With the charter industry booming and a record number of charters being booked for this season, now is the time to book your exclusive holiday to make sure you don’t miss out! Here is a glimpse of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/124" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Edmiston (Company)">Edmiston</a>’s top locations for the 2022 Mediterranean season, paired with some of the beautiful yachts that are still available to charter in each location.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/227070/image/large-83a7bbb0ecf7a7a7e1f6a5c981a6e9d6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/227070">TurkeyFirst on our list is Turkey. The eastern Mediterranean country is home to some of the bluest waters and most beautiful islands in the region and is famed for its marine life, particularly turtles and dolphins which are regularly spotted during charter trips. Not only is the scenery spectacular, but no Turkish trip can go without mentioning the delicious local cuisine. One of the best restaurants to stop at is Ferdi Baba, a historic restaurant in the port of Alaçati. Founded in 1981, Ferdi Baba is a must stop destination for any charter trip, offering the freshest seafood, salad and meats, all enjoyed under the baking Turkish sunshine. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/42986/image/large-d163a5e61d2b991293f6e229e93d7ee0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/42986"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/70113/image/large-074ba61a86ad3627774ff6e0cfe19dc3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/70113">Can you imagine yourself cruising across those turquoise waters, sails set in the wind and bow cruising through the water? <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5930" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rox Star39.9m (130'11&quot;)Bodrum Oguz Marin2015">Rox Star</a> would be the ideal yacht for you to enjoy this unique destination. Sleeping ten guests and available for €90,000 per week, she is the epitome of a modern sailing yacht, with a cool yet classic profile, large beach club and an abundance of on deck space. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5930" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rox Star39.9m (130'11&quot;)Bodrum Oguz Marin2015">Rox Star</a> is the ideal yacht to enjoy a cocktail on deck as the sun dips below one of Turkey’s picturesque islands. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/219273/image/large-f001eb70ed7a09d6836fcb8f414235bc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/219273">Croatia Our second destination is Croatia. The setting of many famous films and series, Croatia is even more beautiful than the photographs suggest. Edmiston recommends two superb restaurants at Villa Nai 3.3 on the island of Dugi Otok, Dalmatia. Surrounded &nbsp;by olive groves and striking cliffs, firstly Grotta 11 000 is an ode to Dugi Otok’s forefathers, and to ingredients grown on the island, or fished from the waters, and cooked on a charcoal grill or in a hearth oven. The 3.3 is a more gourmet affair, pairing delicious dishes with fantastic wines and a spectacular sea view. Dining is a modern and sophisticated twist on local cuisines, enhanced by the estate’s world-renowned olive oil – a culinary highlight on the Croatian coast. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/207053/image/large-45ae2defd350316bc5d0c5983595b9ff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/207053"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/195973/image/large-b145e66fdc5ae3664a1019a33ee3f5c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/195973">What better way to explore the Dalmatian coast than aboard an Art Deco inspired superyacht and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>’s 90.1-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1677" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix 290.02m (295'4&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2010">Phoenix 2</a> is the definition of cruising in style.

With Islands spanning from Turkey all the way to Croatia, Greece has something for everyone. One of the most popular island clusters is that of the Cyclades, located in the very heart of the Aegean sea where the islands of Mykonos, Naxos, Milos and Santorini offer some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/60935/image/large-57d5496af6ae4dc418eeedacbe2f2d46.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/60935">It's impossible to visit the Cyclades without mentioning Ftelia by Pacha, one of the most anticipated venues opening this summer with an illustrious line-up of DJs. In Santorini, charterers can look forward to the latest Nobu outpost, as well as Magma by Spondi, from the team &nbsp;behind Athens’ two-Michelin starred Spondi. As with last year, the Greek islands are the place to be for yacht charter &nbsp;and great evenings’ entertainment. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/60928/image/large-392ec97a9097659ebaa4bd5382dc1185.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/60928">One of the top charter yachts currently available to cruise in the region is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2290" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Victoria A43.45m (142'7&quot;)Perini Navi2004">Victoria A</a>, a beautiful 43-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/51" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Perini Navi (Company)">Perini Navi</a> sailing yacht with a distinctive blue hull and sails.

Top summer hotspots and the best charter yachts to explore them aboard

Few sailing yachts can claim a heritage of an established boat building calibre as much as the recently delivered 39.90 metre sailing yacht Rox Star can. Boasting a captivating blend of traditional Turkish-built quality and contemporary superyacht styling, this gullet-inspired sail yacht is certainly not your ordinary motor-sailor, and once on board, one realises that Rox Star has been brilliantly set up with true bluewater sailing in mind.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155591/image/large-50306c76b232959353c4395df09096bf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155591">Designed in-house by Bodrum-based Oguz Marin Bodrum, Rox Star is dressed in a pearlescent black hull with matching sails and classic deck house. Her vast exterior deck space has cleverly been divided into separate areas dedicated to socialising, sunbathing and partaking in the sailing action. The atmosphere on board keeps with Rox Star’s relaxed cruising design, and guests are in for a real vacation experience during their time spent on this modern-classic beauty.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155592/image/large-5a601243bb9caf3f6b953ad43a75d089.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155592">Separated by the helm stations and running controls, is the main cockpit and aft sun bathing area. The cockpit is covered by a large fixed bimini that can be extended to provide shade to the sun bathing area aft. A large U-shaped seating area provides the perfect setting for guests to relax while underway, and makes the most of this wind-free area that is protected by the deck house ahead. A table placed in the centre makes this area ideal for large family gatherings during meal-times and can easily seat 10 guests.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155593/image/large-e1903b63026d75262c5aea820c0887fb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155593">The aft sunbathing area can be used to enjoy a relaxing morning read while at anchor.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155594/image/large-54a3918701dc8bf01e162d1efe8238f8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155594">An area forward of the deck house has been exclusively dedicated to guests who wish to unwind and soak up the sun while experiencing the sensation of being completely separate to the other guest areas on board. This stylish sun bathing area looks over the expansive foredeck and onto the horizon ahead, ideal for those private sunset drinks moments.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155595/image/large-786d5d28a6ea6d7227d27e821189cd33.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155595">The prominent wheelhouse makes for a grand and elegant interior meeting area, with large square windows add much needed light to the warm and masculine decoration theme used in this space. Further light comes from the oversized skylights that are framed by the prevailing use of dark walnut timber throughout the yacht’s interior. Classy leather inserts along the bulkheads adds a soft touch to the hard woods and sharp-edged furniture.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155596/image/large-5d3d4b7bb96891cab0fbc4fc5f4bfe94.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155596">The main saloon comprises of a bar area as you enter to port, with a large and comfortable corner sofa creating a welcoming and homely atmosphere. Guests can enjoy formal dining occasions here while experiencing a view of the starry night sky through the skylights above.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155597/image/large-3d9ec7b2cc96b2be2c18ab1d09f7ce26.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155597">The custom woodwork is continued down below in all the guest cabins. The master suite, placed forward on the accommodation deck again features warm brown leathers and exquisite wooden furniture and paneling; a true testament to the skilled craftsmen of the Bodrum region in Turkey. The full beam suite features its own skylight that also provides private access to the foredeck above.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155598/image/large-e8ca7c92987cfc5cbd4409a4c3b8abe9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155598">The lovely en suite bathroom is finished with unique grey marble from Italy that resembles the patterns found in the wood used throughout the cabin, and houses its own steam room.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155599/image/large-fa6d36cf2ed83710ee1c2f6592a8c568.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155599">The four remaining guest cabins have each been themed to represent a famous rock star and their lifestyle, with oversized images scattered throughout the cabins adding an original feeling to each.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155600/image/large-703c56acadd193ba83b7886db2fbe550.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155600">Each cabin features a double bed and en suite bathroom. The beds have been offset to the outboard part of the cabin to free up much needed space and creating a homely feel to the space at the same time.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155601/image/large-4791c01c28c0bc470a03b4bea67069ed.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155601">Rox Star has been fitted with a ketch rig designed for easy handling by her 6 crew, yet is able to be optimised for performance cruising when the moment calls. Her twin MAN engines deliver 1,120 hp and can be engaged during light wind conditions and enables Rox Star to still cruise at 12 knots while doing so.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155602/image/large-a35d17754a30117bc8d599b0db86e25f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155602">A truly unique creation, Rox Star has been developed by Oguz Marin Bodrum to a design by K-Architectes, Geneva and supervised by build-captain Jean-Claude Vau, to meet the owner’s exact requirements of a sailing yacht that could offer high levels of comfort in a safe and performance-ready package. Her traditional Turkish style is complemented by modern touches and equipment on board that would make any instantly feel at home.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155603/image/large-c2ee39fbae3edfcd27a49b6d5ddb7348.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155603">Rox Star is currently for charter through Edmiston.By Charl van Rooy
