ULTIMATE ESCAPES

CHARTER YACHTS ARE IN POSITION ALL AROUND THE WORLD THIS WINTER, READY FOR GUESTS WHO WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE BEST OF IT ALL. 

- KIM KAVIN

NOT TERRIBLY LONG AGO, I sat down and tried to puzzle out how many destinations I've visited aboard charter yachts. If I include industry-only boat shows that are held annually, the number of yachts themselves swells well into the hundreds. The destinations are somewhere in the dozens popular coastlines and islands throughout the Mediterranean and Caribbean, of course, but also less-cruised locales such as the Galápagos Islands, French Polynesia and Indonesia. I've snorkeled and dived twice with the wildlife in Fiji, explored the historical architecture in Croatia and Greece several times, and donned a warm jacket in Alaska and Norway for views of glaciers and fjords.
