Where to go on your 2021 private yacht charter
Choose between Croatia with its 1,000 islands and incredibly well-preserved old cities, the gloriously bio-diverse and sunny Costa Rica, or enchanting Thailand, where friendly smiles offer the warmest of welcomes.
Croatia: The land of a thousand islands
One of Europe’s fastest-growing private yacht rental destinations, Croatia has a beautiful and unspoiled coastline, stunning medieval cities and some 1,246 islands, islets, and reefs to discover.
Dubrovnik, known as the Pearl of the Adriatic, has an exquisite walled city packed with Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque churches and monasteries, its cobbled streets lined with boutiques and restaurants. A walk around its ramparts offers unforgettable views.
Medieval Split is Croatia’s second-largest city, known for its Roman churches and well-preserved palaces, but it’s also a jumping-off point for the beautiful islands of Hvar, Vis, and Brac, where you can anchor in secluded bays and enjoy wonderful beaches and water sports.
The uninhabited Kornati Islands, a national park, are a favourite for private yacht charters thanks to their beautiful coastlines, lunar landscapes and striking cliffs. They also have numerous pristine beaches, suitable for young families.

Costa Rica: Luscious and bio-diverse
Rugged Costa Rica is one of the world’s most biodiverse countries and a growing centre for ecotourism, covered in rainforests, hot springs and active volcanoes. Thanks to its world-class marinas it is also becoming a favourite destination for private yacht charter.
Head to the mystic cloud forests of Monteverde or the hot springs of the active volcano Arenal, a short helicopter ride from the coast. Thrillseekers will love white water rafting or kayaking in its fast-flowing rivers, or enjoy heading to the skies by zipline, sky tram tours or on hanging bridges.
Beach lovers can choose between the Pacific and the Caribbean, just three hours apart by road, and there are some 600 beaches with relatively few tourists. Keen surfers will enjoy the famous surfing breaks of the Nicoya Peninsula, while nature-lovers can hike through the Corcovado National Park, which stretches right out to the sea.

Thailand: Land of smiles
Thailand, and in particular Phuket, with its sandy beaches, tall palm trees and deep blue waters, is the gateway for private yacht rental in south-east Asia and the Indian Ocean. Here you can dive, snorkel and swim in the warm waters teeming with marine life, exploring hidden coves, beautiful bays and idyllic untouched islands home to monkeys and exotic birds.
From Phuket, head north to experience white sandy beaches and excellent scuba diving, or even cruise through the emerald Andaman Sea towards Myanmar or the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Alternatively, head south past islands of towering limestone and lush forests and even on to Malaysia and Indonesia.
