Mediterranean Yacht Charters,
Done Your Way
From the Adriatic to the Aegean — Waypoints brings its signature charter experience to the world's most storied sailing waters.
The Mediterranean has been drawing sailors for three thousand years, and it’s not hard to understand why. Ancient ports, hidden coves, villages that have barely changed in centuries, food that belongs to wherever you happen to drop anchor, and water that shifts from deep blue to impossible turquoise in a single afternoon.
Through an exclusive partnership with Nautic Alliance — one of the Mediterranean’s most trusted and experienced charter operators — Waypoints now offers seamless access to this extraordinary cruising ground, with the same concierge-level service and meticulous attention to detail that defines every charter we operate.

Mediterranean Charter Destinations
Croatia
A World of Blue Adventures
Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast is among the most celebrated sailing destinations in Europe, a chain of over a thousand islands stretching along a coastline of limestone karst cliffs, pine-scented coves, and walled medieval towns that have survived intact since the Venetian Republic. Sail between Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar, Korčula, and the Kornati Islands; anchor in bays where the water is so clear the anchor chain is visible at fifteen meters; and discover why sailors who visit Croatia once tend to come back every few years for the rest of their sailing lives.
Greece
Ancient Waters, Timeless Beauty
Greece offers a sailing experience that is both deeply historical and effortlessly pleasurable. The Ionian Islands — Corfu, Lefkada, Kefalonia, Ithaca — deliver gentle sailing in protected waters with lush green hillsides and excellent anchorages. The Aegean and the Cyclades — Santorini, Mykonos, Paros, Milos — offer the iconic whitewashed villages, volcanic landscapes, and vivid blue water that define the Mediterranean in the imagination. The Dodecanese, stretching toward Turkey, add ancient ruins and quiet harbors to the mix. Greece has the range to absorb a lifetime of charters and never quite exhaust itself.
Italy
La Dolce Vita, From the Water
Italy’s coastline is an argument for sailing as a way of life. The Amalfi Coast — cliffside villages, lemon groves, and impossibly dramatic scenery — is best seen from a boat, where the scale of the landscape reveals itself in a way that no road can match. The Costa Smeralda in Sardinia offers some of the clearest water and most exclusive anchorages in the entire Mediterranean. The island of Elba, Napoleon’s exile and a sailor’s discovery, has a quiet, well-preserved character that rewards those who take the time. Add the Aeolian Islands, the Pontine Islands, and the Tuscan Archipelago, and Italy offers more sailing variety than most sailors will cover in a decade.
Spain
Mediterranean Flair, Endless Variety
Spain’s Mediterranean coastline combines the sailing conditions of the western Med — reliable winds, warm summers, and a long season — with a cultural richness that gives every port its own personality. The Balearic Islands — Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera — are the region’s most celebrated charter grounds: dramatic limestone cliffs, turquoise coves, and a range of atmospheres from the lively to the genuinely remote. The Costa Brava in Catalonia offers rugged, unspoiled coastline and excellent anchorages within reach of Barcelona. Sail Spain and discover that the country’s reputation for living well extends naturally to life at sea.
Slovenia
The Mediterranean's Best-Kept Secret
Slovenia’s Adriatic coastline is compact — barely 47 kilometers — but its position at the northern tip of the Adriatic makes it one of the most versatile sailing departure points in the region. The charming old town of Piran, with its Venetian architecture and sheltered harbor, is a natural base for charters heading south into Croatian waters or west toward the Italian coast. For sailors who prefer to stay local, the Slovenian coast offers intimate harbors, excellent seafood, and a quietly unhurried pace that is increasingly rare in the more heavily trafficked parts of the Mediterranean.
Netherlands
A Sailing Experience Unlike Any Other
The Netherlands offers a fundamentally different kind of charter to the rest of the Waypoints Mediterranean portfolio — and that difference is precisely what makes it worth including. Flat-water sailing through one of the most intricate canal and waterway systems in the world, past working windmills, 17th-century merchant townhouses, and tulip fields running to the horizon. The IJsselmeer — a vast inland sea created from the former Zuiderzee — offers open-water sailing in protected conditions. The Zeeland province brings tidal estuary sailing with extraordinary wildlife and access to the North Sea. For sailors who want something genuinely different, the Netherlands delivers.
Turkey
The Turkish Riviera: Rising Star of Mediterranean Sailing
The Turkish Riviera — stretching from Bodrum and Marmaris in the west to Antalya and beyond in the east — has become one of the most talked-about sailing destinations in the Mediterranean over the past decade, and the quality of what it offers makes the attention entirely deserved. Ancient Lycian ruins visible from the water, gulets anchored in pine-forested bays that see a fraction of the traffic of their Greek counterparts, exceptional food, and a hospitality culture that makes arriving in a Turkish port feel genuinely welcoming. The Turquoise Coast earns its name every single afternoon.
The Partnership
WAYPOINTS & NAUTIC ALLIANCE
Nautic Alliance brings to this partnership what only years of deep Mediterranean experience can produce: a vetted fleet maintained to the highest standards, local crews who know their coastlines the way sailors learn them — by spending years on them — and an operational infrastructure that spans seven countries across the region.

Together, we offer something genuinely rare: the personalized, concierge-level charter experience Waypoints guests expect, delivered across some of the most beautiful and varied sailing grounds on earth. Whether you’re planning your first Mediterranean charter or returning to explore a coastline you’ve been meaning to reach for years, this is the easiest and most reliable way to do it.
