The choice selection of water toys aboard S/Y GRAYONE includes jet ski, water skis and a 4m x 4m (13ft x 13ft) pool to swim free from jellyfish.

VENICE 

Usually, it’s the western side of Italy that receives all of the attention, especially on a luxury yacht charter. However, the east coast has its own secrets and wonders, and no more so than the beautiful and mysterious waterfront city of Venice. The city is a great addition to an Eastern Mediterranean charter heading from west to east or vice-versa, and arguably has some of the best luxury shopping and historic buildings all in one place. Buy renowned Murano glass sculptures from the Murano and Burano Districts, take home your own souvenir carnival mask or savour some in-the-moment treats such as the delectable chocolates and gelato ice creams.

Enchanting Venice on the Eastern side of Italy

The Doge’s Palace, the Grand Canal and Saint Mark’s Basilica are the highlights of the city, and there are plenty of museums and galleries to visit when you want to step out of the afternoon heat. Sparkle in the night at the world’s oldest casino, Casino di Venezia, or be entertained by highly talented musicians at a concert or opera. Once you’ve toured the best sites of the city, head on to the beautiful lands and waters surrounding Croatia.

CROATIA

Croatia is one of the most popular destinations in the Eastern Mediterranean for superyacht charters, and once you’ve experienced what there is on offer for yourselves, you’ll never want to leave: Pristine beaches on islands scattered along the coast, magnificent cities filled with Roman and Greek architecture, bountiful fishing grounds and choice locations for snorkelling and Scuba diving make this a prime destination for peace seekers and adventurers alike.

Beautiful Croatia, an ideal destination for a yacht charter vacation this summer

Begin your cultural journey at Poreč, a stunning seaside town where the whitewashed walls and terracotta roofs contrast with the sapphire blue waters below. The 6th Century Euphrasian Basilica will impress adults and children alike with its grand atmospheric halls, mosaics and bell tower, and just a few streets away are the House of Two Saints, the Romanesque House and Zuccato Palace and the Neptune Temple. Rest and watch the world go by from one of the harbourside cafes, or head back on board your yacht for personalised service without any lunchtime queues.

Cruise down the coast to Rovinj and Pula for their amazing museums and art galleries, plus a great selection of open-air music events throughout the summer months. One the way, there will be more impressive beaches amongst the Brijuni National Park – a great place to snorkel or cruise along in the kayak and admire this thriving natural wonderland.

Jacuzzi on board M/Y ELIXIR available in Croatia

The Dalmatian Coast is an absolute treasure in the Adriatic, where you will have your pick of beaches and picturesque port hamlets among verdant isles. The Kornati National Park has more than eighty islands to explore, either overland by hiking trails or underwater with plenty of dive sites to entice beginners and the experienced alike: Spend the morning immersed in nature and then rest in the afternoon sunshine and regain your energy in time to party under the stars. For those looking for shopping opportunities and famous sights, Dubrovnik has plenty of both: The harbour was used as ‘King’s Landing’ in the Game of Thrones TV series, and majestic destinations such as Sponza Palace and the Church of St. Ignacius church are all nearby.

MONTENEGRO

The small nation has plenty to see and do around the Bay of Kotor, and photographers and artists will have their pick of scenic coastal villages and secluded bays. Visit the local boutiques, forts, museums and cafes before cruising on to Budva, where the scenic medieval Old Town conceals museums, cafes, galleries and ruins within its winding streets.

GREECE

From Corfu to Kos, the Greece charter grounds are absolutely stunning and attract tourists from the world over during the peak summer season. On a luxury yacht charter, you can escape the crowds and still find a deserted sandy beach to have all to yourselves for dinners at sunset, beach games and hours on the water toys.

Zakynthos in Greece

The Ionian Islands are known for their white cliffs, soft sand beaches, rich history and amazing nightlife. There are some fantastic snorkelling and Scuba diving sites to discover, and as you cruise from one bay to the next you’ll be presented with tons of opportunities to play on the water toys or simply lie back and enjoy the moment.

The Saronic Islands close to Athens are ideal for sailing yachts due to the constant breeze, and close by the Cyclades and Dodecanese are dotted with picturesque white and blue-roofed buildings, coloured beaches and UNESCO World Heritage Sites amongst myriad ruins – the perfect destination for those that like to explore at their leisure under open skies.

TURKEY

Just as Venice is often overlooked on charters around Italy, so too is the Turkish Riviera – also known as the Turquoise Coast – due to its location beside the more well-known and popular Greece charter grounds. However, those willing to head a little farther east will encounter magnificent snorkelling and Scuba diving sites, tranquil anchorages and bustling cities where the past and the present have much to offer visitors. 

Yachts in Marmaris, Turkey

Bodrum is easy to reach from the Dodecanese island of Kos, and this sprawling metropolis is home to the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus – one of the Wonders of the Ancient World. 

Dea Delmare luxury charter gulet

There is an exceptional fleet of luxury yachts available in the Eastern Mediterranean, and there are options to suit small family and friends groups looking for a traditional sailing yacht or catamaran, all the way up to the latest mega yacht launches for big celebrations on board. Whichever you choose for your next luxury yacht charter, the Eastern Mediterranean charter grounds are absolutely perfect for satisfying a taste for adventure above and below the water.

MORE INFO ABOUT THE YACHT | ENQUIRE

Verventia, the organiser of the Thailand Yacht Show, has announced that the 2021 event has been postponed following an outbreak of coronavirus in the country that has resulted on restrictions on inter-provincial travel, and visitors entering the country from the 12th of January must now undergo a 14-day quarantine upon arrival.

Royal Phuket Marina in Thailand

The Thailand Yacht Show 2021 was originally scheduled to take place from the 11th – 14th February but will now take place later in the year. CEO Andy Treadwell commented on the situation:

“We have discussed the options with our principal stakeholders, and all agree that we have no choice in the matter. With only six weeks to go to show opening, and travel restrictions seeming likely to become more widely enforced over the next few weeks, it would simply be irresponsible to continue with plans to stage the show over the Chinese New Year period in February, even if it were allowed. Despite the financial hardships this will cause for our suppliers, our exhibitors, and for ourselves too, we are in full agreement with the government’s anti-Covid safety measures, and we will just have to wait for the situation to ease.”

Phuket and the surrounding islands within the Andaman Sea have proven a popular destination in Southeast Asia for beaches, water sports and nature tours as well as luxury shopping and sensational nightlife.

The new show dates will be announced as soon as possible, with June/July and November being the most likely months for alternatives.
