If the idea of being in a remote location away from the current happenings on land sounds appealing, consider an expedition SuperYacht as your method of escape. With 5-star facilities that most luxury resorts in the world can’t compete with, you can head off the grid in style while embarking on an epic adventure around the world. Best of all, SuperYachts have limited contact with the public, impeccable cleanliness, and the ability to stay away from high-risk areas.

Few of life’s pleasures compare with the luxurious experience of chartering a SuperYacht, where the stunning scenery changes every day, gourmet cuisine is delivered to you without the need for a reservation and an on-site crew is attentive to all your wants and needs. As Covid-19 continues to limit mobility across the globe, these four ultra-sleek SuperYachts remain available for charter (or expedition) – up to months at a time.
