Mediterranean Yacht Charter Guide: France, Italy, Greece & Croatia

December 15, 2025

The Mediterranean has long been the world's most iconic yachting playground — a place where elegant coastlines, warm summer seas, and centuries of culture come together in one seamless journey. From the French Riviera to the coastlines of Italy, Greece and Croatia, the region offers incredible variety within short cruising distances. With Supreme Yachts, every itinerary becomes a curated blend of beauty, discovery and refined comfort.

The Essence of Mediterranean Cruising

What makes the Mediterranean so special is its rhythm. Days begin with quiet anchorages framed by cliffs or pastel towns, continue with lunches on deck overlooking turquoise bays, and end in marinas filled with restaurants, boutiques and evening life. The region is diverse yet consistently effortless — glamorous in one moment, deeply serene in the next.

Where to Cruise

The French Riviera is the Mediterranean at its most polished. Monaco, Cannes and Saint-Tropez set the tone with vibrant marinas, beach clubs and waterfront dining. Short distances between ports make it ideal for a social, stylish, fast-paced itinerary.

Italy offers two contrasting yachting worlds. The Amalfi Coast delivers dramatic cliffs, famous villages and iconic islands such as Capri. Sardinia, particularly Costa Smeralda and the Maddalena archipelago, is all about translucent water, secluded beaches and a chic summer scene.

Greece is built for island-hopping. The Cyclades — Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Santorini — create a mix of nightlife, natural beauty and Aegean architecture. The Ionian Islands, on the western side of the country, offer a softer landscape with calm seas and lush greenery.

Croatia remains one of the Mediterranean’s most authentic escapes. Historic stone towns, national parks, and quiet anchorages create an itinerary rooted in nature and culture rather than crowds.

When to Travel

The ideal charter season stretches from May to September, with July and August being the liveliest. For a quieter, more exclusive experience, early summer and September often deliver the best balance of weather and atmosphere.

Itineraries Worth Considering

A five-day French Riviera journey might start in Monaco, glide along Cap Ferrat and end with sunset in Saint-Tropez.

A week along the Amalfi Coast could include Capri in the morning, Positano in the afternoon, and Nerano for dinner under the cliffs.

Greece invites longer island-hopping routes — Mykonos to Paros, then onward to Naxos or Santorini.

In Croatia, a Split-to-Dubrovnik voyage reveals Hvar, Vis, Korčula and the peaceful forests of Mljet.

Each route can be adapted to your pace — lively or slow, social or secluded.

Choosing the Right Yacht

Motor yachts are ideal for quick transitions and spacious outdoor living, particularly along Italy and the Riviera. Sailing yachts offer a more organic, traditional way to experience the Greek and Croatian coastlines. For guests who want uncompromising space, stability and amenities — jacuzzis, beach clubs, gyms, wellness zones — superyachts deliver the full Mediterranean lifestyle at sea.

Final Touches That Elevate the Experience

The Mediterranean rewards spontaneity. A quiet bay may become your favourite stop of the entire trip; a last-minute dinner ashore can evolve into a highlight. Blending exclusive marinas with peaceful anchorages creates the perfect balance. And whether dining onboard or stepping into a coastal restaurant, cuisine is always part of the journey.

Your Mediterranean Voyage Awaits

From glamorous evenings on the Riviera to the timeless charm of Greek and Italian coastlines, the Mediterranean offers endless ways to explore in style. Supreme Yachts will craft a personalised itinerary, select the perfect vessel, and shape every detail around the way you want to travel.
