The Great Kiwi Mediterranean Fotilla

If you’ve ever dreamt of sailing the Mediterranean, cruising postcard coastlines, tying up in historic ports and mooring in idyllic villages, then this is the opportunity to realise that dream.

Escape the New Zealand winter to the Northern Hemisphere summer for a season of cultural cruising aboard your own yacht. And then return to continue it all again next season.

The Great Kiwi Mediterranean Flotilla begins in the Northern hemisphere summer 2012. New boats have already been ordered for Beneteau customers but there is still plenty of time to get your new Beneteau Yacht or Lagoon Catamaran ordered in time to join this exciting cruising opportunity. No set itinerary has been planned; charting a course and ports of call will be plotted by flotilla participants closer to the date.  An obvious route would be departure from Canet en Roussillon, cruise nearby coastal regions, winter over in Barcelona, Valencia, Palma or elsewhere in the Southern Mediterranean. With Canet en Roussillon as a departure point the options are wide open.
