Yacht Charter Itineraries
Twelve routes we actually run, written day by day, for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. Each one is a realistic week — not a wish list — with the anchorages in a sensible order and honest notes on when to go.
Treat every itinerary here as a starting point. On a crewed charter the captain adjusts the route to the forecast, which is the whole advantage over a fixed-schedule cruise. What these pages give you is a clear picture of what a week in each cruising ground actually looks like.

How to choose between them
The honest shortcut is season. The Caribbean and Bahamas run December to April or May; the Mediterranean runs May to October. If your dates are fixed, that decision is already made for you.
After that it comes down to what you want from the week. The British Virgin Islands and Abacos are the easiest sailing and the best choice for a first charter or a family with young children. The Grenadines and Exumas are the most remote and the best water. The French Riviera and Amalfi Coast give you the most ashore. Croatia and the Cyclades sit in between, with short hops and walled towns or white villages.
Frequently asked questions
Can you build a custom itinerary?
Yes, and most of our clients end up with one. These twelve are the routes that work reliably; once we know your dates, your party and what you care about, we adjust from there. A custom week costs no more than a standard one.
Do I need to pick an itinerary before booking a yacht?
No, and it is usually easier the other way round. Pick the cruising ground and the dates first, then the yacht, then the detailed route — which your captain will shape in the week before you board, when the forecast is actually known.
How far do you sail each day?
On these routes, rarely more than two or three hours. All twelve are built around short daily hops, so you spend most of the day at anchor rather than under way. If you want to cover more ground, say so and we will plan for it.
