If your idea of luxury is adventure, then a private yacht is genuinely your perfect match. For those who thrill in exotic experiences and unlikely places, there can be no better vacation than a superyacht charter to satisfy your soul.
A yacht allows you to travel in the lap of luxury while getting your fill of adrenaline and wonder — whether that’s camping overnight on an iceberg in Antarctica, diving with manta rays and hammerheads in the Maldives, or floating through desert archipelagos in the Red Sea, taking camel treks to date-palm oases and tearing down sand dunes in dune buggies.
A yacht gives you an up-close view of some of the wildest and most remote places on earth and the heady freedom to chart your own course with the captain and explore it as you choose.
But you don’t have to go so far off the beaten track to have an adventure on a superyacht. Every day on a private yacht will bring adventure no matter the destination — partying on sandbars in the Bahamas, kitesurfing off Cannes, and jumping off the top of the yacht into the sea, bodies silhouetted in a perfect, falling moment against the setting sun.
Every day a different place. Every day a new horizon. What better type of holiday for adventure-seekers than a superyacht? A superyacht charter offers you a front-row seat for adventure and reminds you how good it is to be alive.
So, where to go for a true yachting adventure? Bluewater can organise once-in-a-lifetime adventure yacht charters right across the planet, whether you’re dreaming of sport fishing in Costa Rica, diving a WWII bomber graveyard in Chuuk Lagoon in Micronesia, or watching glaciers calve into the sea in Alaska.
Sometimes, part of the adventure is the thrill of going where few have before, even in places with an edge of danger. A place that shocks you with its fierce natural beauty and even fiercer wildlife.
The remote Australian Kimberley is one of our top picks for this no-holds-barred adventure. Some of the largest tides on earth create horizontal waterfalls and reefs that rise out of the water, the barramundi fishing is insane, and monster crocs lurk under thundering waterfalls.
In a place like this, under fearsome sunsets in a rugged landscape of rust-red cliffs and lonely archipelagos, the luxury of the yacht — the soft carpets, the crystal glassware, the fine dining — feel like an almost shocking juxtaposition against the searing, almost hostile grandeur of the world outside. In such wild places, luxury takes on a shimmer again, and it regains its decadence. Luxury is reborn.
If you’re looking for a place to restore your sense of wonder and remind you how good it is to be alive, a yacht charter in the Australian Kimberley is a top contender.
Every superyacht on earth is built for adventure — to cross oceans and show guests the time of their lives. But there is one type of yacht in the class that is literally made for remote adventures: the explorer yacht, also known as the expedition yacht.
These luxurious, long-range yachts carry everything needed for a thrilling, safe, decadently luxurious holiday. Because they operate far from yachting centres, they offer impressive amenities onboard, like day spas, cinemas, swimming pools, a dazzling range of water toys, and a highly trained, adventurous crew specialising in sports instruction and wellness.
Really want to push the boat out? Consider chartering a superyacht with a support yacht that carries all the toys, from helicopters to dive rooms and even submarines!
What is luxury to you? If adventuring is what thrills you, and you want to be reminded of the life-changing power of luxury, then an adventure yachting holiday is calling your name and calling it loudly.
