Mediterranean
The Mediterranean.
Long lunches ashore, old harbours and a different pace from one coastline to the next.
The region
Several coastlines. Very different weeks.
Greece, Croatia, Italy, the South of France and the Balearics each offer a different kind of charter. I start by narrowing the coastline around the people travelling, the time of year and how they want the week to feel.

One possible week
Athens and the Saronic Gulf.
A straightforward seven-day example in Greece. The route for an actual charter would follow the chosen cruising ground, the conditions and your preferred pace.
- Day 01
Athens to Poros
Settle in, leave the city behind and anchor off Poros for the first evening.
- Day 02
Poros to Hydra
Swim before breakfast, then take the short run to Hydra and go ashore for dinner.
- Day 03
Hydra to Spetses
Spend the day between quiet bays before an evening in Spetses.
- Day 04
Spetses to Dokos
Keep this one simple: clear water, lunch on board and a quiet anchorage.
- Day 05
Dokos to Ermioni
A slower morning, then Ermioni for a walk and dinner ashore.
- Day 06
Ermioni to Aegina
Cruise back towards Athens with one more afternoon in the water.
- Day 07
Aegina to Athens
Breakfast at anchor, a final swim and an easy return to the marina.
Thinking about the Mediterranean?
Tell me who is coming and roughly when. I will come back with a sensible place to start.
