Boats to Boast
Gone are the days where we have to envy the likes of Leo, Beyoncė, Heidi and Elton who spend summer on glamourous yachts in St Tropez, Ibiza and Sardinia . What seems like super expensive holidays can now be enjoyed by everyone. lastminute.com has anchored over 12,000 boats in more than 1,000 destinations around the world - available from as little as £20 per person per day, making it a surprisingly affordable and very luxurious alternative to the classic beach holiday.

lastminute.com partnered with yacht expert Sailogy.com to offer sailboats, catamarans, motorboats or gullets and they all can be booked online. And no need to worry if you don't know your jibsheet from your stern as many offers include a professional skipper who will navigate the ship to wherever the wind takes you. That leaves you with plenty of time to enjoy the lavish lifestyle of the superstars at an affordable price in the privacy aboard your own boat. And for those who want to make Abramovich, Elle or Naomi envious - there's also an incredible superyacht for £29,365 available for one week for ten guests (that's £420 per person per day).
lastminute.com sets the sails for the top 10 yachting destinations most popular with the rich and famous - but you don't have to have a superstar salary to afford them.
It's the crème de la crème of the French Riviera - and it all started in the '60s when the 'jet set' made St Tropez their beloved top spot. Since then, the beaches and clubs attract the most glitzy superstars from around the world.
The legendary Liz Taylor loved Portofino - a picturesque fishing village on the Italian Riviera which for decades has been a place for those who prefer the finer things in life on their holidays.
Santorini is one of the most photographed and iconic of the Cyclades islands. It is the epitome of a chic Greek hotspot - the perfect backdrop for beach beauties and those magnificent views are best enjoyed on board a boat.
In the '60s the Aga Khan bought land on the Costa Smeralda - the 'Emerald Coast' - and made these amazing beaches legendary which are still loved by stars today.
Trendy vibe, lovely beaches, and famous clubs galore - Ibiza is where the yachts of today's celebrity party people linger, ready to head over to the island for some summer fun.

Bodrum is a vibrant holiday resort on the beautiful Aegean Sea - a gorgeous, historic town to pop over from a boat anchored in the turquoise waters.
The Croatian Adriatic coast is the perfect combination of relaxed atmosphere, untouched nature, breathtaking beaches and a bit of party in Hvar. It has only recently been discovered by celebrities as a harbour for their yachts - but now the big names spend amazing summers here.
Bye bye Monaco , hello Montenegro : this is a rising star among the celebrity yacht destinations. There's lots of history and culture, amazing scenery with the mountainous coast and lovely fishing villages.
A luxurious white boat moored in turquoise waters, sand, sun, and blue sky - welcome to the British Virgin Islands .
