Many superyachts can be chartered for key fixtures of the sporting calendar that take place on shore.  

Berth stern-to in Monaco’s Port Hercule for a front-row seat to the Monaco Grand Prix, take a spot on the Thames to witness the tennis greats vying for the title at Wimbledon, or visit Dubai during the World Cup Carnival and see some of the finest equine stars race in five-star surroundings.

For your own sporty charter, settle in a secluded Mediterannean bay and work your way through a yacht’s toy collection under the skillful tuition of the crew.  

Take to the jet skis for high speed thrills, try your hand at wakeboarding, or cruise the warm turquoise waters on a stand-up paddle board or kayak. On shore, these locations offer a plethora of hiking and biking trails, a volcano or two to climb, and are an ideal choice for those with a wider mix of ages amongst the charter party.

Head to Northern Europe to trek across glaciers and leap from helicopters onto snow-covered mountain sides.  

The fjords of Norway offer a dramatic and pristine landscape unlike anywhere else on the planet, and Finland’s consistent daylight during the summer months allows for hours and hours of exploration time as you venture north of the Arctic Circle.  

Island hop through the Caribbean, the Maldives or the Seychelles to discover palm-tree lined beaches and desert islands steeped in stories of swashbuckling buccaneers and pirates. Exploring these exotic shores is sure to ignite imaginations and the spirit of adventure is hard to ignore.

For sailing enthusiasts, the St Barths Bucket Regatta which takes place every March is sure to get the heartbeat racing. International ‘rock stars’ of the sailing world join the superyachts to offer their skills as this fleet of between 35 and 40 sailing yachts race around the island.  

Best experienced from the deck of a competing yacht (a number are available for charter), it’s just as incredible when viewed from the sidelines on a motor yacht when the fastest in the fleet come racing past the bow.

Venture below the waterline on a scuba diving trip to Indonesia, considered one the most incredible and varied diving destinations in the world.  

Here, you’ll come face to face with manta rays, turtles and sharks. Consider a yacht with a personal submarine and take an underwater tour in a little more comfort; delight in shoales of colourful fish and navigate your way around wrecks and boulders lying on the sea bed as you cruise above the bright corals.

Take an expedition south to Antarctica and the bottom of the earth to face the final frontier in global exploration.  

An expedition to Antarctica will take you past penguin colonies, offer the chance to see Orca and humpback whales, and bring you up close to imposing icebergs, often measuring several miles in length.
