As Mumbai’s coastline makes way for the monsoon, the rivers of Goa invite a slower, more scenic style of cruising, while the Mediterranean awakens for another summer of yachting. From tranquil waterways closer to home to the marinas of Italy and the South of France, there has never been a better time to start planning the next escape.
Away from the open sea, Goa’s beautiful rivers and inland waterways offer a relaxed and scenic escape through the monsoon months. Cruising past lush green landscapes, waterfront villages, hidden anchorages, Portuguese-era churches and mangrove-lined waterways rich with birdlife, it is a season best enjoyed at a slower pace, surrounded by nature and uninterrupted views.
For those looking to venture further, Europe is entering one of its most exciting times of the year. Spring has arrived across the Mediterranean, bringing with it a calendar of private yacht viewings, sea trials and exclusive events ahead of the major summer boat shows. From the Italian Riviera to the South of France, marinas are coming alive as the season’s newest yachts make their debut on the water.
This is the perfect time to plan the next adventure. Whether it is discovering Goa’s tranquil backwaters, escaping the summer heat with a Mediterranean getaway, or stepping aboard a yacht you’ve been dreaming about, the opportunities on the water are only just beginning.
In yachting, every season brings something new. The destination may change, but the journey never stops.
Across Europe, the yachting world is already being shaped by a calendar of prestigious events, exclusive yacht experiences and remarkable achievements from some of the industry’s most celebrated brands. From the award-winning yachts of Ferretti Group to the delivery of the 20th Riva 102′ Corsaro Super to Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc, these milestones continue to showcase the perfect blend of innovation, performance and craftsmanship.
Italy remains at the heart of the action, with Prestige Exclusive Days in Monfalcone offering an exclusive first look at the new M8 EVO through private visits and sea trials ahead of the summer boat show calendar. Along the Mediterranean coastline, destinations such as the Côte d’Azur continue to attract yacht owners and charter guests with their timeless appeal, glamorous waterfronts and unforgettable cruising grounds.
Together, these stories capture a world defined by exceptional yachts, iconic destinations and experiences worth planning for—whether on the rivers of Goa, the shores of the Mediterranean, or somewhere beyond the next horizon.
For those considering a new yacht ahead of the next yachting season in Mumbai, the months ahead offer a rare opportunity to explore, compare and experience some of the world’s finest yachts in their natural environment. From 4–6 September 2026, the Ferretti Group Private Preview at the Yacht Club de Monaco will provide invited guests with exclusive access to the latest yachts from the Ferretti Group, including private visits and sea trials, providing a rare opportunity to experience these yachts ahead of Europe’s most anticipated yachting events—the Cannes Yachting Festival and the Monaco Yacht Show.
Guests will have the opportunity to discover the latest models from Ferretti Group’s iconic brands, including Ferretti Yachts, Riva, Pershing, Wally and Itama, each offering a distinct perspective on contemporary yachting. Together, these brands represent some of the most respected names in the industry, providing a unique opportunity to compare different styles of yacht ownership and life on the water in a single setting.
