Sailing in the Mediterranean is synonymous with entering a world of timeless beauty, rich culture, and magnificent coastlines. Each turn in the vast sea unveils hidden marvels - secluded Greek coves, glimmering Turkish bays, or the vibrant French Riviera. The Mediterranean's popularity as a yacht vacation destination is fueled by its desirable combination of favorable winds, safe harbors, and numerous marinas. Caution, chart reading skills, and understanding local norms and etiquette are all part of the package when you book a sailing holiday here.
With its historical significance dating back to the rise of powerful civilizations and empires, the Mediterranean's natural beauty and diverse sailing culture make each sailing journey unique and unforgettable, contributing to an ultimately rewarding Yacht Vacation Mediterranean experience.
The Mediterranean guarantees an unparalleled sailing holiday. Its temperate climate, enchanting islands, and historical ports make it a traveler’s paradise. With such an eclectic mix of cultures and sceneries, every day brings something new and exciting to explore.
The Mediterranean is easily accessible from many continents. Numerous international airports serve countries along the Mediterranean coastline. Depending on your starting point, you may also choose to reach by train, car, or even a ferry service.
The Mediterranean is teeming with sailing opportunities. The Greek islands of Cyclades and Ionian, Turkey's marvelous turquoise coast, Italy’s Amalfi coast, the iconic French Riviera, and Spain's Balearic Islands are favorite spots for sailors. Each destination offers a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural attractions, and exquisite cuisine.
The Mediterranean is a year-round sailing destination. However, the period from April to October, especially the summer months, is the high season due to warm weather and ideal sailing conditions. The off-peak spring and autumn seasons can be equally charming, with fewer tourists and favorable rates.
The Mediterranean boasts a mild climate with light to moderate winds, offering ideal sailing conditions. Summers are dry and hot, while winters are wet and mild. Wind patterns, sea currents, and temperatures vary based on specific regions.
Historical sites abound in the Mediterranean region, from ancient Roman ruins to Byzantine fortresses. Savoring local cuisines, visiting local markets, and participating in traditional festivals are great ways to explore the region's culture.
Apart from sailing, the Mediterranean offers countless activities - snorkeling in Majorca, hiking in Cinque Terre, or winetasting in Santorini. The unique local cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and stunning natural attractions add to the appeal of a Mediterranean sailing holiday.
The Mediterranean is abundant with well-equipped marinas. Some of the top options include Porto Montenegro, OneOcean Port Vell in Barcelona, Limassol Marina in Cyprus, and Marina di Portofino in Italy.
Renting a yacht in the Mediterranean can be a blissful experience with or without a skipper. A knowledgeable captain can enrich your journey by guiding you through local waters, while a bareboat charter allows you full control of your itinerary.
Chartering a crewed yacht offers a luxury service, allowing you to fully relax without having to worry about navigation or daily chores. Yet, an uncrewed option can offer a more intimate experience for adventure-seeking sailors.
Chartering a yacht in the Mediterranean requires an appropriate sailing license, providing proof of your competence in sailing. Local regulations and requirements may vary by country and size of the yacht, hence it is advised to confirm in advance.
Pack light for your Mediterranean sailing holiday. Carry versatile clothing including swimwear, sunscreen, wet weather gear, soft-soled shoes, and sufficient safety equipment like lifejackets. Don’t forget entertainment options like books, board games, or snorkeling gear for downtime.

Her sene tekne kiraladığım için epey araştırma yapıyorum. Teknenin yorumlarından birinde servisten şikayet olduğu için endişelendim. Hem viravira'yla hem kaptanla arayıp konuştum, tekneyi çok beğenmiştim ama yorum huzursuz etmişti. Kaptan beni o şikayet edilen seferle ilgili bilgilendirdi ve güvence verdi. Vira vira da memnuniyet puanı çok yüksek bir tekne olduğuna garanti verince Enjoy Life'ı seçtik. Harika bir tekne, tertemiz, ferah, kanodan oltaya, paddle board'a eğlenceli ekipmanları da var. Mürettebat da çok saygılı, işini iyi yapan, harika insanlardı. Özellikle ablanın yemeklerine de aşık olduk. Gerçekten geçirdiğim en güzel tekne seyahatiydi, bir kere de burdan teşekkür etmek istedim.

Arzu Hanım ve Hakan Bey çok ilgililer. Tüm rezervasyon süreçlerinde ve iletişimde hiçbir sorun yaşamadık. Tekne temiz ve 3 saat öncesinden hazırdı. Çarşaflar tertemiz ve bol miktarda da temiz havlu bırakılmıştı. mutfak malzemeleri yeterli idi. Yelken yapacaklar için 46 feet Bavaria ile 25 knot rüzgarda, 10 knot hıza rahat ulaştık. Buzdolapları ve inverter ile sorun yaşadık. Durumu Hakan beye bildirdiğimizde ilgileneceğini söyledi. Tekrar buradan kiralama yapabilirim. Teşekkürler.

We had a fantastic week with Serhan on his Dufour 460! Serhan is a professional in all senses and provided a wonderful experience. If you want to relax, he will show you the most peaceful places to swim and dine. If you want to sail, he will open the sails and even give you coaching. It was only the two of us but the boat could have easily fit another couple. We absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful and seamless holiday on the Montenegro coastline. It was our best holiday yet!

Özellikle tekne sahibi Nazım beyin ilgisi , açıklamaları ve işletmecilik anlayışı bunda en büyük etkendi. Tekne ise yeni ve bakımlı idi. Klimalı olması başta olmak üzere donanım açısından zengindi. Tekrar kiralamayı kesinlikle düşünürüm.

The Gocek bay is magical and Ertan’s boat was excellent, many place to stay and relax. Ertan was very kind and helping and his mother was a fantastic cooker . The only bad thing is the crowd. Too many boats in the bay. I think the best would be to come in another period that summer.
