TRAVEL IN STYLE

How to Get There

A superyacht may be the epitome of luxury travel, but how you get to your dream destination can be an equally fun part of the vacation. Unplug and unwind as you cover the miles by air, sea or land.

WORDS MIRIAM CAIN

The meaning of luxury travel is different for each person. For some, it may be about getting to their destination as quickly and stress-free as possible. For others, the journey might be just as important as the destination. From private jets to luxurious trains, there is so much more to the luxury travel experience than simply arriving.

Whichever mode of transport you choose to travel to your dream destination, Northrop & Johnson’s charter experts are on hand to advise on the most suitable options.

Private Jet

Arguably the most important element of a luxury vacation is creating a personalized experience, and few things could be more exclusive (other than a superyacht, that is) than flying private. Combining a yacht charter with private jet travel has to be the very definition of traditional luxury. Think of the flexibility, the comfort, the amenities, the privacy, the ease of booking and, of course, the ability to choose any destination on the map. Add to this some transformative experiences and you have the ultimate trip of a lifetime.

The Itinerary

With access to more than 5,000 airports in more than 200 countries, the world’s most stunning yachting destinations are never out of reach with Northrop & Johnson’s private aviation partner NetJets. Flying with NetJets not only affords high levels of security, bit it also provides a means to escape media attention, the masses and the complexities of daily life. When it comes to flying by private jet, it isn’t a case of “one jet fits all.” Looking to celebrate a milestone event with friends with a long weekend yacht charter in The Bahamas? For a short jaunt from the busy streets of New York to the idyllic Bahamas, NetJets recommend one of the most popular midsize cabin private jets in the world, Cessna’s Citation Latitude. Alternatively, for those looking to fly transatlantic, the Bombardier Global 6000 has a 13.5-hour range. Ideal for a multigenerational family charter in the Mediterranean, for example, the Global 6000 carries up to 13 passengers. With a private room for those looking for uninterrupted rest while up in the air, guests will arrive relaxed and refreshed, ready to embark on a memorable family charter. netjets.com
