After a miserable Northern European sailing season the prospect of chartering has never been more attractive – Charter World offers Yachting World’s experts’ choice.

Whatever the season there will be a charter destination somewhere in the world where you can almost guarantee sun and good sailing breezes.

In the summer you might try the Mediterranean or go further afield, perhaps to the Pacific or the Australian Whitsunday Islands. In the winter what better way to beat the blues than a week or two in the Caribbean?

Another great attraction of charter is that you can choose at what level you wish to sail. For the less experienced, or for those with small children, it might be a flotilla on a 30-footer in Greece. You might choose a bareboat catamaran in Turkey or the British Virgin Islands or really treat yourself to a fully crewed 80-footer anywhere in the world. And it need not cost as much as you might imagine. You could have a week in the Grenadines with six on a 43-footer for around £800 per person, including flights, or a Greek flotilla for a family of five for little over £400 each.  Charter World, will act as your guide.

Charter locations tend to be in attractive settings. You can get away from the crowds, enjoy 360° panoramas and, if you don’t like the view, just move on to the next bay.
