5 unique destinations best experienced by yacht
For those looking for the ultimate getaway, chartering a yacht can allow you to go one step further and discover some of the world’s most amazing landscapes in a completely unique way. In addition to allowing you to set sail and enjoy views from your own private deck, yacht charter also provides you with on-hand facilities that would rival that of a five star hotel. What’s more, you will also have a dedicated Captain, crew and chef who will ensure an unforgettable holiday for you and your closest friends and family.
Here are five destinations that are best experienced by yacht:
Cocos Island
Located around 550km off the Pacific shore of Costa Rica, Cocos Island boasts four bays, a mountainous landscape and a number of short rivers and streams. It has over 200 waterfalls throughout and boasts a tropical climate with an average temperature of around 26 degrees.
Cocos Island has breathtaking marine life and one of the world’s largest schools of Hammerhead Sharks is regularly reported there. The island, which does not allow inhabitants other than Costa Rican Park Rangers, was also named as one of the best diving spots in the world by PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors).
It has also been claimed that 350 tons of gold has been buried on the island!
Antarctica
If you’re looking for a holiday that will never be forgotten, a luxury expedition yacht in Antarctica provides a life-changing adventure that very few get to experience. Utilising a specialist crew and vessel, you can explore this remote landscape whilst still enjoying the luxury facilities of a private yacht.
Antarctica offers an abundance of wildlife and untouched natural scenery that cannot be found anywhere else. Whether you would like to undertake a nature trek or go ice diving with a specialist instructor, there really is no other place in the world like Antarctica.
Central and South America
Whether you’re looking to experience the vibrant Brazil, the stunning wildlife of the Galapagos Islands or the remote Patagonia, a yacht charter to Central or South America offers something for everyone.
These areas are often thought of as very hard to reach, however many of the World’s best yachts are now located here making an adventure in Central or South America easier than ever before.
Virgin Islands
Notoriously hard to get to without a yacht, the Virgin Islands provides an array of beaches, natural seawater pools and coral islands that have to be seen to be appreciated. Whether you would like to visit some of the island’s famous towns or spend the day or white beaches dotted with coconut palm trees, the Virgin Islands provides something for those of all ages.
Cuba
Renowned for its vibrant culture and picturesque beaches, Cuba’s really does live up to its reputation.
Whether you would like to visit the capital city of La Havana, renowned for its cobbled streets and vibrant colours, or visit some of Cuba’s endless sandy beaches and crystal turquoise waters, a yacht charter really does provide an unrivalled experience that will never be forgotten.

After a dodgy experience on a speedboat in India I didn’t think that boating would appeal to me again… until this article! The Antartica cruise looks just stunning, it would be amazing to visit a place so uninhabited. The Galapagos islands are also definitely on our bucket list and I’ve heard that boat is the best way to go to see all the wildlife- thanks for the tips!
I hadn’t heard of Cocos islands before; it sounds fascinating! Not sure whether I’m intrigued or terrified by the idea of diving with hammerhead sharks but the largest group in the world is a cool title to have! And the 350 tons of gold is definitely an appeal quite aside from the amazing weather and wildlife!
I’ve always wanted to sail on a catamaran; not sure why I just really fancy it! Going somewhere exotic like these places would be an added bonus. I never thought of Cuba as a sailing destination, could be interesting!
WOW! I wanna go for the second one. That must be amazing and exciting! Just see the ice everywhere,and untouched natural scenery must be attractive. Thanks for sharing.
A yacht around Cocos Island sounds breathtaking. 200 waterfalls? Just wow. How unique. The climate also sounds great, 26 degrees Celsius is just the type of heat I like, although I’m guessing it is very humid there. I wonder how much wildlife there is on the island? A yacht also offers the perfect opportunity for getting close to sealife, as well as snorkeling and swimming, so is perfect for an unforgettable holiday in my opinion.
This is such a great idea, before I experienced being on a yacht I thought of all the places I would visit, but then when actually stepping onto one … my mind went blank!! All of these places would of course be best experienced on an actual paid yacht experience as opposed to a private one aha. I wouldn’t trust our family friend to take us on an Antarctic expedition!
