When planning a luxury yacht charter, it’s important to manage your expectations and understand the realities of travel distances in the Mediterranean. Yacht Charter Broker Marcelle Hailwax shares her tips to help you make the best decisions.

Here is What You Should Know

Travel Time & Activities

The distances in the Mediterranean are quite big. For instance, it is over 1000 nautical miles sailing from Split in Croatia to Portofino in Italy. This distance can’t realistically be done within 1 week if you also want time to enjoy local activities on land, like roaming the historical streets of Split or sampling the best pizza in Venice. A yacht charter involves more than just sailing. Consider the time you might want to spend sunbathing, snorkeling, or exploring coastal towns.

Planning and Expectations

While social media might suggest that such trips can be done in a few days, this is not accurate. Planning a comprehensive itinerary across multiple charter areas typically requires more than a week. Work with knowledgeable brokers who understand the specific locations, itineraries, and the best yachts for a more realistic and fulfilling charter experience.

Setting Realistic Goals

If you have limited time, focus on enjoying fewer destinations rather than rushing to cover more ground. This approach allows for a richer, more relaxed yacht charter experience.

“…an incredible experience”

Very professional, communicated clearly and planned an amazing trip for us. Louis Lamprell did an amazing job connecting us with the unbridled yacht and crew. It was a trip of a lifetime. Our family highly recommends both DMA yachting and the unbridled charter. Everything was perfection!

“…this was a trip of a lifetime”

This was a trip of a lifetime! We booked with Nadja at DMA yachting and she made sure the entire process was easy and no problems. Our charter was with Zuri3 and our Captain Andre and First Mate Jana made our trip amazing! They made sure everything was taken care and treated us like royalty. This is not just a vacation this is an experience of a lifetime.

Louis was great from beginning to end and walked me through the whole process. He helped me find a great boat that fit within our time and cost preferences. He explained the differences between the different builds and the pros and cons. Once we selected the boat, he explained and walked me through the whole booking process and answered all my questions. Finally, he checked in with me before, during, and after the charter to make sure everything met our expectations. I can’t recommend Louis enough if you are planning a charter, and I will definitely be in touch for our next trip!
