Thinking of escaping this Easter?
Published 18 February 2025
Celebrate Easter in ultimate style
April is the ideal time to charter, when temperatures are pleasant and crowds aren't as busy compared to the height of summer. And from your yacht, you'll have the opportunity to wake up in a new location each day and experience a whole host of activities there to suit every guest.
For a few of our favourite yachts with Easter availability, keep reading. But, if you don't see what you're looking for, contact your broker who will find you a yacht perfectly suited to your requirements.
Greece
Chartering a yacht in Greece unlocks a world of sun-soaked islands, ancient history, and hidden coves, all best explored from the water. This year, Greek Easter falls on the same date as Catholic Easter, making an Easter yacht charter particularly special as you can witness the spectacular celebrations, candlelit processions, and fireworks displays that light up the islands.

Glide between the whitewashed beauty of Santorini with its caldera sunsets, or discover the quieter beauty of Paros and Antiparos, with their sandy beaches and charming tavernas. Step back in time as you visit Rhodes' medieval port and the ancient ruins of Kos, or drop anchor in secluded bays like those around Leros or Patmos for snorkelling and swimming in total privacy. Visiting during Easter allows you to experience the warmth of Greek hospitality at its most vibrant, with island communities coming together for feasts and festivities.

South of France
If you're after glamour, culture, and beauty, then the South of France should be at the top of your list. Cruise along the iconic Côte d’Azur, from the star-studded shores of Saint-Tropez to the glittering marinas of Cannes and Monaco, perfect for evenings of fine dining and world-class entertainment. Drop anchor in the crystal-clear waters of the Îles de Lérins, just off Cannes, for a peaceful afternoon swimming and snorkelling, or explore the charming cobbled streets of Antibes, steeped in maritime history and artistic heritage.

From your base on board your yacht, gain access to secluded coves and lesser-known gems like the golden beaches of Porquerolles or the rugged beauty of Cap Taillat. Dial down the tempo at Villefranche-sur-Mer, a picturesque harbour town with charming waterfront cafés. Whether you seek the buzz of high society or the serenity of the Mediterranean, a yacht charter offers the ultimate freedom to explore the South of France in style.

The Bahamas
The Bahamas’ crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life beckon. Animal lovers head to Exuma, where encounters with dolphins or friendly pigs are great for families. For those looking for a bit more action, dive into the depths to come face-to-face with majestic sharks as they glide through the water. Elsewhere, dive to explore a sunken plane wreckage, where vibrant coral has claimed the forgotten aircraft, transforming it into a living, breathing reef teeming with life.

Back on land, hike to the Glass Window Bridge, where the deep blue of the Atlantic collides with the calm, turquoise waters of the Caribbean. It’s a dramatic contrast, reminding you of the raw beauty that makes The Bahamas so extraordinary. And for a true Bahamian adventure, set out on a spearfishing expedition, hunting for lobsters under the watchful gaze of the setting sun.

Australia
Australia has so much to offer, with incredible activities and wildlife both under and over water. Start your charter in Queensland, diving one of the most iconic dive sites on the Ribbon Reefs: Steve’s Bommie. Then swap the sea for the sky as you take a helicopter ride to a remote waterfall, spotting crocodiles along the way.

On Lizard Island, hike to Cook’s Lookout for stunning views, then snorkel in the pristine clam gardens of Blue Lagoon. Over in the Whitsundays, kayak through serene mangroves at Cid Island or enjoy a sunset at Katoomba Bank. For a spot of history, Hook Island’s Aboriginal rock art, created by the original Ngaro people, is incredible.
Head to the city and climb Sydney’s iconic Harbour Bridge for breathtaking cityscapes or enjoy world-class dining after a tour of the Opera House. Close the day with a sunset cruise to Athol Bay for a peaceful night anchored beneath the city lights. Next up, a taste of the ‘real’ Australia with a surf lesson at Bondi or Manly beach followed by a scenic seaplane flight over Pittwater.
