Stuck for ideas? Here are some of my personal favourites for the perfect yacht charter:
Italy’s Amalfi Coast & The Gulf of Naples
An exercise in understated elegance - turquoise waters brushing against volcanic shores, Capri’s cliffs rising with quiet grandeur, and Vesuvius presiding like an ancient guardian. The breezes are measured, the light golden, and each harbour offers a refined blend of history and Mediterranean grace. Ask me for my top restaurant recommendation on the island of Ischia once you’ve booked your trip.
Thailand
Emerald waters meet sculpted limestone cliffs, soft breezes lead you to secluded beaches and elegant anchorages. Along the way, Thailand tempts every sense: sizzling street-side curries, fresh seafood, and fragrant herbs that linger in the air. Here, tropical warmth, refined adventure, and unforgettable flavours come together in perfect harmony.
Greece’s Ionian Islands
Perfect for laidback easy sailing. Silken, green-blue waters, lush hills fragrant with pine and citrus, and ports that radiate classic Hellenic elegance. Gentle winds lead you from Lefkada to Kefalonia, Ithaca, and beyond, where tranquil coves and graceful villages embody a serene, sun-washed sophistication.
St Lucia, St Vincent & the Grenadines
Polished, barefoot elegance. Crystal-clear waters in shades of aquamarine, cays strung like pearls across warm, transparent seas, and anchorages where the horizon feels endless. Light trade winds guide you between quiet beaches, coral gardens, and charming island settlements, creating a sense of effortless, sun-drenched sophistication unique to the Bahamian waters.
Sicily & The Aeolian Islands
These islands have a distinct, volcanic elegance, ink-blue waters meet stark black shores, vapours curl from Stromboli’s volcano at dusk, and villages of whitewashed stone rest against dramatic cliffs. Steady Mediterranean breezes move you between the refined calm of Salina, the raw beauty of Vulcano, and the quiet allure of Filicudi, creating a journey that feels both timeless and exquisite.
Brazil’s Costa Verde
Sailing Brazil’s Costa Verde offers a lush, understated grandeur - emerald mountains plunging into clear, jade waters, hidden beaches accessible only by sea, and colonial towns like Paraty glowing with quiet charm. Warm breezes guide you past forested isles and tranquil bays, where the Atlantic and the rainforest meet in a landscape that feels both exquisitely vibrant and effortlessly refined.
Athens & The Saronic Gulf
Greece’s Saronic Gulf embodies a poised, effortless charm - calm sapphire waters, sun-warmed shores, and islands where classical heritage meets gentle contemporary elegance. Light, predictable breezes carry you from Aegina to Hydra and Spetses, past quiet coves and dignified harbours that radiate a graceful, timeless Mediterranean refinement.
