Experience the world’s most exclusive winter wonderland superyacht charters

Benefits of chartering a superyacht for a winter escape

Swap sunshine for snow on a winter yacht charter. Whether it’s kayaking among arctic wildlife in Svalbard, dining under the Northern Lights in Iceland, or heli-skiing in Antarctica, you’ll see yourself immersed among some of the most spectacular scenery on Earth. 

With a superyacht as your base, this is adventure with all the luxury and comforts you’d expect from any charter – in the Med or otherwise. Zero sacrifices, unlimited discoveries.

The world’s most spectacular winter wonderland superyacht destinations

Lying halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole, Svalbard will see you cruising among thousands of islands and discovering landscapes where glaciers carve their way into the sea. Wildlife encounters are everywhere – from pods of orca hunting herring to walruses lazily flopped on ice floes. A private winter yacht expedition here is as close as you can come to feeling like a true Arctic explorer, with all the comforts of your yacht waiting at the end of each adventure.

You’ll also have a chance to glimpse the Northern Lights here too, visible for eight months of every year and best seen during the long winter nights. You can arrange with your crew to set up a ‘Northern Lights alarm’ – so you can enjoy a restful night’s sleep in the knowledge that they will wake you if these dancing lights appear overhead.

Greenland itself, the world’s largest island, is a dramatic realm of glaciers, fjords, and icebergs the size of cathedrals, navigable only with a capable ice-class explorer yacht. Ashore, heli-ski pristine peaks, trek with local guides, or simply absorb the scale of a land largely unchanged for thousands of years. This is a charter that feels like stepping back in time to an era of raw, elemental beauty.
