Balearics

It’s a huge mistake to dismiss the Balearics as ruined by over-developed tourist traps. The cognoscenti know these lovely islands for their hidden corners, spectacular topography and, away from Palma de Mallorca...

British Colombia

British Columbia is a wilderness land of forests, islands and fjords and yet reassuringly parochial with subtle English undertones of afternoon tea, muffins and quiet understatement.

An extraordinarily friendly reception whereever you go...

British Virgin Islands

One of the great joys of the BVI is its remoteness. Although separated from the hugely commercialised US Virgins only by a narrow strait, the BVI has escaped the worst of their...

Burma

Burma, or Myanmar, is an exotic destination on many of our guests' "must-do" list.

Sadly much of the country is off-limits to tourists and what can be seen is strictly controlled by the...

Corsica Sardinia

It is said that the islands of Corsica and Sardinia can be sensed long before they appear over the horizon, such is the powerful scent of the maquis.

Separated by a narrow strait,...

Croatia North

The Dalmatian coast is stunningly beautiful – some say the finest cruising grounds in the world.

Fourteen hundred islands and blessed with a mild climate and southwest facing aspect, this is a lush...

Croatia South

The Dalmatian coast is considered by many to be the most beautiful cruising grounds in the world.

Over 1400 islands and a mild climate with reliable winds make yachting a joy and manageable...

Egypt - River Nile

A ten person dehabaya on the Nile is one of life’s great undiscovered joys. Engineless, silent, powered only by colourful lateen sails, these beautiful traditional craft glide gently up and down stream.

Should...

France - Riviera

Just the words “Cote d’Azur” conjure up visions of beautiful bays overlooked by fabulous villas, hiding behind high gates and cypress tree sentinels - the homes of the rich, the famous and...

Greece - Cyclades

The Greek islands are the quintessential cruising grounds for yachts. Perpetually associated with such legendary luminaries as Stavros Niarchos and Aristotle Onassis, Greece’s links between shipping and yachting have focussed the nation...

Greece - Ionian Islands

Swathed in olive groves and cypresses, the Ionians are more Italianate, more luxuriant than the stereotypical Greek island. Bathed in a softer, golden light very different from the Aegean, a mild damp...

Italy - South

“See Naples and Die” is more apposite now than ever. With manic traffic and a culture of total disregard for rules and regulations, just crossing the street in this fascinating city is...

Italy - Tuscany

The Italian Riviera has always been seen as a poor relation to that of France. A huge mistake. Less developed and with some truly inaccessible places both on and off shore, it...

Komodo Islands

The Indonesian archipelago is one of the world’s dream destinations – almost completely untouched by a tourism that we would recognize.

With little or no infrastructure, exploring this region is either for the...

Sicily - Aeolian Islands

Sicily has always seemed like a separate country. The Italians call their south the mezzogiorno, the land of the midday sun where things are done differently but Sicily is even more distant...

Sicily - South West

Sicily, triangle of intensities, has a history of cultural rape, occupation and exploitation yet it remains fiercely independent and a law unto itself.

A fairytale land of wealth and beauty stolen by invaders,...

Singapore - Tioman

This is an almost unique itinerary - a rare combination of sophistication with remote tropical islands close by and yet a world away from the hustle and bustle of a modern city....

Turkey - Turquoise coast

The Turquoise coast of Turley is everything that the name suggests – beautiful crystal clear waters of an iridescent turquoise hue lapping a rugged remote cost line punctuated by tiny fishing ports...

Turkey and the Dodecanese

Strung out along the coast of western Turkey like jewels upon an impossibly aquamarine sea, the Dodecanese are entrancing; attracting yachtsmen – many of whom return year after year to sample some...

Windward & Leeward

The Windward’s and the Leeward’s embody all that is romantic and glamorous about the Caribbean. Forming the necklace that links the northern island to Trinidad, Tobago and South America, these are the...
