Journeys

From Swimming the Amazon and crossing both poles to sailing tens of thousands of miles on his 32-metre ketch, Mike Horn is not just exploring the planet by boat but is helping educate our next generation of environmental stewards.

Superyachts offer the ability to see sights in the remotest corners of the world with no specific itinerary but what you set yourself – but they can also reveal wonders in places far closer to home.

For most owners and charterers, yachting is not about being seen but about seeing family and friends and making private memories – it’s a journey of experiences that is reflected in the lives of those who work in the industry too.

The idea of freedom to explore new destinations is central to the concept of yachting, but increasingly the ideas of sustainability, community support and scientific endeavour are becoming integral parts of the journey.

Yachting is all about having experiences of a lifetime – and that is made possible by dive guides like Yannis Sainte-Pé, who use a lifetime of experience to open up new worlds and new wonders to guests.

Superyachting opens up the possibility of extraordinary marine encounters, but these once-in-a-lifetime experience are helping drive awareness and action for something far more fundamental – our planet’s future.

Cruising on a superyacht can also mean a culinary journey, both for guests and for superyacht chefs – and the growing trend for fresh, sustainable ingredients is delivering benefits for local communities.

With its archaeological wonders, awesome coastlines and myriad islands, Greece truly comes alive when experienced by superyacht – especially when that superyacht boasts insider knowledge and a welcoming crew.

Superyachts offer one of the most extraordinary experiences available, but new tech is taking that experience a step further – and offering valuable insights and education into our oceans for owners, their families and guests.
