Off-the-beaten-track yacht charter

From the icy plains of Antarctica to the unique wildlife of the Galapagos Islands, an increasing number of luxury yacht charterers are choosing to spend their time at sea in some of the most spectacular natural environments on the planet. A far cry from the relaxed white-sand beaches of the Caribbean or the glittering shores of the Mediterranean, an Antarctica yacht charter is as remote as it gets. Make unforgettable memories with family and friends as you walk on ancient glaciers, get up close to Antarctic penguins and bear witness to a truly mesmerising, surreal landscape.

A Galapagos adventure yacht charter also promises a unique experience: from retracing Darwin’s footsteps on San Cristóbal Island to meeting the iconic Galapagos Giant Turtles.

Adventure yacht charter

To cruise in some of the most remote and untouched destinations on earth, not only do you need a capable charter yacht, but a wealth of facilities to ensure superior adventure experiences at sea. Onboard PADI diving centres, waterskis, jet skis and a whole range of inflatables already come as standard on many luxury charter yachts. Looking for a real adventure? Embark on a backcountry skiing expedition in Patagonia straight from the yacht on a Patagonia superyacht charter, or get up close to shipwrecks around Antarctica with a mini-submarine on an unforgettable adventure yacht charter.

Sailing yacht charters

Though more and more adventure yacht charters are taking place in remote destinations, not all adventures are the same. For those looking to feel the thrill of superyacht racing, a superyacht sailing charter or a racing yacht regatta charter is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the beauty of sailing. From participating in the world-famous St Barth’s Bucket in the Caribbean to watching all the action of the New Zealand Millennium Cup off-the-beaten-track on a New Zealand yacht charter, a sailing yacht charter is a unique way to experience yachting from an entirely different perspective.

Want to hear more about what your next adventure yacht charter could look like? Take a look at Bluewater’s charter fleet and start dreaming about your next luxury superyacht adventure.

This necklace of emerald gems, scattered atop a lapis Adriatic, shimmer from Italy to Montenegro. These include Budikovac, a sandy speck inhabited solely by a retired naval captain who operates a single seafood restaurant. Plus dozens of unnamed islet shards off Lastovo, a National Park island halfway to Italy. Here a sailor could plant a flag and picnic basket then call the island their own.

The most tranquil section of Croatia’s 6,000km coastline will always be Istria.

The love-heart-shaped triangle near Italy belonged to Venice for centuries. In red-roofed towns like Rovinj locals still shout buona sera while eating tonno affumicato. Since 2019 a brand-new marina has welcomed 50m yachts, plus longer vessels with advance notice.

Rovinj’s harbour leads onto Lim Fjord, a watery crescent famed for oysters, clams and crustaceans. It was the favoured holiday spot for Venetian lover boy Giacomo Casanova who gobbled the shellfish as an aphrodisiac, then diarised his vacation conquests. On Istria’s eastern coast, Rijeka shines as Europe’s Capital of Culture 2020. Here fancy Austro-Hungarian mansions dating from Viennese rule house no-nonsense restaurants. Choose between marinated mullet, sea bass carpaccio, wild asparagus, truffle omelettes and local Kvarner prawns.

Croatia’s combination of sun, seclusion and sublime settings have rendered it a festival go-to.

The 20,000-capacity Roman amphitheatre at Pula hosts Verdi operas alongside alfresco shows from Jamiroquai, Manu Chao and Elton John. Fatboy Slim plays Sea Star, a festival alongside an Istrian lagoon. Electronic musicians have found a far better use for Fort Punta Christo, an abandoned Austro-Hungarian gunnery base. It now hosts Outlook, a four-day beach rave that continues aboard a flotilla of 50 Adriatic barges.

All too noisy? Experience Croatia’s timeless beauty of yachting on the eco-island Dugi Otok.

It’s here that you may attend the annual donkey race. Run since medieval times, the first-place pony wins a slice of Prosciutto, while all riders dive into the sea at the finish line.

Superyacht charter US Virgin Islands

The US Virgin Islands are made up of around 50 beautiful islands and islets in the Caribbean Sea. The four main islands of St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John and Water Island are famous for their white-sand beaches, vibrant ocean reefs and some of the best restaurants and boutique shopping in the Caribbean. With two international airports in the US Virgin Islands, a US Virgin Islands yacht charter is a particularly convenient winter sun destination to reach from all over the world.

Most US Virgin Islands luxury yacht charters begin directly on St Thomas island, home to the capital of the US Virgin Islands, Charlotte Amalie. Located just 15 minutes from the airport on St Thomas, the Yacht Haven Grand Marina is one of the best marinas in the Caribbean and is an excellent starting point to explore the shopping and dining. With over 40 beaches, St Thomas is also a beach-lovers paradise.

Beautiful BVIs superyacht charter

The British Virgin Islands are commonly known as the BVIs and have been a favourite playground of the world’s best yachts for decades. The largest island in the British Virgin Islands is Tortola, with the neighbouring islands of Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke also popular destinations on a BVIs luxury yacht charter. For keen sailors, a sailing yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands is an excellent option, with predictably ideal sailing conditions and fair weather making for a superb experience at sea. For a unique travel experience in the BVIs, head to The Baths in Virgin Gorda, where beachside rocks and boulders have created pools and sea caves making for the perfect afternoon of Caribbean exploration for the whole family.

For fun beach days in Virgin Gorda, Spring Bay, Devil’s Bay and Savannah Bay are all some of the best beaches of the BVIs. Jost Van Dyke is a perfect blend of the best aspects of the superyacht life: fantastic dining and shopping, tropical scenery and a whole host of activities to dive into. Anchor in the sheltered bay of Great Harbour and explore all the island has to offer on a BVIs luxury yacht charter.

Perfect Caribbean yacht charter

The winter months from November to February are when most luxury yachts take advantage of the inviting waters of the Caribbean, though a constant sunny climate makes a US Virgin Islands yacht charter or BVIs yacht charter an attractive option whatever the time of year. Whether you are looking for an intimate family getaway enjoying the best beaches on a US Virgin Islands yacht charter or a keen sailor looking to get behind the helm of a world-class sailing superyacht on a BVIs superyacht charter, these Caribbean Islands deliver - and then some.

Get in touch with the experts at Bluewater to start planning your next Caribbean yacht charter and explore the beauty of the US Virgin Islands and BVIs for yourself!

South from Porto Cervo the beaches are named after a golden heydey. Spiaggia Ira takes its moniker from Ira von Fürstenberg, an aristocrat-actress born into the Agnelli clan. Spiaggia del Principe was christened in honour of the Aga Khan. Spiaggia Shirley Bassey was a favourite of the Welsh singer famed for her hits Goldfinger and Diamonds are Forever. By coincidence James Bond himself raced a Lotus Esprit down this 20-beach coastline in The Spy Who Loved Me. After exploring the seabed in his Lotus Esprit (watch the video clip on YouTube), 007 called in for cocktails at the Hotel Cala di Volpe. The establishment still welcomes sailors with one of the Mediterranean’s largest swimming pools, plus a new sushi bar by Nobu Matsuhisa.

Tavolara Island goes further back in time. This 5km-long massif rises in a cloud of juniper and mastic trees. The rich setting includes two giant sandbars. These powder soft peninsulas wash into a cerulean sea, where bottlenose dolphins hunt bluefin tuna. It’s so regal that young adventurer Paolo Bertoleoni declared himself monarch of Tavolara in 1861. His descendent, ‘King Antonio’, now rules over 11 islanders and runs the Da Tonino seafood restaurant while his niece, ‘Princess Maddalena’, owns a tiny beach bar. For royally good views ask an islander to lead the six-hour trek to Tavolara’s 565m summit. Due north the beaches of the Costa Smeralda shimmer like white diamonds displayed upon green velvet.

Looking for a unique place to experience the true beauty of yachting in Sardinia? One 17kmlong island is new to the superyacht scene. Midway between Sardinia and Corsica, Asinara was a penal colony, then a maximum security Mafia prison, before becoming a National Park in 1997. It has literally never been formally inhabited and maintains a census population of just 1. Visitors who arrive by tender disembark into a Jurassic Park of lentisk and juniper trees.

Some of Asinara’s beaches are look-don’t-touch, like the Tahiti sands of Cala d’Arena. More action-packed is a don’t-look-down hike to Punta Scomunica along tracks packed with mouflon sheep and feral donkeys.

Speak to the Bluewater experts about chartering a superyacht in the exclusive setting of Sardinia.

Fine dining in Palma de Mallorca

Lying within comfortable cruising distance of Valencia and Barcelona on mainland Spain, Palma de Mallorca is the largest of the Balaeric Islands. Many Balearics luxury yacht charters begin in the enchanting capital of Palma. With its impressive Medieval gothic architecture, gorgeous waterfront and wealth of luxury boutiques hidden in the meandering streets of Palma Old Town, Palma is the perfect island city to spend afternoons onshore. After an afternoon of sightseeing and shopping, indulge in an evening of world-class Mediterranean fine dining at one of the Michelin-star restaurants in Palma de Mallorca. The two-Michelin star Zaranda is owned by chef Fernando Pérez Arellano and located in the 5-star Castell Son Claret hotel in Es Capdellà, while the one-Michelin-starred Argos Restaurant is headed by innovative young chef Álvaro Salazar in Puerto Pollensa. For a more casual vibe, jump in the tender from your luxury yacht and spend an afternoon at one of the great beach clubs in Mallorca: check out Nikki Beach, Puro Beach Club, Beach Club Gran Folies or Ponderosa Beach.

Peaceful yacht charter Menorca

For those looking for a more secluded getaway on a Balearics yacht charter, the island of Menorca is a must. Lying just 30 miles north-east of Mallorca, see the best of both destinations and enjoy a relaxed cruise from island to island on your Balaerics luxury yacht charter.

Enjoying virtually no mass tourism, Menorca offers an opportunity for a more private and distinctly Spanish island getaway in the Mediterranean. From your yacht crew arranging an exclusive candlelit beach set up for a memorable evening with family and friends to immersing yourself in the nature of the impressive Cabrera National Park, Menorca offers something to make every Menorca yacht charter unique. Though not as busy as her larger neighbours, Menorca is still bursting with a vibrant Spanish atmosphere - visit at the end of June to see Menorca in full swing at the Sant Joan summer solstice festival!

Ibiza yacht life

50 miles south-west of Mallorca lies an island that needs no introduction: Ibiza. Home to undoubtedly the best clubs and beach clubs in the Mediterranean, the party scene of Ibiza is world-famous. An Ibiza superyacht charter is a fantastic way to enjoy the best of the Ibiza yacht life by night and head back to luxurious surroundings to rejuvenate in the onboard spa or swimming pool. Though famous for its fantastic beach clubs and nightclubs, Ibiza is more than just partying. The northern coast of Ibiza is home to a number of beautiful bays, perfect for a peaceful day enjoying the best of the beautiful Mediterranean ocean.

As one of the most popular superyacht cruising grounds, the variety of luxury charter yachts available in the Balearics is wide - from party-focused superyachts yachts to sailing charter yachts and everything in between. Learn more about a Balearics yacht charter as well as luxury yacht charters in the Mediterranean from the experts at Bluewater.

It’s no secret that the Caribbean and Bahamas have been affected by extreme weather in recent years, and the knock-on effect of the storms has, understandably, resulted in a decline in tourism activity for many beautiful destinations whose economies depend on it. Although several areas across the Caribbean and the Bahamas have suffered, many of the region’s best superyacht cruising grounds are perfectly intact - and just as worth a winter sun yacht charter as ever.

One of the best ways for superyacht charter guests to make an impact is to choose a Caribbean or Bahamas charter. An Exumas yacht charter offers pristine, crystal waters, shallow waters, outstanding anchorages and a truly unique experience. Most of the islands are uninhabited, making for a particularly remote and off the beaten track experience with complete privacy.

With 365 islands to discover in the Exumas, you can discover a new location every day. Here we look at the perfect Exumas cruising itinerary for your escape in the winter sun.

The perfect Exumas cruising itinerary

Start in the pirates’ playground of the Bahamas: Nassau. Bursting with colourful markets, exquisite seafood and a buzzing nightlife, kick off your Exumas yacht charter with a bang.

Head south through the Exumas and start your day by swimming through the mesmerising tunnels and large coral ways of The Canyons.

Then arrive at one of the biggest draws of an Exumas yacht charter: Staniel Cay where you can swim with the world-famous pigs. On a Christmas superyacht charter, this special experience becomes even more unique and is one of the most unforgettable highlights you can have on any winter sun vacation. Move on to Thunderball Grotto - a spectacular cave in Staniel Cay and famous for being featured in James Bond movies.

Head to Bonds Cay the next day to rest on pristine beaches, play on the yacht’s water toys or discover an underwater paradise in the crystal-clear water that the Exumas are known for.

Escape the crowds and discover secluded bays like Berry Islands for a more private experience.

As the sun starts to set, enjoy a family-style beach BBQ on board your superyacht - or spend a day relaxing in the onboard spa before preparing for a sophisticated dining experience under the stars in the balmy Bahamas air.

St Maarten

The Dutch and French island of St Maarten is the perfect starting point for a Caribbean superyacht charter. Packed with hidden bays and coves, explore the best of St Maarten from the comfort of your luxury charter yacht for a fantastic day cruising in the Caribbean with family and friends. Well known for its wide range of high-end restaurants, indulge in excellent cuisine by the shore near Simpson Bay for a fantastic Caribbean lunch, and spend long tropical days on the water with the toys of your luxury charter yacht.

For those looking for an active afternoon, head onshore for a hike as the temperatures drop in the early evening and enjoy a sunset view before returning to the yacht to admire St Maarten from the water.

St Barths

The luxury Caribbean island of St Barths has been a favourite winter sun destination of the rich and famous for decades - and it’s not hard to see why. The island’s beautiful rocky coastline and crystal-clear waters are the perfect places to unwind and relax, while the St Barths party scene is second to none. For those looking to soak up the best of the St Barths yacht life, St Barths serves up the ultimate Caribbean beach party vibes in several exclusive locations from Nikki Beach to Eden Rock’s Sand Bar. From an unforgettable beach party to a world-class sailing experience, St Barths is also home to the famous St Barths Bucket. Hosted in Gustavia Harbour every March, charter a sailing yacht and take part in the action, or simply sit back and watch some of the world’s finest luxury yacht racing.

St Kitts & Nevis

Offering incredible scenery and plenty of onshore activities, St Kitts & Nevis are two of the Caribbean’s best yacht charter destinations. Visit Christophe Harbour on St Kitts and relax in one of the best marinas in the Caribbean, enjoying the picture-perfect bays for fun days lounging on tropical beaches. Relatively lesser visited than the neighbouring islands of St Barths and St Maarten, a St Kitts & Nevis Caribbean yacht charter offers a touch of privacy in a busy Caribbean charter paradise.

Whether you are looking to experience the best of the yacht life with a luxury yacht charter in St Barths and St Maarten or you want to cruise the entire Leeward Islands on a summer-long yacht charter itinerary with family, contact the Caribbean yacht charter experts at Bluewater.

Miami

As the cultural, artistic, and entertainment center of Florida, Miami is highly spirited and filled with vibrant energy, making it a magnet for the world’s population. Miami only comes second to New York in terms of tourism in the U.S. and it is largely due to its warm weather, global events, sports and architecture. As you cruise down from Ft Lauderdale and weave into Miami’s intercoastal waterway, the magnificence of its appeal is evident in the mansions that line the mainland and the coast. You will certainly catch a glimpse of celebrity pads and monumental structures while relaxing on your charter yacht, sipping on wine accompanied by hors d’oeuvres all while enjoying the festive scenery. South Beach provides a wholesome experience that is comprised of the best international cuisine; housing countless 5-star restaurants, hotels, and several leading nightclubs – all within minutes of the water.

Ft Lauderdale

Previously a series of forts during the Second Seminole War in the mid 1800s, Ft Lauderdale is now known as the “Venice of America” with its intricate web of canals that are widely relished by yachters from all over the world. Cruise the system of canals on your luxury yacht and revel in fascinating restaurants, natural preserves, and the waterfront estates that house many of the 50,000 registered yachts in Ft Lauderdale.

Head over to the beach and bask in the sunshine, play with your charter yacht’s water toys and visit Las Olas, considered to be South Florida's most architecturally unique, authentic and eclectic shopping and dining district.

Key West

An intricate connection of islands leads to the Southernmost city in the contiguous United States, Key West. For centuries, sailors and yachters have explored the area, becoming infinitely fascinated by its beauty and biodiversity. The islands that make up the Keys are ideal for underwater exploration; some of the best diving and snorkeling locations can be found at John Pennekamp and Dry Tortugas. Relax the day away at the Little Palm Island Resort, known as one of the best islands in the country before heading to lively Key West, where Duval Street and Mallory Square offer some of the most upbeat bars you will ever encounter.
