Harbor View, Croatia

Croatia is a gorgeous, unforgettable cruising ground, a favorite of luxury yacht owners, and an island-hopping paradise.

Your private chef and staff could serve up a new wine tasting every evening – just ask! The amazing complex red wines from the Pelsejac peninsula, where there are two geographically-protected appellations for wine production; the variety of rich, fragrant wines from the island of Hvar; the crisp white wines from Korcula Island; and the white wines grown among the limestones on Brac Island (Stonecutter’s Island).

New England Lighthouse

Many of us travel to learn more about the culture and history of different parts of the world. Compared to other countries, America is still a young, fledgling country, which means it has plenty to offer those interested in exploring its roots. When we look back at America’s beginnings, New England was front and center. The area is brimming with colonial history, so it’s a fabulous choice for those looking to explore the past while also enjoying relaxation and vacation fun.

Experiencing colonial America on a crewed yacht charter cruising in New England is one of the best (and most enjoyable) ways to explore this region. It’s also an opportunity to feel like a real colonist traveling by sea from port to port, just as was often done in colonial times. Not to mention, a private charter yacht cruise through New England is the perfect combination of colonial history and modern-day luxury, with as much beach and water time as you desire mixed in. Some travelers may be close enough to drive to a point of departure for a New England charter yacht trip, making it an even more attractive option. But it’s also easy to book a flight, and well worth it, as New England has plenty to offer to charterers from all over the world.

With so much to see and do in each location, we’ve selected a few highlights (with a bit of colonial history) about each stop to give a sense of all that awaits. Even better, we have also included links to additional resources we’ve compiled. Feel free to dig deeper into the stops that really pique your interest. And, of course, we’re here to help you every step of the way to create a truly personalized New England yacht charter vacation.
