There is a sense of wanderlust in the air here. Exploring new areas, discovering unknown restaurants in the harbors in the evening, enjoying nature and the sea during the day - this is the world of charterers, whose numbers are growing from year to year.
Being able to choose the destination of your choice and the right boat, free from a home marina and a specific weather zone - that's what makes chartering so appealing.
And when additional information from tourist boards or maritime destinations is added to the mix, then it really comes into its own.
