Unusual charter destinations to visit in the Mediterranean
Published 05 August 2024
While hiring a yacht in the Mediterranean comes with a long list of tried and tested destinations, venturing off the beaten path can be just as rewarding. Small islands tucked out of sight, diminutive medieval villages with history for the taking, and secluded bays far away from tourists is where the true value of a superyacht charter comes into focus.
Italian Riviera
Few places muster as much romance as the quintessential I talian R iviera towns . From Porto Venere and La Spezia to Alassio , San Remo and Rapallo , each one makes for a destination stop on a dolce vita yacht charter.
The Ligurian c oast is scattered with pretty fishing harbours and sheltered anchorages, which makes a charter to Genoa an attractive option . The green-hilled coastline is laced with pastel-hued buildings and golden beaches . T he Archipelago of Portovenere , comprising the three islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto , is a highlight.
Perhaps one of the most coveted yacht destinations throughout the Italian Riviera, and one of the best places to visit in Italy in general, Portofino is an unassuming fishing village made famous for its precariously placed colourful cliffside homes. Cobbled streets, high-end shopping, art galleries and historic sites make Portofino a must-visit itinerary stop.
Baia Cannone
This small cove with a pebble beach offers a tranquil spot away from the busy crowds. Baia Cannone is a beloved swimming spot by the locals, flanked by imposing cliffs and picturesque villas. It’s best reached by boat, where guests can take advantage of the clear waters further from the shore.
Cinque Terre
Portofino is an ideal base to sail along the now world-famous Cinque Terre, though a Genoa-to-Cinque-Terre day trip is also a popular excursion. The five villages — Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore — are serviced by train and road. On a charter, however, sip on a glass of local Ormeasco while cruising past the tourist hot spots, before dropping anchor to snorkel the Cristo degli Abissi (Christ of the Abyss), a submerged bronze statue that sits 17m beneath the waves.
While Forte dei Marmi draws the crowds with its heritage beaches, journeying inland into Tuscany’s rolling countryside will deliver you to the famed Carrara marble quarries, the region’s famed chianti vineyards and the mountains beyond. Charter guests are spoilt for t hings to do in Tuscany , with famed beach clubs swarming along the velvet sands to heritage landmarks that must be seen to be believed.
Elba Island
Found in the Tyrrhenian Sea’s Tuscan Archipelago National Park, the island of Elba was made famous when it became Napoleon’s place of exile. The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, it is better known today for its wildlife, beauty and adventurous cycling tracks.
There is more to Pisa than the famed Leaning Tower, though catching a glimpse of the architectural marvel while there is still recommended. Just a stone’s throw away is the University of Pisa, which houses Europe's oldest academic botanical garden. The Romanesque, striped-marble cathedral that rises next to the Tower in the Piazza dei Miracoli is another highlight.
The capital of Tuscany, home to Michelangelo’s ‘David’, and the location of the famed Bridge of Sighs, Florence has been capturing tourists’ hearts for centuries. In addition to established art and culinary scenes, the Basilica di Santa Maria del Carmine’s chapel frescoes and the terracotta-tiled Duomo cathedral that dominates the skyline prove irresistible.
- French Riviera
Just utter the word superyacht and a French Riviera itinerary is what comes to mind. The French coast is the beating heart of a Mediterranean yacht charter, with Monaco, Nice and Saint-Tropez the pinnacle the lifeblood. However, venture a little further from the casinos and nightlife to discover an altogether more authentic slice of life on the Riviera.
Nestled in the hills of north Cannes, Grasse is synonymous with the heady notes of its long-established perfume industry. Established perfumeries, including Fragonard, Molinard and Galimard, reside here, which has given rise to 40 hectares of flower farms in the Pays de Grasse, tucked between the sea and mountains making it a biodiversity hot spot.
Originally a medieval commune, today Saint Paul de Vence is revered for its quieter pace of life, picturesque old town and views across the Mediterranean. Taking petit dejeuner in the ancient village square is as wholesome as it is delicious.
Lérins islands
The four Lérins islands are just a 30-minute hop by tender from the bustle of Canne’s Boulevard de la Croisette, and yet when lounging in the quiet shade of eucalyptus trees it feels far from the madding crowds. The two largest islands in this group are Île Sainte-Marguerite, which hosts an outpost of La Guérite, and Île Saint-Honorat, where the wine produced by the monks at Lérins Abbey doesn’t disappoint.
Cannes is arguably the most popular holiday destination in the south of France and a superyacht hub. Though not an unusual destination to head to on charter, it’s at risk of being overlooked for pastures new. Dropping anchor in the Bay of Cannes is a great way to try out all the yacht’s toys. It’s also a perfect jumping off point to cruise around the islands of Sardinia and Corsica.
Sandwiched between Cannes and Nice, Antibes is the lesser-known sister. Beloved by the wealthy for its forested Cap d’Antibes peninsula, dotted with grand villas that overlook the superyacht ports, it’s also worth checking out the fresh produce markets and the old town enclosed by 16th-century ramparts with the star-shaped Fort Carré.
It might not sit at the top of a yacht charter er’s wish list, but Cyprus offers a glut of treats make it worthy of this list. It boasts undisturbed golden beaches along the island’s coastline, a mountainous inland topography for the more adventurous, and an enormous variety of diving spots suitable for all ages, from Limassol's shallow, sandy bottomed dives to more advanced wall dives that plunge to depths of 60m.
Turkey’s shipbuilding heritage makes it an obvious sailing destination, whether by modern motor yacht or a traditional handcrafted gulet . While Bodrum and Istanbul are vibrant metropolises where souks and bazaars draw the crowds, the half-moon bay of Kabak beach focuses on wellness and is one of the best beaches in Turkey for families. Swimming in the Ölüdeniz Blue Lagoon should be on the wish list, and the city of Antalya, which offers the best of both worlds, should not be passed by.

Parsifal III: Meet the charter star of Below Deck's sailing yacht spin-off
This week, producers have confirmed season five of hit reality TV show Below Deck Sailing Yacht will return to screens on 7 October for more crew drama and on-the-water antics. Set on the Balearic island of Ibiza, the series will again feature the 54-metre Perini Navi superyacht Parsifal III with Captain Glenn Shephard at the helm. In anticipation of the series' return, BOAT reflects on an interview with her owner Kim Vibe-Petersen , who unpacked the realities of filming a reality TV series on board his boat ahead of season three.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht is a spin-off series of the hit superyacht reality TV show Below Deck that follows the lives of the crew and guests across an eight-week charter season. For Danish owner Kim Vibe-Petersen, Parsifal III' s return is yet another opportunity to show off the yacht's charter credentials.
Vibe-Petersen was personally approached by Below Deck producers in 2018 after they struggled to find a suitable sailing yacht. Parsifal III fitted the bill as she was already equipped for charter and a number of her existing crew were willing to take part in the show.
The Perini Navi sailing yacht first hit the water in 2005 and rose to instant fame scoring a number of prestigious accolades including a coveted Neptune at the World Superyacht Awards . On her launch, she also joined the ranks as one of the fast Perini Navi superyachts on the water with a top speed of 18 knots under full sail granted by two high-tech carbon masts, automated in-boom furling and a winged keel.
Vibe-Petersen admitted there were some yacht owners who didn’t want the names of their yachts connected with the drama-filled reality show, but he "didn’t have that concern." Although he had the option to change the yacht’s name for filming, he decided to keep it to maximise the charter appeal of Parsifal III .
"It’s free advertising," he said. "The name of the yacht will come to people’s minds, especially to someone who has never chartered a yacht before. They will see that name and know the boat from the show."
Vibe-Petersen was also keen to secure a guaranteed packed charter schedule during low season. "I think there were a lot of boats that did not want to be chartered for the show but it's good money in the bank," he said.
While admitting he might not be the "specific audience targeted by the series," he said he has sat down to watch the first series, which took place in Corfu. Even in Vibe-Peterson’s home country of Denmark, the US show has gained a big following.
"This is the kind of show where they want to make a little drama," he added. "It’s not that wild on board a normal charter." The conveyor belt of colourful guests are chosen by the production team and given a "big discount" for appearing on the show.
Vibe-Petersen also explained the complicated logistics of filming Below Deck , each season of which features 16 charters filmed across a period of eight weeks. This means that two groups of guests separately charter the yacht in a single week. Meanwhile, the production team require a time period of at least a week to get Parsifal III rigged up and fit for filming. "There are 30 people on board each day with lots of wires and cameras – it’s a big, big operation."
Season one was filmed in Corfu, Greece, which posed a number of challenges for Parsifal III as the sailing yacht was required to have a specific charter licence. "It’s pretty tough to get that," said Vibe-Petersen. "It’s not something we can do within a short amount of time. It can take 10 to 12 weeks to get a charter licence so it takes time."
For her second season, Parsifal III was filmed cruising Croatia's 3,600 miles of coastline. For season three, the show follows Parsifal III as she cruises around the Spanish island of Menorca, carrying a mix of new and old crew.
Season five of Below Deck Sailing Yacht will feature returning department heads chief stew Daisy Kelliher and first mate Gary King, while chef Cloyce Martin, chief engineer Davide Morosi, stews Diana Cruz and Danni Warren, and deckhands Keith Allen and Emma Crouch are amongst the new crew members.
Parsifal III is managed for charter by Camper & Nicholsons with a weekly charter rate starting from €245,000.

While hiring a yacht in the Mediterranean comes with a long list of tried and tested destinations, venturing off the beaten path can be just as rewarding. Small islands tucked out of sight, diminutive medieval villages with history for the taking, and secluded bays far away from tourists is where the true value of a superyacht charter comes into focus.
