These five exceptional yachts – ranging from sporty, high-performance motor yachts to bold explorers – still have availability left for the 2025 season. Whether you're cruising with family, friends or colleagues, there are options for a range of yacht charter needs. BOAT explores the highlights, guest feedback and why now is the perfect time to secure your booking.
1. HBC: A family-friendly superyacht with exceptional crew
Length: 85.7m
Builder: Abeking & Rasmussen
Availability: Mediterranean from mid-May to mid-October
Rate: From €850,000/week
If you’re after a luxury charter that feels like a personalised resort, HBC is your perfect match. With 11 spacious en suite staterooms, she is built for extended family charters. She accommodates 12 guests in exceptional comfort, with an elevator connecting all decks, stabilisers for a smooth ride and thoughtful features catering to guests of all ages. Families can enjoy time together or spread out across two saloons, expansive decks and a jaw-dropping beach club beneath a glass-bottomed pool.
The yacht boasts a water toy collection for all skill levels, a Jacuzzi on the sundeck, a massage room and a gym. But her dedicated five-star crew is the real highlight. “We pride ourselves on delivering a really incredible experience,” says Captain Bobby Groves. “We’ll do our homework to search out a restaurant they’ve not been to before or a local delicacy they’ve not tried.” The crew does everything in their power to create new, special experiences for the guests, working with local guides to secure VIP access to local events and attractions.
Charter guests have come to a similar conclusion: “She’s got the most brilliant and best crew we’ve ever met! The boat is in immaculate condition, and we loved the smooth functioning of its multimedia, communications and lighting systems.”
2. Bold: For the adventurous spirit
Length: 85.3m
Builder: Silver Yachts
Availability: Western Mediterranean from mid-May
Rate: From €875,000/week
Whether you want to explore beautiful coastlines or host a glamorous onboard soirée, Bold lives up to her name with her striking military-inspired aesthetic, designed by Espen Oeino. The 85.3-metre explorer yacht is ideal for thrill-seekers and entertainers. Her inverted bow creates a larger waterline length, offering greater volume, meaning she is packed with onboard amenities, including a helipad, hangar, disco room with integrated lighting and sound, plus an expansive skylounge and winter garden.
Accommodating 12 guests across eight cabins, Bold is ready for every kind of adventure – from heli-skiing to beach barbecues. “Bold’s skylounge and glass-walled winter garden are really spectacular,” says charter manager Camille Medina. “Her crew are exceptional and have established a fun onboard dynamic.”
Chief officer Benn Weatherseed emphasises her versatility: “Bold covers all the options. Some charter guests favour Bold for her architectural styling and versatile spaces, particularly if they’re entertaining friends, and for others, it’s all about the water toys and outside activities.”
3. Nomad: An elegant debut in the Med
Length: 69.5m
Builder: Oceanfast

New to the Mediterranean but rich with experience, Nomad brings a fresh energy to the charter market. She accommodates 12 guests across six cabins, including a full-beam master suite on the main deck, two spacious VIP doubles and family-friendly guest cabins. Following regular refits, her 2003-built frame is in impeccable condition.
Equally suited for glamorous evenings or laid-back days at anchor, guests are drawn to her extensive amenities. A Steinway piano, a cinema room with more than 500 films and an OMNIYON entertainment system provide five-star entertainment at any time of day. Dining options range from a formal interior setting to an al fresco deck area, shaded by the overhanging deck above, complemented by a 600-bottle wine cellar.
During the day, guests can chill out by the sundeck pool with a swim-up bar and submerged stools. Adventure seekers will love the fully equipped RYA water sports centre, where they can find wakeboards, water skis, paddleboards and scuba gear for certified divers.
4. Taleya: Smooth sailing and world-class dining
Length: 55m

Perfect for foodies and hosted by a crew that truly understands the Mediterranean, Taleya exudes a warm, family-focused atmosphere and boasts a highly successful charter record. She accommodates up to 12 guests and features child-safe walkways, gates and a lift – ideal for groups spanning multiple generations.
"Children can walk freely around the boat’s decks, protected by the higher sides," Captain Ante Juresco explains. "There aren’t any openings on the main or upper deck that they can fall from. And we have gates to access the foredeck or swim platform.”
A Croatian native, Captain Ante brings personal passion to every itinerary and strives to bring something special to each charter, drawing on his personal knowledge of the Adriatic. That passion extends to the galley, where the renowned Chef Spiros creates one-of-a-kind meals. “Chef Spiros is absolutely incredible,” says Medina. “I’ve never seen menus and flavours quite like those served up aboard Taleya.” Choose to dine in the formal saloon or under the canopy on the upper deck aft.
Immaculately maintained, Taleya has earned a loyal following, with one group bringing four generations on board. She’s a yacht ideal for families, food lovers and those seeking culturally rich cruising through some of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful waters.
