As our modern lives are increasingly dictated by digital diaries, spontaneity itself can feel like a luxury.
But it’s not the kind of luxury we all lust after. We want chic sun decks, bijou beach clubs, private terraces, five-star service, and freedom to explore.
Don’t be a slave to your schedule. This summer, surprise your friends and family by booking a charter holiday tailored to you on one of these spectacular yachts, which all have availability in August, and which come with an array of next-level luxury amenities that will exceed your expectations, whatever you’re in the mood for.
Wellness charters with August availability
In the need of some self-care and relaxation? With a private terrace, a glass-bottomed pool and a spa, ANDREA yacht could be just the tonic, and has availability in the South of France from 28 July onwards.
ARROW yacht is also available in the South of France (this time from 27 August onwards) and comes with a full-beam beach club with massage room and steam room, plus a Jacuzzi and gym on the sun deck.
AHPO yacht’s serene nature-inspired spa connects to an oversized beach club and can be yours to charter from 25 August onwards in the South of France.
PHOENIX 2 yacht, available from 14-20 August in Croatia, is a beautiful Art Deco inspired yacht with a wellness centre that has a massage room, gym and Hammam as well as a split-level Master suite with private Jacuzzi.
And who wouldn’t feel better after a holiday on board RESILIENCE yacht, which has both a Jacuzzi on the sun deck and a deep pool on the aft deck, with steps down to the beach club, and is available from 23 August to 7 September in the West Med.
Yacht charters for celebrations
Perhaps you have something that deserves celebrating – a big birthday, an engagement, or exam results? Well, we have a couple of very special yachts for that too.
PARILLION yacht, which is available from 23-31 August in the West Med, is an incredibly opulent yacht with a long list of amenities, including an adjustable hardtop roof for optional shade, alfresco dining and a 3.5m swimming pool with its own waterfall.
Likewise, TREEHOUSE yacht has a huge 100ft sun deck with an oversized Jacuzzi and full nightclub setup that even includes a foam machine and is available in the West Med from 22-31 August.
Yacht charters that allow you to switch off
For an intimate charter where you can focus on quality time together, book a charter aboard ALEGRIA II, which is available from 16-28 August in Sardinia and from 20 September onwards in the South of France.
And if it’s privacy you are after, then yachts don’t come much more discreet than DAR which has been designed in such a way as to protect guests from prying eyes. She is available from 23 August onwards in the Med.
Yachts for family charters
Looking for a last-minute charter to enjoy with the family?
DEEP BLUE II offers flexible accommodation that can be adapted to your family’s needs and is available from 28 August onwards in Naples.
Also offering flexible accommodation is GRACE yacht, which comes with both a Master suite and a double cabin on the main deck for families who want their own space, and she is available from 27 August until the end of September in the West Med.
Meanwhile, EMERALD yacht, available from 27 August onwards in France, has both an elevator for access to all decks and lots of water toys, including inflatables, making it great for multigenerational getaways.
Yachts for active charters
Looking to ramp up the excitement this summer? PREFERENCE 19 is available from 6-18 August and 1 September onwards in Sicily or Naples and is jam-packed with sports equipment and water toys, from a basketball hoop and punch bag to a Nautibuoy inflatable platform.
Likewise, guests aboard SPORT yacht can take a clue from the title and stay in shape if they book a charter this summer in the Med thanks to the available PowerBlock free weights, Peloton bike, rowing machine, paddleboards, wakeboards, diving gear, and much more.
If sailing is more your thing, then PERSEUS has a rare gap from 7-17 August in Naples and comes with a trio of Seabobs and raft of other toys that will keep thrill seekers happy.
Yachts for new adventures
Perhaps this year you fancy going somewhere you’ve never been before? How about French Polynesia where PERSEUS^3 has availability from 15 August until 15 September? Offering exceptional sailing performance and newly redesigned Christian Liaigre guest areas, she is a dream charter yacht.
If you’ve been fantasising about turquoise seas and chilled vibes this year, then get in there quick with AMIGOS, which is currently available in the Bahamas, and comes with both a sun deck pool and a large beach club.
And finally, the brand-new pocket superyacht MARTITA is available from 12 August onwards in Sicily or Naples and comes with a draft so shallow that she can reach many of the anchorages that will have been out of bounds to you before.
Make this the summer of spontaneity: act on impulse and book a bespoke charter holiday for you and the people you cherish most in your life and create memories that will last forever.
