Top Places in the World to go Yachting

1.) The Mediterranean
 From the French Riviera to the Greek Isles, this body of water is packed with every manner of pleasure craft during the European summer. The principality of pleasure, Monaco, is the unofficial capital of the international yachting community and stomping grounds of royalty and the jetset. Nice and Cannes swell with population as the temperature rises and the Hollywood set makes the annual pilgrimage for the film festival and associated revelry.

2.)  The Carribean
Martinique - What makes Martinique a great island is the fact that even though it is a pretty populated place, very few cruise ships dock here and the daily life stays pretty relaxed. The island is a French Overseas Department, meaning that the island is technically French home turf and even votes in the French Assembly. This enables the island to boast the best highways and paved roads in the Caribbean.


3.)  Abacos, Bahamas

4.)  Phuket, Thailand
The shimmering turquoise seas of Phuket offers exotic appeal to those seeking adventure in a tropical place a world away from the hustle and bustle of a fast-paced life. This Far East sailing destination is filled with exotic flora and fauna, hidden bays and coves and towering pinnacles of limestones within the sheltered waters of Phang-nga Bay. It is nestled in the heart of Southeast Asia and is often called the Land of Smiles. Sailing to Phuket allows you to visit marine parks filled with tropical birds and abundant sea life. As Thailand's premier resort island, savoring the local cuisine is also a delightful aspect of a Phuket vacation.
