Explore private, pristine beaches like a castaway. Stop in a turquoise lagoon or flamingo cove that inspires you. Make your way towards a castle atop a sea cliff or visit a historic lighthouse you have spotted from the waters. Ask the locals where to find the best cuisine. Speed it up or take your time. A private yacht charter is all about creating the customized vacation you desire most. Perhaps you have gone on tours, cruise ships and all-inclusive vacations before. Now it is time to luxuriate in the ultimate experience; a sailing vacation aboard your own private yacht!

A Mediterranean private yacht charter vacation can take you to Greece, Croatia, Turkey, Spain, France and Italy. These destinations are culturally rich with beautiful beaches, historic architecture and savory regional cuisine. Generally, travelers will come during the summer months of July and August when the days are warm and sunny and the breezes are light, although the weather is still seasonal from April to October, and the crowds are thinner. Charter boats traveling to the Mediterranean include power boats, luxury yachts, catamaran, sailboats and the bareboat charter.

For those chilly winter months, why not take a private yacht charter to the warm Caribbean waters? Travelers come to the Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, the Florida Keys and the Bahamas for the white sandy beaches, the pleasant trade winds, turquoise waters, West Indian cuisine and fun activities year-round. There are more than 100 Virgin Islands, offering a plethora of coves for snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving, surfing, marine-life watching and lounging.

On the shores, you will enjoy dancing, frozen blender drinks, crafts from local artisans and the dramatic mountain peak topography. In the Bahamas, you can feast on spicy cuisine, fish on beautiful beaches, snorkel underwater grottos, gaze upon a habitat of 60,000 flamingos, star gaze the midnight skies, dance in nightclubs and splash around at the world-renowned Atlantis water-park and culture center. A sailing charter in the Cayman Islands will whisk you away to the famous Seven Mile Beach (one of the best in the world!), the historic Pedro St. James castle, scuba diving shipwrecks in Cayman Brac, bird watching the rare red-footed Booby on Little Cayman and partaking in the museums and shops of George Town. Nothing beats the winter blues like a Caribbean yacht excursion!

Back home, the North Atlantic has many private yacht charter destinations to discover as well. Cape Cod showcases some of our oldest history, dating back to the 1600s and remains a scenic fishing harbor. Martha’s Vineyard, the playground of the rich and famous, naturally offers amazing luxury yacht charters taking you to sandy dunes, seaside mansions and beach horseback riding adventures. Nantucket Island is one of those rare places where modern civilization has been completely shunned in favor of romantic untouched beaches, cranberry bogs, local restaurants, one-of-a-kind shops and whale watching. Rhode Island’s Block Island has been deemed “one of the last great places in the Western Hemisphere” by the Nature Conservancy. Fresh water ponds, historic lighthouses, twenty miles of nature trails, horseback riding, windsurfing, kayaking, fishing and biking are just some of the activities that await you on this sailing yacht charter.
