When thoughts turn to luxury holidays, you probably imagine five star hotels or stunning private villas. But there is another option – you could charter a yacht for the ultimate luxury holiday!
Now, full disclosure here, this is definitely not a budget travel experience. But if you’re looking for something a little out of the ordinary, chartering a yacht offers everything you could want. It’s perfect for a romantic honeymoon or anniversary, a glamorous island-hopping adventure or the family holiday of a lifetime.
Forget waiting in queues for your meals or struggling to find a free sun lounger. From the moment you step on board your exclusive charter yacht, you enter a world of relaxation, glamour and indulgence.
So here are just a few of the reasons why a charter yacht could be the perfect holiday for you:
The ultimate luxury holiday
Chartering a yacht is like hiring a luxurious hotel for your own private use. You never have to share the facilities and your attentive staff will be on hand throughout your holiday.
When you charter a yacht through an experienced broker like Oyster Yachts, they will work with you to make sure that every aspect of your holiday is perfect. You can tailor details from the destination itinerary to the delicious food and drink on board.
You can choose from a range of fully equipped luxury yachts with beautifully decorated cabins and staterooms. Facilities on board will include entertainment systems, music libraries and WiFi where available.
And your professional crew will be fully briefed and ready to make sure that you have the ultimate holiday experience. You’ll always get the best table in the house and everything will be cooked just to your liking.

An escape from mass tourism
If you’re looking for a change of pace from big hotels and crowded cruise ships, a yacht charter is the ideal way to get away from the tourist crowds.
You can spend as much or as little time as you like on-shore, and enjoy the privacy you’ve been craving.
And if living through a pandemic has left you feeling wary about mass tourism, you can rest assured that chartering a yacht is a very Covid-secure way to travel.
Freedom to travel where you please
Travelling by charter yacht gives you the chance to experience beautiful destinations with an itinerary that’s made just for you.
You’ll be able to choose from a range of exclusive private sailing yacht charters in locations like the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and New England. Whether you want to visit a glamorous city, a secluded beach or a distant island, you have the freedom to go where you choose. And sailing to your destinations by yacht gives you the chance to see them from a different perspective.
Your days on board will be filled with crystal clear waters, beautiful landscapes and stunning sunsets.

You’ll never get bored at sea
Travelling by chartered yacht gives you the chance to do as much or as little as you want. There’s always something new to see on the horizon, and plenty of locations waiting to be explored.
Then there’s the watersports, with many chartered yachts having their own water skis, paddleboards, snorkel gear and more. Many also have diving experts in their crew and you’ll be able to access the best locations for fishing or scuba diving.
And of course, sailing through crystal clear waters gives you the most amazing private pool you can imagine!
The perfect way to relax
If that sounds too energetic, a charter yacht is also one of the most relaxing and restorative ways to travel.
Forget crowded departure lounges and tour buses, or the hustle and bustle of city traffic. All you need to do is to step on board and let the waves carry you away.
Time at sea seems to stretch on forever, and the soothing surroundings invite you to switch off from the world. So you can relax with a book, enjoy an outdoor movie night or just doze off in the sun.
With stunning locations, delicious cuisine, exciting activities and luxurious surroundings, chartering a yacht is surely the ultimate dream holiday!
