How long is a yacht charter season?

Yachting has two main seasons: summer (May to October) in the Mediterranean and winter (November to April) in the Caribbean, peaking at Christmas and New Year. Booking in the shoulder seasons offers crowd avoidance, flexible rates, and a wider selection.

St Barths Meets Roman Holiday

White buildings cling to rocky cliffs in the foreground, while a larger, verdant island with a town and harbor stretches into the blue ocean under a clear sky in the background.

Piscine Naturali

Ponza’s coast? It’s only by boat. Kayak inside the Grotte di Pilato. These rock caves were made by Romans to store seafood. Swim in piscine naturali, natural seawater pools hewn from rocks for holidaying senators. Snorkel off Cala Cecata, a tiny shingle shore with only seashells and starfish for company. Ponza is desert island bliss.

Sailboats dot the crystal-clear turquoise waters of a secluded bay beneath towering white cliffs.

Dramatic white cliffs plunge into the impossibly blue waters surrounding this rugged Mediterranean island.

Perfectly Untouched

Think Ponza is secluded? Wait until you see Palmarola and Zannone. These two micro-islands are uninhabited, unsullied and hermetically sealed from the 21st century. Palmarola rises like a Thai limestone islet from the ocean abyss. Cousteau christened it: “The most beautiful island in the Mediterranean Sea.” Zannone is populated only by butterflies, wild sheep and visiting biologists, who are trying to work out how the island became so bountiful.

Your Guide to Ponza

Magical. Charming.

The first stop of your Ponza yacht charter is at the island’s ancient harbour. The buildings are so colourful they look like kids’ crayons dropped from the blue sky. Dive shops share their secrets with Y.CO captains. Like the Mariuolo Shoal, which has 25m drop-offs alive with barracuda and scorpionfish. And the sunken tank landing craft USS LST 349, which still bristles with heavy weaponry. Hike on through a scented wilderness to Ponza's Botanical Garden. There's a reason for that aroma of rockrose, viburnum and myrtle. Yacht cruises to Ponza bask in glorious sunshine. From May through August the island receives only 1cm of rain.
