With more and more exotic new yachting destinations opening up each year, you can now charter yachts in remote Patagonia, tropical South East Asia, or in the spectacular Norwegian fjords.

Finding a company like 12knots.com will guarantee you have all of your chartering needs taken care of. When deciding you would like to charter a yacht, keep these top 5 destinations in mind.

The Top 5 Destinations to Charter a Yacht

Croatian Islands

With the dreamy Mediterranean climate and the stunning coastline, it is no wonder people choose the Croatian Islands. In addition, Croatia has many natural wonders, boasting eight impressive national parks.

Many people are familiar with Croatia because of the fantastic events held regularly. It has even been named Europe’s top music festival location.

Croatia has the maritime infrastructure Yachties dream of. You will find a safe harbor or port along the coast. Set sail for Croatia for an unforgettable adventure. The beautiful coves and bays down the southern coast offer blissful isolation.

Greek Isles

The Greek Isles boast hundreds of islands, each with its own culture and experiences. The deep blue seas and breathtaking beaches rival fairytales. Greek beaches range from powder-soft sand to awe-inspiring wave-sculpted granite.

Greece’s beaches are some of the most unique and beautiful in the world. Greece is also known for the purity of its beaches, with some of Europe’s cleanest beaches, and many have received the worldwide Blue Flag for eco-quality regularly.

Galápagos

With the diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, yachting around the Galápagos should be on your bucket list. Although you are more likely to stumble on a seal than a sunbather, the Galápagos have stunning beaches.

There are several highly coveted diving spots located in the Galápagos islands. You will find yourself with the opportunity to scuba dive with megafaunas such as hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, and majestic rays.

The French Riviera

The Esterel Mountain coast, with its red rock cliffs that plunge into perfectly blue seas, and the Lérins Islands, off the coast of Cannes, are some of the highlights. The islands are shaded by eucalyptus trees with jade- and amethyst-colored creeks and offer various beach-style dining options.

Yachting in the Frech Riviera can help you avoid the summertime tourist crowds. The unique coastline is made up of white beaches and turquoise waters.

Norway

Norwegian cuisine is known to be inventive and flavorful, filled with unexpected combinations. In Norway, local produce, new twists on classic dishes, and fresh Scandinavian ingredients drive the food scene.

Many whale species call the waters in Norway home, including humpbacks, orcas, minke, and sperm whales. So it gives you several chances to unwind while whale-watching.

 

These are some of my favorite yachting locations, but there are plenty of destinations, and the choice is yours. Speak to your yacht broker to decide what is best for your individual needs.

Until next time!
