The West Mediterranean is well-established as both a yachting and sailing haven, with a coastline that ranges from the ultra-romantic hotspots like Italy’s Positano, with its lemon trees, olive groves, and chic cafes, to pure glamour destinations like Monaco, where every day brings a new glitzy party to attend.
The stunning landscape here is perfect for a crewed Mediterranean yacht charter, with dreamy archipelagos and mile after mile of golden sands. Explore mesmerising landscapes, uncover vibrant cultures and see historical and architectural wonders as you sail through Spain’s Balearic Islands and the beautiful Italian and French Riviera.
