Celebrating 2024: Where to Welcome the New Year

Sydney

Sydney’s world-famous harbour offers the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable celebration this New Year's Eve (NYE). Known for its iconic landmarks, such as the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, its stunning harbour and lively culture, Sydney ensures a memorable celebration.

In addition to the already stunning views, there is no denying that the iconic firework display is an event to be remembered, as it is technically the first firework display in the world to welcome in the New Year. Not only is seeing the spectacular fireworks an incredible experience, but seeing this legendary event light up the sky from onboard a superyacht offers even more exclusivity and an unmatched perspective.

Phuket

As a charter destination for NYE, Phuket knows how to offer guests the best of both worlds. On the one hand, the Thai destination offers a wholesome trip to connect with nature. Explore the Andaman Sea, visit the beautiful Phi Phi Islands, or discover the unique marine life through snorkelling and diving. Anchor your superyacht off Surin Beach to observe the spectacular firework show presented by Amanpuri Resort, and after, disembark to participate in the exclusive celebrations on-shore.

After the serene activities of the day, Phuket's vibrant nightlife calls. With a diverse array of entertainment options, from beach clubs to high-end restaurants, a lively and festive atmosphere for NYE celebrations is sure to be found.

Dubai

Dubai is home to one of the most opulent and extravagant New Year's Eve celebrations in the world. Similar to Sydney, Dubai’s firework display is a breathtaking spectacle, even more so with the unobstructed views from your superyacht. With over 1,100 berths and three bays that can accommodate yachts up to 160m, the Dubai Harbour Marinas offer world-class maritime facilities. Plus, the Dubai Marina Yacht Club, an architectural feat, presents exclusive bars, restaurants, and lounges on a man-made canal, offering a vibrant and bustling nightlife waterfront.

Surrounded by other exotic locations, such as Abu Dhabi, a NYE celebration in Dubai offers a unique opportunity that other destinations can’t, which is the possibility of combining multiple destinations into a single charter experience over the course of NYE celebrations, providing a diverse and enriching celebration.

Miami

Miami incorporates various cultures due to its geographical location, including Latin, Caribbean and, of course, American influences. This unique blend is reflected in Miami’s cuisine, music and art, and what better way to experience this diverse culture than from onboard a superyacht celebrating NYE.

Miami's coastal location allows superyacht guests to experience beautiful waterways, such as Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, whilst simultaneously offering an exclusive opportunity to enjoy this city's skyline and waterfront views. Some top marinas in Miami include Sunset Harbour Yacht Club, Yacht Haven Grande Miami and Island Gardens Marina, which is the first deep-water marina in the Western hemisphere, specifically designed to harbour mega-yachts allowing guests to visit with ease from their vessel to the marina.

The Bahamas

The Bahamas, of course, is famous for its picturesque views and plethora of opportunities to relax. From onboard a superyacht, enjoy sunsets and festive evenings on the open sea, with personalised service and an attentive yacht crew: offering a more tranquil and intimate celebration for the New Year.

In addition to the serenity of these tropical Islands, enjoy popular New Year's Eve events in the Bahamas, such as the Staniel Cay Yacht Club's masquerade party, with a traditional Bahamian pig roast and midnight fireworks on the beach. After all of the fun, experiencing the Bahamas from a superyacht means guests can explore hidden gems, private coves, and coral reefs, offering an even more exclusive and personalised experience.
