As you will notice, Split is a true Mediterranean city whose main promenade “Riva” comes alive with people as the sun sets down and the bars start opening.

A yearly highlight of the Martinican social calendar, the Yawl Boat Race will be contested this year between July 29 and August 5, literally encircling the Isle of Flowers with a boundless spirit of joy, replete with pulsating rhythms, prodigious libations, and nonstop parties.

Yawl boats featured in the race are constructed with painstaking detail in the grand tradition of Martinican fishing vessels initially developed by local craftsmen in the 70s. Each vessel flies brightly-colored rectangular sails over rounded canoe-like wooden hulls made from local Pear trees.

As distinctive in style as they are challenging to sail, quick and agile yawl boats test the mettle of even the most experienced sailors, their rounded hulls ensuring an instant capsize if ever the vessels should come to a stop at sea.

 

This year’s race departs initially from the picturesque seaside village of Le Robert, continuing in a counter-clockwise fashion around the island in seven stages. Teams representing various towns across Martinique compete alongside international competitors from neighboring islands. Visitors and locals turn out by the thousands each day of the race to offer enthusiastic support and enjoy the festivities.

After breakfast leave for Marmaris, known as one of Turkey’s most beautiful towns. Every inch of Marmaris is worth seeing. It has an extraordinary beauty with its coves, sandy beaches, evergreen forests and plants. Some of the wonderful sea journeys, which have become the most popular activity in the region, take place in the beautiful coves of Marmaris.

 

You can anchor and stay overnight in the natural harbour of Serce Limani.  A small restaurant is ashore and the friendly owner usually row out to invite you for dinner. Serce was the site of a very interesting wreck, whose cargo remains can still be seen in the Bodrum castle museum. Well-protected waters for swimming.

Greece – Aegean Sea

By chartering a yacht in Greece you can discover the places where Mediterranean history and culture come from.

Thousands of islands, between the Aegean and Ionian Sea, emerging from crystal clear waters, offer breathtaking views in a singleness of colors and scents. The possible routes are many and can fulfill all expectations.

Sample Itinerary

 

If you board your yacht in Athens, the first stop can be in Kea. From the little harbour, through picturesque arched alleys and classic Cycladic houses you can reach Chora. Built as an amphitheatre it impresses the visitor with its tile-roofed little houses, steep little streets paved in stone, and very nice churches. Charming little bays, covered in bushes, oleanders and laurel plants, open in succession along the west coast. The picturesque hamlet of Vourkari has excellent restaurants, specializing in fish based recipes including spaghetti served with lobster as well as a local version of bouillabaisse soup.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Kéa, sail to Tinos, a mountainous, rugged island, famous for its 80 or so windmills and the stunning church of Panagia Evangelistria.

 

Mykonos is a grand example of unique Cycladic architecture set around a picturesque fishing-village bay. Totally whitewashed, cube-like buildings fit closely together to form a kind of chaotic maze of narrow alley ways and streets. The earthen colors of the bare hills surrounding the town’s gleaming whiteness create a stunning contrast with an incredibly blue sky and an even deeper blue sparkling sea.

 

 

 

The beautiful islands of Delos and Paros are approximately 28nm south of Mykonos. Delos is the mythological birth-place of Apollo and Artemis and is one of the most important historical and archaeological sites in all of Greece. Paros is a popular tourist destination, known for its sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and exciting night-life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not to be missed during your cruise in Greek is the island of Ios, a most appreciated tourist destination, not only for its famous golden beaches, including Mylopotas, Yialos, but also for the characteristic Aegean architecture of the monastery of St John and of some other fascinating churches. Ios is well known as the party island with a lively atmosphere and endless fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The present-day crescent shape of Santorini is a consequence of the activity of the volcano in prehistoric times, feeding the myth of the lost Atlantis. Santorini is essentially what remains of an enormous volcanic explosion during the Minoan era. Santorini is dominated by a giant caldera that provides a deep and sheltered harbour.

 

Sifnos, the Island of Apollo, is a beautiful mountainous island, with fertile valleys, popular beaches and several delightful towns, including the medieval village of Kastro. Located on the east side of the island, Kastro is surrounded by thick walls that protect a labyrinth of tiny streets and passageways. The bay of Vathi always provides safe anchorage.

Croatia

With its 725 islands scattered along the Adriatic Sea, soaring mountains, deep gorges, cascading waterfalls, immense fields of lavender and gently rolling hills dotted with ancient olive trees, Croatia is definitely the most beautiful and exciting area a yachtsman can dream of for his holidays and over the last few years the choice of luxury yachts for charter in the Adriatic Sea has been constantly increasing.

The almost 6000 km of shoreline offer an infinite number of pleasantly quiet nooks, small fishermen’s villages, secluded bays, enchanting and often deserted beaches, spectacularly clear waters — but also ancient towns with churches and squares which have maintained their original character. Many of the main towns on the eastern Adriatic coast actually have a Venetian origin and the old local dialect is very similar to the ones spoken in Venice and in Trieste. These two superb Italian towns, very different and often conflicting through many centuries, represent the “north-eastern doors” to the Mediterranean Sea.

Sample Itinerary

Venice and Trieste both have a rich maritime tradition and are perfect places to start your charter and to spend at least one day before setting out on your cruise along the Croatian coasts. Venice, described by many as ‘undoubtedly the most beautiful city on earth’ needs no further presentation, and Trieste, having been for centuries the main port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, still preserves the original architectural and cultural shine.

 

Sailing down the coast of the Istria peninsula, the northern part of Croatia, the next stop of your itinerary could take you to Rovinj, one of the most picturesque towns in the Adriatic Sea. Formerly a fishing village, it is now the most important resort in Istria. Close by is the Limska Draga Fjord, an area of outstanding natural beauty that is well known for its oyster breeding.

Set sail for the Brijuni, a group of fourteen small islands, separated from the Istrian peninsula by the Fažana Straight. Enjoy the beauty of the national park of Brijuni, known for its rich harmony of flora and fauna, historical monuments and its fine hotels.

 

 

Crossing the Kvarner bay your yacht will reach the famous Dalmatian coast and the ancient town of Zadar, which dates back to the 9th century BC. Wander through the streets of this walled peninsula town and visit the carefully preserved Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments.

Close to Zadar you will find the Kornati archipelago, declared National Park in 1980, renowned for its lunar beauty and unique landscapes, where silence is only broken by the sound of the sea and wind. The archipelago, named after its largest island Kornati, offers unspoilt caves, coves and a rich seabed, with stunning reefs and steep pinnacles.

At the mouth of the Krka River lies Šibenik, an ancient croatian city situated in the most protected natural harbor of the entire Adriatic.
You will be fascinated by the famous Cathedral of St. James, the most important Renaissance building in Croatia, which is included on the UNESCO World Heritage list, and by the luxuriant nature: a blue sea and the beautiful landscapes of the Krka National Park, including cascading waterfall and archeological remains.

Set on an islet between the mainland hills and ?iovo Island, Trogir is a historic town replete with architectural treasures, in particular its Romanesque churches and fine Venetian villas. The town of Split lies 27 kilometers to the east of Trogir, and is not to be missed! The historic centre of Split is another UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the city is one of the cultural hearts of Croatia.

The sunny island of Hvar, host to lavender fields, olive groves and vineyards, is situated in a picturesque natural setting, facing South. After centuries of unforgettable and amazing history, the eponymous town of Hvar is today the main tourist centre of the island and one of the best loved resorts on the Dalmatian Riviera.
The seven century old walls with fortifications towering above Hvar, the healthful climate, the beaches, restaurants and a lot more make this city a treasure of sights and experiences waiting to be discovered.

The town of Kor?ula is situated on the northeastern part of the eponymous island and is mainly composed by the historic district in which are kept in perfect condition the ancient city walls. Amidst the winding streets of the medieval town of Kor?ula you will find the birthplace of the famous explorer, Marco Polo.

The island has a white pebble beach and is rich in natural resources. Near Kor?ula are scattered about twenty uninhabited islands covered with dense vegetation. Among the many attractions we recommend to visit Badìa, entirely covered by woods.

South of the Peljesac Peninsula, lies the island of Mljet. The island is of volcanic origin and has numerous chasms and gorges, the longest of which is Babino Polje, which connects the north and south of the island. About one third of the island is a national park, making this an ideal spot to swim or cycle.

 

Dubrovnik is the most southern city of Dalmatia, just a few 20 miles from Montenegro. This medium sized city, with a rich historical heritage and a lively cultural life, is one of the main tourists attractions in Croatia.
Although severely damaged by an earthquake in 1667, Dubrovnik managed to preserve its beautiful Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains. A perfect place for a vacation, Dubrovnik is also the cradle of Croatian science and art.

The ultimate summer chic.
French Riviera  and Riviera Ligure

Costa Azzurra e Riviera Ligure

 

It is the most famous Riviera over all Europe, a luxurious garden just by the sea, elected by yesterday’s noble families and by today’s stars as the most glamorous holidays destination. Golden beaches and fire colored rocks, casinos and elegant promenades, villages on the hills caressed by lavander perfume…” This the opening of a special issue of the magazine “Meridiani”, entirely dedicated to the Côte d’Azur and the Riviera Ligure, but no description can really convey the unique spirit and atmosphere that can be encountered here all year round.

St. Tropez

St. Tropez

Fascinating medieval streets lined with walled gardens and picturesque houses lead to little squares set with gorgeous fountains. In this enchanting setting there’s a weekend’s worth of boutiques to explore and of cafés where you can relax and watch people saunter by. By the seaside, the beach clubs offer a truly hedonistic experience, while sipping champagne in front of the azure water.

Then, when the sun sets, the crowds move to the cafés on Place des Lices to watch the boules players, framed in soft light. But it is at night time that everything really comes alive and club lovers will be literally spoilt for choice.

 

Cannes
For over 150 years Cannes has been the capital of glamour thanks to the success of the film festival. A paradise for sun worshippers, it’s the sort of place for which the French invented the verb flâner (to saunter). Its graceful curve of wave-washed sand dotted with chic restaurants and

prestigious private beaches, its renowned waterfront promenade scattered with palm trees and strolling lovers, its status-symbol grand hotels competing to host the latest movie stars-this is, to many, the heart and soul of the Côte d’Azur.

 

 

Monaco

Monaco

Small but perfect, sitting on a broad, steep peninsula that stretches out into the Mediterranean, Monaco has it all: from architecture to art galleries, ballet to beach clubs, couture to casinos and the most glamorous Grand Prix in the motorsports calendar.

At its heart, Port Hercules sparkles with luxury yachts and classy apartment blocks. The port area, known as La Condamine, connects the “new quarter” of Monte Carlo, with the “vieille ville”, known as Monaco-Ville (or Le Rocher), the medieval town on the Rock, topped by the palace, the cathedral, and the Oceanographic Museum.

 

Portofino

Arriving in Portofino by sea you are welcomed by the postcard-perfect views of the pink and yellow houses clustered around its little harbour. One of the most photographed villages along the coast, with a particularly romantic aura, Portofino has long been a popular destination for luxury yacht charters. It’s an idyllic place where time slows down as you stroll around the castle, Punta del Capo, the boutiques and then stop to sip a coffee in the small harbor. Weaving through cliff-side gardens and gazing at yachts framed by the turquoise Ligurian Sea and the cliffs of Santa Margherita you will experience moments of wholesome beauty.
