74 Islands. One Perfect Season. The Whitsunday Islands sit in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, 74 islands of extraordinary beauty scattered across waters that transition from the deep blue of the Coral Sea to the impossible turquoise of sheltered lagoons. From June through October — Australia's winter, when the southern states are cold and the tropics are at their most perfect — the Whitsundays become the most compelling superyacht destination in the Southern

Originally ordered in 2021, the project remained under tight wraps for years, only becoming vi

The Number Nobody Tells You First The weekly base rate of a superyacht charter is the number that appears in the brochure. It is not the number that appears on your final invoice. Understanding the complete cost structure of a superyacht charter — before you fall in love with a specific vessel — is the difference between an extraordinary experience and an unexpected financial conversation at the end of a week on the water.

There are yachts that arrive quietly and yachts that arrive with a statement. Angelique, the new 88-metre flagship from Turquoise Yachts , is unambiguously the latter — and her statement begins before you even step aboard. The hull is painted in a deep, distinctive metallic blue drawn directly from Blu Tour de France — the legendary Ferrari colour that has adorned some of the most celebrated sportscars in automotive history. On an 88-metre superyacht rising five decks above t

The superyacht industry enters 2026 in a period of remarkable innovation — longer hulls, hybrid propulsion systems, explorer vessel crossovers, and interior design philosophies borrowed from the world's finest residential architecture. For those who live at the intersection of adventure and absolute comfort, the yachts launching this year represent the pinnacle of what is possible on the water. At Elevated Yachts , we've tracked the vessels, the builders , and the brokers sha

Taking us through 2026, the floating villa idea has now become a floating sanctuary, with all the square inches of the ship being designed to amuse, rest, and be inspiring.

The Club allows members to access superyachts around the world and use them for private events – whether dinners, business lunches, corporate meetings, or to access the onboard wellness facilities, when docked in port or at anchor. At its core, the Club is about three things: privacy, consistentl

There is a distinct difference between visiting a destination and truly experiencing its soul. In the Andaman Sea, that distinction becomes clear the moment you step aboard Phuket's luxury yacht charter , where the frantic pace of mainland tourism dissolves into a more refined, personal rhythm. As the horizon expands and the limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay rise to meet the sky, travel transcends the ordinary, offering a level of discretion and elegance that only the open wa
