Greek Yacht Charter Itinerary: Saronic Islands
Visit the Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters Website
Those islands closest to the Peloponnesian Peninsula, the Greek mainland and Athens, comprise the Saronic Island chain. A charter out of Athens for the Saronic Islands is a very comfortable one week itinerary. The first main island of Aegina can be reached in little over an hour. Generally, a charter of the Saronic Islands is also combined with stopping in attractive harbors on the eastern Peloponnesian coast. Hydra, on the southern end of the Saronic Island chain, has long been a high style hideaway and many movies have been filmed both here and on the other Saronic Island of Spetses. Cars are not allowed on the island of Hydra where transportation is supplied by water taxi, donkeys or your own two feet.

BVI Yacht Charter Itinerary: Wreck of the Rhone
Visit the Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters Website
The Wreck of the RMS Rhone located in the British Virgin Islands between Peter and Salt Island is one of the best shipwrecks available to snorkel or dive in the Caribbean. As the wreck is in relatively shallow waters, anyone snorkeling can see a significant part of the wreck without diving. Those that do dive will enjoy this wreck as the diving depths are shallow, and the wrecked hull remaining has large unencumbered openings, allowing a diver to swim right through the wrecked hull. A snorkel or dive of the RMS Rhone is a nice morning or afternoon crewed yacht charter activity while chartering in the British Virgin Islands.
