Mediterranean · Charter guide

A week in Mediterranean.

The Mediterranean is not one destination. It is many. Balearic islands, the French Riviera, Italy's cliffs, Corsica and Sardinia's clear water, the Adriatic coast and the Greek islands. Each has its own season, wind, harbours and style of charter.

That is why the right first question is not "which yacht?" but "which week, and where?" A family looking for calm water needs a different route from a group that wants beach clubs and late dinners. The best answer often sits in a region you hadn't planned to look at.

AUREVE works across the whole Mediterranean market. We hold no fleet, so we don't push one region or one yacht. We only offer yachts we believe in and know to be of good quality. You tell us the week, the group and the feeling you want. We search across the regions, compare what is really free and come back with a short list. One request. Independent advice. Clear terms.

Where you'll cruise

Every region. One request.

Sample itinerary · 7 days

How a week takes shape.

  1. Day 1

    Arrive and board

    Meet the captain and crew in your start port. A first swim and dinner on board or ashore.

  2. Day 2

    A short first passage

    An easy first day close to base, so everyone settles into life on board.

  3. Day 3

    The headline anchorage

    The place the region is known for: Formentera, Capri, the Lérins islands, Hvar or Mykonos.

  4. Day 4

    A quieter coast

    Away from the crowds. Small coves, snorkelling and a slow day at anchor.

  5. Day 5

    A harbour evening

    A lively port for dinner ashore and an evening out, then back to the yacht.

  6. Day 6

    Your choice

    A free day, planned with the captain around the weather and what the group enjoys most.

  7. Day 7

    Return

    A last swim on the way back, a final dinner, and disembarkation the next morning.

A sample route. Every week is planned with the captain around weather, berths and what your group wants.

When to charter

May to October.

The Mediterranean charter season runs from May to October. May, June, September and early October are the quieter months. The water is warm enough, the harbours are calmer and prices are often easier. Seasons differ by region: Greece and Croatia can stay warm into October, while some summer winds, such as the meltemi in the Aegean, shape routes in July and August.

Peak season is July and August. Demand is highest then, the best yachts go first and some owners only take full weeks with set changeover days. If you want those weeks, book well ahead. Many of the best yachts are reserved months in advance, so serious plans start early.

Late requests can still work. The market keeps moving, and cancellations and gaps between bookings open up all season. When time is short, we search fast and tell you plainly what is really free.

What a week costs

Fee. APA. VAT.

A week in the Mediterranean is built from three parts. The first is the weekly charter fee: the yacht, her crew and her insurance. It moves with the season, the size of the yacht and how in demand she is. Low-season and high-season rates can differ a lot for the same yacht.

The second is the Advance Provisioning Allowance, or APA. It is usually 30–35% of the charter fee, paid before you board and held by the captain. It covers fuel, food, drinks, marina fees and other running costs, all at what they actually cost. You get a full account at the end of the week, and any money left over comes back to you.

The third is VAT where it applies. The rate depends on the flag, the route and the country the charter starts in. Each country, and sometimes each route, has its own rules. We confirm how it applies to your yacht and your plans before you commit. We never guess.

Many guests also tip the crew at the end of the week. It is a choice, not a charge. What you see from us is a clear starting figure and clear terms. The final total depends on your yacht, your dates and how you like to spend the week.

Questions

Mediterranean yacht charter FAQ.

Which Mediterranean destination is best for a yacht charter?

It depends on your week and your group. Ibiza and the Riviera suit guests who want energy, Sardinia and Greece suit those who want clear water and space. Tell us what you want and we will recommend a region.

Can one charter cover more than one country?

Sometimes. The Riviera and Italy, or Corsica and Sardinia, combine well. Rules, distances and the yacht's permissions decide what is possible.

When is the Mediterranean charter season?

Broadly May to October, with peak demand in July and August. Book peak weeks well ahead, as the best yachts go first.

What does a week on a yacht cost?

The weekly charter fee, plus APA of typically 30–35% for running costs, plus VAT where it applies. We give you clear numbers for each yacht we recommend.

Does AUREVE own yachts?

No. AUREVE is independent and holds no fleet. We search the whole market so our advice is about your week, not our inventory.
