Ultimate Super LUXURY HOLIDAYS

Nowadays, there are a great number of ULTIMATE LUXURY HOLIDAY options one can embark on around the world.

Super rich have a great choice amongst many custom made vacations offered across all six major continents. As an example, a premiership footballer could hire an entire island in the Caribbean, such as the Richard Branson's Neckar paradise.  In another instance, a highly successful businessman can rent a superb multiple-bedroom villa in South of France where his family can enjoy their own facilities such as a cinema room, wine cellar, a tennis court or a fully equipped gym, and an A-list celebrity could simply hop onto a privately chartered jet and embark on an African Safari made just for their closest entourage as part of an engagement party where travelling large distances by car can be prohibitively time-consuming.

And I know for the fact that even some of our super yacht charter clients who regularly sail on mega yachts around the world, need an occasional holiday which would allow them to explore the wonders of this world or their other side of personality.  In such situations they seek an alternative adventure, a once in a lifetime trip which is not available on a super yacht getaway, or a sublime escape away from the usual luxury crewed yacht charter destinations they cover in the summer season around the Mediterranean, or in the winter season around the Caribbean. If you have never chartered a super mega yacht though, you are likely to first consider a number of other ultimate luxury holidays before seriously considering super yacht charter. And indeed, you will stumble across huge number of options, from environmentally responsible escapes, perhaps the odd millionaire lifestyle cruise with obligatory suite and balcony, a de-luxe, boat and land fully guided cycling tour in Western Europe or some of the longer term land tours that in many  cases may commence with unique experiences such as the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti before going on to explore the Ngorongoro Crater and finish with a climb of the mount Kilimanjaro on foot.

In other situations, a British based holiday maker could for example decide to stay at home and secure London Eye for their own private use, get an after-hours access to the Tower of London in order to view Crown Jewels and a lavish banquet or get a private class by a major golf star or a celebrity chef.  This of course in case you would consider it a holiday at all, let alone an ultimate, super luxury one. 

In any case, most of us have probably received polite hints from their partner in love that for honeymoon only the best will do. The best are of course the Maldives and Reethi Rah or the not so bling, or over the top Velaa Private Island is supposedly the way to go. Providing affluent holidaymakers with what the crave most, privacy and space in the most beautiful part of the world namely, as well as subtle and discreete service, isn't this what would be deemed as an ultimate, super luxury holiday ?

In general, whatever the inspiration, occasion or the reason for going away, a super-rich traveller of today will always want to travel in great comfort, enjoying the chosen luxury lifestyle from the moment they leave the house to their return back home.

So, do any of the above luxury holidays offer all the benefits of a super yacht charter, primarily the ultimate in time, space and privacy?
Does any of these quality as an ultimate, super luxury holiday, offering you the options for you to genuinely relax and do what you really would like to do?
For example, will you have the option of deciding when exactly to you’re your bespoke luxury breakfast, where to have it and what type of breakfast to have ? Or would you have to be at 9am in the breakfast room, eating something you don’t' really like, served by someone you don't' really know, even though this is a 7 star super luxury hotel in Dubai? Or would you be more happy discussing your breakfast options with your own chef and chief stewardess while relaxing in a Jacuzzi on the bridge deck of your own super yacht while it is moored in a picturesque bay, while your children or friends are safely instructed on how to use all the water sport toys available for free use on board. Add to this the hostess serving freshly prepared homemade drinks, allowing you and your partner to seamlessly enjoy the breathtaking vistas of the best scenery for miles around you becoming your own private views, including the fun your children or friends are currently having on the water and you are getting closer to heaven.

A friend of ours recently returned from a self-arranged epicurean trip visiting a great number of three-Michelin-star restaurants in Western Europe. While he and his partner enjoyed this unique experience and some absolutely amazing dinners, they still preferred the superb meals prepared by Michellin star experienced chefs on board the yachts they chartered in the past. Thus, the answer seems logical to us. What about you ?

Having considered a number of these and many other options, our view and indeed best assumption is that mega yacht charter or super yacht charter will indeed be seen as the best way to relax, escape or enjoy yourself.  This is not only because when you charter a super yacht, only there can you find a total seclusion, total privacy.   It is because whatever you do and whatever you crave to do, on here, on board of a super yacht, you can also enjoy the whole range of other options such as cycling, exploring, walking, hiking, in other words, whatever you please.  And of course, we should not forget about snorkelling on a deserted beach, jet skiing in a secluded bay or sunbathing on the sun deck while sipping cocktails prepared by your own servants on board of the chosen super yacht, which you cannot do on any other type of super luxury holidays.

Thus, given the increasing number of super yachts available around the world, including some of the most secluded regions such as Antarctica and Alaska as well as the new destinations such as Brasil, Panama, Middle East, South Pacific, Galapagos or the fact a number of yachts embark on circumnavigation around the globe every year, we firmly suggest that you should consider super yacht or luxury crewed charter more seriously or once again and book your mega yacht shortly.
