Yacht Charter Vacations - BVI, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Worldwide

U.S. and British Virgin Islands... our most popular yacht vacation destination and the #1 choice for first timers

A sailing paradise! A bounty of unspoiled islands and cays surrounded by azure seas and blessed with gentle tropical breezes, sun drenched beaches, secluded coves, and exquisite natural beauty. Although many people have visited St. Thomas, few have experienced the "real Virgins" - those off-the-beaten track places that you can only get to by yacht.

This sailing area stretches only about 35 miles from end to end, and the islands are close together. We sail for 2-3 hours at a time in calm, sheltered waters, always within sight of land. It's the perfect choice for someone who is embarking on their first yachting getaway.

You can fly into either St. Thomas or Tortola or if you are staying at a shoreside island resort, your yacht can pick you up right on your doorstep! Getting to the BVI

The Leeward Islands of St. Barths, St. Maarten, Anguilla and Antigua

An exciting itinerary that it offers a blend of cultures, lifestyles, and landscapes. You'll experience the French flavor of St. Barth's and St. Martin, the Dutch influence on St. Maarten, and the British background of Anguilla. One day, you can peruse the chic boutiques in Gustavia with the fragrance of frangipani in the air, and the next day, you're accompanied by cows and chickens as you wander the dirt roads of Anguilla.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines

A necklace of enchanting islands that strings from Martinique in the north to Grenada in the south and includes St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and the Grenadines. The most popular cruising area is the Grenadines where life unfolds at a snail's pace and one long, lazy funfilled day blends into another. The larger islands are stunning with lush, green hillsides jutting 3,000 feet into the sky. Some of the smaller islands are no more than spits of sand held captive by a coral reef. This destination is for those who want to get away from it all and do not need lots of shoreside entertainment or shopping. Back to top

It's Better in The Bahamas!

These islands offer many cruising choices – we recommend the Exuma Cays located about 50 miles south and east of Nassau. They are a necklace of small off-the-beaten track islands that stretch over a distance of 90 miles. The sparkling waters are among the most beautiful in the world, shimmering a rainbow of aqua, teal, emerald and sapphire. Beneath the surface lies a kaleidoscope of coral reef teeming with fish. The sport fishing is world class, and the beaches are pristine and inviting. The best time to cruise The Bahamas is Spring and Summer. The new Four Seasons Resort is located on Great Exuma… a great land and sea option. Back to top

New England - Lobstas and Lighthouses

Lighthouses, lobsters, quaint fishing villages, historic seaports, strawberry festivals, and Yankee charm fill the long, lazy days of southern New England in the summer. Newport, Rhode Island, Cape Cod and the Islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard off the Massachusetts are abundant with seafaring spirit, unique and enriching tourist attractions, and exquisite coastal beauty. The best way to sample it all is aboard the deck of your own private yacht where you can be in the heart of the attractions in the morning and anchored off a deserted beach in the late afternoon, perhaps “gunkholing” through the salt marshes in a kayak, exploring a tidal pool, or fishing for the catch of the day. Itineraries also available in Downeast Maine. Back to top

Western Mediterranean - Spain, France and Italy

Taste the lifestyle of the rich and famous along the Cote D’Azur and its dazzling ports of call–Monte Carlo, St. Tropez, Cannes, Antibes and Nice complemented by quaint old cities like Villefranche. Or cast off to Corsica and the Costa Esmeralda (Emerald Coast) of Sardinia with its idyllic beaches and stunning resorts made famous by Aga Khan. Ports include Porto Cervo, the Maddalena Islands, and Bonifacio. A unique blend of glitz and glamour with crystal Caribbean-like waters and wild, rugged natural beauty. Could be combined with a few nights in Rome. Back to top

Greece

Cruising the Greek islands is on everyone’s dream vacation list. Nearly 300 islands are scattered across the Aegean and Ionian seas ... each one teeming with history, enchanting mythology, romance, shining faces and welcoming arms. You have not discovered the true meaning of hospitality until you’ve succumbed to the charm of the Greek people.

The Cyclades chain of islands, close to Athens, is a great itinerary choice for first-time visitors to the Greek Islands. Spend a few days in Athens, doing the “must sees” - the Acropolis, the Plaka, the markets, the nightclubs. Then cast off on your own private yacht. Savor the lively beat of Mykonos and Santorini; soak in the serenity of ancient Delos, the birthplace of Apollo; kick back in Kea and Kythnos, sipping retsina with the locals. Other itinerary choices include the Dodecanese Islands off the coast of Turkey, the Sporades, the Ionian Sea and more. The days are long and warm and dappled with sunshine - the best time to sail here is from May to October. September is our personal favorite. Back to top

Turkey

Rich in antiquity and ripe with natural beauty, the Turquoise coast of Turkey is an exceptional destination. Ply ancient trade routes, snorkel over Cleopatra’s Baths, bargain for carpets at the bazaar, hike to Lycian tombs, lather up in mud baths, dine in a medieval castle, take a Turkish Bath, visit ancient cities from 700 BC, and learn to belly dance. A great getaway in combination with Istanbul. Many people are nervous about traveling to Turkey - we have found the people to be so welcoming, and the food is as fresh and aromatic as it gets. We recommend flying to Istanbul to savor its historical treasures; then take a short flight to Dalaman near the coast where you can board your yacht in the market city of Marmaris. Like Greece, May to September is the time to cruise here. Back to top

Croatia

Croatia and its 1,000 islands is the newest of our Mediterranean yacht charter destinations. The rugged coastline of Croatia borders the eastern edge of the Adriatic Sea and is known for its sun-soaked days, crystal clear waters, unspoiled and abundant harbors, wild natural beauty, and charming medieval cities that are brimming with old world charm and history. A 10-day itinerary here is wonderful. You can fly into Split and board your yacht in Trogir and leisurely island hop down the coast ending in Dubrovnik. One day you're in an ancient city sizzling with art, fine architecture, and throbbing nightlife and the next day, you're swimming in a secluded cove with nary another human being in sight.

Galapagos

Located 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos are a group of 13 major islands and dozens of volcanic islets and rocks. They are home to the rarest species of wildlife on earth and are a protected national park and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The islands first became known to the world through Darwin’s "On the Origin of the Species by Natural Selection" in 1859. His research in the Galapagos produced a revolution in human thought that is current today. The Galapagos are a living laboratory of evolution where animals have no fear of man. Nearly all of the reptiles and half of the plant and bird life can be found nowhere else in the world!

Some of the wildlife includes giant tortoises, land iguanas, penguins, seals, whales, sea lions, dolphins, pink flamingos, blue footed boobies, waved albatrosses, and a captivating array of birds and flora. Back to top

Other worldwide charter locations include Alaska, New Zealand, Australia, South Pacific, and Southeast Asia - Thailand, Bali, and Myanmar. Back to top
