Follow the sun: Plan your winter charter escape today
As the seasons shift, new horizons call. The same sun, yet a world away, guiding us from the vibrant bustle of the Mediterranean to the calm of the Caribbean, the rich wildlife of Central and South America, and the far-flung beauty of the South Pacific. Follow the sun to a season that never ends on a luxury winter yacht charter.
While winter draws in at home, elsewhere the days are long, the waters warm and the skies impossibly clear. From the vibrancy of St Barths to the untamed beauty of the South Pacific, a winter charter offers the perfect balance of discovery and indulgence. Swap the familiar chill for hidden coves, vibrant reefs and sun-drenched decks — the promise of summer, alive all year round
With demand already high and bookings filling fast, now is the moment to secure your winter escape, whether celebrating the festive season or seeking a relaxing getaway with family and friends. To inspire your plans, we highlight some of the best winter charter destinations along with a curated a selection of exceptional yachts, ready for the charter of a lifetime.
Top winter charter destinations
The Caribbean remains a charterer’s dream, one of the world’s most celebrated cruising grounds, where white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and vibrant cultures are spread across more than 7,000 islands. Whether it’s a tranquil escape in Grenada, snorkelling adventures in Turks & Caicos, adrenaline fuelled water sports in St Lucia, or the famed nightlife of the Bahamas, the Caribbean offers an experience for every mood.
To the west, Mexico is fast emerging as a must visit for yacht charterers, thanks to its perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and worldclass cuisine. Drift through the turquoise waters of the Riviera Maya, soak up the bohemian charm of Isla Holbox, explore the rugged beauty of Baja California, or revel in the lively nightlife of Cabo San Lucas: Mexico delivers it all.
For something truly different, Central America’s Costa Rica invites discovery. Wander through Corcovado and Manuel Antonio National Parks, where dense jungle meets untouched beaches alive with sloths, howler monkeys, and toucans. Cruise to the Golfo Dulce for fishing, dolphin watching, or diving in vibrant marine ecosystems, and for thrill seekers, try surfing in Santa Teresa or ziplining above the Monteverde Cloud Forest.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the dreamy islands of French Polynesia beckon. Bora Bora and Tahiti, long loved by travellers, enchant with their lush peaks, sugar soft beaches, luminous lagoons, and warm Polynesian spirit. Hike through jungle trails to uncover ancient petroglyphs, explore sacred sites, and share in local life over freshly caught fish and a chilled Hinano beer.
Further across the South Pacific, Fiji offers an irresistible charter experience across its 300 plus islands. The Mamanuca and Yasawa chains are a haven of secluded beaches, worldclass diving, and some of the best snorkelling in the region. Combined with its rich cultural heritage and famously warm hospitality, Fiji promises an unforgettable escape, perfect for families and travellers alike.
Life onboard: More than a destination
A winter charter is as much about the time spent onboard as the horizons you explore. Each yacht is a private sanctuary, shaped for comfort, freedom and discovery. Wake to a golden sunrise, with the only sound being the soft ripple of water against the hull, before greeting the day with yoga on deck or a refreshing swim straight from the beach club.
Your private chef brings the flavours of your destination to life — lobster caught that morning in the Caribbean, served with golden plantain and a splash of rum butter, ceviche prepared with a Mexican twist, or freshly grilled mahi-mahi enjoyed barefoot on a Fijian beach. Every meal is an experience, whether fine dining under the stars or a casual feast after a day of adventure.
Beyond dining, the possibilities unfold at your pace. Glide across lagoons by paddleboard, explore reefs with snorkel or scuba gear, or take to the skies on a kiteboard. Submersibles invite you into the mysteries of the deep, while tender excursions lead to secluded coves and deserted beaches. As evening falls, the decks transform into a private retreat — a spa treatment with the ocean as your backdrop, cocktails in the jacuzzi, or a family film beneath the stars.
