Western Mediterranean • Small-ship discovery
Scenic — Scenic Eclipse
Why I like it: Discovery yacht that pairs expedition curiosity with refined dining
Sample day — Amalfi Coast (Culinary & Calm)
Vessel: Private charter aboard a small motor yacht (M/Y Seraphina — private operator
Tone: Slow, intimate, food-forward — ideal for couples, families, and small groups.
Why I recommend: Private charters let the crew and chef design each day around fresh local ingredients and quiet coves — perfect for a relaxed, food-centered pace.
