The Land of the Gods offers hundreds of quiet anchorages

As anyone who has enjoyed a bareboat vacation can attest, it is hard to beat two or three weeks on a sail boat charter in the summertime. Sure, it’s great to escape the cold weather for a few days with a Caribbean yacht charter in the winter or spring, but somehow, it’s just not the same as a summer vacation. School’s out, the kids are home for several weeks, and the chance to bask in the sun for an extended stay is the epitome of total relaxation.

Nowhere is the idea of extended rest and relaxation more evident than in the Greek islands. Here, in the ancient lands of the Gods, it sometimes seems as if time stands still.

A Greek yacht charter adventure features a wide array of itineraries with a heavy emphasis on the sheer pleasure of sailing in a locale so steeped in history and yet so amenable to the sailor looking for all the luxuries and convenience of the modern world.

The shimmering waters, superlative beaches, and intriguing towns and villages make Greece a must-visit summer destination.

While Procida is less well-known than its glamorous neighboring islands of Ischia and Capri, its mainland location makes it the ideal starting point for a bareboat charter to the Pontine Islands or along the Amalfi Coast.

Located in the Tyrrhenian sea within 50 miles of Italy’s west coast and just a one-hour cruise from
Naples, the Pontine Islands are only accessible by sea.  They remain relatively unknown, thus
making this archipelago ideal for an authentic Italian holiday on a monohull or catamaran bareboat.

The Pontine Islands include Ponza, Palmarola, Zannone, Ventotene, Santo Stefano, the small island of Gavi, and the solitary rock of la Botte, offering a variety of coastal conditions, with rock outcroppings, dockside villages, and small Mediterranean yacht charter ports.

Sail charter enthusiasts will enjoy mild climates, flourishing gardens, and fragrant citrus groves.  The waters are clear and perfect for summer snorkeling, especially in Palmarola. There are numerous coves and inlets – enough to fill a week or more with exploration possibilities. Walking shoes are a must – as there are many historical ruins and nature trails for hiking.

The marina at Corricella is a perfect overnight anchorage, at the edge of a postcard, picture-perfect fishing town, surrounded by nets and fishing boats. Only attainable by sea, there are no vehicles here. The village faces due southeast and is sheltered from all other sides by the cliff behind. A long ridge of rocks protects the marina from the occasional southeasterly wind (Scirocco).

What could be better than a monohull or catamaran sail yacht rental along the Amalfi coast, with its magnificent stretch of mountainous coastline and small fishing villages?  The charter base in Procida is sure to grow in popularity.  It is hard to imagine a more authentic slice of Italian coastal life.

An excellent sail monohull yacht for consderation is the Sun Odyssey 39i, featuring 3 cabins and 2 heads. Twin steering positions with winches placed near the helms provide easy sail handling. For safety, with a dedicated life raft locker integrated into the stern skirt, the Sun Odyssey 39i truly represents the next generation of yachts.

Whether you prefer well-equipped marinas, sheltered ports in centuries-old Dalmatian coastal villages, or the peace and tranquility of anchoring in an idyllic bay with a rustic shoreside restaurant, a Croatia bareboat charter offers an abundance of choices.

Map of Croatia

Here are five favorite Croatian ports of call:

1. Opat, Kornati Island.  This island is known for its stark wilderness and natural beauty. For easy mooring, try the southeast end of the island, in the Kornati National Park. Here, you’ll find two seafood restaurants, in what can best be described as a lunar landscape setting.  Hikers can enjoy an energetic walk in Kornati National Park up a signed path to the top of the nearby hills, where they will be rewarded with a spectacular view of the surrounding islands.

2. Uvala Vinogradisce, Sv Klement Island – Anchorage is best on the south coast of Sv Klement Island, just a short sail from the town of Hvar.  This is a scenic anchorage with great restaurants. Talk a short walk over the hill to a small marina on the north side of the narrow island where you can board a boat taxi into Hvar town.  This shuttle boat avoids the hustle and bustle of Hvar’s busy town marina.

3. Pucisca, Brac Island – Here you’ll find a well-equipped town harbor at the head of a deep bay on the north coast of the island. This is an upscale town built on the riches of its stone quarry industry.  Pucisca is a prosperous community where even the street lights are made from the white Brac stone, famous for its use in the construction of the White House in America. The village economy does not depend on tourism, so you’ll enjoy a taste of real Croatia.

4. Polace, Mljet – Here you’ll find a spacious and safe anchorage at the west end of the north coast of Mljet Island. Lush vegetation and spectacular scenery are everywhere on what is considered one of the most pristine Dalmatian islands. You’ll also find easy access to the salt water lakes and the magnificent scenery of the island’s National Park.

5. Lopud Village, Lopud Island – Time to enjoy a sandy, uncrowded beach. Lopud is one of the Elaphite Islands lying just off Dubrovnik and the Peljesac Peninsula. The village has cobblestone streets, a great sandy beach, and a reasonably well-sheltered anchorage, with minimal tourism traffic. Only a handful of cars are permitted on the island, adding to the serene splendor.

Spend a day or two at any of these enchanted islands and you’ll quickly realize why Croatia is the hottest summer yachting destination in the world.
