West Mediterranean
Overview
The West Mediterranean offers the ultimate blend of glamour, culture, and natural beauty. Cruise along the French Riviera past Monaco and Cannes, explore the rugged calanques of Marseille, discover the Aeolian Islands of Sicily, or sail the Balearic Islands of Spain. This is Europe's most celebrated sailing ground.
Areas & Highlights
French Riviera & Monaco
The French Riviera — La Côte d'Azur — is synonymous with glamour, sun, and the very finest in Mediterranean living. From the Belle Époque grandeur of Nice and the billionaire's playground of Monaco to the film-star allure of Cannes and the quieter fishing village charm of Antibes, this coastline has captivated the world's elite for over a century.
Amalfi Coast
UNESCO-listed and breathtakingly beautiful, Italy's Amalfi Coast is one of the world's most dramatic coastlines where mountains plunge sheer into the Tyrrhenian Sea, and pastel-coloured villages cling impossibly to cliff faces.
Sardinia & Corsica
Sardinia's Costa Smeralda — the Emerald Coast — is Europe's most exclusive yacht charter destination with translucent aquamarine water and granite rock formations. Just across the Strait of Bonifacio, Corsica offers a wilder, more dramatic contrast with jagged mountain peaks.
Balearic Islands
The four Balearic Islands — Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca, and Formentera — offer wildly different experiences within a short sail of each other, from legendary nightlife to dramatic mountain scenery and pristine white sand beaches.
Italian hill towns
Italy's hill towns from Portofino and the Cinque Terre villages on the Ligurian coast to the islands of Capri, Ischia, and Ponza offer a romantic vision that can only truly be savoured by arriving by sea.
Beach Clubs & Nightlife
The Western Mediterranean is the glamorous heart of yacht culture. From St Tropez's legendary beach clubs to Ibiza's sunset bars and Capri's chic lidos, the region offers the world's most refined shoreside social scene — by day and by night.
