Cultural Yacht Charters

Noble Coastal Cities and Island Empires

Plot a course for the historical Mediterranean and delve into thousands of years of human development in the ‘cradle of civilization’. Follow in the wake of ancient Greek and Roman mariners on a sailing vacation to Europe’s cultural hotspots.

Spend warm afternoons cruising the mild Ionian, charming Adriatic, and challenging Aegean, under the watchful gaze of ancient ruins and rich heritage. A cultural sailing vacation lets you step back in time and immerse yourself in the history, myth, and folklore of your chosen sailing destination.

Explore the ancient citadels and spectacular Renaissance palaces of the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik; discover temples, tombs, ruins, and historic sites along Greece’s Saronic Coast; or see an intoxicating fusion of Roman, Greek, Arab, and Norman civilizations of Italy. With so many sites to choose from and destinations to visit, your perfect cultural sailing vacation is right at your fingertips. Seek adventure and discovery on your own on a bareboat charter, or enjoy the sights with others in a flotilla.
