One of the pleasures of a bareboat Mediterranean yacht charter is the rich diversity of destinations. The Moorings has 11 charter bases throughout the region, delivering a Mediterranean sailing vacation to suit virtually any taste. Sailing itineraries in protected waters with short passages between stops, or itineraries with longer open-water crossings to remote islands and coastlines are both options. World-famous beaches, lively resorts, quiet fishing villages, secluded anchorages, and tantalizing cuisine are among the delights of a Mediterranean yacht charter.
