Where to go for a 5-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

Greece

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

Turkey

The Turquoise Coast enjoys one of the Mediterranean's longest seasons, with sheltered gulfs around Göcek and Bodrum that stay calm even in high summer.

Spain

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

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.

Malta

Compact cruising at its best – Grand Harbour's baroque skyline, Comino's Blue Lagoon and Gozo's coves all sit within a single day's sail.
