What\u2019s more, you can choose European yacht destinations that suit your wishes to a tee <em>and<\/em> revel in the thrills and spills of a customized cruise at your own pace.

Unsurprisingly, Mission Blue, an initiative which actively supports special places that are vital to the health of the ocean, awarded the Balearic Islands as a \u201cHope Spot,\u201d a special place that is critical to the health of the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both <a href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/best-cities-in-spain\/\">Mallorca<\/a> and Ibiza pride themselves on chic waterfronts, Michelin-starred restaurants, and a vibrant social scene, but it\u2019s Menorca\u2019s mellow vibe and jewel-toned vistas which will take your breath away, making it one of the perfect island yacht destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-marker-headers-marker-header-block marker-heading\" data-latitude=\"38.481079\" data-longitude=\"14.9040705\">Mud Baths and Watermelon Granitas at the The Aeolian Islands<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/yacht.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3650\"\/><figcaption>Romantic sunset near Vulcano island, Aeolian islands, Sicily, Italy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/things-to-do-in-sicily\">Sicily<\/a> makes our list of one of the top yacht destinations for its volcanic archipelago just north of the main island.

Named after Aeolus, god of the winds, the Aeolian Islands, (Vulcano, Lipari, Salina, Panarea, Stromboli, Filicudi, and Alicudi) offer beauty and excitement at every turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there, don&#8217;t forget to check out our guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/things-to-do-in-sicily\">Best Things to do in Sicily<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-marker-headers-marker-header-block marker-heading\" data-latitude=\"56.6269941\" data-longitude=\"-6.7207752\">Empty Beaches and Folk Music Sessions in the Scottish Isles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/shutterstock_687000556.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3589\"\/><figcaption>View on Portree before sunrise, Isle of Skye, Scotland.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The scattered islands off Scotland\u2019s coast (admittedly not the first places people associate with European yacht destinations) offer compelling seascapes and pristine beaches, minus the Mediterranean\u2019s scorching heat and crowds. What\u2019s more, there are no less than 790 islands to visit, each with a unique identity and different highlights to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best island groups to visit is the Inner Hebrides. Here, you can explore Jura\u2019s rugged beauty, go windsurfing in Tiree, or visit the ancient abbey on the isle of Iona. Wildlife enthusiasts should keep their eyes peeled for white-tailed sea eagles and basking sharks off the islands of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitscotland.com\/destinations-maps\/isle-mull\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Mull<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Coll (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/visitcoll.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">Coll<\/a>. Skye is the most photographed of the Scottish islands, and rightly so. The drama of its deep blue lochs and soaring cliffs will undoubtedly stay with you forever.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experience Gaelic culture in the Outer Hebrides, an island group off the country\u2019s west coast, by visiting cosy pubs and listening to lively folk music sessions, or opt for solitude and take a stroll on one of the islands\u2019 endless, empty beaches. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-marker-headers-marker-header-block marker-heading\" data-latitude=\"43.3760873\" data-longitude=\"16.0328606\">Dive into Croatia\u2019s Teal Seas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/shutterstock_404465260.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3587\"\/><figcaption>Scenic view of Vis Island, Dalmatia, Croatia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A Dalmatian coast charter includes all of Croatia\u2019s highlights. Opalescent blue waters, medieval cities, pine-backed beaches, and net-fresh fish truly make it one of the top European sailing destinations.  Hundreds of islands, some without an inch of development, adorn the 350 km stretch of coast, as do a myriad of sparkling anchorages.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can marvel over Dubrovnik\u2019s ancient city walls and limestone streets, bob around on Hvar\u2019s swanky shores, an island which boasts 2720 hours of sunshine annually, or sail to Vis, an unspoiled gem, loved for its tranquility and famed for its Blue Grotto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, a visit to the ancient town of Split is not to be missed. Here you can soak up one of the world\u2019s most impressive Roman monuments, Diocletian&#8217;s Palace, as well as lounge on one of the city\u2019s many terraces and sample cold artisanal beers.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you dream of discovering multiple islands on one holiday, each with its own unique identity, then chartering a yacht [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":42917,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":"","_classifai_error":"","_classifai_text_to_speech_error":"","_classifai_text_to_speech_scheduled":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[6],"class_list":["post-3583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe","tag-spain"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Yacht Destinations: The 5 Best Places in Europe to Sail Away - Seeker Travel Network<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Is chartering a boat and sailing around Europe on your bucket list?
