Off the beaten track
LUXURY MEETS THE THRILL OF DISCOVERY
Charters on explorer vessels are one of the fastest-growing trends in luxury yachting, with more superyachts than ever venturing to the farthest corners of the globe. These journeys are not about basking in the sun or visiting bustling ports; they are about adventure, discovery, and the rare privilege of experiencing places few have ever seen.
Guided by Fraser’s expert charter brokers, guests can kayak past glaciers in Antarctica, swim alongside sea lions and whale sharks in the Galapagos, explore the remote fjords of Norway, or even navigate the legendary Northwest Passage. These are expedition yacht charters that redefine exploration, where world-class luxury is paired with nature at its most awe-inspiring.
Combine ultimate wilderness with ultimate luxury
Charter with Fraser
Yacht charter destinations that are "off the beaten track" are not sought for traditional reasons like relaxing in the sunshine or visiting local coastal towns. These yacht charters are about the thrill of exploring little-known and unusual regions of the planet, immersing yourself in the beauty of unspoiled wildlife and untouched landscapes.
The Galapagos Islands offer both a cool, dry season (June to November) and a wet, warm season (December to May), so the best time to visit depends on what you want to experience. With such a stunning variety of marine, animal, and bird life, there is always a breathtaking spectacle from Mother Nature to marvel at, no matter the time of year.
Antarctica, while naturally cold year-round, is best visited between December and March. During these months, you can experience up to 20 hours of sunlight a day, witness the adorable antics of penguin chicks, and increase your chances of encountering majestic whales. The awe-inspiring beauty and serenity of these remote destinations promise an unforgettable adventure that few ever get the opportunity to experience.

Antartica Yacht Charter
Once the preserve of hardy adventurers, Antarctica is now one of the most exhilarating frontiers in superyacht charter. Between December and March, enjoy up to 20 hours of daylight as you kayak past calving glaciers, witness penguin colonies and seal pups at play, and encounter whales breaching against a backdrop of towering icebergs. Some yachts even offer submarines, allowing you to slip beneath the icy surface for a surreal encounter with giant jellyfish drifting in the polar depths.
Galapagos Islands Yacht Charter
An archipelago of 21 volcanic islands, the Galapagos is a living laboratory of evolution and a paradise for nature-lovers. Home to giant tortoises, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and countless other species found nowhere else on Earth, this UNESCO World Heritage site promises an unforgettable encounter with raw, untamed nature. Visit year-round: the cool, dry season or the warm, wet season each offers its own spectacular wildlife moments.
