At Nautilus Yachting we pride ourselves on our standards, attention to detail and long-standing relationship with trusted fleets. Our holidays come with partners who we have chosen for their higher standards and commitment to maintaining their yachts to give you the best possible sailing experience.
As one of the largest independent yacht charter agencies in the UK who has been operating for over 30 years now, we have built a strong reputation for the quality and depth of the service we offer. Not being tied to one particular fleet means we can give unbiased independent advice about the best yacht for you.
Every step of the way, we strive to deliver the sailing holiday that our clients deserve. We are very grateful that this results in us having a large amount of loyal customers who trust us with booking their sailing holidays each and every year (or multiple times per year!).
We are proud to offer a wide selection of sailing holidays, making a holiday on the water accessible to all. For seasoned sailors we arrange bareboat or flotilla sailing holidays whilst those new to sailing can opt for an RYA learn to sail course at one of our partner sailing schools. For a relaxing sailing holiday with someone else taking care of the day-to-day sailing, we can organise skippered yacht charters, cabin charters or luxury crewed yacht charters. Whatever your requirements, we will do our best to fulfil all your sailing needs.
On this page you will find client reviews, supplier testimonials and more information on what makes a Nautilus yacht charter different. We look forward to planning your next yacht charter sailing holiday in one of our worldwide sailing destinations.
"We started to charter with Nautilus Yachting in 2000. Since then we have had 15 sailing yacht charters (monohulls & catamarans) in the Caribbean, Bahamas, Belize, Mediterranean, etc. Clearly this shows the high esteem in which we hold Nautilus Yachting. They have always given us good advice on locations and yachts and have liaised very efficiently with the charter bases. We have always found their staff friendly and helpful. Unreservedly, we recommend them!"
"Love these guys. Our relationship goes back 8 years - that speaks for itself. Recommend them to all my friends and now to you - whoever you are. The most important part of their service is that they take the risk out of yacht charter because they vet the fleet. If the fleet is not up to scratch, Nautilus scratch the fleet. Simples. Happy floating."
"Hi, we’ve just returned from our bareboat charter to Sardinia and would like to say thanks very much for organising it all, we all had a fantastic week. The sailing area gave us so many options to visit some stunning locations and the consistent wind gave us our best sailing week we’ve ever had. Brilliant, thanks."
"We chartered a boat with Nautilus for the first time and were unsure what to expect. The company was so helpful, well organised and the boat was very high quality. The service we had in Greece through Istion was also very good indeed. Highly recommended and already looking to book for next year."
"Just back from a fabulous week of sailing with Nautilus in Croatia. As complete sailing novices it was easy to check in at the marina, the yacht was just as the pictures showed, so new and really well kitted out and Petar was the best skipper we could have hoped for. He was so knowledgeable of all the islands, knew all the places we would like and restaurants and tailored a perfect week for us. Thanks to Kali at head office for answering my huge list of questions before we set off and matching us to Petar. We would definitely holiday with Nautilus again and have already been recommending you."

Furthermore, the support offered during charters, with quick response times and proactive issue resolution truly reflects their commitment to quality service."
