Yacht charter destinations
Each guide covers the season, the winds, where charters start and what licence you need, with links to where we found it.

A long, island-studded coast with short hops between harbours, making it one of Europe's easiest places for a first bareboat week.
- Aegean and IonianGreece
Thousands of islands across two very different seas: the windy, exposed Cyclades and the calmer, greener Ionian.
- Aegean and MediterraneanTurkey (Turquoise Coast)
Home of the gulet, a traditional wooden boat turned crewed cruising yacht, and of the blue cruise along the historic ports of Turkey's south-west coast.
- Western MediterraneanBalearic Islands
Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera: busy summer anchorages, clear water and Palma as one of the Mediterranean's big yachting hubs.
