Welcome to Top Yacht, an independent travel website dedicated to yacht experiences, sailing destinations and memorable days on the water.
We help travelers discover private boat tours, catamaran cruises, island-hopping adventures and other coastal experiences around the world. Our goal is to make planning easier through practical destination guides, clear booking information and thoughtful editorial recommendations.
Behind Top Yacht is a background that brings together travel, hospitality and decades of experience creating digital projects.
Meet the Editor Behind Top Yacht
Top Yacht is developed and edited by Robson Calefi Caitano, a Brazilian travel enthusiast, digital publisher and technology professional with a postgraduate background in Tourism and Hospitality.
Robson has worked in web development since 1997, building digital platforms and online projects across different industries. He graduated in Data Processing Technology from UNESC in 1998 and later pursued postgraduate studies in Tourism and Hospitality, combining his technology background with a long-standing interest in travel and visitor experiences.
Travel has been an important part of his life for many years. Since 2001, he has undertaken numerous trips associated with live music, concerts and cultural events, gaining practical experience with travel planning, accommodation, transportation and discovering new destinations.
His work in travel-related digital publishing brings these interests together: understanding what travelers need, organizing useful information and making it easier to explore unfamiliar places.
Top Yacht applies this approach specifically to coastal destinations, yacht experiences and activities on the water.
Why We Created Top Yacht
Finding the right boat experience is not always straightforward.
A destination might offer private yacht charters, shared catamaran cruises, traditional sailing excursions and short sightseeing trips, each with different itineraries, prices and booking conditions.
Even experiences described in similar ways can be quite different. One private cruise may focus on swimming and snorkeling, while another emphasizes scenic sightseeing, onboard dining or a sunset itinerary.
We created Top Yacht to help travelers understand these differences before choosing an experience.
Rather than presenting every available activity without context, we aim to organize relevant options around destination guides and detailed experience pages.
Our Editorial Approach
Our content combines destination research, information provided by activity operators and booking platforms, and practical editorial analysis.
When preparing a guide or evaluating an experience, we look at details such as:
- Destination relevance: The coastline, islands, landmarks and areas covered by an excursion.
- Type of experience: Private yacht, catamaran, sailing boat, shared cruise or another type of activity.
- Itinerary and duration: What travelers can realistically expect from the time available.
- Inclusions and logistics: Meals, transfers, snorkeling equipment, departure points and other practical details.
- Pricing and booking conditions: Published costs, cancellation terms and availability information.
- Traveler feedback: Ratings and reviews when reliable information is available.
We distinguish researched recommendations from personal firsthand experience. Not every activity featured on Top Yacht has been personally experienced by our editor.
Our goal is to provide useful context, acknowledge meaningful limitations and encourage readers to verify current booking details before making a decision.
Explore Coastal Destinations
We are developing a growing collection of destination guides focused on memorable experiences at sea.
From the Turkish coast around Bodrum to the islands of the Seychelles and the volcanic landscapes of Santorini, each destination offers a different way to discover the water.
Some travelers are searching for privacy and a leisurely day onboard. Others prefer swimming stops, sightseeing, sailing or exploring several islands in a single trip.
Our guides help visitors understand what makes each destination distinctive and compare experiences that may suit their interests.

Independent Publishing and Booking Partners
Top Yacht is an independent travel publication and experience discovery website. We are not a yacht charter company and do not own or operate the vessels featured on our pages.
Selected experiences are available through Viator, a third-party travel experiences booking platform.
When visitors choose to book, they may be directed to Viator to review live availability, prices, cancellation conditions and other details. Reservations and the delivery of experiences are subject to the booking platform’s and activity provider’s terms.
Top Yacht may earn a commission from qualifying bookings made through affiliate links, at no additional charge for using those links.
These commissions support the ongoing development of our guides and website. We aim to maintain a clear distinction between commercial relationships and editorial assessments.
Our Commitment to Travelers
We believe useful travel content should help readers make informed decisions.
That means focusing on relevant details, identifying important booking considerations and keeping the limitations of available information clear.
Prices, schedules, routes and operating conditions may change. Weather can also affect boat excursions, particularly in destinations where wind and sea conditions vary throughout the season.
We encourage travelers to confirm important details with the booking provider and choose experiences appropriate for their group, expectations and travel plans.
