Summer 2026: The Mediterranean is calling

Across the Côte d’Azur, the Amalfi Coast, the Greek Islands and Croatia’s Adriatic coastline, the Mediterranean has come into its own. Days unfold on the water, afternoons are spent at anchor and evenings drift between waterfront restaurants and picturesque harbours. As the season reaches its peak, availability on the region’s most desirable charter yachts is becoming increasingly limited. 

There is still time to experience the Mediterranean at its very best. A carefully selected collection of yachts from the Edmiston fleet remains available throughout July, August and early September, offering access to the season’s most coveted cruising grounds before another summer slips away. 

Whether you’re drawn to the glamour of the South of France, the timeless appeal of Italy, the island-hopping freedom of Greece or the crystal-clear waters of Croatia, now is the moment to secure your yacht and begin planning a summer you’ll remember long after the season has ended. 

The Mediterranean at its best 

Few places capture the spirit of summer quite like the Mediterranean. From iconic coastlines and vibrant waterfronts to secluded anchorages accessible only by sea, chartering offers a perspective that traditional travel simply cannot match. 

South of France 

There is nowhere quite like the Côte d’Azur in summer. From Saint-Tropez and Cannes to Monaco and Cap d’Antibes, the Riviera combines timeless glamour with effortless coastal living. Spend mornings swimming off the Lérins Islands, enjoy long lunches overlooking the water and step ashore for world-class dining, shopping and nightlife. 

By yacht, the region reveals a quieter side too. Hidden anchorages, secluded beaches and island escapes sit just moments from the energy of the Riviera’s most celebrated ports, allowing you to experience both at your own pace. 

The Amalfi Coast 

The Amalfi Coast remains one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating cruising destinations. Dramatic cliffs rise above colourful towns, while hidden coves and picturesque harbours invite exploration at every turn. Wake to views of Positano’s cascading hillside, cruise to Capri for an afternoon ashore, or drop anchor beneath the rugged coastline for a leisurely swim before lunch. 

From Michelin-starred dining and private cultural tours to tranquil wellness retreats overlooking the sea, every experience feels naturally elegant and uniquely Italian. 

Greek Islands   

With thousands of islands scattered across the Aegean and Ionian Seas, Greece offers extraordinary variety. The Cyclades deliver iconic whitewashed villages, lively waterfronts and breathtaking sunsets, while islands such as Santorini and Mykonos continue to define Mediterranean summer. 

Further west, the Ionian Islands reveal a gentler side of Greece, with forested landscapes, crystal-clear waters and secluded bays ideal for watersports and days spent at anchor. Ancient history, authentic cuisine and exceptional cruising combine to create a destination that rewards exploration. 

The Adriatic 

Croatia’s Adriatic coastline offers a compelling blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Historic towns such as Dubrovnik and Korčula sit alongside islands including Hvar and Vis, where vibrant waterfront restaurants, charming harbours and crystal-clear waters create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the Mediterranean. 

Explore hidden sea caves by tender, wander medieval streets steeped in history or spend an afternoon anchored in complete seclusion. Here, every day feels effortlessly relaxed and quietly extraordinary. 

Chartering with Edmiston
