Where to go for a 4-day yacht charter

Charter grounds whose season suits these dates. Ordered by how well the window fits, not by how many yachts we hold there.

Why these charter grounds suit the dates

France

May is the Riviera's marquee month – the Cannes Film Festival and Monaco Grand Prix back to back – while June and September offer the same coastline with quieter anchorages.

Italy

June and September are the connoisseur's months on the Amalfi Coast and in Sardinia – warm seas, open berths and the coast at its most relaxed.

Spain

The Balearics run on gentle thermal breezes – Mallorca and Menorca for coves and calm, Ibiza and Formentera for the season's social calendar.

Croatia

Expect glassy mornings and a reliable afternoon maestral – ideal rhythm for island-hopping the Dalmatian coast between Split and Dubrovnik.

Ecuador

The Galápagos cruise year-round; the warm season's calm seas bring the gentlest crossings between Darwin's islands.

Egypt

Red Sea reefs of world renown – Ras Mohammed's walls and the Giftun islands – with dependable sunshine nearly all year.
