The Mediterranean superyacht season

Every year, as the Caribbean season ends, the world's greatest superyachts return to the home of yachting - the Mediterranean. Synonymous with luxury and grandeur, the west Mediterranean coast is the quintessential cruising ground. Adorning the coastline are exclusive beach clubs, hideaway coves and Michelin-starred restaurants, however it's the social calendar that seems to pull in the high end crowds.

In spring the migration begins, peaking in July before cooling down in September and October, and throughout this period a series of seriously decadent events take place along the famous Riviera coast.
