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

Bahamas

Winter is prime time – the Exumas' sandbars and swimming pigs in settled trade-wind weather. Hurricane season (June–November) sits outside the charter calendar.

USA

Two seasons in one country – Florida and the Keys peak through winter, while Newport and New England take over for the northern summer.

Greece

The Ionian offers calm, sheltered waters ideal for families, while the Cyclades reward experienced crews when the meltemi blows in high summer.

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.

Croatia

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

Alaska

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