Your idea of luxury is action. Fast cars, gorgeous yachts, fine wine and parties where beautiful people dance on tables with champagne spraying in the air. It’s being seen living your best life — an extraordinary, stratospheric life that few people will ever experience. It’s grabbing life and shaking it until you’ve squeezed every last drop of thrills to be had. You enjoy late nights, luxury, and perhaps most importantly, the freedom to do as you please.
A superyacht is a hedonist’s fantasy: an ultra-luxury private island that floats between the most glamorous places on earth, offering spectacular fine dining from a private chef and superb service from an elite crew.
The yacht has a fleet of water toys and high-speed tenders to fulfil your desire for adrenaline, as well as an endless list of high-octane activities — from night diving with hammerheads to sportfishing in the Bahamas, followed by a party on board that goes until dawn.
On a superyacht, you’re in control of your experience. The captain is on hand to fulfil every whim, whether it be a last-minute change of itinerary or securing you the best VIP tables in town.
Watch the crowd gather as your superyacht docks in Saint Tropez in the summertime— or glory in the almost electric excitement of having a yacht in St Barts on New Year’s Eve. A yacht allows you to dine and party in some of the most exclusive venues in the world before retiring to cast off into a paradise of white sand beaches and sunlit seas.
What is a yacht holiday? It’s barefoot glamour and dressing in designer gowns to dine under the moon. It’s partying in VIP lounges with heiresses and movie stars. It’s waking at noon to find that the captain has moved the yacht to boho-chic Formentera, where you pass your day jumping off the sundeck and playing on the jet skis, getting ready for another epic night in the White Isle. It’s wild nights and lazy days.
It’s whatever you want it to be.
This question has many answers, depending on how you get your thrills.
For some, it will be a vacation in the South of France during the Monaco Grand Prix and Cannes Film Festival, eating at Michelin-starred restaurants and finishing the night at Jimmy’z, rubbing shoulders with racing car drivers and screen royalty.
A French Riviera superyacht charter allows you to power along the coast, arriving in style wherever you go — a beach club in Saint Tropez, an haute couture shopping spree in Cannes, or an idyllic afternoon at the Hotel du Cap, looking out at the Bay of Angels from the pine-shaded gardens of the Cap-d’Antibes. A holiday destination favoured by royalty and celebrity since the late 1800s, the French Riviera is the original fast lane for the superyacht set, where luxury and glamour have soaked into the air.
For others, it might be a Middle East charter, watching the Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi, or fine dining atop skyscrapers or under the sea in Dubai. It’s shopping for gold in the bustling souks, hot air ballooning over the desert, or listening to an opera singer atop the dunes, her voice soaring into the Arabian night.
It’s a day in one of the most hedonistic spas on earth — great columned temples of pools and steam— and classical music concerts in a desert oasis, drinking champagne under the date palms. It’s driving a dune buggy down a giant desert dune or driving a supercar along a desert highway, your Lamborghini a bright yellow streak against a horizon where a Bedouin on a camel is silhouetted against the setting sun.
A yacht allows you to do everything and more — live the high life in Miami, Monte Carlo, the Hamptons, or Hvar.
Superyachts, with their luxury accommodation, sundeck Jacuzzis and private chefs, are built for those who love life in the fast lane.
If you’re a person who loves going fast and you want to shake every last moment of luxury out of your vacation, we might suggest chartering a fast ‘planing’ yacht that allows you to cover a lot of cruising ground. Planing superyachts can achieve astonishing top speeds of up to 70 knots, meaning you can zip between Monaco and Saint Tropez or Miami and the Keys in a flash.
High-speed tenders and chase boats can also fulfil your need for speed, and while we’re on the topic, we can recommend some yachts with epic ‘toy’ chests, such as helicopters, jetpacks, electric surfboards, and even submarines.
Consider how much time you will spend on the yacht and which amenities are essential. Is a beach club a must-have? A spa? Would you like to entertain on board with a glittering yacht party or dinner parties, or do you think you’ll be going ashore for meals a lot? The ‘perfect’ yacht is different for everyone, so we strongly suggest you take advantage of our charter team’s deep knowledge of the fleet and share your idea of the ultimate vacation so we can make your perfect yachting match.
On a yacht, you live your life to the fullest, pushing far beyond the boundaries of everyday life. So, if you’re the type of person for whom luxury is the fast lane, a superyacht charter calls your name and calls it loudly.
