Caribbean
By far the most popular destination for a winter yacht charter, the Caribbean Islands are an excellent choice for a cruise with family or friends. A Christmas yacht charter in the Caribbean offers the perfect combination of water fun, land adventure and relaxation. Among our favourite islands, the Windward Islands and the British Virgin Islands for their varied landscapes. Each island in the Caribbean has its own characteristics and we will base our suggestions on your preferences. There are islands particularly well suited for divers, adventurers, beach lovers, etc. In general, the Caribbean Islands have superb beaches of fine sand and there are many opportunities for water activities. On most islands, tourism is highly developed and the infrastructure is of very good quality.

Maldives
With over 1000 islands located on underwater volcanic chains, the Maldives is a true tropical paradise famous for its beaches, lagoons, coral reefs and biodiversity. The Maldives is a prime destination for a Christmas yacht rental and is particularly suitable for couples and scuba diving enthusiasts. In the Maldives, activities are more aquatic than land-based. Only the capital of Male offers some cultural and historical sights. The beauty of the Maldives does not stop at white sandy beaches and transparent waters.

South Pacific
The South Pacific is one of our preferred cruising areas for a winter yacht charter and in particular French Polynesia, Papua New Guinea and Australia. Cultures and landscapes vary radically from one island to another. While white sandy beaches and coconut palms are omnipresent in the region, some islands have their own particularities, such as New Zealand with its mountainous landscapes and waterfalls. Ashore you will meet a welcoming population and discover ancestral cultures. You will be surprised to find that most of the islands are not untainted by tourism. Many dream about these distant seas but few actually venture there. You will most likely never forget the unique and authentic experiences that will be offered to you during your yacht charter in the South Pacific. In addition to enjoying the equipment on your yacht, you will also be able to enjoy a wide range of water activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing and fishing. The South Pacific has magnificent seabed, including the world's most famous reef, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
