Picture yourself gliding through crystal-clear waters, the sea breeze in your hair and a cold glass of wine in your hand as you sail past the breathtaking Ionian Islands.
It sounds like a holiday reserved for Hollywood stars and billionaires – but you could be living the yacht dream for less than you think.
Private yacht charters are available from just £26 per person, per night, opening up a world of luxury sailing without the eye-watering price tag.

From Greece and Croatia to the Caribbean and Thailand, these are the yacht escapes that prove luxury doesn’t always have to come with a luxury price tag.
