Motor yacht Top Shelf for charter in Florida and the Bahamas

Summer may be over but there’s still time to top up your tan before 2022 on a Florida and Bahamas luxury yacht charter aboard motor yacht TOP SHELF.

Ferretti 870 yacht – sistership

This 26.5m/87ft motor yacht is ideal for island hopping between the shops, bars and clubs and the best beaches hidden amongst the Florida Keys. Discover the legacy of Hemingway and visit the Biscayne National Park for snorkelling, hiking along the shores and taking in the work of local artists in the gallery.

If you want more of nature and less of civilisation, the Out Islands in the Bahamas is one glorious white sand beach after another – and a few pink ones too. Leave your cares behind as you dip your toes into the turquoise blue waves lapping the shores and spend quality time with family and friends away from modern-day distractions.

After a full day under the warm winter sun, the air-conditioned salon will be a welcome change, where plush furnishings and top-notch entertainment systems will entertain the group before an incredible meal is served at the formal dining area.

Both the main deck aft and flybridge offer choices for alfresco dining and lounging, while sun worshippers have the choice of adjustable sunbeds on the foredeck as well as the flybridge.

The selection of water toys offers plenty to entertain family members of all ages and interests: The Seadoo jet ski is new for 2021 and will satisfy adrenaline seekers, while those who want to discover the range of wildlife in the area have paddleboards and snorkelling gear at their disposal. On languid days, the collection of floats are perfect for relaxing in the warm clear waters.

There’s plenty of room onboard for up to 12 guests while cruising, and the overnight accommodation sleeps a total of 8 guests over 4 en-suite cabins: 1 Master suite, 2 double cabins and 1 twin cabin.

Top Crewed Luxury Yacht Charter Destinations 2021/2022: the Maldives, Indonesia, South Pacific and the Galapagos

From the beautiful South Pacific Islands to the sun-blessed shallows of the Maldives, there are enchanting and exotic destinations the world over that, by luxury charter yacht, make the best holiday choice for 2021, 2022 and many years ahead.

Luxury superyacht THE BEAST available in the South Pacific

Now is a superb time to visit these unusual destinations before international travel returns on a large scale, granting you the opportunity to savour these vistas as they were meant to be experienced. Take an explorer yacht to Galapagos, dive amongst stunning coral structures in Thailand and Indonesia, and return to opulent comforts and a talented crew who will have every delectable meal waiting for you.

You need never set foot into civilisation but if you do, you will discover local delicacies and crafts, stunning artwork and architecture that together creates an incredible culture and an adventure for your group.

The Maldives

There are almost 1,200 islands in total, and of these only 200 are settled and 80 more designated holiday resorts. This means that if an escape from the rest of the world is truly what you’re wishing for, it can be granted with ease. In these crystal-clear waters, there are plenty of incredible species to awe every generation of charter guests, from gentle giants such as the whale shark, hawksbill turtle and manta ray to lesser-known wonders such as the bicolour parrotfish with its fuchsia tail fins, and the unicornfish. The reefs, known as ‘gilis’ and ‘thilas’, are as shallow as 2 metres (6.6 feet) below the surface, rewarding snorkellers and Scuba divers of all experience levels.

Unforgettable yacht charters in the Maldives with superyacht SAFIRA

Fishing enthusiasts will discover plenty of big game fish like giant trevally thanks to the in-depth regional knowledge of your Captain and crew or a dedicated local guide. Once you’re done exploring the seas, settle onto a silky sand beach for cocktails at sunset while your expert chef prepares your day’s catch.

Indonesia

There are few places in the world that receive such high praise for Scuba diving sites as the islands around Indonesia: Beginners are richly rewarded simply for stepping into the water, while experienced divers will come across new challenges in a colourful world of massive corals and marine life as equally flamboyant: Up close, sea horses, nudibranchs and cowry will vie for your attention along with frogfish, royal angelfish and the iconic clownfish. Manta rays, turtles and sharks will circle the reefs and add another aspect of wonder to any underwater exploration.

Having fun in Indonesia with charter yacht LAMIMA

The world above is just as spectacular, and the Komodo National Park and nearby pink sand beach on Padar Islands are not to be ignored. Find memorable souvenirs within local markets, and the galleries and museums will give you a greater appreciation of the ever-evolving history and culture of the islands. The nightlife in Bali is just as rich, with ambient bars and clubs that make for a cosy social scene.

French Polynesia & Other South Pacific Islands

French Polynesia is one of the remotest places on Earth – far from the other island chains in the South Pacific and a place of peace and beauty. There’s no rush, and you can wake to the calls of native birds and the gentle morning sun before having breakfast alfresco within a wondrous natural anchorage. Sunbathe, explore with the water toys and soak up the serenity as you remember life at a much slower pace.

Beautiful breakfast set up aboard motor yacht SEA BREEZE III available in the South Pacific and French Polynesia

For a souvenir of your stay, it’s hard to beat pearls direct from the farmers, who harvest a range of colours and grades to appeal to a range of budgets, timeless tastes and on-trend originality.

The Cook Islands, Niue, Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands to the west are all wonderful alternatives each with their own culture and natural wonders just waiting for you to discover them.

The Galapagos Islands

The unique wildlife found on these shores has been made famous by David Attenborough and his documentary team. A guide will take you ashore and give you insight into the history, geology, flora and fauna that make this far-flung destination so rewarding: Have your cameras at the ready to capture the blue-footed booby, the red-throated frigate bird and the giant tortoises along the shore. In the water, there may be playful sea lions and Galapagos penguins darting through the water in search of food. Snorkel in the clear waters and take your time to observe this unique underwater world.

Aboard motor yacht STELLA MARIS available in the Galapagos

A luxury yacht charter in 2021 and 2022 can be a simple escape to disconnect from the office or an entire adventure with loved ones and friends. Make dreams come true and contact CharterWorld today for more information on vessels to suit your budget and interests.

When it comes to roaming across the globe, E/Y SHINKAI has been constructed with an Ice-Class hull and engineered for fuel efficiency as well as complete autonomy to tackle remote regions safely. The North-West Passage will be among the first adventures in the coming years, and the advanced WASSP sonar system installed onboard will reveal the secrets of the ocean floor wherever she cruises. In a first for a yacht of this size, the hull has been fitted with gyroscopic stabilisers instead of traditional stabiliser fins. These gyroscopic stabilisers are the largest built to date, measuring 3×3 metres (10×10 feet) and weighing 23 tonnes.

Traditional stabilisers on the hull could hinder retrieving the submarine in certain sea conditions, however, the tank deck has been arranged so that fin stabilisers could be added at a later date if desired.

The interior has been designed by Boutsen Design in collaboration with the Owners. Once outfitting has been completed, E/Y SHINKAI will head to the North Sea for sea trials before she is delivered before the end of 2021.

The three-deck atrium is a visual delight as well as an architectural challenge on board a yacht, and while everything on the surface appears simple and refined, behind the scenes complex calculations have resulted in state-of-the-art structural integrity and fire & safety measures.

Glass is an essential aspect to the seamless look of M/Y PURE, offering true floor-to-ceiling windows and using a ceramic composition called frit to bake a pattern on the glass white creates an opaque white outer appearance while those looking from the inside out will see the world through a dark tinted glaze.

Despite her futuristic appearance, all of the technology is available today to make PURE a conceivable reality, with the potential to redefine the yachting industry: The first Feadship Future concept was revealed in 2006 and challenged designers to push the boundaries and re-imagine the future of yacht design.

Propulsion of yacht concept Pure © Feadship

Following on from this, superyacht SAVANNAH in 2015 became the world’s first luxury yacht with hybrid power generation. Luxury yacht PURE is sure to inspire a new generation of superyachts which will delight Owners and charterers alike.
