Given the financial uncertainty throughout the world, we thought we would do a few articles on where to get the most value for your charter dollars/euros/pounds.

Croatia has steadily been growing as a key worldwide Charter Destination, for a number of great reasons. It combines a perfect coastline for chartering: hundreds of pristine islands, clear water, interesting destinations, history, cuisine, with a Mediterranean environment that is very much like it was 1000 years ago.  In short, it offers everything you’d want in a Mediterranean charter but significantly less expensive than some of the more “renowned” areas.

Famed as the star of the show in the film ‘Under the Tuscan Sun’, Positano lies on the charmed shores of the Amalfi Coast in Italy.  Steeped in myth and legend, the history of the town is heavily referenced by the major Mediterranean civilizations from over the centuries and the success of the region as one of the most import Italian Maritime Republics from the 9th to 13th century opened the towns up to influences from the East. Examples of Moorish architecture and its alluring beauty can be seen all over Positano and the pastel colours of the buildings in the misty haze of dusk are what makes this town so romantically inspiring.

Positano is the jewel of the Amalfi Coast, but the coast is a treasure chest overflowing with exquisite destinations and chartering a yacht on this coast is becoming more and more trendy as foreign visitors realise its attractiveness, the Italians have known this for centuries, the Romans first coming here to build their luxurious villas out of Rome, so now is your chance to experience life like an emperor!
