5 Bucket List Yachting Destinations (and What to Wear There)

Traveling by yacht isn’t just about getting from one glamorous port to the next—it’s about how you arrive, how you lounge, and how you carry yourself with every step from bow to beach club. For the modern woman, yachting is more than a vacation—it’s a mood, a movement, and a mirror of lifestyle defined by freedom, elegance, and unfiltered indulgence.

Each destination has its own energy. The color of the sea changes, the light shifts, the tempo of life dances between slow mornings and electric nights. And with every anchorage comes a new opportunity to express your version of yacht-chic—refined, radiant, and unmistakably you.

At Maxine Yachtwear, we believe the most iconic travel moments happen when the setting and the styling are in perfect sync. So we’ve curated five of the world’s most breathtaking yachting destinations—each paired with a wardrobe formula that blends effortless luxury with destination-specific energy.

 

 

1. The Amalfi Coast, Italy

Vibe: Lemon trees, linen streets, and endless limoncello.
Why go: For postcard-perfect harbors, pastel cliffside villages, and sun-soaked afternoons that stretch into candlelit dinners on the deck.

From Positano to Ravello, the Amalfi Coast is a masterclass in la dolce vita. Picture yourself gliding past vertical villas, docking beside a weathered stone jetty, and indulging in an afternoon aperitivo as Italian sun pours over hand-painted ceramics.

What to Wear:

Channel vintage Riviera glam with a Seasalt White one-piece—clean, crisp, and endlessly chic. Pair it with a high-waisted linen wrap skirt for that flattering, feminine shape and add cat-eye sunglasses to frame the look with just a touch of retro drama.

Top it off with a silk scarf tied in your hair, gold hoop earrings, and classic espadrilles—perfect for climbing cobblestone paths or enjoying a seaside lunch in Marina Grande.

Maxine Must-Pack:

Our Fausto high leg one piece—designed to catch the golden light of the Mediterranean and transition seamlessly from sun-lounger to spritz hour. Pair with white nails and a confident stride.

2. St. Barths, Caribbean

Vibe: French chic meets island ease.
Why go: Where the glamour of St. Tropez meets the laid-back soul of the tropics. Expect secluded coves, ultra-exclusive beach clubs, and yacht parties that stretch into the early hours—barefoot but never underdressed.

St. Barths is all about contradiction in the best way: casual yet couture, relaxed yet refined. It’s the kind of place where a bikini can count as a power outfit—if styled correctly.

What to Wear:

Make a bold entrance in a Jetset Coral bikini—vibrant, joyful, and photo-ready. Layer with a semi-sheer cover-up that moves with the breeze and hints at the glow beneath.

Add minimalist sandals, layered gold chains, and a woven beach clutch to carry your sun essentials and a touch of Saint Barthélemy attitude.

Maxine Must-Pack:

Our Jetset Coral Cora top and high-cut bottoms—designed to accentuate your silhouette and light up in golden-hour glow. Ideal for transitioning from Nikki Beach lounging to on-deck champagne under the stars.

 

 

3. The Greek Isles

Vibe: Mythical beauty, whitewashed magic, and endless blue.
Why go: To chase golden light across sugar-cube rooftops, dive into the Aegean’s impossibly clear waters, and dine under the stars in hidden tavernas where the wine flows like conversation.

The Greek Isles are the dreamscape of island lovers. From the dramatic cliffs of Santorini to the electric pulse of Mykonos and the quiet poetry of Paros, every island offers its own rhythm—but all are wrapped in the same hypnotic beauty of sea and sun.

What to Wear:

Go ethereal with a Sunbleached Lilac one-piece—soft, feminine, and effortlessly romantic. Layer it with ivory linen trousers and a gauzy white button-down left loosely unbuttoned for that undone, island muse vibe.

Accessorize with pearl drop earrings, nude leather slides, and bare, dewy skin that catches the light without trying too hard. Hair? Windswept. Attitude? Absolutely unbothered.

Maxine Must-Pack:

Our minimalist lilac Tobias one-piece with an open back—designed to mirror the softness of the Aegean sky at sunset. It’s the definition of modern Greek goddess energy, made for slow walks through whitewashed alleys and midnight dips under the moonlight.

4. Croatian Coast (Hvar & Dubrovnik)

Vibe: Ancient cities, sparkling harbors, and modern cool.
Why go: For the perfect blend of history and hedonism. Dock at Hvar for sun-drenched terrace parties, explore Dubrovnik’s walled city, or escape to a quiet cove where the water is as clear as your cocktail.

Croatia is where Adriatic elegance meets youthful energy. Whether you’re strolling cobblestone streets or lounging on your yacht’s sundeck, you’ll want a wardrobe that’s both timeless and ready to turn heads.

What to Wear:

Make a statement in a Solar Amber bikini—warm, rich, and radiant. Pair it with tailored white or neutral shorts, a structured straw hat, and vintage sunglasses for retro-glam charm.

Layer on an oversized linen blazer for post-swim cocktails in Old Town Dubrovnik or late-afternoon exploring in Hvar’s harbor cafés. A swipe of lip tint and a spritz of sea-salt spray are all you need to finish the look.

Maxine Must-Pack:

Our Madox Bikini and bottoms—a head-turning yet sophisticated set that lights up in sun and sea. Designed to glow against tanned skin, it’s as ready for yacht-side lounging as it is for a rooftop toast with locals.

 

 

5. French Riviera (Monaco & St. Tropez)

Vibe: Iconic, intoxicating, impeccably dressed.
Why go: This is the birthplace of yacht glamour—a golden coastline where high fashion meets high seas, and every port arrival feels like stepping into a movie scene. By day, you’re basking on the deck in Monte Carlo; by night, you’re dancing at Club 55 or sipping vintage rosé at Byblos.

The French Riviera is where you wear your elegance like a second skin. Everything is polished but relaxed, radiant but restrained. It’s the kind of place where style is second nature—and every glance is an audience.

What to Wear:

Command the moment in an Espresso Bronze one-piece—sultry, sculpted, and endlessly versatile. Layer it with a bias-cut silk skirt in ivory or champagne for that fluid, feminine finish. Add strappy metallic heels and an air of unshakable confidence.

Keep accessories minimal and intentional: a bold red lip, delicate gold chain, and sleek low bun say everything without saying a word.

Maxine Must-Pack:

Our Amelia high leg one piece—made for the woman who turns heads with grace. Whether you’re sunning at the Monte Carlo Beach Club or heading straight to a midnight yacht soirée, this piece transitions with ease and undeniable allure.

Final Word

Wherever the tide may take you—from the cliffs of Capri to the decks of St. Barths—your yachtwear should be more than just beautiful. It should be purposeful, pleasurable, and designed to move with your life, not just photograph it.

At Maxine Yachtwear, we don’t believe in overpacking. We believe in packing well—choosing refined silhouettes, sculpted swimwear, and resort pieces that celebrate movement, confidence, and timeless femininity.

Because the true luxury isn’t just in where you go—it’s in how you show up when you get there.
