The Mediterranean has long been the world’s most popular yacht charter destination thanks to its pleasant climate, varied cruising grounds, picturesque scenery, rich history, and delicious cuisine. As the region attracts a vast array of the charter yacht fleet, the number of options can be overwhelming.
With the summer season just around the corner, the most popular charter yachts are getting booked up, so now is the time to secure a booking. To help you with your search, our charter brokers have curated a selection of the best yachts for charter in the Med. From the latest yachts with the most innovative features to the most capable crew, below are a handful of the finest options on the charter market.
A+
34m (111’7″) |11 Guests | Benetti 2024 | From €180,000 + VAT per week
A+ is nearing its delivery from Italian shipyard Benetti and Charter and Sales Broker Rob Lander is excited about this new addition to the charter market. “An evolution of Benetti’s highly acclaimed Oasis 40m model, this Oasis 34m A+ offers a more compact tri-deck design while retaining the generous and well-structured living spaces the series is known for,” he comments.
For Rob, a standout feature on board is the incredible beach club area, which is unmatched for a yacht of this size. “The impressive terrace features an infinity pool and opens on both port and starboard sides to create an expansive and beautiful space in close connection to the water,” he adds.

ACE
44.27m (145’3″) | 10 Guests | Conrad Yachts 2023 | From €200,000 + VAT per week
The multi-award-winning ACE boasts an impressive amount of beautifully designed interior spaces thanks to a volume of just under 500gt – plenty more than other yachts of similar lengths. “ACE is a firm favourite on the charter market,” Rob states. “She is a well-rounded, mid-size platform that offers a first-class charter experience for a range of charter parties.”
In addition to a contemporary and light interior featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, ACE’s outdoor spaces are another one of her assets. “She has a fantastic beach club with a fixed swim platform and access to an array of water toys, as well as a generous pool forward on the sundeck that enjoys panoramic views,” adds Rob.

BOLD
85.3m (279’10”) | 12 Guests | Silver Yachts 2019 | From €875,000 per week
As Charter Broker Lea Tintaud explains, the go-anywhere expedition vessel BOLD is as much at home in the Mediterranean as she is in the remotest parts of the world. “With a mere 2.8m draft, BOLD can access shallow waters and cosy anchorage spots like no other yacht of its size,” Lea advises.
“Picture yourself arriving on deck via helicopter and enjoying a lavish lunch in BOLD’s air-conditioned wintergarden in the beautiful bays along the coasts of Corsica and Sardinia.”

HALARA
43m (141’1″) | 10 Guests | Mangusta 2021 | From €220,000 + VAT per week
For Head of Charter William Molloy, Mangusta used to mean ‘fast, plastic boats’. “But HALARA is a super comfortable steel yacht with flexible accommodation options thanks to convertible cabins,” he assures. “She also has a Wajer 38 chase tender that is usually reserved for yachts in the 60m-plus size category.”
HALARA’s main asset, however, is arguably her amazing crew led by Captain JD. “The young, sporty and vibrant team on board have a can-do attitude that will ensure the most extraordinary yacht charter experience,” William adds.

VIRTUOUSITY
56.7m (186′) |12 Guests | Sanlorenzo 2023 | From €400,000 + VAT per week
VIRTUOUSITY is one of Sanlorenzo’s highly acclaimed 57Steel models with over 1,000gt of carefully considered interior space, meaning plenty of amazing features usually only found on much larger yachts. For Rob, VIRTUOUSITY’s 55m2 owner’s suite and 110m2 beach club are what make her so unique.
“The owner’s suite has direct forward access to a stunning and expansive private terrace complete with sunken pool,” Rob describes. “The beach club opens aft, port, and starboard to create a truly open space just above the waterline. This huge area really provides the ‘wow factor’, featuring a gym, hammam, sauna, and a wet bar, and flooded with natural light from the glass-bottomed pool above.”
