Are you craving adventure with a side of luxury this winter? On a Costa Rica yacht charter, you can summit volcanoes, bathe in hot springs in the jungle, and hike through the rainforest — watching for jaguars, monkeys, and tapirs. White water raft or zipline in the cloud forests, surf the epic breaks at Nosara or Pavones, or golf and dine in the luxury resorts of Papagayo Peninsula. On the Osa Peninsula, watch humpbacks and dolphins gather in great numbers, or indulge in some of the finest sportfishing on earth.
Because the country is so narrow, you can even take a short helicopter trip over the volcanic spine of the country, and pop over to the Caribbean coast for a day to check out the sloths, kayak through the flooded forests, or chill out on another stunning beach. Costa Rica is capitalising on its rise as a superyacht destination, with several world-class luxury marinas, including the IYC Marina on the Papagayo Peninsula and Golfito Marina on the Osa Peninsula.

New Zealand is a land of many wonders, from its turquoise sub-tropical beaches and vineyards in the north to the snow-capped Alps and deep fiords of the South Island. Adventurous charterers will be in their element as they explore ‘the land of the long white cloud’, anchoring and swimming in the picturesque Bay of Islands, rafting through caves lit by glow worms, and hiking epic tracks across volcanoes and glaciers.
