How to choose the right location

First-time Mediterranean guests often start in the Western Mediterranean — proximity, polish, short passages. Repeat charter guests frequently move eastward to the Greek Islands, Adriatic or Turkish Riviera for space and stillness.

Location + season together

Some grounds are month-sensitive: the Amalfi Coast is best in June and September, the Cyclades in late May, early June and September, the Adriatic through most of the summer. LYC matches location to your dates before the yacht conversation begins.
