The global authority in superyachting
As the Mediterranean yachting season winds down and autumn approaches, BOAT catches up with leading charter brokerage firm Moravia Yachting to explore the current market landscape and highlight some of the finest yachts available.
With coastlines spanning thousands of kilometres, bustling towns, secluded coves and centuries of fascinating history, the Mediterranean is arguably one of the most popular yacht charter destinations. According to Moravia, this year’s charter season has been particularly successful. “Our savvy clients, as always, secured their 2024 bookings back in 2023, allowing them to lock in 2023 rates and select their ideal yacht from a tailored shortlist,” explains William Molloy, head of retail charter at Moravia.
“The second quarter of 2024 was quiet for a couple of months, but fortunately, last-minute bookings picked up in June and July, possibly due to poor European weather,” charter broker Roy Posthuma notes. But despite the slow start to the season, Molloy noted a significant surge in activity following the yacht shows at the start of the season, leading to what has become Moravia's “best year yet” so far.
There's still time to experience the Mediterranean's beauty this summer with Moravia's exceptional fleet. Highlights include the 85.6-metre, five-deck HBC and the 85.3-metre explorer yacht Bold . For art enthusiasts, the 78.4-metre Amaryllis , available in the South of France and Corsica, features award-winning interior décor by Reymond Langton. Alternatively, the 47.4-metre sloop Hyperion is perfect for those looking to fulfil their summer sailing fantasies.
But west isn’t always best when it comes to yachting in the Mediterranean. Brimming with untouched hidden gems, the eastern Mediterranean has rapidly gained popularity in recent years, with its picture-perfect beaches, sparkling turquoise waters and abundant yachting amenities. Moravia boasts a rare gem available to charter across the region that can accommodate 36 guests, the 106.5-metre Dream . Alternatively, the 42.6-metre tri-deck Lady I excels, with availability in Greece, Turkey and the undiscovered bays of Albania and a crew of nine comprising a masseuse, manicurist, fisherman and singer, all of whom collectively speak five languages.
As the Mediterranean season draws to a close, Moravia presents a wealth of autumn options in the Caribbean and the Bahamas, with thousands of kilometres of stunning coastline. “I already have clients discussing winter charters in the Caribbean, as well as those planning for next year in the familiar Mediterranean spots,” says Posthuma. “Some clients seek something new or more remote, like French Polynesia.”
In the Caribbean and the Bahamas, Moravia offers the 65-metre Codecasa, Eternity , ideal for active charter guests with its sundeck gym and extensive selection of water toys. For a more intimate experience, Nauta Yachts’ 23.9-metre sailing yacht Mindfulness is perfect for island-hopping and provides a cosy getaway for a party of six.
While Moravia anticipates a busy autumn and winter season, some brokers have noticed a shift in client behaviour. “Interest remains strong, but many clients are taking more time to commit,” notes charter broker Lea Tintaud-Abbas. “This trend reflects the careful consideration clients are giving to their plans, as they focus on securing the perfect experience that aligns with their desires and offers the best value.”
Moravia has expanded its offerings to meet these evolving preferences, including exclusive itineraries catering to a wide range of interests - from gourmet culinary experiences with onboard chefs to exciting water sports and island-hopping adventures. “We have also invested in sustainability initiatives,” Tintaud-Abbas adds, “ensuring that our charters not only deliver luxury but also minimise environmental impact, in line with the growing demand for eco-conscious travel.”
Moravia works closely with each client to create a bespoke charter itinerary tailored to their every need. Whether it's fulfilling a lifelong dream of exploring a wreck 200 metres below the surface in a submersible or diving with whale sharks off the coast of Tanzania, Moravia goes above and beyond to ensure that each yacht charter is everything the client envisioned. The team of brokers, who come from backgrounds in yachting and high-end corporate hospitality, are driven by their passion to deliver exceptional service.
“With the support of the Hill Robinson Group, which operates in 12 locations worldwide, there’s truly no challenge in the yachting world that we can't overcome,” says Molloy.

In all the Below Deck franchises, the deckhands have been seen doing a lot of work, while balancing out a lot of play. But the ones who are the best prioritize the boat over a boatmance. The life of a yachtie is not for everyone, but these deckhands proved that maybe they could continue up the ranks. For this list, we will look at the deckhands who were not in a management position. These are the best deckies from the exterior team across the Below Deck universe.
Below Deck is a beloved Bravo series that has launched four spin-off series. From the Caribbean to the Med, Below Deck has taken viewers around the world , providing stunning views while the drama occurs below deck. Documenting the onboard work and off-charter antics, Below Deck has been going strong since 2013. With no signs of stopping, it's time to step aboard and praise the men and women who kept the boat afloat.
'below deck down under,' season 2.
How could you not adore Harry Van Vliet ? The second season of Below Deck Down Under had some tumultuous moments regarding sexual harassment allegations. Yet, Harry Van Vliet was not only a reliable deckhand, he was just a super sweet and kind person. Harry had a bit of a crush on stew Margot Sisson.
Harry was a safe place for Margot during her difficult time on board.
As much as she didn't reciprocate those feelings, viewers cheered Harry on, hoping he might win the girl in the end. Harry was a safe place for Margot during her difficult time on board. Harry Van Vliet left Season 2 as a fan favorite, and rightly so.

'below deck down under,' seasons 1 and 2.
Nobody's perfect. Especially Culver Bradbury . Culver first came to prominence during the first season of Below Deck Down Under . He was unofficially known as the "Chief Entertainment Officer," often ensuring the guest experience was always lively. Whether it was with a costume or silly antics, Culver would go above and beyond the job description.
He left the first season as a fan favorite, so when he made a return mid-season during Season 2, fans were overjoyed to see him. But the fun-loving Culver from Season 1 was not the same Culver of Season 2. He didn't have the best work ethic under replacement Boson João Franco , though, to be fair, Joāo is not always the easiest to get along with. He did lead-on some of the ladies on board, but that was nothing new when it came to Below Deck . Whether he was the best deckhand or not, Culver is still a beloved character in the Below Deck Cinematic Universe.
'below deck' season 3.
Connie Arias was the gift that kept on giving during Season 3 of Below Deck . Connie was an exceptional worker. She had strong bonds with her fellow exterior team, making working on board motoryacht Eros a breeze. You can't judge a book by its cover because Connie defies that. She may look demure and innocent, but her hilarious antics on board were anything but.
She loved to show some skin whenever possible. If there was an opportunity to take off her clothes and replace them with whipped cream, she took it! She was the comic relief of the group and fit in as "one of the guys." When it came to work on deck, she was a hard worker and well-rounded. Fans were desperate for more Connie, but sadly, she was only part of the Below Deck crew for a single season.

'below deck' seasons 4 and 5.
Hard work and determination can get people to the top. For Nico Scholly , that's exactly what happened. Appearing in back-to-back seasons of the flagship series, Nico was a hardworking deckhand who dreamed of becoming Boson . Nico had a charm about him that had fans gravitate toward him. Nico's journey on Below Deck was filled with balancing work with some difficult personal issues.
Viewers learned of the passing of Nico's brother, something he was trying to cope with. He also ended breaking up with his long-distance girlfriend before engaging in a boatmance with stew Brianna Adekey . Nico dreamed of being the man in charge, but during both of his seasons, he was only given the role of senior or lead deckhand. When a temporary Boson arrived during Season 5, Nico was frustrated, feeling passed over. But his hard work paid off as Captain Lee Rosbach gave him his epaulets at the end of the charter season.
'below deck mediterranean' seasons 6 and 7.
No one was ever kinder than Below Deck Mediterranean 's incredible Mzi "Zee" Dempers . Always with a smile on his face, Zee was eager to learn and grow, proving that he was a beneficial asset to the exterior team. When Mzi made the jump to work on a megayacht, it was a drastic change from his previous work. No matter the challenge, Mzi was up to it. He formed an incredibly close friendship with Courtney Veale , who served as a stew during Season 6 and a deckhand during Season 7.
When she was given the lead deckhand role, he was there to support her, like a great friend should. Captain Sandy Yawn admired Mzi's growth as a person and a yachtie. While Mzi was present for a lot of drama on board, he kept himself out of the drama as best he could. Even if stew Lexi Wilson came at him. In the end, Mzi left as a fan-favorite and that's all that matters!
Not available
'below deck' season 8.
When Izzy Wouters was first hired for Below Deck Season 8, she was a part of the interior team. Having skills in both interior and exterior, Izzy wasn't feeling fully realized working inside. So, when there was an opening on the exterior team, Izzy jumped on the situation and became a deckhand.
It was something she excelled at, being promoted to Lead Deckhand toward the end of the season. Izzy's work-ethic was unmatched, which helped to prove her worth to Boson Eddie Lucas and Captain Lee Rosbach . Following the season, Izzy came out , gaining support from her crew and fans. While she only lasted a season, she was one of the best deckies the show has seen.
'below deck mediterranean' seasons 3 and 4.
Colin Macy-O'Toole was a mama's boy and the kind of guy you want to be your best friend. He's a shoulder to cry on, a close confidant, and an all-around great guy. With little experience in yachting, Colin arrived to the Med as a captain of a ferry boat that chartered guests to the infamous Fire Island in New York. With such an affable personality, Colin was able to be a soothing presence around the bigger personalities onboard.
While he didn't engage in any major boatmances during his two seasons on Below Deck Mediterranean , Colin did develop a slight crush on stew Brook Laughton , but when Joāo Franco swooped in, Colin took a step back and let them deal with their dramatic relationship. With his focus on his job, Captain Sandy Yawn saw something special in him, allowing him to take the helm on occasion.
'below deck' season 6.
Despite an off-camera incident , everything on screen during Season 6 of Below Deck was positive. Ross Inia was a strong deckhand who stepped up to fill the Boson position following the firing of Chandler Brooks . Ross proved his worth as a hard-worker, taking no nonsense from anyone. Especially deckhand Rhylee Gerber .
When Ross was in a larger position, the entire exterior team improved as the atmosphere no longer had unbridled tension. While he only lasted a season, he was able to help guide his friend Ashton Pienaar to the Boson position the following charter season.
'below deck' season 9.
Wes O'Dell is easily one of the most underrated personalities across the entire Below Deck Cinematic Universe. Wes had an immense ease about him. With the ninth season having some incredibly dramatic and tense moments, Wes was the calming presence that anchored the crew. Wes impressed Captain Lee Rosbach and First Officer Eddie Lucas with his strong skills on the deck.
Following the racist comment incident between Chief Stew Heather Chase and deckhand Rayna Lindsey , Wes was there to help mediate the situation. Many fans were shocked that Wes only appeared in a single season, believing he was a perfect candidate for a future management position.
'below deck' seasons 1 and 3.
The first season of Below Deck kicked off the phenomenon that has thrived to this day. The first season's cast served as guinea pigs, balancing work and reality television. One of the most brilliant characters in the cast, David Bradbury was a good deckhand and kept to himself.

5 things to know about america’s newest cruise line.
The new cruise line launched in 2021.
Atlas Ocean Voyages has certainly made a splash with its triad of superyachts that immediately entered the Polar expedition market after the line launched its first sailing in 2021. Typically, cruise lines test out more tried-and-true destinations like the Caribbean or the Mediterranean when they start. Not so with Atlas though, which dived in “bow first” into the Antarctic market with luxury sailings at a lower price point than the competition.
That’s what set travel advisors a-flurry. They were used to selling luxury, once-in-a-lifetime dream vacations at the Poles for five digit-starting prices, a number this cruise line has slashed significantly.
These days, Atlas Ocean Voyages has expanded beyond the typical Polar trips, but to many travelers, says Chris Gray Faust, executive editor for Cruise Critic, it still remains an unknown brand.
Here are five things to know about America’s newest cruise line.
Atlas Ocean Voyages has three ships, which it calls super yachts, in its fleet.
Atlas launched with World Navigator in late 2021, a ship that can hold 196 passengers (far fewer than its luxury competitors like Seabourn or Regent Seven Seas). All ships in the fleet have almost a 1-to-1 staff to guest ratio. The line has continued the same trend with World Traveller, which debuted in 2022, and its newest vessel, World Voyager. It began sailing late last year.
Innovationrx: myocarditis from covid-19 is much more severe than from vaccination, bitcoin prices fell below $58,000 as various factors fueled losses.
Its fleet is all purpose-built expedition vessels, something that competitor lines have added after testing the marketplace, comprising Polar Category C- and Ice Class 1B-certified ships. And these aren’t the expedition ships of years past, they look more like billionaire yachts and are built to withstand environmental pressures in the same way those money makers withstand market ups and downs.
Atlas has ships in the Polar regions almost the entire year.
Atlas Ocean Voyages is the only luxury cruise line to offer Polar expeditions on almost a year-round basis with ships rotating between the Poles. It does not sail during April or October to either region. This past winter season, its entire fleet was operating expedition sailings in Antarctica. No other cruise line has doubled down in such a way.
This year, it has two of its super yachts in the Arctic. Its goal, say executives, is to take people to the polar edges of the Arctic and the Antarctic without charging what the competition does, but without missing out on the premium that such an exclusive trip would cost. That sweet spot is unique in expedition cruising.

It is also offering several fly-in options to the seventh continent so that queasy travelers do not need to endure the sometimes-rocky Drake Passage. Starting in the 2025-2026 season, the line will double the number of fly-in options.
Operating smaller cruise ships also gives it an edge in the buyout world of incentive and corporate groups that often book bucket-list vacations as a reward for employees. But, it takes time to gain a foothold in the market.
“It is always a bit of a gamble for us starting out with a cruise line we haven’t chartered previously,” says Jeff Gundvaldson, president and owner of BrandGVacations. “After completing three full-ship charters, with several more on the books, we couldn’t be happier. Our guests absolutely love the design of the ship and her cabins as well as the food and service levels.”
Smaller ships can visit niche ports that larger cruise lines cannot access.
The ships can reach the Polar regions as well as its growing roster of cultural immersion sailings through Iceland, Northern Europe, South America and the Caribbean. These yachts can squeeze into smaller ports and waterways , like the “Corinth Canal in Greece and Guadalquivir River in Spain,” according to the line’s website.
Atlas is a private company with no imminent plans to take the business public and no current plans to grow its fleet.
For now, executives say, the focus is on growing technology and online partner booking systems as well as expanding outreach to travel agents.
The grab-and-go market is complimentary and open 24 hours a day.
Its polar sailings are a mainstay of the brand, and they do not skimp on food and beverage (including a unique grab-and-go concept that is open 24 hours a day). But, it is the mid-season, Mediterranean sailings that the young line has turned into a foodie escape.
These cruises are branded “Epicurean Expeditions” and bring aboard well-known chefs and experts from notable restaurants, magazines and TV programs to interact with guests. They vary from sailing to sailing, which is one of the reasons that some travelers choose to do back-to-back itineraries to see the onboard programming and not just the ports of call.
The onboard cuisine often includes local recipes from the day's port of call.
Recent sailings have included food expert Mara Papatheodorou, contributing editor to Bon Appetit magazine, and chocolate expert Julieta Davey, also known as Mamá Cacao.
Other sailings hosted names like Top Chef Brazil winner Luciana Berry, who appears on Bravo, and Peter Campbell, who has had stints on The Food Network and a master pizza chef.
Their expertise not only provides entertainment and value to passengers, but it also helps the cruise line seek out unique experiences for its customers, too.
Many of the presentations and activities, including foodie "cookoffs" between guests take place in ... [+] the lounge.
Activities include live cooking demonstrations, guest lectures, guided port visits to local markets, culinary competitions with guidance from the onboard experts and the chance to chat one-on-one over a meal or in the bar with leaders in the food and beverage industry.
A new partnership with Academia Barilla brings its famous Chef Marcello Zaccaria, who has been personal chef to celebrities and diplomats, aboard select sailings to share everything he knows about pasta from how to cook it properly to what to pair it with during each meal.
Earlier this year, Atlas started its “Cultural Expeditions,” which it says will follow the same type of immersive experience (with onboard experts) as its culinary sailings.
The pool deck has two whirlpools and is ringed by a jogging track one deck above it.
While the three super yachts are small (fewer than 200 passengers), they offer plenty of private space with decks at the front and back of the ship for those that don’t want to sit by the main pool.
The size of a smaller ship also allows it the ability to call on niche destinations that the bigger lines cannot visit (even luxury brands like Seabourn and Silversea).
Another element that has been a part of Atlas from the start is having a zero-waste operation in the kitchens. For example, things like onion skins might be turned into onion powder used in sauces for other dishes. Ideally, each sailing would disembark with minimal fruit and vegetables remaining.
Outdoor dining offers a second restaurant option.
Historical data, like with airlines, helps the cruise line plan for the percentage of different food items to provision for a particular sailing, depending on the audience, destination or length of the cruise. This prevents waste of food items that could otherwise go bad.
Breakfast and lunch are served buffet style, and since the buffets are heated or chilled in different areas, the cruise line can share leftover dishes with staff in addition to their regular menus. This is a popular perk for cruise staff, but also helps reduce waste.
Atlas Ocean Voyages is focused on operating a sustainable cruise line.
Any food waste gets sent to the pulper, which like on other ships, reduces it to a mulch-like substance that can be used as compost. It really is a zero-waste process. Bones are the only thing that cannot be put in the pulper.
It is not just above deck where the cruise line pays attention to the environment, but below deck, too. The ships are built to respect the underwater life by using a hydro-jet propulsion system that does not disturb marine life, giving passengers the chance to follow marine migrations on some voyages. This is similar to what Celebrity uses in the Galapagos, for example.
Drinks, meals and entertainment are all included in the cruise fare. Cruise directors do double duty ... [+] as performers on many evenings.
Since this line tends to price lower than other smaller ships, the expectation from many travel advisors was that there would be fewer inclusions, but not so says Gray Faust. Atlas includes a long list of extras for all cabins like free minibars and all-hours room service (alcohol is part of the deal), a guided culinary excursion on each sailing and prepaid gratuities. While these might vary by itinerary, the idea is that the cruise line offers more for the discerning traveler than what others might.
The addition of some shore excursions and gratuities puts it in the window of lines like Viking, which have taken the small-ship market by storm in an effort to bring a more exclusive experience to sailors.
Some activities are complimentary, but others carry a fee.
Atlas does not provide complimentary shore excursions in each port of call, however. They sell options of varying lengths and price points. On Polar expeditions, its Zodiac landings are included, but additional activities like kayaking and overnight camping are not.
Onboard entertainment is another area that may surprise. There is a theater, but it is used more for presentations rather than revue shows although live entertainment is a nightly event in the ship’s bars and lounges.
A “second guest sails free” promotion offered outside of peak Polar sailing season has proven popular as Atlas works to build its name. It end Sept. 30 although executives say another promotion will replace it.
Zephyr Lounge is an outdoor deck popular throughout the day.
When the brand first launched, it had a few service hiccups. But, that does not seem to be the norm anymore, says Gray Faust.
“When Atlas launched in 2021, it positioned itself more as a top-of-the-line luxury brand, which meant it was competing with well-established cruise lines that have been providing amenities such as caviar on demand and butler service for decades. That's a high bar of entry, particularly when we've seen other companies, such as Ritz-Carlton and, soon, Four Seasons, enter that space.”
She noted occasional service hiccups, but that the line has been making strides and correcting that fairly quickly.
Atlas ships sail in the Polar regions almost all year.
Don Bucolo of EatSleepCruise.com agrees, saying that he has noticed more diverse menus, better food flavor and improved service after sailing the line for the second time.
“We were amazed how a few crew members we met on our first sailing remembered us and quickly recalled our drink orders,” says Bucolo. “That level of detail is something you rarely find on larger cruise ships.”
According to Gray Faust, the line hired key industry veterans in 2022 to help with execution.
Atlas executives say that “consistency in execution across all destinations and yachts” is the focus before adding capacity.
There is also a new loyalty program , Atlas Yacht Club, which started earlier this year. Members earn cruise discounts, onboard credits and welcome gifts based on the number of nights they sail.
Atlas yachts have numerous outdoor decks.
“Prices and value have started to build a cadre of loyal guests; meanwhile, the line has worked hard to improve its service and onboard product,” Gray Faust adds.
She praises the onboard amenities that are a standout for small expedition shops. They include things like L’Occitane toiletries in the showers with fantastic pressure and multi-head nozzles, more than one dining option each night (all included) and plentiful power outlets.
While noting great value, Bucolo’s shares that the atmosphere is more relaxed and less stuffy than other more expensive, luxury cruise lines.
Atlas specializes in expedition sailings.
Atlas Ocean Voyages seems to have tapped into a void in the cruise space where price and exclusivity meet bucket-list itineraries. Only time will tell if this strategy will work, but according to Gray Faust, the proof is in the pudding. This affordable approach to expedition luxury is something the cruise industry was missing.
Gray Faust says: “the expedition cruising landscape is more crowded than ever, but Atlas does seem to be carving out a niche for value and giving passengers an excellent trip, at an affordable price.”
