Trading up wintery blues for summery hues might be easier than you think when you’re on a Mediterranean holiday private yacht charter. Embark on an effortless adventure in one of the most sought-after regions in the world, all from the comforts that only a luxury private yacht charter can provide. In its own right, the French Riviera is an idyllic location, but combine that with the likes of Mallorca, Corsica, Croatia and Ibiza, and you are sure to have a winter vacation like no other.

 

The best private yacht charter Mediterranean sight-seeing spots

 

Corsica

Starting in the hushed haven that is Corsica, you can explore both hilltop villages and underwater worlds. La Balagne, Pigna is probably the most well-known region for curious travellers searching for a cultural experience in Corsica. Visitors can wander narrow, cobbled alleyways and streets dotted with unique shops or opt for a more adventurous experience by diving into underwater landscapes filled with exotic fauna and flora. These underwater worlds are readily accessible if you’ve opted to charter a private yacht. Beyond the dramatic coastlines and beaches, of which there are many, you’ll also find spectacular swimming spots inland that are off the beaten track.

Croatia

Exploring all the mysterious coves and bays of Croatia has never been easier. Historic towns, remote islets and azure blue beaches are only some of the excursions to include in your mid-winter Mediterranean vacation. Venture across waters to Split, Dubrovnik and Zadar where terracotta-tiled towns promise surreal daytrips and exquisite cuisine. The Adriatic Sea boasts calm, clear waters and you’ll find a myriad of islands along the Dalmatian coast to explore from the comforts of your luxury vessel. The waters of Croatia have something for everyone and by exploring these surroundings on a luxury private yacht charter, visitors escape the crowds of the Croatian mainland.

Mallorca

Cruising around the vast 555km of coastline surrounding Mallorca ensures that you’ll experience a wide and wonderful variety of landscapes and idyllic locations to see during a private luxury yacht charter. Ragged mountains that plunge dramatically into the sea and an average of 300 sunshine days are just part of the allure that is Mallorca. Palma, the capital of the Balearic Islands, is rife with picturesque port villages like Port d'Andratx, Portocolom and Cala Figuera, each uniquely charming. As one of the largest marinas in Europe, it’s best to get acquainted with the waterfront onboard your private yacht before venturing into town to lose yourself in cobbled alleyways and hidden tapas bars, cafes and restaurants.

Ibiza 

What is a Mediterranean holiday if it doesn’t include Ibiza as a destination? Be it nightlife, glamour, shopping or sightseeing, Ibiza is sure to deliver in overflow. Luxury and nightlife have found a way to compliment and co-exist with leisurely holiday activities and ancestral tradition, all surrounded by tranquil, panoramic views. The smallest and most southerly island in the Pityusic Island Groups is of course Formentera. The island and its surrounding islets are the picture of a Mediterranean holiday. Seeing this popular location by private yacht charter does, of course, provide a lucky few with optimal, exclusive viewing privileges. First, drop anchor at Es Vedra, a tiny island that has become Ibiza’s unofficial totem as it’s the third most magnetic place on the planet. After that, make your way over to the nearby Es Torrent, Poroig to enjoy some paella and rosé. This sandy-floored restaurant is a local favourite, but has also become a secret celebrity hotspot.
