Anchoring is one of the highlights of a yacht trip. Peaceful bays clear water and the freedom to stop wherever the scenery feels right create some of the best moments at sea. But in reality yachts are not allowed to anchor everywhere because most countries have strict rules that protect the seabed marine life and navigational safety. The crew must follow these regulations at all times.
In many Mediterranean regions anchoring is only permitted where the seabed is safe and not ecologically sensitive. The most important restriction concerns seagrass meadows known as Posidonia which are protected by law in countries such as Croatia France Spain and Italy. Anchoring on these areas can cause serious damage to the ecosystem and can lead to heavy fines.
Where anchoring is usually allowed:
Where anchoring is forbidden or restricted:
Local rules vary greatly between countries. Modern charts and local apps show where anchoring is permitted and which areas are environmentally protected. The crew always checks wind conditions seabed type and available space before choosing a spot.
Even in legal anchoring zones the ground must provide good holding. Sandy bottoms are ideal while rocky or grassy areas can cause the anchor to drag.
For guests the key message is simple: you cannot anchor everywhere. Some bays are open some require caution and others are completely off limits for environmental reasons. Your crew follows these rules strictly and will always select a legal safe and comfortable anchorage for the day.
