French Riviera

 Beyond the infamous crowd-favorite and buzzing summer destination like St.Tropez, the real fun begins while cruising along the rugged coasts of Cote d’Azur.

This stunning Mediterranean coastline of the French Riviera along the southeast corner of France is packed with magnificent beaches, rocky inlets, and wonderful islands. Set sail to Marseille, Cannes, or Antibes along the beautiful stretch of rocky cliffs merging with pristine blue waters. On a lucky day, you may come across a school of whales or dolphins along the way.

Feel like something even more off the beaten track, head to the Iles de Porquerolles! A stunning chain of island conservations right across from Toulon with incredible secluded beaches and villages dating back to the 1800s.

The Greek Islands

 Nautical destinations like Santorini, Mykonos, Paros, and Naxos make up the perfect getaway for Greek Island hoppers.

Gorgeous sandy beaches, architecture in white and blue, and barren landscapes of the Cyclades will always have something new to discover every time you visit. A day cruise around Milos Island is ideal to discover several spectacular beaches and coves inaccessible by car, such as Kleftiko beach.

The British Virgin Islands

 A true tropical yachting paradise - The British Virgin Islands offer a ton of marvelous activities to indulge in.

Explore unspoiled islands and cays or simply drop your anchor to snorkel and scuba dive around reefs and shipwrecks in some of the world’s clearest waters. The islands feature world-class marinas with all the amenities an adventurer would require. Every beach is no more than two hours sailing from another, making the variety of opportunities for exploration and relaxation unparalleled. 

Explorers can also explore clusters of neighbouring islands – start in St. Lucia and head down to the Grenadines, which include Mustique and Canouan – the adventure just never stops.

Bahamas

 This is the ideal yachting destination for families and the less experienced as it is only 100 nautical miles between the bustling State of Florida and the gorgeous landscape of the Bahamas. The southeast coast of Florida packs more than 600 coral cays and stunning sheltered waters for a unique cruising experience.

Marsh Harbour serves as the perfect base to explore the chain of islands for day trips to the picturesque Treasure Cay, Elbow Cay, and Green Turtle Cay. You can even venture further and discover the 365 cays of the Exuma group – relaxation galore! It doesn’t end there as you can further quench your thirst for adventure with fishing, and diving at sites such as Dean's Blue Hole, the Abacos Train Wreck, and the wreck of the 1862 gunboat USS Adirondack.

Seychelles

In the middle of the Indian Ocean, a thousand miles off the East African coast lies the ultimate yachting paradise – the Seychelles. The archipelago of 115 isolated islands offers reliable winds, peaceful anchorages, nature reserves, aquamarine seas, white sandy beaches, superb diving/snorkelling conditions, and exotic wildlife for everyone.

The yachting itinerary can be focused around the inner islands of Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue while mooring off heavenly beaches such as Anse Source d'Argent, Anse Lazio, and Anse Georgette. This African getaway is ideal for more experienced sailors looking for a change from the Caribbean.

Balearic Islands

 The Balearic Islands in the western Mediterranean Sea boast lively and vibrant landscapes. The four islands – Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera are perfect for a day cruise and to enjoy the pristine beaches, variety of landscapes, and well-equipped marinas. Thanks to the near-perfect weather – the sea is not rough, there is moderate temperature throughout the year, and the average wind speed is from 5 to 15 knots. There are many bays along the islands where you can anchor, jump in the tender and jet skis and go exploring. 

Islands like Tagomago and Formentera attract diving and snorkelling aficionados with their diverse underwater life, visibility of 10-15 meters, and a depth of 40 meters.

With a reduced beam and draft, Nomad Yachts give unprecedented access to the shallow waters of the Caribbean and the Greek Islands alike and can enter any tight marinas or shallow lagoons! Rugged and sturdy, this range of yachts is perfect for a family of explorers looking for their next adventure.
