Why Choose the Rest of the World for Your Yacht Charter?
For discerning travellers seeking unique yachting adventures beyond traditional hotspots, the Rest of the World offers unrivalled diversity. From tropical isles to icy fjords, remote rivers to volcanic archipelagos, these destinations combine natural wonder, culture, and luxury. Every voyage is an opportunity to explore corners of the globe few have seen from the deck of a private yacht.
Unforgettable Landscapes & Coastlines
The Rest of the World presents some of the most striking and diverse seascapes on the planet, ideal for bespoke yacht charters:
- Norway: Towering fjords, cascading waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, and mirror-like waters create one of the world’s most dramatic cruising environments. Destinations such as Geirangerfjord, Nærøyfjord, and Lofoten offer breathtaking natural beauty and serene anchorages.
- Seychelles: An Indian Ocean paradise of granite islands, turquoise lagoons, coral reefs, and secluded beaches. The inner islands, including Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue, are perfectly suited for relaxed luxury cruising and water activities.
- Tanzania: Explore the untouched coastline and exotic islands of Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia Island. These waters combine crystal-clear seas, thriving marine life, and Swahili coastal landscapes rarely experienced by a yacht.
- United Kingdom: From the rugged Scottish Highlands and Hebrides to the serene Isles of Scilly and historic English coastlines, the UK offers rich maritime heritage, wild beauty, and refined cruising in sheltered waters.
Each region provides privacy, pristine nature, and exclusive access to landscapes unreachable by land.
Cultural & Culinary Highlights
Yachting across these destinations reveals deep cultural roots and distinctive culinary traditions:
- Norway: Experience Viking heritage, coastal fishing villages, and contemporary Nordic cuisine, renowned for fresh seafood, Arctic king crab, and Michelin-starred innovation.
- Seychelles: A fusion of African, French, and Indian influences defines Creole cuisine — think freshly grilled fish, coconut curries, tropical fruits, and fine rum.
