Dreams Come True on a Yacht Charter in Croatian Mediterranean Waters


Imagine crystal clear blue seas, the fresh Mediterranean breeze on your faces and beaches so tempting that you just want to dive into the sea. Sounds like a romantic movie? Or a place from your dreams? Yes this is Croatia. What better way to look up to "The Mediterranean As It Once Was" which is the tag line of Croatian tourism than to just book a yacht charter and go around the Mediterranean waters like the ancient Greeks and Croats did.

There are may inhabited and uninhabited islands around the territorial waters of Croatia. Each island is a picture from a story book. Every one of them offers unique experience of how a traditional Mediterranean island lived for generations together. There are dozens of such islands throughout the territorial waters of Croatia to go there explore and be one of the ancient Mediterranean culture.

The word tourism is not a new term in Croatia; it has now developed into a full fledged industry. The main reason why tourists come is to visit the well-preserved Renaissance towns through out the coastal areas. The increase in tourists coming in to Croatia is this unexplainable Mediterranean Sea's beauty which has attracted people from all over the world. According to a stated estimate in 2005 the country had more than million tourists coming in to enjoy the well kept beauty.

Its just not sea there are in land excitements too. The country has eight areas which are demarked for national parks which attract special attention from the Croatian government to avoid development hitting the forests which were once cradle of modern civilization. The other places in land are the capital city Zagreb, the old capital city of Baroque times Varazdin. There are dozens of medieval castles and most of them turned into holiday resorts await you in Croatia. But again it's the beauty of Mediterranean which attracts tourists like bees to come down to Croatia for a holiday.

There are many ways and means of doing activities in Mediterranean Sea front of Croatia. The most popular one is to hire a yacht from reputed Croatian yacht charters and go around the Mediterranean Sea. Divers call Croatia the heaven for under water thrills. Divers of all levels come to Croatia to dive in the crystal clear waters of Mediterranean Sea.

The country has 56,542 square kilometers and the most interesting fact of 31,067 square kilometers of water which we are talking about in this article. These territorial waters run through the Mediterranean Sea giving the tourist and travel enthusiasts. The countries population has majority of Croats and some sizable minorities includes Serbs, Hungarians, Czechs, Italians and other.

For first time tourists there are two climate zones the inland and the Mediterranean water climate. The average temperatures in sea annually are around 11°C. In winter the temperature comes down to 7°C and maximum summer temperature it goes up to 27°C. By far this is the best water temperature in any of the water zones in the world. Thanks to Mediterranean Sea and the yacht experience it will be holiday of a lifetime. What are you waiting for book a yacht charter right now and visit Mediterranean Sea the way history saw it.

Prestige Yacht Charters Announces New Business-Friendly Cruises


NEW YORK, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Prestige Yacht Charters, a premier luxury-yacht charter company serving New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, today announced a series of business-friendly features available on its fleet, including a brand new ship, the Romantica.

Yachts offer the latest audio/visual equipment, and confirmed business clients can test the set-up for their presentation in advance. Sophisticated projectors, screens and plasma TV monitors ensure compatibility for nearly any arrangement. In addition to standard laptop integration, ships offer mobile technology for iPod transmissions as well, so guests can stroll along the deck without missing a moment of any lecture or proposal.


Other features on Prestige ships include zoned audio systems to provide even sound throughout the vessel so guests can enjoy striking panoramas without missing crucial communications. The scenery and the process of conducting business over the water, while the ship gently lolls from side to side, offers a unique approach to make potential partners more amenable.

Prestige also offers custom seating and table arrangements depending on the number of guests and the formality of the occasion. Cocktails with passed hors d'oeuvres can lend an elegant touch, or, for a no-nonsense business atmosphere, a company may opt for sodas and juice. Similarly, meals can vary from boxed lunches to five-star cuisine.

Prestige offers safeguards in case of inclement weather. All ships, including the new Romantica, are climate-controlled with enclosed decks, and the routes traverse calm waters.

Mediterranean luxury yacht charter


The sunny Mediterranean is unequaled in its natural beauty, cultural heritage, passion, glamour and style. Often conveniently split into two main areas - The Western Mediterranean and the Eastern Mediterranean - both parts are culturally unique, yet both have stunning beaches, hidden coves, majestic ports and luxury yachts. There are all types of yacht charters available: motor yachts, sleek sailing yachts, performance and comfortable cruising yachts. This fabled yacht charter area provides the untamed extravagance of the French Riviera, the gravity defying architecture of the Italian coasts, Sardinia and Corsica, the unaffected charms of Croatia, the fragrant orange groves of Spain, the exotic lure of Turkey and Greece the birthplace of civilization. Today, the clear azure waters of the Mediterranean is a cachet of sophistication, culture, history, and natural beauty, all with an endearing reputation of unrestrained energy.

CHARTER COMPANIES FOR MEDITERRANEAN:

Caribbean Yacht Charters


There are many beautiful luxury yachts available for your Caribbean yacht charter. A traditional hot spot for yacht charters, the Caribbean is considered “the king of yacht charter vacations”. Whether you agree with this statement or not, you like most people you will have heard of the Caribbean as a great yacht charter destination. This is because this location is made up of ocean and islands and a yacht, sailing or motor, is the perfect way to explore this naturally wonderful area. It is an ocean laden with treasures, from tiny beach ridden coral atolls to substantial mountainous islands exuding rich and colorful cultures.

The Caribbean is also steeped in a fertile history of sailing adventure. Ever since the days of galleons and pirates the Caribbean has been host to some of the most luxurious sailing around. You will find on your vacation, in a relatively small area, an incredible amount of choice - thriving bars and Caribbean nightlife; first rate cuisine; spectacular white powder beaches; lush tropical rainforest; cloud-fringed mountain peaks; exotic birdlife; amazing diving and snorkeling and a serene blend of European sophistication and warm Caribbean hospitality. The problem is, with so many superb Caribbean yacht charter locations and charter boat operators to choose form, where do you start when planning a holiday? With CharterWorld of course!

As one of the most popular yacht charter grounds in the world, second only to the Mediterranean, the types of boats available in the Caribbean include all the main types such as motor, sailing, bareboat charter, skippered, crewed yachts, catamaran, power boat, sailboat, luxury yachts and the ever increasing super yacht charter. Both beginner and expert yacht charterers alike are drawn to the Caribbean for its warm winds, protected waterways and beautiful anchorages - that lie snug within the tropical island necklace. Popular places to visit on a yacht charter include Antigua, St Barts, Anguilla, St Martin, The British Virgin Islands, The US Virgin Islands, the Grenadines and many more.

The main Caribbean sailing season runs from November through to July. The Caribbean primary high season is from mid-December to March, when the winter escapees from North America and Europe arrive in their greatest numbers. The hurricane season is from late July to early October, although hurricanes are in general rare in the southern Caribbean. Unfortunately, they can be prevalent around Cuba, Bahamas and the east coast of the U.S. every few years. This is the least expensive time for chartering in the Caribbean and there are some really good deals are available. However, as well as running the risk of storms, this time of year also tends to be associated with lighter (or non existent) winds.

As with many boating locations the Caribbean shoulder season, in this case from April to July, is also a great time to charter a boat as there are less shore based visitors, some lovely settled sunny weather, and warm yet steady breeze.
The Caribbean is made up of many different multi-nation (and multi-cultural) volcanic islands. There are amazing sailing grounds stretching from Cuba and Jamaica in the west, through the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands, The Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands, finishing with Trinidad and Tobago off the coast of Venezuela.

Due to the scale and diversity of the different yacht charter areas of the Caribbean we have covered the major charter locations individually. Please note that if there is a charter boat cruising area, not covered here that you are interested in, please contact us and we will provide you with that information personally.
