Your Very Own Sailing Holiday Voyage of Discovery

Sailing over shimmering waters to destinations rich in history and natural beauty: what more could anyone want in a boating holiday? Famous sites from antiquity, white sand beaches painted on an azure ocean, quaint villages overflowing with cultural flavors, and culinary delights you will hunger for.

With its huge diversity of travel experiences, the Mediterranean has something to offer everyone who likes to go sailing. Italy, Greece and Croatia are the most popular cruising destinations, while there's much to enjoy about sailing in the Balearic Islands, Turkey and the South of France. All are covered in our comprehensive guide to Mediterranean yacht charters.

Taking the Work out of a Mediterranean Charter 

With all the great destinations on offer, choosing a charter boat in the Mediterranean can be complicated, even confusing. For smooth sailing, it is essential that you sail with an experienced and reputable boat operating company. During more than 20 years in the charter business, we have developed a network of only the best operators - people who we know can be relied on to take care of you, our client. We will match the right yacht from the best operator to your budget, comfort requirements and boat-handling experience.

Our team members have spent a lot of time sailing in the Mediterranean, checking out the boats on offer and the way they are managed. And of course that gives us first-hand experience of the destinations too, valuable knowldge that we want to share. 

In the Mediterranean, the suitably-able sailor finds bareboat sailing and boat handling quite straightforward. For extra leisure time, there's always the option of adding a skipper, who takes responsibility for the boat and getting you to where you want to go. 

Alternatively, charter fully-crewed, engaging a cook as well as skipper for the ulitimate in relaxation. Even experienced sailors often prefer to hire a crew, which we carefully select in consultation with our operators. Your hired crew not only take care of all the work, but are also willing local guides. They'll recommend the best places to see and best things to do en route, and get you up close to the culture and lifestyles in the places you will visit.

When enlisting our help to organise your charter in the Mediterranean -or anywhere else - you pay no more for our service.

No wonder the Mediterranean region is a popular destination amongst travellers, as its natural features, wonderful beaches, the boat trips offered and the climate make the area a very pleasant one. This article lists all the important information that is worth noting for anyone who would like to visit the region.

Facts about the Mediterranean

The Mediterranean Sea is surrounded by three continents: Europe from the North, Asia from the East and Africa from the South. It might be a surprising fact that its territory is nearly 2, 520, 000 km2, and the length of its coastline is close to 46, 000 kilometers .

Countries of the Mediterranean region:

Spain, France, Italy, Malta, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus

Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel (and the Gaza Strip)

Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco

Larger islands of the Mediterranean:

Cyprus, Rhodes, Lesbos, Crete, the Maltese Islands, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Menorca, Mallorca, Ibiza. There are several great countries and islands located in the Mediterranean region. If we are planning on renting a boat, there are numerous spots to discover while we can spend plenty of time on the Mediterranean Sea. A wide variety of options are available, and we might want to get informed about all the different opportunities in advance; making a round trip on a yacht we own might be the most exciting activity.

Geographical features of the Mediterranean

We are dealing with a versatile but contrasting area with dozens of sights that are worth visiting from a geographical point of view. High mountains, rocky shores, waterfalls, forests, and a desert – all the treasures nature has to offer. We can cruise through the shores of several countries on well-organized trips. The area has many ports, the list of which can be found above our information section, under the Mediterranean maps tab.

The climate of the Mediterranean

The region has a Mediterranean climate . Winters are usually mild, but a certain amount of precipitation may be expected during this period. Summers are hot and dry. The mean annual temperature is around 14°C, but even in the coldest months, the temperature never drops below 0°C. During such periods the average temperature is 4°C. This is the reason why the region is a perfect destination during all seasons. We should seek information on the weather of the chosen countries in order to have a smooth holiday.

The gastronomy of the Mediterranean

The Mediterranean region’s sailing paradise has especially diverse gastronomy. You can just rent a boat and start exploring the Adriatic while enjoying culinary adventures at the same time. Besides sailing, swimming and cultural programs, food is also very important. Seafood is popular, but the fact that the Croatians and the Greeks love meat and the Italians are passionate about pasta and delicious wines makes the region even more ideal for lunch or dinner. Visit as many countries as you can, and dive into the local gastronomy.

Traveling in the Mediterranean

As there are several countries and shores located along the Mediterranean Sea, we can choose from various opportunities to reach our destination. Browsing through the flights offered by the different airlines, we may get very cheap tickets if we book on time. We can consider going by car or taking a train between two countries; however, the greatest experience is exploring by renting a boat. This way the travel itself becomes an experience of a lifetime, and we will be able to see places that we couldn’t discover any other way.

Bareboat yacht charter in the Mediterranean – the main seasons

It is a great experience to take our boat out in the Mediterranean region; the sailing season is very long thanks to the mild weather. We will give you a brief overview of the seasons different characteristics and the spots that you should definitely visit. In our article, we will provide you with more details below.

In the autumn

If you do not insist on visiting in the hottest period, the autumn season is perfect for exploring the Mediterranean region as there are no large crowds and the temperatures are also milder. You should still be careful, as the weather often becomes unpredictable in the spring and autumn, combined with strong winds from time to time. During this time, it is safer to stay close to the marinas.

In the winter

In the winter, it is recommended to monitor the weather forecast due to the variable conditions and frequent storms. In this season, the most popular Spanish cities are Valencia, Barcelona and Cartagena. The latter is a perfect starting point when exploring the Balearic Islands, France and Corsica. Licata and Marina di Ragusa are two very popular destinations on the largest island of the Mediterranean Sea: Sicily. Read more about Sicily sailing , and Spain sailing .

In the Spring

The region of the Mediterranean Sea is beautiful in the autumn, and it is also very peaceful around here during this time. In this period, we suggest that you head towards Croatia, Greece, Sicily, Sardinia or the Balearic Islands. In Greece, we particularly recommend visiting Lefkada – belonging to the Ionian Islands – in the west. The town of Préveza in the southwest and the famous island of Crete are also excellent choices. Read more about Croatia sailing , Greece sailing , and sailing in Sardinia .

In the summer

When summer is approaching, many people sail on the Mediterranean Sea; the busiest months are July and August. Sardinia is among the most popular sailing destinations; the northern and northeastern parts are rich in anchorages, even though they can still get full in the summer. There is a strong summer wind present on the island, so it is recommended to sail counter-clockwise. Would you prefer to avoid large crowds? Spain and France, as well as the southern part of Sardinia, Tunisia, the northern part of the Aegean Sea, and the Peloponnese, are all considered quiet regions.
