Where to go for a 7-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

Spain

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

Egypt

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

Alaska

Midnight sun over the Inside Passage – calving glaciers, breaching humpbacks and anchorages measured against mountains, not marinas.

Australia

The Whitsundays' dry-season window means stinger-free swimming, Whitehaven's silica sands and the Great Barrier Reef on the doorstep.

Bermuda

A mid-Atlantic outlier on a Mediterranean rhythm – summer is the season here, with pink-sand beaches and America's Cup sailing pedigree.

Croatia

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