Next-level charter experiences.

Deep dive into exploration

Burgess is working in partnership with Joro Experiences to offer you any adventure on land and sea. Joro specialise in creating deeply authentic, immersive adventures and work with you to seamlessly elevate your charter - delivered with the seven-star Burgess service.

Joro can find ways to take the well-worn tourist trail and make it exclusively yours. After-hours in St John's Co-Cathedral, Malta, with the sunset sending shafts of light though the still quiet, as it has for centuries. Instead of just photographing the Italian mountains, take a day to climb some of the Via Ferrata, the iron paths of the Dolomites.

In Norway, foodies can forage with a professional chef to find king crab and coastal ingredients to wild-cook under the midnight sun. A west coast of Scotland charter lends itself to finding the small-batch whisky distilleries that still use pure cairn water and peat fires. Italy offers the opportunity to follow a truffle hound into the woods to hunt out this rare fungus, and then cook the simplest plate of pasta in an Italian kitchen, served with parmesan and olive oil.

Alternatively, overlay your Greek island hopping charter with a Indiana Jones-style adventure for the young guests, or all guests. Each island posing a new riddle to solve before you know your next destination - where X marks the spot, and the waiter in your restaurant passes on the next clue under a napkin...

Whatever your destination, Joro will use their local knowledge and network of grassroots guides to tailor a unique experience for you. Talk to your broker to discover what is possible.

Play golf with a Pro

If you love the game, you will love the chance to play, or be coached by, Golf Professional Adam Hedges. During over 20 years in golf, Hedges has worked with a number of top coaches and players including Nick O'Hern, Dr Jim Suttie and Brian Mogg. When you are on board your charter yacht, he can meet you ashore to play at five-star golf courses, or come aboard to coach you through practice - using biodegradeable golf balls.

Hedges is currently Director of Golf and Instruction Canouan Island Golf Club and offers this service to Burgess clients. A two-time All-American Athlete and No.1 golfer in the NCAA Division II, he brings infectious passion and professionalism to the sport, which yacht owners and charterers rate highly. 

Whether you are excited for a one-off experience of playing with a high-level golfer, or would prefer coaching to build your skillset over several days, Hedges can accommodate by meeting you at the ports and anchorages of your charter itinerary. For great company on the golf course, and the chance to play your best game ever, contact your Burgess broker to arrange.

Cycle the coast roads

Change up the pace of your charter with a road trip on two wheels. There are few modes of transport that engage you with the landscape while exploring the towns and villages in the way cycling can. Burgess works with experience designers, Butterfield and Robinson, to tailor bespoke biking tours for our charterers.

On a bike, the world opens up around you. The pace is yours to decide - there's no race or peloton, unless it's to the next watering hole. Butterfield and Robinson's mantra is 'slow travel' - to slow down and see the world, taking time to discover the locality for a truly genuine experience. Pedal through meadows, explore ruined castles, stop at village tavernas to sip the local wines and lunch on the freshest produce.

Your cycling tour can be a family jaunt along the coast with your yacht waiting for you at the next beach, a route around the vineyards to meet the vitners and breathe the heady scents of the vines, or a sunrise time-challenge sprint into the hills and mountains. For a bike tour to suit you, just ask your Burgess broker.

Live soundtrack to your movies

Live music does not just have to be about cocktail time, it can also make your favourite Hollywood blockbuster an immersive experience. Burgess is working with GF Entertainment and official Steinway artist, Vincent Corver, to bring your chosen films into a dramatic new dimension with a live piano performance of the score. Hosted on the deck of your yacht, just for you - or invite fellow music aficionados.

Immerse in your chosen film in as Corver takes you on a breathtaking musical journey. This maestro transforms the soundtracks from Titanic, Interstellar, Inception, Schindler’s List, Gladiator, and other classics - you won’t simply be listening to the film’s original score, but experiencing it in a whole new way.

In a showcase of musical artistry, Corver will guide your senses and imagination through the emotional highs and lows - the thrills, the romance and the tension. These orginal compositions are beautifully designed to channel the feeling of your chosen film into never-before-heard melodies and storytelling.

Whether this one-of-a-kind film night is a gift for a loved one, or an invitation for like-minded friends, an experience like this elevates film watching to another dimension. To add this experience to your charter, just ask your broker to arrange.
