Tawara Adriatic Charters

Yacht Charter Guide

Chartering a yacht offers a very unique holiday experience. It combines the comfort and amenities
of luxury accommodation with the excitement of living at sea and visiting a different location every
day. The Adriatic region is a sailor’s paradise. The warm climate, calm seas and light winds make it
one of the most popular destinations for yacht charter in the Mediterranean. There are countless
islands, beautiful beaches and endless shorelines to explore. The crystal blue waters are ideal for
snorkelling, swimming and scuba diving. You can count on a holiday experience that will exceed
your expectations.
