Best yachts to charter this autumn/winter

With travel becoming a more tantalisingly real prospect as we head into the last weeks of summer, many jet-setters are gearing up to take to the seas this autumn for a fall break in warmer climes. And few methods of travel are more Covid-secure – or luxurious – than a private yacht.

Offering a controllable private environment, yacht charter is one of the best ways for travellers to enjoy waking up in a new destination each morning amid luxury interiors, while easily being able to remain socially distance from other tourists.

From the best of gastronomy and on-board spas, through to high-speed performance and a vast range of water toys, there is something for each generation to enjoy during their time onboard. Here, Tempus has teamed up with SuperYachtsMonaco to compile a variety of their most exceptional superyachts that will be available for charter this autumn.

DB9 is a sleek 52m Champagne coloured superyacht and the first hull from Palmer Johnson’s ground-breaking PJ 170 SportYacht range. Her highlights include a full-beam master suite, three separate pool areas, plus a fabulous open-air cinema on the sundeck.

Outside, she offers an extensive range of water toys from paddleboards to jet skis, through seabobs, wakeboards and an entire collection of towables and inflatables, including an inflatable assault course, for endless fun in the sun. For any speed enthusiasts, she can cruise up to 24.4 knots.
