France's long sailing history
makes it one of the world's leading sailing nations. The stretch of
coast along the Mediterranean features the towns of Marseilles,
Monaco, Nice and Cannes as well as the villages of Beaulieu,
Menton, St Tropez, Hyeres or St Jean Cap Ferrat, all which you can
visit with your yacht.
Yacht charter in Spain offers a bit
quieter sailing holidays than the glamourous France, and more
active as well since it has more than 4000 km of
coastline and numerous opportunities for various water
sports. Spain has more than 200 yacht charter
harbors along both its coasts. Sailing in Spain mainly
evolves around the Canary Islands and the Balearic
Islands. The Balearic Islands are located off the eastern
shores of the Spanish mainland. The islands of Ibiza,
Mallorca (Majorca), and Menorca are included in this
group. The other island group, the Canary Islands, lie in the
Antlantic Ocean, off the western shores of Africa.
What makes Spain an attractive
yacht charter destination are its excellent geographical
position, ideal climate, rich cultural and historical heritage,
Mediterranean cuisine and many other attractions as well
as many lovely beaches.
