One of the most alluring yachting regions anywhere on the globe, the Mediterranean entices sea-faring visitors with its calm, warm waters, majestic natural scenery and array of land-based stop-offs on secluded beaches, in small fishing coves and at oceanside tavernas. Catering for them are a wide choice of companies offering Mediterranean yacht charters – and we’ve picked five of the best below.

Ritzy Charters

Founded in May 2012 and based in Florida, Ritzy Charters is a trusted community marketplace for arranging yacht rental charters in the Mediterranean and beyond – particularly for crewed yachts. The company offers hundreds of vessels in the region across several categories, including motorboats, sailing boats, and catamarans, and even caters to super yacht charter clients. The booking process is easy too – you simply fill in a query form with some necessary details, including number of guests, dates, itinerary and special requests, then you ask for a quote and wait for the company to send back a list of available yachts that fit your criteria.

In the Easter and Western Mediterranean region they have hundreds of crewed yachts available for charter, with prices starting at €12,850 per week for a 20-metre motoryacht that sleeps up to 8 guests and can be rented out of Montenegro.

Click&Boat

Click & Boat is a peer-to-peer platform that invites boat owners post  listings for their vessels along with pictures, spec and price. Renters can then contact them directly via an online messaging service to ask any questions, as well as view feedback from previous renters. Bareboat rentals are the cheapest option, but you can also have a captain onboard for an additional cost. When we searched for boat rentals in the Mediterranean, there was a huge choice of vessels available, with the cheapest option a  5.6-metre motorboat that can accommodate up to 6 people, available bareboat in Greece and priced at just €30 per day before fees. No licence is required to helm this boat, either.

Mediterranean Sailing tips

This time 12 Knots invites you to discover the most traveled  part of the world – a glorious journey around the shores of the  Mediterranean Sea.

It is a long, lively, occasionally challenging and endlessly  fascinating trip off from Gibraltar, one of the fabled Pillars of  Hercules, up the coast of Spain, along the Riviera, to the islands of  Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, then Croatia, the Greek islands and way-way  to Istanbul in Turkey.

Sailing along the coastlines as wild and diverse as anything you  encounter before will give you a real insight in this world – while  probing through layers of traditions and culture, ancient and modern,  rich and poor, fake and authentic.

Be open to surprise and serendipity, be willing to get lost and appreciate each routine’s uniqueness.

The Mediterranean Sea is an intercontinental one that separates  Europe from Africa. The Strait of Gibraltar connects it to the Atlantic  Ocean on the west; the Dardanelles and the Bosporus – to the Black Sea  on the east; and long man-made Suez Canal – to the Red Sea in the  south-east.

Chartering a boat in the Mediterranean

Renting a yacht in the Mediterranean is a  great alternative to a standard cruise on a liner – this way you will  feel the true freedom and get unique experience as a real traveler!  Spain, Croatia, Italy, France, Montenegro, Turkey, Greece, Malta -  wherever you want to go, 12 Knots will help you to charter a yacht that  will definitely meet your needs, type of vacation and budget. "The cradle of civilization" offers a huge number of attractions.  Secluded bays with paradise beaches and lively cities, fishing villages  with colorful boats and modern marinas filled with premium yachts. There  is no other part of the world where you may find such a great  gastronomic, architectural and nature diversity.

Renting a yacht in the Mediterranean Sea will give you  chance to see many countries of this area in a different perspective.  Instead of visiting standard touristic places you’ll be able to visit  wide variety of little-known places far from the standard routes. For  example, the Cote d'Azur is not only the luxurious ports of  Saint-Tropez, Monaco and Nice with luxury restaurants, casinos and a  great concentration of mega yachts. Here you may also find little  fishing villages, where in a family restaurant you can dine on freshly  caught fish with white or rose wine. Spain is not only Ibiza discos and  beaches of the Costa Brava, full of tourists and pareo vendors, but also  quiet harbors with amazingly clear water, where you can enjoy unusual  solitude.

Rent a boat and do what you want

Mediterranean yacht charters is the opportunity to do what you  want. Every day you can taste local versions of Mediterranean dishes  that differ in terms of cooking method, spices and sauces. Without any  haste, you may stroll among the ancient ruins and climb the walls of  beautifully preserved ancient fortresses, offering spectacular views on  the sea - exactly the same as hundreds of years ago.

Your  vacations will be much more interesting if you choose to rent a yacht.  The Mediterranean coast length is over 40 thousand km, 21 countries and  three continents with different coastal relief. Here you can find almost  everything: volcanos, starch-white and coal-black lava sand, pebbles  and shell rocks.

For photographers, video bloggers and movie  lovers, renting a yacht in the Mediterranean also gives the opportunity  to see a lot of interesting things – in a quite unique way. Among the  places that must be visited is the Italian town of Portofino, where  Antonioni / Wenders shot one of the episodes of the romantic drama  “Behind the Clouds”. Also don’t miss the Amalfi Coast, which is often  served as a backdrop for films about beautiful life. One of the most  scenic views here is Positano village with its colorful houses that  cascade down right to the blue water.

Those who love nature and  silence should include in the list one of the secluded Greek islands  with bicycles and boats. You can rest peacefully on some beaches of the  eastern coast of Sicily, and find a great combination of warm turquoise  of the sea and white fine soft sand. If you are getting bored with peace  and tranquility, you may always get off the anchor and set up sails to  the place where life is in full swing - like Ibiza, in Barcelona,  ??Monaco.

Benefits of sailing in the Mediterranean

One of the main features of the Mediterranean region is its  relative compactness and high dencity of different attractions. History  and architecture, museums, nature, beach attractions and water sports,  shops, amusement parks - all of these can be in just one sailing  vacation.

Mediterranean bareboat yacht charter gives you a  chance to visit places that are almost inaccessible from land, because  they have neither a parking lot nor a safe trail to the sea. You may  find plenty of secluded coves in rocky shores of Turkey and Greece,  where every spot can be your personal secret place, whit not risk of  finding another company.

Dazzling white streets of the small  coastal towns in Greece or red tiled roofs of Montenegro, contrasting  with the huge mountains. Malta’s cultural microcosm, where European,  Arab and African intertwined, and where, in addition to the magnificent  Gothic and Baroque buildings, there are prehistoric sanctuaries, the  secrets of which have not yet been solved. Turkey, with places not  touched by resorts, where you can clearly feel the breath of antiquity.  All this can be points of interest during your yacht charter in the  Mediterranean Sea!

For active travelers who value independence  versus staying in one spot, decision to rent a boat in the Mediterranean  Sea is definitely a solution. If you plan an ordinary trip with an  accuracy of one day and hotels bookings in advance, then yacht gives you  a chance to improvise and change your plan. Renting a yacht is two in  one option: accommodation and transportation at the same time.

It is not surprising that Mediterranean yacht charters are in great  demand and one of the most popular sailing destinations offered by 12  knots. Sailing in this region is a dream for many people, while we make  it a reality. We offer bareboat and crewed yachts for charter from  classic Turkish gulets to modern sailing boats and premium yachts. Our  manager will give detailed information each boat so that you can make  the right choice.

Above all we also can help with itinerary and  destination ideal for your needs and time of the year. For example, if  you are looking for diving or other waters sports, we will tell you the  best spots for underwater attractions and the best way to get there.  Where to find the most beautiful views? Which cities should go to catch  spectacular holidays? Where are the best water parks, shopping centers,  casinos, discos? Answers to all these questions will help create a  unique roadmap.

Most luxury boat rentals have five or six staterooms or cabins in various configurations, including twins, double, queen, and king beds.

Depending on the charter vessel, staterooms may include ensuite bathrooms, state-of-the-art entertainment systems, private study areas, and walk-in wardrobes. Larger mega yachts may have additional cabins for staff members like nannies, security, or personal butlers.

What are the sleeping arrangements aboard a yacht?

It depends on the yacht. For example, you could ask for a master cabin that is separate from your yacht charter guests if you want enhanced levels of privacy. If you are one big family, you can request a yacht with cabins closer together. If sleeping arrangements, including the placement of cabins, are an important consideration, then let your charter broker know.

Are kids allowed on a yacht charter?

Of course, kids are welcome aboard a yacht charter in the Mediterranean. Most yachts welcome nannies, too, with some larger superyachts having additional staff rooms specifically for nannies. A yacht charter offers a wonderful family vacation. Onboard amenities, including swimming pools and cinema rooms, are guaranteed to keep youngsters entertained, as too are the water toys, such as snorkeling gear, inflatables, fishing gear, and kayaks. With advanced notice, the crew can also arrange fun, kid-friendly activities, such as treasure hunts or fun fancy-dress parties.

The APA is typically around 25 to 35%. of the yacht charter fee and is paid before the charter commences. The captain is responsible for logging all APA expenses, and you can view the expenses at any time during your boat charter. Any funds left in the APA at the end of your charter holiday are immediately refunded to you.

A typical crew will include a captain, deck crew, interior crew, and a private chef. Additional crew may include a sommelier, personal fitness trainer, and beauty therapists. The exact roles of the crew will depend on the size and type of your vessel, but you can expect:

• A captain who is responsible for navigating the yacht and ensuring that all safety regulations are followed
• Deck crew who take care of the yacht’s exterior, including maintenance tasks such as cleaning, refueling the vessel, water sports activities, and more
• Interior crew who provide five-star guest services such as serving meals, drinks, cleaning and maintaining the interior, including staterooms, laundry, and more
• A chef who will prepare gourmet meals to your liking.

Ultimately, the crew will strive to make your experience enjoyable and stress-free by handling even the smallest details during your luxury yacht charter.

Can I decide which meals will be made onboard a yacht charter?

Yes, the menu is completely up to you. You and all guests will provide a preference sheet prior to embarking so the chef and interior crew can provision and have all of your favorites aboard the yacht.

Mediterranean yacht charter.

Sun-drenched beaches, gentle breezes, spectacular sunsets and coastlines so jaw-dropping that even the most amateur photographer can get the killer shot: this quintessential destination for first time charterers offers plenty of bang for your buck. Nowhere else in the world has so much variety in such close proximity. From island hopping in the Aeolian, to the thermal waters of Capri and Ischia, anchorages along the Amalfi coast and beach clubs of the French Riviera. Within a week you can combine cultural escapades with superlative shopping, wilderness with nightlife, adventure sports with wine tastings, or beaches with onboard BBQs. Undoubtedly, the West Mediterranean is best explored by Superyacht for unfettered views, privacy and access.

The Krka Waterfalls within the Krka National Park, just north of Sibenik, are stunning and never fail to wow people. Enjoy tranquil walks alongside the many crystal clear streams and waterfalls. It is nature at its finest. Cpt. Ben Craig-Cameron, Turquoise

For the best of Greek culture, wine, architecture, diving, beach and gastronomy, Mykonos and Santorini are a must.

Anchor off uninhabited Isla Verda and snorkel through rock formations. Try stand-up paddle boarding without spectators.

Mediterranean Yacht Charters

The sea with seven countries.

The Mediterranean is a biogeographical region that includes the Mediterranean Sea with seven unique countries, including France, Italy, Portugal and Spain, as well as Greece, Malta and Cyprus. The region is famous for charterers and luxury yachts because of its unique climate, hot and dry summers, and its scenic, hilly landscape.

Because of that, the Med is a famous destination for yacht charter holidays. Many people visit the Amalfi Coast in Italy, French Riviera, Balearic Islands in Spain and other destinations perfect for a yacht charter vacation. At 26 North Yachts, we are known for being the one-stop destination where you can book your Mediterranean yacht charter and enjoy a luxurious holiday aboard a stylish motor yacht or sailing yacht.

Enjoying a unique experience on a yacht charter throughout the Mediterranean is the perfect holiday for many people. From the luxurious cities of St Tropex and Monaco, Capri and Porto Cervo to the ancient towns of Dubrovnik, Amalfi, and Palermo, the Med promises a lot of glitz and glamour. While the Eastern Mediterranean boasts a more relaxed lifestyle, the Western side of the Med is where you will find incredible nightlife and plenty of superyachts on the radar.

You probably know many iconic dishes worth trying if you love Mediterranean food. The diverse cuisine is the key to a healthy life and the secret behind the vitality of many Europeans. Typical examples of Mediterranean food from the Eastern part include olives, wheat, grapes, pita, moussaka, greek salad, dolmas, borek, mezze, falafel, shakshuka, and plenty of other recipes.

The provencal cuisine of France and local pasta, lasagna, and other dishes along Italy’s coastline are also among the many gems that the Med possesses. If you like something to pair these foods with, know that grappa and wine are something the Med has in abundance – making your food cravings bigger and each meal better. Now, let’s talk about the best time to visit the Mediterranean.

When to Visit the Mediterranean?

If you want to see this region, know that the Mediterranean charter yachting season starts in late April and runs to the end of October, with July and August being the season’s peak months. The best thing about the Mediterranean is that the climate is warm and sunny, with light winds. Even if you want to avoid tourists, you can pick a Mediterranean yacht and visit some of the best regions during the late spring or early fall seasons.

These are also known as shoulder seasons, where you will get more value and be offered more choices. If you charter in the Mediterranean during the shoulder season and months such as May or September, you will see cheaper Mediterranean offers and how pleasant the weather is. For instance, May offers longer days with more sun, while September is when the sea is at its maximum temperature allowing for more swimming.

The Best Mediterranean Yacht Charter Itineraries

If you are booking your charter yacht holiday and want some inspiration before you visit the open sea, we have prepared many sample itineraries for all locations within the Medi. Our Mediterranean yacht charters roam through all these locations, and our goal is to provide you with all the necessary information for your luxury yachting holiday.

From fine dining to events like the Cannes Film Festival, the best times to visit some Greek islands, protected waters where you can swim, the best times to expect calm seas, where you can see ancient ruins, or the best places to try incredible food, these itineraries are based on the number of days you plan to charter in the Mediterranean and the specific locations and countries you are looking to visit.

By Katia Damborsky   Last Updated: 21 March 2023

The Mediterranean is calling, and to help you have the best yacht charter vacation this summer, we've rounded up all the insider secrets, stand-out itineraries and hand-picked recommendations across all the most popular charter destinations for 2024. 

From the golden beaches of the Balearics to the glamorous shores of Italy , the Mediterranean is home to a treasure trove of popular superyacht spots. If you're looking to book a yacht charter vacation in the Mediterranean for 2024,  it can be daunting to know where to begin. 

But with the help of brokers and yachting experts, we've put together our ultimate edit of the top destinations to visit by superyacht in the Mediterranean . Packed with tips and first-hand recommendations, our guide will give you the complete low-down to ensure you get the most from your vacation.

Best time to visit: June-September

The hedonistic hotspot of Ibiza has had a shakeup in the last few years. Sure, you can still go for the epic nightlife and parties, but dedicate a few days of your superyacht vacation to exploring the burgeoning health and wellness scene that’s sweeping the White Isle.

Drop anchor at Playa d’en Bossa, then head to Beachouse for a sunrise yoga session on the sand. Lunch calls for a trip to ROTO in the marina, offering stunning views of the motor yachts in the harbour, and out over the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Dalt Vila.

Dedicate a few days of your Ibiza superyacht vacation to exploring the burgeoning health and wellness scene

Spend the afternoon cruising around the rocky island outcrop of Es Vedra to experience its magnetic lure, then round off the day at Blue Marlin for a dose of Balearic beats. And of course, you’d be remiss not to add Beso Beach to your itinerary; this beach bar-restaurant is an Ibizan staple that sits just a stone’s throw from Ses Illetes in Formentera. Expect nothing but good vibes and cool crowds.

Our Favourite Ibiza Itineraries:

Don’t miss: The Mojito Man, who can be summoned to your anchored yacht via a quick Instagram message armed with ingredients to make you a mojito on deck. Clientele includes Cristiano Ronaldo, Leonardo DiCaprio and Wayne Rooney. If it’s good enough for them…

The French Riviera has no shortage of trendy outposts, but  St Tropez  glitters with particular cosmopolitan brilliance.

After a morning exploring its pink streets, cruise over to Pampelonne in time for lunch. Be sure to book ahead for Club 55 , the most iconic venue in the Cote d’Azur, and try and reserve a coveted table in the later lunchtime slot if you’re looking to rub shoulders with Hollywood heavyweights and the A-list elite. 

For some post-lunch entertainment, head to Verde Beach . Expect blast-from-the-past beats and dancing on the tables, as the St Tropez in-crowd transform Verde Beach into the most happening party in Pampelonne. Head back to the main port for dinner- L’Opera has got the ‘the dinner and a show’ concept down to an art.

Our Favourite St Tropez Itineraries:

Don’t miss: The Sunday morning market in Place des Lices . As well as fresh Provencal produce ranging from fruits and vegetables to meats and cheeses, you can also find antiques and vintage fashion pieces. Have a cafe creme in the square after the stalls are packed up, and watch the locals enjoy a game of boules.

The Amalfi Coast

Synonymous with romance, culture and rustic charm, the Amalfi Coast is one of the darlings of the Mediterranean. This region is worth a visit for those in search of timeless beauty, proper Italian dining and UNESCO-listed heritage.

Evening aperitifs are best enjoyed at Le Sirenuse

Begin on the south side of the coast with a trip inland to Ravello, a medieval village that sits at dizzying heights above the sea- take a walk around the gardens of Villa Rufolo , then enjoy a meal at Palazzo Avino overlooking the mountains and the sea.

Evening aperitifs are best enjoyed at Le Sirenuse , a chic hotel in Positano decked out in colourful majolica tiles with a terrace that offers unbeatable views over the town. Then, be sure to head down to the commune of Nerano to dine at one of two celebrity-approved restaurants; Lo Scoglio da Tommaso and La Conca del Sogno .

Our Favourite Amalfi Itineraries:

Don’t miss: A cruise to Capri. This little island is steeped in beauty and history, with plenty of villas which you can visit and natural attractions such as the Blue Grotto and La Faraglioni .

The Cyclades, Greece

Best time to visit: june-october.

Scattered across the Mediterranean, the islands of Greece are ideal for exploring by boat. Set course for the Cyclades, where gems like Santorini and Mykonos are as alluring as ever.

If you’ve only got one day to spend in Santorini, we recommend a trip to Akrotiri for a look at an ancient Greek settlement, and Santo Wines , for a taste of the region’s finest vino overlooking the famous caldera.

Mykonos is set to be equally popular this summer, with the beach clubs buzzing and the picturesque bays studded with shiny superyachts. Head to Nammos for beachside dining, luxury shopping and partying among celebrities. If you're looking to spend a day on shore, Cavo Tagoo is the place to be: caves carved into the chalky cliffs create a remarkably pretty setting. 

Afterward, you should head over to Delos to take in the sights of these wondrous archeological ruins, which date back to 300 BC. Rich in mythological significance, this UNESCO-listed island offers a fascinating insight into the country's history and culture.

Our Favourite Greek Itineraries:

Don't miss:  A trip to the island of Milos, just 85 nautical miles outside of Santorini. An up-and-coming hotspot, visitors have gone wild for the island's flourishing food scene, volcanic beach and clear blue sea.

Best time to visit: May-September

You’d be forgiven for mistaking Sardinia ’s sugar sand and pellucid blue sea for a slice of Caribbean paradise. Set adrift from the Italian mainland, this island has it all; come for the luxury retail, stay for the swimming, snorkelling and beachside bliss. 

The eastern coast is where you'll find most of the island's famous beaches

Visiting superyachts make a beeline for Hotel Cala di Volpe , a celebrity-approved hotel on the waterfront with private moorings available for the ultimate convenience. Enjoy a relaxed lunch on the terrace or an evening meal alfresco; the service is slick, the staff are friendly, and if you choose to spend a night on shore they’ll be more than happy to accommodate you.

Down the eastern coast of the island is where you'll find most of the island's famed beaches. Consistently voted among the best in Europe, they're all simple and straightforward to access from your yacht, and promise a relaxing day of swimming and soaking up the sunshine. Among the best is Cala Goloritze .

Our Favourite Sardinian Itineraries:

Don’t miss: For a beach party with a difference, Phi Beach is still the destination of choice for the SuperyachtSet. Take a tender straight up to the shore and while away the day drinking, dancing and dining.  

Sitting on the eastern tip of Croatia's coast, Dubrovnik is ideal for those looking to take some time out to recharge and enjoy the delights of discovering a new city. Bordered by sparkling Adriatic water, Dubrovnik is known for its Gothic architecture, dramatic terrain and buildings capped by baked clay-red rooves. 

The pace of life is slower in the city, so be sure to take some time to walk the stone streets and soak up the charms of Croatia . Trees grow everywhere, infusing the air with the scent of sweet figs and bitter oranges, for which Dubrovnik is renowned. 

If you're visiting during summer, you'd be remiss not to check out the Dubrovnik Summer Festival . This celebration of classical musical sees the city come to life with music and art, with plenty of concerts and recitals on the schedule. 

Our Favourite Dubrovnik Itineraries:

Don't miss: A trip to Mljet , a small island just a short cruise north of Dubrovnik. Ask your yacht crew to get the water toys out, and spend an afternoon kayaking and paddleboarding in the clear waters. 

Best time to visit: May-October

Turkey's Turquoise Riviera has long been popular among private yachts, but recently we've seen an upswing in the demand for yacht charters in the region as well. Fethiye is one of the most popular spots to charter , as it provides access to tiny islands too small to name, sky-blue lagoons and secret coves where you drop anchor and swim straight up to the shore for lunch.

Fethiye is one of the most popular spots to charter in Turkey

Speaking of food, you should pay a visit to Lebessos Winehouse during your trip. Housed in a 400-year old stone cottage in the town of Kayakoy (which has been deserted since 1923) this restaurant is the gourmet dining leader of Fethiye. The venue earns extra points for its taxi service, saving you the hassle of booking a transfer.

The service is friendly and accommodating and the local cuisine is authentic and perfectly-prepared- opt for tender lamb kleftiko, levissi chicken with chilli yogurt or honey-drenched figs. Plus, the restaurant has its own wine cellar where you can sample the local wines of Turkey.

Our Favourite Fethiye Itineraries:

Don't miss:  The Blue Lagoon of Oludeniz , where you can relax in the sand or spend some time playing with water toys.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Your Ideal Yacht Charter Service

A re you dreaming of gliding through the crystal-clear waters under the endless blue sky? Do you crave the freedom of charting your course across the open sea, with the only sound being the gentle slap of waves against your yacht's hull? If your soul yearns for the ultimate adventure on the waters, then a yacht charter service could be your beacon in the night.

It's not just the rich and famous who charter yachts anymore. The popularity of yacht rental Dubai has soared as more people seek to escape to the seas for a vacation that's a cut above the rest. But with the plethora of options available, choosing the right yacht charter service can seem as daunting as navigating the high seas in a storm. Fear not, as this ultimate guide will steer you towards selecting the yacht charter service that perfectly suits your needs and dreams.

Understanding Yacht Charter Services

Before you set sail, it's important to understand what yacht charter services are and the unique experiences they offer. A yacht charter is essentially renting a yacht for a period, along with its crew if you opt for a crewed charter, to explore your chosen waters.

From the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, and the Pacific to the Indian Ocean, yacht charters can take you virtually anywhere there's water. You can choose to relax and enjoy the pampering of a luxury yacht, or you might prefer the challenge of captaining your own course on a smaller, bareboat charter.

Types of Yacht Charters

Yacht charters come in various flavors, each tailored to different tastes and levels of experience.

Bareboat Charters

The purest form of sailing freedom, bareboat charters, are for seasoned sailors who want to be the masters of their destiny. You'll be responsible for the yacht's navigation, steering, and safety, and must possess sufficient experience and qualifications.

Crewed Charters

If you fancy a hands-free vacation where all you need to do is relax, eat, and explore, a crewed charter is for you. You can choose the level of service with a crewed charter, from a skippered yacht where the captain takes the helm, to a fully crewed luxury liner with chefs and waitstaff to cater to your every whim.

Luxury Charters

For the ultimate indulgence, luxury charters offer opulent accommodations, fine dining, and a service level that rivals the best hotels. These charters often include amenities like on-board spas, private beaches, and a fleet of water toys to play with. A dinner cruise Dubai offers an unforgettable evening of gourmet dining, unparalleled views of the illuminated skyline, and a unique perspective of the city's architectural marvels from the tranquil waters.

Factors to Consider When Booking

When you're ready to book a yacht charter, it's vital to consider the following factors to ensure you select the right service for your needs.

Your budget will largely dictate the type of yacht charter available to you. Remember to consider all costs, including the charter fee, fuel, mooring fees, food, and any extra activities or services you might want to include.

Destination

Where you want to sail is a significant decision. It could be a serene bay in the Mediterranean, a bustling port in the Caribbean, or a remote island in the South Pacific. Consider the season, too—some regions are best visited during specific months to enjoy the most favorable weather.

Yacht Size and Type

Consider the number of people in your party and the type of experience you're after. Do you want a sailing yacht or a powerboat? How many cabins will you need? A spacious catamaran might be perfect for larger groups, while a sleek monohull might be more fitting for a romantic escape.

Crew Expertise

The expertise and personality of the crew can make or break your charter experience. Research the charter company you're considering to ensure they employ skilled and congenial staff.

Top Destinations for Yacht Charters

The world is your oyster when it comes to yacht charters, and here are some of the top destinations that entice sea lovers from all corners of the globe.

The Exotic Whitsundays

The Whitsunday Islands in Australia offer a breathtaking array of coral reefs, white sandy beaches, and clear turquoise waters—paradise on Earth.

The Warm Caribbean Seas

The Caribbean has long been a favorite for yacht charters, with its myriad islands offering something for everyone, from the festive lifestyle of Saint Tropez to the tranquility of the British Virgin Islands.

The Rich Culture of the Mediterranean

Sailing the Mediterranean promises a blend of history, culture, and luxury. You can hop between the ancient ports of Greece, the chic French Riviera, and the rugged coastline of Croatia.

Preparing for Your Yacht Charter Adventure

With your yacht charter booked and your destination selected, the final step is preparation. Here are some tips to ensure you're ready for the adventure of a lifetime.

Plan Your Itinerary

While spontaneity has its charms, having a rough itinerary will optimize your time and ensure you don't miss out on any must-see spots or events in your chosen destination.

Pack Wisely

Space is precious on a yacht, so pack light, and pack right. Comfortable, practical clothing and footwear are a must, along with essentials like sunscreen, hats, and gear for water activities.

Know the Rules of the Sea

Familiarize yourself and your party with the sailing regulations of your destination. This will ensure a safe and legal voyage and help prevent any unexpected surprises.

By meticulously going through the selection process and diligently preparing for your voyage, you can turn your yacht charter into the adventure of a lifetime. Whether you're seeking the solitude of the open sea, the serenity of a remote island, or the sophistication of a coastal city, the right yacht charter is waiting to whisk you away to your watery dreams. Bon voyage!

34-year-old's summer side hustle is working as a private chef on yachts—she earned over $15,000 last year

By morgan smith,cnbc • published august 17, 2024 • updated on august 17, 2024 at 9:24 am.

Kesi Irvin 's summer side hustle has taken her across the world. 

The New Jersey native is paid to sample gelato in Italy, jet ski in the Mediterranean and walk through open-air markets in Croatia. 

Between June and August, Irvin, 34, works as a private chef on yachts sailing in Europe. This summer, she's been hired on five charters, each spanning one week. 

24/7 New York news stream: Watch NBC 4 free wherever you are

"It's been such a fun way to see the world," says Irvin, a full-time travel blogger and digital nomad.

Irvin is on track to earn more than $10,000 once the season ends — last year, she made about $15,000, according to financial documents reviewed by CNBC Make It .

Quitting a career on Wall Street to be a digital nomad

Irvin planned to spend her career on Wall Street — not traveling the world. 

Trump, Harris inflation arguments are questionable, Chicago Fed president says

How scammers convince Americans to drain their life savings into crypto fraud schemes

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 2012, she moved to New York to work as a financial analyst. 

But "there was not much work-life balance at all" working on Wall Street. "I started to really crave the life aspect," Irvin says.

In 2015, she quit her job intending to take a one-year career break to travel the world. 

That one year turned into two, then three, and now Irvin continues to live and work in different countries, taking breaks in between her travels to stay with her parents in Bluffton, South Carolina. 

She started working on yachts in 2015 to fund her adventures abroad. 

Her travel blog, "Kesi To and Fro," has 17,000 followers on Instagram and now serves as Irvin's main source of income — but for the first few years she traveled, Irvin relied on her savings and earnings from her culinary side hustle. 

Landing a yacht job with no experience

Irvin applied for her first seasonal job at Yacht Week, a company that hosts week-long sailing trips in the Mediterranean and Caribbean Seas, in 2015, a few months after being a guest on one of their charters. 

"I had zero professional cooking experience, but I said in my application that I was a great home chef and a quick learner," she says.

As luck would have it, Yacht Week had a crew member pull out of a charter one week before departure — and called Irvin to fill in. 

She worked as a charter host, planning and cooking meals, cleaning the kitchen and entertaining the 10 guests aboard. On most charters, Irvin says she's working in a two-person crew: It's her and a skipper, who captains and operates the boat.

That first job quickly led to other opportunities: Irvin says guests recommended her to their yacht-owning friends, and the other crew members at Yacht Week introduced her to Facebook groups and online job boards for seasonal boat jobs.

'It's nothing like 'Below Deck'

Irvin continues to work as a yacht chef with Yacht Week, The BucketLust and other private yacht charter companies during the summer months. 

She follows the same routine for most charters, waking up at 7 a.m. and working from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. every day. 

Preparing meals for a large group in a tight boat kitchen requires a lot of "creativity, patience, and thinking on your feet," says Irvin. 

For some trips, they're docking in a new city every day, so she can find a local bakery, grocery store or farmer's market and buy fresh fruit, meat and fish. But on other charters, she has to purchase all the ingredients and supplies she needs for the week on the first morning. 

In those instances, Irvin says she will freeze meats to give them a longer shelf life and use more non-perishable foods like pasta and rice as boats have limited fridge and pantry space.

Some of the most popular meals she's made for guests, she says, include tuna poke bowls and brunch spreads of pancakes, eggs and bacon paired with a bloody mary bar.

In the afternoons and evenings, Irvin says she will explore whatever city they're docked in, whether it's by renting a moped or grabbing coffee at a local café.

Irvin is often asked if her job is similar to that of the crew on "Below Deck," a Bravo reality series that chronicles the lives of the crew members who work on a superyacht. 

"It's nothing like 'Below Deck,'" she says. "We're not working 24-7 or siloed from the guests, it's more relaxed, we're encouraged to fraternize with them and make sure they have a positive experience."

The finances of being a digital nomad

Irvin says working on yachts has been a "nice complement" to her full-time job.

As a travel blogger, Irvin has multiple streams of income including group trips she organizes and hosts; paid travel writing; affiliate marketing, brand collaborations and ad revenue from her website. Those different income streams can earn Irvin anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000 a year, according to financial documents reviewed by CNBC Make It.

But earning a decent, reliable income as a content creator can be a slog, she adds. "It's nice to have a consistent, secure job to fall back on," Irvin says of her culinary side hustle. "And I have zero expenses when I'm working on the yacht, so I'm saving money while I'm earning."

If you want to get paid while traveling the world and are half-decent in the kitchen, the gig "couldn't be an easier sell," says Irvin. "You get to live on a boat, catch a nice tan, make friends from different countries … it might be tiring, but it's not a hard job once you get the hang of it."
