Island-Hopping Adventures: The Best Destinations to Explore by Yacht

If you’d like to explore some of the world’s most beautiful, untouched island destinations, then chartering a yacht is an obvious way forward. With the help of the right vessel, you’ll be able to decide your own itinerary and stay in whichever parts of the sea you like for as long as you like. Depending on the yacht, you might also be able to enjoy special facilities and experiences while you’re in the water, too.

But exactly which destinations will appeal the most to would-be island-hoppers? Let’s consider some of the best.

The Greek Islands: A Mythical Adventure

Greece is a nation that’s largely composed of small islands. There are more islands here than you could hope to include in a single voyage, and so it’s worth establishing a few priorities. Mykonos is best for nightlife and beaches, while Paros is excellent for watersports. Santorini is a popular island, but Paxos and Antiparos might provide a chance to venture from the beaten track. You’ll find secluded coves and beaches, perfect for settling down and relaxing. 

The Caribbean: Tropical Paradise Awaits

The Caribbean enjoys a deserved reputation as a tropical paradise. You can move from various iconic resorts, like St. Lucia, the British Virgin Islands, and Antigua. During your stay, you’ll want to explore the various coral reefs that are dotted around the region, many of which are accessible only via a chartered yacht. Snorkelling and scuba diving are fantastic ways to see some of the beautiful creatures that live here – and you might also enjoy some of the cultural experiences available on dry land. Whatever your priorities are this part of the world has something to offer.

The Dalmatian Coast: Croatia’s Hidden Treasures

The Adriatic is home to some of the most picturesque islands in the Mediterranean, many of which are to be found just off Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast. Hvar, Korčula, and Vis variously offer incredible Spanish fortresses, mediaeval towns, and wine tours. If you have your vessel, however, you can steer clear of these places during peak tourist season, and explore some of the quieter islands that line the coast.

The Maldives: Exclusive and Serene

The tourist appeal of the Maldives can be more or less defined by its peacefulness and the incredible diversity of marine life in the region. You’ll be able to stay at luxury resorts, with cabins on stilts sitting directly atop the water itself. Experienced divers might also explore the water nearby – with some of the prime sites for diving being reachable only via yacht.

The Seychelles: Nature at Its Best

Like the Maldives, the Seychelles is perfect for those looking to meet some of the world’s rarest and most beautiful sea creatures. Your tour of the region might take you to islands like Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue – and across some of the world’s most pristine beaches, coves, and special reserves that are teeming with wildlife.

Scotland’s Inner Hebrides: Island-Hopping Close to Home

Your yachting adventure needn’t take you to the tropics. There are impressive islands closer to home. Among the best of them are to be found among the Hebrides, including Skye, Mull and Iona. The former offers an array of rugged hiking routes, and peerless views – but, if you have your own yacht, you’ll find it easier to visit some of the more remote islands, which are often just as beautiful – though markedly less crowded.

We’ve run through some of the world’s most appealing archipelagos. A holiday in any of them is almost certain to be memorable – but with the help of the right yacht charter, you can make it even better. You’ll get an experience that’s more flexible, more private, and that affords you access to experiences and destinations that can’t be reached through other means.
