the inventory reflects that: bigger swim platforms, more guest capacity per length, water toys configured for kids as much as for adults.

Most charters embark in Tortola (Road Town) — direct ferry from St Thomas (USVI) or short flights from San Juan — and run a week through the chain, with optional extensions to the USVI or the south-east Caribbean (St Maarten, Antigua). Onboard: full water-toy specs, captains who know every mooring field by name, and provisioning sourced through Tortola and St Thomas. We bring the Marina Yachts programme too — own-label wine and Champagne, wagyu pastrami, the cheese board you’d actually plan a dinner around — alongside the Caribbean stalwarts (painkillers at the Soggy Dollar, the Anegada lobster).

Whether it’s a family week with kids, a multi-generation reunion charter, or a longer Caribbean transit through the Leewards, the BVI is where the Caribbean charter starts.

Phuket & Andaman Sea

Limestone karsts rising out of dead-flat water — and the most theatrical charter geography in Asia.

Short Description

The Andaman Sea, in season, is the most photogenic stretch of charter water in Asia — limestone karsts rising vertically out of glass-flat water, hidden lagoons reachable only by tender, and a chain of islands that runs from Phuket south to the Mergui archipelago in Burmese waters. Phi Phi, the Similans, Phang Nga Bay, Krabi, Hong Island. The country runs on the rhythm of the trip. Cruise from Phuket north into Phang Nga Bay for the karst cathedrals, into James Bond Island for the photograph that won’t quit. Day two: south to Phi Phi for snorkelling at Maya Bay (capacity-managed — book the slot). Day three: the Similans for dive water that competes with the Maldives. By day, it’s lagoon temperatures and the sound of long-tail engines in the distance. By night, it’s a candlelit deck at anchor and a Thai chef who doesn’t pull punches. This is Asia at its most sculptural.

Why charter here

  • Cruise Phang Nga Bay’s limestone cathedrals
  • Anchor at Maya Bay (Phi Phi Leh) — capacity-managed, advance slot booking
  • Dive the Similans for visibility that rivals the Maldives
  • Hong Island’s hidden lagoon by tender
  • Calm season runs Nov–Apr — easy logistics from Phuket airport
  • Onward extensions to the Mergui archipelago (Burma) for true wilderness charter

Best yachts for charter in Phuket & Andaman Sea

The Andaman charter market is smaller than the Mediterranean or Caribbean but the calibre is high — predominantly 40 m+ explorer-style motoryachts and sailing catamarans suited to longer, multi-week itineraries. Many of the season’s best yachts repositioning here arrive from a Mediterranean summer and return for the next; advance booking matters more than in higher-volume markets.

Most charters embark in Phuket (Ao Po or Yacht Haven) and run a week through Phang Nga Bay and the Phi Phi group, with longer charters pushing south to the Similans, Surin Islands, or across into Burmese waters for the Mergui — wilderness charter at its most genuine. Onboard: full water-toy specs (the Andaman is a kite, dive and tender geography), Asia-Pacific crew, and provisioning sourced through Phuket and Singapore. We bring the Marina Yachts programme too — own-label wines and Champagne, wagyu pastrami, the cheese board — alongside Thai catering done at the level the boats deserve.

Whether it’s a family week through Phang Nga Bay, a diving-led Similans cruise, or a two-week Mergui expedition, the Andaman Sea is the most cinematic yacht charter in Asia.

  • Similan and Surin diving extensions

Maldives

Twenty-six atolls, a thousand reefs, and the only charter ground where every anchorage is its own island.

Short Description

The Maldives is unlike any other yachting destination in the world. Twenty-six atolls strung along a 540-mile spine of the Indian Ocean. Water visibility that runs to thirty metres on the right day. A pace that’s set by the tide and the manta migration. And a private-yacht experience that turns the resort model on its head — instead of moving from one fixed island to the next, you take the island with you.

Cruise from Malé north through North Male Atoll, dive the Manta Point at Lankan, anchor for the evening off an empty stretch of Baa Atoll. Day two: drift-dive the Hanifaru Bay manta aggregation in season. Day three: surf the breaks at Pasta Point or Sultan’s. Day four: south to Ari Atoll’s whale shark waters. By day, it’s electric blue water and the sound of nothing. By night, it’s a private chef on deck and the brightest stars on a charter route anywhere.

This is the Indian Ocean at its most untouchable.

Why charter here

  • Drift-dive Hanifaru Bay’s manta aggregation (Jun–Nov)
  • Whale sharks at Ari Atoll (year-round; peak Aug–Nov)
  • Surf the breaks at Pasta Point, Sultan’s, Coke’s
  • Each anchorage is a private island reef
  • Yacht-as-floating-villa: take the island with you
  • Year-round season — the inter-monsoon shift is the only complication

Best yachts for charter in the Maldives

The Maldives charter fleet is purpose-built for the geography — predominantly 40 m+ explorer motoryachts and dive-equipped vessels with full diving infrastructure (compressors, certified dive crew, dedicated dive tender). Length of stay matters: most charters here run two weeks rather than one, because the geography rewards distance and the journeys between atolls are part of the experience. Most charters embark in Malé and run a circuit through North Male, Baa, and South Ari Atolls, with options to extend south to Vaavu and Meemu for whale sharks, north to Lhaviyani for surf, or all the way south to the equator-crossing atolls for true blue-water remoteness. Onboard: dive infrastructure as standard, water-toy specs that lean into the geography (Seabobs, e-foils, kite kit, fishing tender), and Indian Ocean crew who know the channels and tides. We bring the Marina Yachts programme too — own-label wines and Champagne, wagyu pastrami, the cheese board — alongside Maldivian-sourced fish and Indian Ocean catering at the standard the destination earns. Whether it’s a manta-led cruise through Baa Atoll, a surf trip to the central atolls, or a two-week explorer charter all the way south to the equator, the Maldives is the most distinctive yacht charter in the Indian Ocean.
