Yacht Rental – Destinations
The world map spread out on the navigator’s desk is not just a blueprint. It’s an invitation. To every corner where the sea calls, and the wind whispers: “Try it!” Choosing a destination is like choosing a dream. Someone goes to the ancient shores of Greece, where the stars are reflected in the surface of the Ionian Sea. Some went to the palm trees of the Caribbean, where the shadows of old smugglers still lurk. And someone is looking for the loneliness and secrets of Lake Baikal, the deepest mirror of the Earth.
The charter world is divided not into countries, but into water areas, each with its own character. In some, you’ll stroll through the marinas like you’re walking a red carpet, in others, you’ll choose coves where no tourist has set foot.
1. The Mediterranean Sea — the way of emperors and pirates
Every wave here knows a legend. The marble shores of Greece, the ruins of Rome, the coastal villages of Croatia, the olive groves of Turkey — all this luxury of culture and sun lies within the reach of one yacht.
Character: Habitable, safe, ideal for a first rental.
Best time: May–October.
For whom: Families, lovers, gourmets and those who want to be beautiful — but not difficult.
Routes:
- The Gulf of Athens and the Saronic Islands
- Sibenik – Korcula – Dubrovnik
- The Amalfi coast and the islands of Capri – Ischia
- Balearic Islands (Majorca – Minorca – Ibiza)
2. The Caribbean — between rum and reefs
It’s not just the sea, it’s a challenge. The waters where hurricanes raged and galleons disappeared now invite you to dock at the beach with a bar right in the palm trees.
Character: Hot, lively, with islands like beads on a string.
Best time: December–March (outside hurricane season).
For whom: Sunbathers with an adventurous streak, snorkelers and captains with the spirit of a free sailor.
Routes:
- British Virgin Islands
- St. Martin – St. Barts – Anguilla
- Grenada – Grenadines – Saint Vincent
3. Southeast Asia – waters of temples and tropics
Here, in the morning fog over the sea, you can hear the jungle singing. Islands appear suddenly, like mirages. Rocks rise out of the water like the backs of sea titans.
Character: Wild, fascinating, changeable.
Best time: November–April (west coast of Thailand).
For whom: Seekers of non-tourist routes, spiritual travelers and photographers with a craving for the wild.
Routes:
- Phuket Phi Phi Krabi
- Bali Komodo Range
- Langkawi – Penang
4. The Black Sea is a sea of memories and storms
Everything is a little more serious here. The winds can be harsh, but nature is proud and beautiful. The coasts preserve the spirit of the empire and Soviet dachas, and the water here smells of steppe and wine.
Character: Moderately complex, but malleable to those who take their time.
Best time: June – September.
For whom: Those who appreciate real weather, real people and proximity to their native land.
Routes:
- Sochi-Gelendzhik-Novorossiysk
- Varna-Balchik-Nessebar
- Batumi-Turkish Coast
5. Russian reservoirs — the whisper of forests and the ringing of bells
Not all adventures start abroad. The Volga, Baikal, and the Gulf of Finland are like a novel bound in pine and silver dew. Here you can get off the road not through the terminal, but simply from the pier.
Character: Cozy, calm, sincere.
Best time: May–September.
For whom: for those who want romance without a visa, quiet sunrises and seagulls over an icon on the shore.
Routes:
- Saint Petersburg – Valaam
- Kizhi – Petrozavodsk – Vytegra
- Irkutsk – Olkhon Island (Baikal)
How do I choose a route?
- The calm waters of the Mediterranean or short river cruises in Russia are suitable for beginners.
- Lovers of nature and solitude — Indonesia, the Caribbean outside the peak season, Lake Baikal.
- For parties and outdoor activities — Ibiza, Saint Barts, Thailand.
- To discover the world and yourself — anywhere where Wi-Fi does not work.
Are you ready to roll up the map and say yes to the first port on the horizon? After all, it’s not the route that chooses you — you choose your sea.
