Where to go for a 6-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

Indonesia

The dry southeast monsoon opens Komodo's dragon-guarded passes and pink beaches; Raja Ampat takes over when the season turns.

Japan

The Seto Inland Sea threads between art islands and thousand-year shrines – spring blossom and autumn light are the insider seasons.

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.
