Spanning the meeting of Eastern and Western civilization, the Eastern Mediterranean plays host to some of the most surprising secluded anchorages, whilst bustling ancient cities such as Bodrum put history at the end of your yacht’s gangway. This region includes mainland and island Greece, Turkey, Cyprus and Malta.

Chartering in the region offers the opportunity to take in a broad variety of cultures and scenery. Cruising destinations are close together, meaning the itinerary is inherently flexible. Take in the remote island of Santorini where donkeys replace cars one day, before enjoying the boutique shopping and nightlife of the party island Mykanos the next.

Cruising in Turkey offers access to a coastline that was meant to be sailed and has been for years by holiday makers. A yacht charter in the region enables you to go beyond the day boats and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the countries national parks. Some parts of the mainland are still protected from development and only accessible by sea. West Nautical can also arrange charter of the very best authentic Turkish Gullet’s, the traditional yacht of the region and one that’s ideal for large groups of family and friends.
