Let’s be honest—life at sea is only part of the thrill. Some of the best yacht moments happen after the anchor drops. From legendary beach clubs to secret food spots and bucket-list hikes, these coastal experiences make your summer charter unforgettable.

- Ibiza, Spain: Cotton Beach Club delivers the vibes and views.
2. Cultural Deep Dives

3. Epic Adventures Ashore
