We all know and admire the luxury, performance, craftsmanship, design and durability of Nautors Swan sailing yachts. There are many specimens available for charter, some in better condition than others, and there’s only one for your Greece sailing vacations!
There is however one Swan that definitely outpaces all her sisterships: CALLISTO, a Swan 77, extended version. CALLISTO was built in 1995 as one of the biggest Swans at the time and, having had only 2 owners who have spared no expense to keep her in prime condition, she is in immaculate condition still.
Some of the best vacations are in our own backyard so why not set sail from Key West to Miami and explore the beautiful Florida Keys on KNIGHTS AT SEA. This great itinerary will let you explore the beautiful Keys along the way.
Classic sailing yachts line the Vieux Port in Cannes at the end of September when the city welcomes the Cannes Royal Regatta, and a range of sailing yachts will race against each other in the bay of Cannes, with its iconic views of the hotels lining the Croisette.
As the Cannes Regatta comes to an end, the Voiles de St Tropez is just beginning, and continues in to early October. Les Voiles de St Tropez is said to bring together the pleasure of sailing and the party spirit that St Tropez is so well known for. This regatta almost marks the end of the summer season on the Riviera, and is one of the best opportunities to make the most of the still warm weather that the south of France has to offer.
Would you like to sail on a classic yacht? THE BLUE PETERis the perfect opportunity! Enjoy a day charter on the Riviera; you can organise a team building event where everyone gets stuck in to sailing, or just relax on a prime example of a classic yacht.

The predominant weather pattern in Southeast Asia is the monsoon winds. Broadly speaking, the winds are southwesterlies from May to October, and northeasterlies from November to April. This leads to different ‘high seasons’ for sailing in different countries in the region, and some yachts moving destinations to follow the high seasons.
Two of our favourite yachts have just finished their charter season in Phuket and Myanmar, and are heading southeast to more almost unexplored sailing areas in Borneo, the Philippines and Indonesia.
