UK Luxury Yacht Charter

The United Kingdom and Ireland are often overlooked as a destination for a luxury superyacht charter due to the comparatively lack of superyacht infrastructure and fickle weather, but the intricate coastline has much to offer and encompasses an astonishing variety of cruising grounds, all within easy reach of each other.

England’s picturesque ports and harbour towns are home to thriving yachting communities. In summer months, the marinas are full with boats captained by lone sailors, couples and families exploring the idyllic English coasts. In the far south-west, the town of Falmouth has a prestigious maritime museum and the area is also home to the Pendennis Shipyard, which is an internationally-acclaimed and award-winning superyacht builder.

For a more metropolitan visit to the United Kingdom, head up the River Thames into central London. Berthed on the banks of the iconic river, this is a fantastic city to visit by superyacht and a great option if you are attending a sporting or social engagement in London. A plethora of designer stores, sophisticated restaurants and exclusive bars are just a few steps from the yacht’s passerelle.

The west and north coast of Ireland are ideal starting points for an onward trip north, taking in the west coast of Scotland and continuing on to the Faroe Islands and Norway. Ireland, the ‘Emerald Isle’, is one of the more challenging yachting destinations, with open-sea passages  and refreshingly cool weather, but the remarkably untouched Irish coast features tiny fishing harbours, rocky inlets with jutting headlands and the striking scenery of a raw and wild nature.

Scotland’s west coast offers sheltered anchorages and a secluded beauty that is sure to inspire. Onshore, whisky distilleries, castles and ancient lochs provide varied excursions with something for everyone.
