Amalfi and Sicily are effortlessly charming. From the colourful cliff-hugging towns and breathtaking views gained after climbing Mount Etna to the ancient ruins and archaeological sites both above and below the water, chartering a yacht will see you discovering the unique flair of the Italian coastline.

Sardinia is home to some of Europe’s greatest adventures. Heli inland to hike through the lush interior, zipline across gorges, or walk the vertiginous coastal paths. From the comfort of your yacht, explore Sardinia’s many cave systems and submerged Roman ruins before windsurfing in Porto Pollo in the sunshine.

Corsica is a place of dramatic geographical diversity, with turquoise waters, forest-covered mountains and villages perched on hilltops. Explore the 200 beaches and bays that sparkle like diamonds. Hike through forests and part of the famous G20 route, foraging with experts before cooking on open fires for a remote lunch set up. Get lost among the picturesque streets of the mountain villages or try hand-gliding from mountains on the west coast.

Drop anchor in secluded inlets, pull into hidden beaches, explore the ancient caves, and hike through the mountainous national parks replete with wildlife (think golden eagles, lynx, wolves, and bears). Each island has its own personality and offers something for everyone on board: wine and food tours, adventure, fresh seafood, friendly locals, watersports, and Roman and Bronze age ruins.

The birthplace of democracy and home of incredible archaeological sites, thousands of stunning islands, and delicious cuisine, a charter around Greece holds so much excitement. On the mainland wander the back streets of Athens as well as among marvellous ruins. Or, island hop around the Cyclades and the lesser-known corners of the Dodecanese – offering a patchwork of culture and adventure. Head into vast cave complexes to explore the house of Pythagorus and underground hot springs​ before diving in submersibles among wrecks of ships and aeroplanes as well as sunken cities of antiquity​.

Malta has an almost mythical quality to it that comes from its eerie underwater caves, stunning temples, and medieval architecture. The streets here wind around towns and villages taking you past churches, markets, museums, and some of the oldest buildings in the world. See the north side of the island via horseback, explore the catacombs of Rabat with personal guides, or head to Gizo where you can explore the Ġgantija Temples that predate even the Pyramids of Egypt.

From Monaco to Saint-Tropez, the French Riviera is the jewel of the Mediterranean with its cosmopolitan culture and sun-kissed lifestyle. There’s an abundance of glamorous opportunities, from dropping anchor at one of its many beach clubs to perusing the chic towns for shopping and people-watching from café terraces. Drive in supercars as you visit one of the region’s famous vineyards for a personal tour or enjoy a spa day or culinary masterclass at one of the Riviera’s exclusive hotels.
