Where to Charter a Yacht in May
When Yachting Destinations Suddenly Become Movie Stars
Set sail in May and you get the world at its most cinematic: the midnight sun of Svalbard; the star-studded Cannes Film Festival; the zip and roar of the Monaco Grand Prix, motor racing's most prestigious event. With fresh spring weather and plenty of sunshine, Europe becomes a yacht charter magnet, though some sun-seeking captains will set sail for the equator. Book early for the Galapagos Islands or Bali.

Admire One of the Great Wildlife Reserves in the World on the Galapagos Islands
As one of the few places on Earth that remains (relatively) untouched, this magnificent collection of isolated volcanic islands has attracted royalty and the rich for over a century. Teeming with wildlife and rarer-than-rare plants, a yacht charter in May allows you to cover all the major habitats. Giant tortoises, sea lions and marine iguanas are all easy to spot, while whale sharks start to appear in May too.

Sail under the Midnight Sun in Svalbard
It's the silence that hits you first. A joyous, almost deafening quiet. Then you see the blue hue of the glaciers and suddenly you realise that sailing through this remote archipelago, way up in the Arctic North, is a special, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Charter a yacht in May, when the midnight sun starts to light up the endless fjords like beauty queens. Head for magnificent Magdalenefjord, an unmissable mirror-like mirage of snow-dipped mountains.

Enjoy Humid-Free Hiking and World-Class Diving in Bali
With the rainy season done, Bali emerges anew in May. Now less humid, this is a great time to summit the rippled cone of Mount Bromo and to get your goggles on. The halo of coral reefs around the island teems with manta rays, slow-swimming turtles and playful clown triggerfish. Charter a yacht in May and the water visibility is aquarium-clear. Anchor at Pulau Menjangan for some world-class diving.

Groove Away at the Caribbean’s Premier Jazz Festival in St Lucia

St Lucia Jazz Festival, where international musical greats jet in and lay down some grooves.
