Where to Charter a Yacht in September
Yachting's Sun-Drenched Shoulder Season
Yachting's Sun-Drenched Shoulder Season
Yacht Charter in September
Islands, islands and more islands. The mercury starts to dip a smidge as mainland Europe's month-long holiday in August finishes. But with many heading back to work, September is a great time to book a yacht charter. The Greek islands, Italy's crowd-free Amalfi Coast and the rugged sun-soaked coastline of Croatia all become the places to seek the satisfying solace of sailing.

For the pick of the weather, restaurants and mooring spots, head to the Cyclades in September. The warm azure waters that surrounded these Aegean Sea islands still shimmer like jewels, but everything is much quieter. Charter a yacht and head for Ios, where the finest coves are accessible only by rib. With less table-turning at tavernas (have lunch at To Krinaki on Santorini), the Cyclades suddenly seem like a secret.

With smouldering volcanoes, wildflower meadows, classical culture and sublime, farm-to-fork dining, Sicily and the Ionian Coast could keep you enthralled for months. Charter a yacht in September when both the weather and sea are still pleasantly warm, the visitor numbers are down and those heart-stealing stretches of coastal nirvana sit clean and pristine. Don't miss the exclusive bolthole of Taormina, nor a home-cooked meal at Ristorante La Canna in Filicudi.

And breathe... With all the tourists back at work and the temperatures dropping from sweltering to warm, September is the best time to charter a yacht along the alluring Amalfi Coast. Shop the classy boutiques of Positano where pastel-coloured buildings climb the hills. Admire the stirring views from the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) clifftop hike. Indulge in Michelin-starred fare at Ristorante La Caravella. Pure bliss.

As Europe packs away its sun loungers, Croatia gives visitors another month of sunshine, warm pristine waters and a renewed sense of self. Locals reclaim Zagreb, Split has free entertainment in the old town and white-truffle season starts in Istria. Try the delicacy at Zigante Tartufi in Grožnjan. Charter a yacht in September for island-hopping and the chance to see the Paklenica National Park streams at their finest.

Is there anywhere as laid back as New England? Charter a yacht in September and you see the region change completely. Autumn begins on Labour Day, the first Monday of the month, and by the time the 30 days are out much of the foliage in the northeast USA is the colour of fireworks: red, yellow and orange. With mild temperatures and crisp fresh air, this rich yachting haven feels utterly restorative.
