The 2024 Mediterranean Charter Guide

Discovering hidden coves in the Balearics and the Greek Islands. The best vessels for privacy.

August is peak season, but privacy is still possible if you know where to go. This year, we directed many clients towards the lesser-known islands of the Cyclades and the hidden coves of Menorca.

The Wellness Trend

The trend for 2024 was 'wellness afloat'. Clients are demanding yachts equipped with full spas, gyms, cryotherapy chambers, and dedicated yoga instructors. We sourced the 72-meter M/Y 'Serenity' for a client, which features a full wellness deck.

Destination: The Cyclades

While Mykonos remains popular for the party scene, we encouraged clients to explore Milos and Folegandros. These islands offer dramatic landscapes and crystal-clear waters without the crowds. Dropping anchor in Kleftiko Bay in Milos for a private lunch is an unforgettable experience.

Destination: Menorca

The quiet sister of Mallorca and Ibiza. It is understated luxury. Mahón harbour is spectacular. We recommended the Hauser & Wirth gallery on Isla del Rey as a cultural excursion—arriving by the gallery's private shuttle boat.

Insider Tip

Provisions matter. We flew in Wagyu beef from Japan and vintage wines from Bordeaux to stock the yachts before the guests arrived, ensuring the onboard dining rivaled any Michelin-starred restaurant on land.
