We all know that the rich and famous gather at St. Bart’s on their superyachts to celebrate Christmas and the New Year’s holidays. But in the summer? Well, most of those same people, on their same yachts, head for the Med.
To keep track of who’s where, Forbes made a list of superyachts that are already in or around the Med, enjoying life from St. Tropez to the Greek islands, shuttling back and forth to some of the most beautiful harbors in the world, often on the yacht’s own helicopter. (Solandge, a 279-foot charter yacht, is pictured cruising off Croatia.) Here’s where many of the world’s best superyachts are spending the summer:
