Mediterranean Yacht Charter – Why choose the Med?

With Europe to the north and Africa to the south, the Mediterranean Sea, often referred to as the ‘Med’, is a haven for sailing holidays and Mediterranean yacht charter. Although connected to the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean is almost entirely surrounded by land, creating an abundance of beautiful coastal towns located in some of the most stunning countries on the planet. These include France, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Greece and Monaco just to name a few. Just as popular are some of the islands, including Ibiza, Menorca, Mallorca, Santorini and Corfu. The Mediterranean is a key global sailing location and is home to major international boat shows such as Cannes Yachting Festival and the Mediterranean Yacht Show.

The boats for charter in the Mediterranean include:

• Yachts
• Motorboats
• Sailboats
• Catamarans
• RIBs
• Jet-Skis
• Sailing Yachts
• Motor-Yachts

How much does it cost to charter a yacht in the Mediterranean?

The price of Mediterranean Boat Charter can vary greatly depending on the type, size and age of the boat, the destination and the length of the charter. Prices also vary depending on the time of year that you hire a boat in the Mediterranean: demand is higher in the summer (high-season) and as such prices are higher than too. With Click&Boat you can hire a boat that perfectly fits your needs from as little as €100 / day up to €2500 / day for a more luxurious experience. If you intend on renting a boat for a longer period of time and sleeping on board then you can expect to pay from €650 / week in the low season or  €1500 / week in the high season up to €17500 / week.

Chartering a Yacht in the Mediterranean

Click&Boat have thousands of boats and yachts available for rental in the Mediterranean, including catamarans and motorboats, as well as luxury yachts and sailboats. Some of the most popular sailing destinations in the Mediterranean are Spain, Italy and Greece. The Mediterranean is particularly popular for sailing holidays because of the proximity between beautiful, sun-kissed locations. You can go island hopping around Greece and Italy, or stay in one location for a week and spend your days visiting secluded beaches and coves.

When is the best time to visit the Mediterranean?

The high-season in the Mediterranean typically runs from May to the end of August, with July and August being by far the most popular and busy times of the year. With this in mind, it is often a good idea to avoid July and August and instead plan your trip for either side of the high-season. May and June or September and October are the best times to visit the Mediterranean because the weather is still sunny, the waters are warm, and the crowds are fewer. For sailing specifically, Spring is the best as the waters are calmer, but the sun is still shining. If we were to suggest one time of the year to take your sailing holiday, it would be during May and June.

What is included in a yacht rental in the Med?

Yacht charters in the Mediterranean vary considerably in boat type, length of time and price of the charter. For those who have a sailing licence, bareboat charters are available and for those who don’t then you can hire a yacht that comes with a skipper and even a crew. It is completely normal to hire a boat through Click&Boat that includes a captain to tour you through the waters, and lots of our listings include added or optional extras too. From snorkelling and diving equipment to jet-skis and wakeboards.
