Are you ready to wake up on your own floating 5* hotel with freshly made breakfast every morning? Have dedicated crew on board ready to assist in any adventure you’d like to do? And top it all off with your favourite beverage from your own private bar? What could be better? 

Chartering a yacht is one of the most exclusive holidays available. Offering complete privacy for you and your guests as well as a range of water sports equipment on board including jet skis, paddle boards, kayaks and snorkelling equipment, allowing you to enjoy activities as well as relaxation in the most beautiful destinations.

Most superyachts have between three and six cabins, sleeping up to a total of 12 guests, and you can expect to find facilities such as a bar, entertainment area, indoor lounge, jacuzzi and large outdoor lounging area on board.

As well as enjoying the yacht and her facilities and the destination itself, the crew will find hidden beaches for days of sunbathing and be able to organise excursions such as diving, hiking or simply a lunch ashore at your request.

Superyacht charter specialists, West Nautical, have put together five of the most beautiful winter destinations where you can charter your own yacht and have the experience of a lifetime!

Caribbean

 The first place we often think of when we hear the word ‘paradise’, is the Caribbean. It is the ultimate destination for relaxation and beauty.

If you’re seeking some winter sunshine and entertainment for you and your family or closest friends, then the Caribbean is the place for you! With over 5,000 islands to explore and limitless open water, the Caribbean is an ocean lover’s playground.  Thrill seekers can enjoy water sports and diving in the reefs and cays, or, if that’s not your scene, you can opt to lay back and relax on one of the secluded white-sand beaches.

Visit Gustavia Harbour in St Barts for shopping, nightlife, restaurants, and European comforts. Enjoy the golden sunset in St Lucia or retreat to the deserted beaches of Anegada surrounded by the native pink flamingos. The options are endless!

For off the beaten track activities, why not spend a day diving at Sculpture Park, a famous dive site in the oceans of Grenada or enjoying a hike to the Dunn waterfalls in Jamaica.

Another incredible destination in the Caribbean are the British Virgin Islands, providing an array of beaches, natural seawater pools and coral islands that have to be seen to be appreciated.

Made up of more than 60 islands and islets, you will experience white sand beaches at every turn. Beach bars are located in many popular bays and there are also many unexplored and uninhabited locations for those moments when you’re looking for ultimate privacy.

The BVI’s are one of the world’s most idyllic locations with its’ year-round warm weather and the opportunity to part take in a huge variety of activities including kite surfing or going on a world class reef or wreck dive.

Maldives

Nestled within the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are a tropical nation of 26 atolls made up of over 1,190 coral islands and islets.
