Yacht Charter Mediterranean

Yacht charter Mediterranean means the exclusive weekly booking of a private, fully crewed yacht — not a cabin on a shared cruise, and not a bareboat rental.

What is included

The base charter fee covers the yacht, its professional captain and crew, insurance and standard equipment on board. Running costs — fuel, food, beverages, marina fees, communications and taxes — are handled separately through an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) or the MYBA plus-expenses model, typically adding 25–35% to the base fee.

Yacht types available

LYC Mediterranean arranges four categories: motor yachts (30–60m) for pace and comfort, superyachts (60m+) for larger groups or extended itineraries, sailing yachts (30–45m) for guests who want time under sail, and catamarans (20–30m) for shaded, sociable weeks in the Cyclades and Adriatic.

Where you can charter

Every major Mediterranean cruising ground is available: the French Riviera and Ligurian coast, Corsica, Sardinia, the Amalfi Coast and Sicily, the Balearic Islands, the Adriatic through Croatia and Montenegro, the Greek Islands, and the Turkish Riviera through to Cyprus.

Luxury vs standard charter

The Mediterranean charter market is fundamentally a premium market — most yachts available for charter are already high-specification, well-crewed and professionally managed. For the more curated end of the market, see our luxury yacht charter Mediterranean page.
