There is no better way to see in the new year than by taking in the fireworks from the luxury of a superyacht, celebrating with friends and family. Here, we pick a few of our favourite spots for a New Year’s superyacht charter…

Sydney

Cruising under the Harbour Bridge and past the Opera House will always be a bucket-list experience for superyacht enthusiasts.

Be among the first to count in the new year surrounded by the festivity of Sydney Harbour, with certainly one of the world’s most spectacular firework displays.

The charter market in Australia has certainly been bolstered with some fantastic additions to the domestic fleet over the last few years, providing plenty of enticing options for charterers.

The Sydney experience is often extended with a trip up to the adventurous Pittwater, just an hour out of the CBD, where yachts can revel in raw and rugged nature. Uncover the highlights of Sydney by watching the Australia InDepth documentary series here.

Antigua & Barbuda

One of the Caribbean’s most indulgent and adventurous superyacht hotspots, Antigua is revered by superyacht owners, charterers, and crew alike. A selection of some of the finest superyachts on the market make for an incredible Caribbean New Year’s festivity.

Antigua & Barbuda offer a spectacular tropical hideaway that attracts a well-heeled crowd with its stunning white sand beaches, turquoise waters and lavish resorts.
