Raise your hand if you haven’t ever gotten the travel bug… after you come from a vacation? In my case, everywhere I go I wish i had a house there and every time I come back from a vacation my first thought is, you guessed it… where to go next…? One of my dreams is to charter a private boat, get family and friends on board and sail away for days. Doing nothing but enjoy fresh caught fish, drink rose and let those who like to swim swim at their leisure… While in St. Tropez, we had breakfast at one of the cafes across the marina and I couldn’t help admiring a family that was taking their breakfast out on their deck of their mega yacht… very fabulous indeed… One, perhaps less expensive way to get to live this dream is staying at one of those fabulous hotels with private boats.
Hotels know what luxury travelers like… they are looking for one of a kind experience such as sailing around the Greek islands in your own private boat… or sailing around the Aegean sea on board of a very Mediterranean Blue Voyage… Any style that feeds your fancy… These hotels with private boats are as luxurious as they can be because they mostly have old boats with all the charm and elegance of old days travel…

Sailing in The Boat of Pulitzer, Amsterdam is sailing with history, Winston Churchill toured this beloved city in this beautiful boat back in 1946.
Gulet is kind of Turkish boat wich is traditionally wood built and very suitable for sailing especially in the Aegean or Mediterranean Sea.

Whether setting off on a tranquil chartered cruise or learning new skills on an in-depth sailing course, the hotel’s fleet of luxury yachts are sure to make a splash.

Grand Hotel Tremezzo, Lake Como, Italy
When we went to Lake Garda last year we were able to charter a boat that took us around the different charming ports. It was definitely a great experience we will never forget. We should’ve done the same when we visited Lake Como but if you haven’t been there yet, you can still rent the Grand Hotel Tremezzo’s private boat. In its Venetian motor boat, you can visit the lake must-sees, hidden gems and villas, pass by as you sip on your favourite tipple and revel in the glamour of the experience.
