The Mediterranean

Broadly May to September. July and August are the warmest, the busiest and the most expensive; June and September are quieter, the water is still warm and the same yachts are easier to secure.

We list 10 yachts in the Mediterranean, from 21.3 to 55.2 metres — motor yachts and catamarans. They run from Galeon at the compact end to Raja at the top. This page is our own list rather than the whole market — if nothing here fits, a broker will bring you further options.

The yachts we list in the Mediterranean take from 8 to 12 guests, depending on the yacht. Part of that range is deck capacity rather than berths: Galeon is a day charter and sleeps far fewer than she carries. Across the fleet here there are 2–6 cabins.

Both: rates in the Mediterranean are quoted by the week and by the day, depending on the yacht. Tell us the length of charter you want and we will show you only what matches.

Rates in the Mediterranean start from €170,000 per week and €12,000 per day. One yacht is quoted on request. A weekly fee covers the yacht and her crew; fuel, berthing, food and drink are billed separately, usually through an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) of around 30% of the fee. Day rates work differently: fuel and berthing for the agreed route are normally inside the price, with catering and drinks quoted on top.

Every yacht listed in the Mediterranean is currently open for charter. Availability moves quickly in high season — send us your dates and we will confirm them, and suggest comparable yachts if they are gone.

Send us your dates, your party size and a rough idea of the route. A broker replies with availability, a firm quote and a draft itinerary. Weekly charters are contracted on the standard MYBA agreement, with a deposit on signature and a preference sheet — food, drink, allergies, celebrations — before you board.
