As the yuletide season approaches, the call of shimmering seas and festive horizons beckons for a unique celebration aboard your vessel. When spending Christmas and New Year onboard a Superyacht, the right destination is crucial for ensuring an unforgettable experience for your guests. From navigating the azure waters of the Caribbean to chartering the chic ports of the French Riviera, this article is your compass to some of the best places to charter for Christmas and New Year – that can make this holiday season truly magical.
1. Caribbean
Escape the winter chill with a classic Caribbean charter with warm weather and pristine beaches.
Consider St Maarten. Its turquoise waters, scenic beaches, and lively ambiance are sure to guarantee an unforgettable charter. From exploring the charm of Simpson Bay to enjoying watersports in Grand Case and jungle zip-lining at Loterie Farm, St Maarten promises a great holiday.
Chartering in Antigua, the renowned Leeward Island, offers an unparalleled Caribbean cruising experience. Explore historic towns like English and Falmouth Harbour, once frequented by Admiral Nelson, now hosting fully equipped Superyacht marinas. Discover the natural beauty of Devil’s Bridge and the North Sound, where you might encounter South Atlantic Stingrays.

If the tried and tested Caribbean isn’t on your radar this year, the Seychelles are the unique alternative for a stylish Christmas and New Year celebration. With each island offering unique experiences, chartering a superyacht is the optimal way to explore the Seychelles’ amazing beauty and diversity.
While larger islands like Mahe offer vibrant towns and evening entertainment, exploring the smaller islands and coves reveals an undiscovered and wild atmosphere.
