A luxury sailboat getaway promises freedom and privacy on the open seas. Set your own pace on a bespoke adventure, whether you want to moor in exclusive marinas, hop between harbour towns or explore hard-to-reach coves. We’ve collated some of the best regions in the world to explore by boat, along with some suggested itineraries to inspire your plans, and can arrange a private jet charter to wherever you’re setting sail from.
Croatia
Begin your luxury sailboat adventure in the medieval city of Dubrovnik, wandering around endless sidestreets of its characterful Old Town. Then hop on your boat and sail to the 13-island Elaphiti archipelago, stopping by the tiny harbour at Sipan and unwinding on a remote sandy beach in Sunj.
After spending the night onboard, journey to Korcula and visit one of Croatia’s prettiest towns. Meet the friendly locals – who insist the famous explorer Marco Polo was originally from the island and will even show you the house where he’s rumoured to have been born – and sample some of the acclaimed local wine.
From Korcula, continue through the Dalmatian archipelago to Hvar with its bustling marina and tranquil inlets. Next up is Vis’ rugged southern coast, stopping along the way at Stiniva Bay and renowned Srebrna Beach. On the way back to Dubrovnik, drop anchor at the lesser-known island of Lastovo to experience the slow-paced ambiance of a bygone age.
If you’ve booked a private charter with us, there’s no need to rush to the airport upon your return to Dubrovnik. With no crowded commercial terminals and queues, you can arrive moments before departure, maximising your time spent enjoying the city beforehand.

Italy’s Amalfi Coast
Discover the Amalfi Coast’s beautiful islands, pristine beaches, historic landmarks, picturesque ports and ocean views on your private sailboat. Start in Salerno in the Tyrrhenian Sea, which is often considered the Amalfi capital thanks to its many coastal villages and delicious food and wine.
Continue to nearby Sorrento, a cliff-side town overlooking the Bay of Naples, or sail a bit further to the quaint island of Procida with its fragrant lemon groves, vibrant pastel-coloured houses and beautifully preserved architecture. Admire the views from your boat as fishermen arrive with their daily catch.
Sail onwards to the area’s largest island, Ischia, dubbed ‘the island of eternal youth’ because of its hot springs and mud baths. Anchor overnight before heading to the beautiful island of Capri, visiting the famous Blue Grotto cave where the sea glows electric blue.
Discover the region’s namesake town, Amalfi, which is built into a gorge and surrounded by imposing mountains. Disembark to enjoy the bustling piazzas, medieval cathedrals, Roman-style villas and quaint beaches before sailing back to Salerno, where we can arrange pick-up for your private jet charter home.

Bahamas
Sail through the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea while enjoying the Bahamas’ white-sand beaches, incredible snorkelling and colourful cocktails. After settling into your yacht overnight on Nassau, depart for the private island of Highbourne Cay, mooring at the glamorous marina before exploring some of the world’s oldest coral reefs.
Next on your itinerary could be a sail down south to Warderick Wells Cay, the centre of the protected Exumas Land and Sea Park. If you’re feeling adventurous, hike along nature trails to Boo Boo Hill for incredible panoramas or lounge on one of 20 deserted beaches.
Continue to uninhabited Shroud Cay, a secluded slice of paradise that ordinary ferries can’t reach due to thick mangroves and narrow river crossings. The shallow shoreline creates a pristine lake-like environment and the island’s exterior is constantly changing, offering a slightly different landscape every time you visit.
Next up is nearby Norman’s Cay, where you can visit the former headquarters of notorious drug dealer Carlos Lehderin on the island’s southwest point. Before heading home, soak up some last-minute sun and stop off at Highbourne Cay or Allen’s Cay. Contact one of our specialists to book your group or private jet charter today.
Phuket, Thailand
Thailand’s largest island, Phuket, is home to endless idyllic beaches and top-notch cuisine, which you can enjoy before stepping aboard your private boat to sail through the Andaman Sea. After a good night's sleep onboard, beat the crowds and head out early to Phang Nga Bay. Featured in the James Bond movie ‘The Man With The Golden Gun’, here you’ll find hundreds of small islands and fantastic snorkelling beneath the limestone cliffs. Visit the Khao Khien Caves to discover ancient historic drawings and paintings.
Sail to palm-fringed Ao Nang Beach on the island of Krabi, which is backed by luxury resorts, restaurants, shops and bars. Escape the lively crowds at Railay Beach, a sandy haven sheltered from the wind by rock walls, or sail south to Koh Lanta, which is made up of 70 small islands hemmed by white-sand beaches.
Continue to the tropical paradise of Racha or spend time around the Phi Phi Islands, which provided the backdrop for Leonardo Di Caprio’s movie ‘The Beach’. If snorkelling isn’t your thing, climb the cliffs for panoramic views or visit a few restaurants and bars. Contact one of our specialists to book your group or private jet charter today.
Whitsundays, Australia
Scattered through the heart of Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsunday Islands are home to the world’s most spectacular coral reefs. Setting sail from Abell Point Marina, cruise down past Pioneer Point and across the Whitsunday Passage. Gaze at the awe-inspiring Queensland pines lining the island before dropping anchor at Hooks Island for your first night onboard. Keen anglers can even throw out a fishing line to catch dinner.
The next day, you could sail to Bali Hai’s shallow waters for some world-class snorkelling followed by a gourmet picnic in a spot of your choice. In the evening, enjoy one of the famous sunsets at nearby Stonehaven from the comfort of your yacht.
Stop by Saba Bay to explore more of the Great Barrier Reef before heading back to civilisation at Cid Harbour, where you can relax on the beach or hike from Sawmill Beach to the Whitsundays Peak. Then sail on to the resort island of Hamilton, where you’ll find plenty of stores, galleries and restaurants – hire a golf buggy to see as much as you can.
Keep your eyes peeled for humpback whales and dolphins en route to Lindeman Island, where you can book into a luxury resort for the night or enjoy a spa massage. You could even hire a seaplane to view the magnificent landscape from the skies. If there’s time, stop off at Daydream Island to touch baby stingrays and sharks at the man-made lagoon and aquarium.
