The most beautiful charter destinations for your sailing holiday
Every sailing destination has its own unique character, atmosphere and experiences. Here you will find an overview of our most beautiful destinations:
- Croatia, Greece, Italy, Türkiye, Spain, Slovenia, the Netherlands & the Caribbean
Croatia, island hopping and summer at its best
Sit in a sleepy harbour café in the morning, enjoy your first swim stop under sail just two hours later, and dive straight into the sea from the yacht. In Croatia, lively old towns, secluded bays and small konobas right by the water are often only a few nautical miles apart. This relaxed island hopping is exactly what makes the region perfect for a summer cruise.

Greece, sailing in its purest form
Between whitewashed houses, charming harbour villages and turquoise waters, you will experience a sailing area that has captivated sailors for generations. Swim in secluded bays by day, sail leisurely from island to island, and spend the evening together in a small taverna by the harbour. Many say: nowhere does sailing feel more authentic.

Italy, dolce vita under sail
Fresh espresso in the morning, Mediterranean harbours, small fishing villages and pasta by the water, Italy combines sailing with a true joy of life. Anyone who has dropped anchor off Sardinia or along the Amalfi Coast will instantly understand why sailors return again and again.
Experience Bella Italia
Türkiye, warm hospitality and peaceful bays
In Türkiye, relaxed sailing meets outstanding cuisine, balmy evenings and coastlines that are often accessible only from the water.
Sail along historic shores by day, discover ancient sites and swim in turquoise bays. It is precisely this combination that makes Türkiye so special. Many crews come for the ideal sailing conditions and fall in love with the country’s cuisine and hospitality.
When the Meltemi eases in the evening and the excursion boats return to harbour, the bays become wonderfully quiet. That is when the finest part of the day begins: sharing a meal, enjoying good company and watching the sun set over the sea.
Discover Türkiye
Spain, sailing from Palma de Mallorca
Spain is also one of the most sought after destinations for a sailing holiday. From Palma de Mallorca, sailors can explore the stunning Balearic Islands with their turquoise bays, lively harbour towns and hidden natural anchorages. Whether you prefer relaxed day sails along the Mallorcan coast or longer cruises to Ibiza, Menorca or Formentera, this sailing area captivates with its Mediterranean climate, reliable winds and the perfect blend of relaxation, fine cuisine and maritime charm. Real Club Nautico Marina in Palma de Mallorca is the ideal starting point for varied sailing adventures in the western Mediterranean.
