Some Key American Yacht Charter Hot Spots:

Florida

Launch your luxury yacht charter from a state that has long catered to the superyacht crowd and has plenty of amenities and entertainments to enhance your cruise. There is a plethora of beaches for some private relaxation or fun with the water toys, while not far inland your group can pack a day with a visit to the Earnest Hemingway Home and Museum, wildlife sanctuaries and reserves.

Florida yacht charters are not only in a beautiful and diverse yacht charter location but are also the door to a wonderland of cruising pleasure - the Florida Keys and the Bahamas. Some call Florida the king of yacht charter vacations. Indeed, Florida does have some of the largest gatherings of private super yachts worldwide, particularly around Miami and Fort Lauderdale. The State of Florida is synonymous with water - it has two coastal borders in the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico and is home to some 30,000 lakes. Florida charter boat vacations follow the intercostal highway; with its myriad of secluded cove beaches, seaside towns, great anchorages and excellent marina facilities, for miles and miles.

Often considered America's Caribbean Islands, the Florida Keys including Key Largo and Key West, is a spectacular yacht charter location. You will often read references to a 'jade necklace' or a 'string of pearls' in descriptions of the many (800+) islands that stretch off into the sea. The Florida Keys feature plenty of energy ashore, but to get away into the quieter areas a charter yacht vacation is the only way to go.

From local farmers' markets to luxury boutiques, there is a shopping experience to attract everyone in the group, and art galleries such as the Allan S. Maltz Gallery and Old Road Gallery offer the chance to but a souvenir of your trip that will fit into your home perfectly.

Florida Keys

Pack everyday with adventure on a luxury yacht charter in Florida Keys, where turtles, porpoises and dolphins swim through the area. Kayaks through the mangroves, snorkel in the Dry Tortugas National Park or simply spend the day stretched out on one of the many pristine beaches soaking in the sunshine or watching the vibrant sunsets.

Florida Keys has a wealth of dive sites for all experience levels, where even beginners can encounter brilliant corals, manta rays, turtles and curious fish.

The Earnest Hemingway Home and Museum is a must-see for writers and lovers of all things maritime, then catch a play at the Waterfront Playhouse before taking in the sight of the San Pablo Catholic Church lit up beautifully at night.

The Bahamas

The Bahamas is also one of the great places in America to enjoy a yacht charter vacation. The Bahamas are made up of more than 700 islands and countless (over 2400) cays to explore and is rimed by one of the world's great barrier reefs. This impressive reef system surrounds the reef-and-key sheltered waters, providing 100 miles of relaxed cruising in the relatively shallow safety of The Sea of Abaco. The Bahamian island chain begins with Bimini, just 45 miles from Miami, stretching all the way to the Turks, 500 miles to the southwest. The Bahamas is a brilliant charter location that has either excitement or serenity, depending on your mood, and is also within easy access for both American and European yacht charter vacations.

New England

New England is an attractive destination throughout the year and luxury yacht charterers visit for its striking coastlines dotted with lighthouses, covered bridges and brightly coloured leaves in early autumn. The region has long drawn writers and artists, resulting in arts trails such as the Maine Art Museum Trail that make a perfect complement to the museums, wineries, pubs and restaurants that are to be found throughout the state.

Shoppers will have plenty of opportunity to spend their money on luxury goods in the big cities, and Freeport offers factory tours and tastings throughout the year.

The snow-covered scenery is just as breath-taking, and guests visiting can combine their coastal cruise with winter sports and a take part in the New England Maple Syrup Festival which takes place in early spring.

New England is sail boat territory with sailing centers such Mystic and Newport which are home to numerous sailboat yacht charter companies. You can begin your yacht charter vacation in Newport, RI, home to the famous challenging sailing yachts of the America's cup, and New England’s luxury sailboats and motor super yachts.

San Francisco Bay

There are few coastal destinations more evocative in modern memory that San Francisco, which has been the subject of dozens of songs and home to the mist-shrouded Golden Gate Bridge. As an island, the region is perfectly suited to exploration by superyacht and attractions such as Muir Woods and the wineries.

Take the time to explore on foot with numerous hiking opportunities: Sight-see at the infamous Alcatraz prison, take the trails at Land's End Lookout and wander through the labyrinth, and visit the Golden Gate Park for the de Young Fine Arts Museum and Beach Chalet Brewery and Restaurant.

Fit in the chance to stop off at Lombard Street to see the world's ‘crookedest’ street, nestled between Victorian houses, then enjoy plentiful shopping opportunities at Union Square.
