Explore The World Of Wellness On Your Next Yacht Charter
In recent years, the popularity of health and wellness has surged. Getting away from the distractions of everyday life and today's fast-paced world has meant wellness has filtered into the luxury vacation world. As the importance of physical and mental wellbeing escalates, so does the availability of wellness-focused luxury yacht charters. These charter opportunities provide a health-oriented and exclusive escape where you can switch off, recharge, and regenerate in the most luxurious and private environments.
Today, the yacht charter market has seen a considerable move toward catering to these types of vacations, with entire yacht decks dedicated to wellness, state-of-the-art facilities for exercise, and crew members qualified as personal trainers, yoga instructors, and nutritionists. As wellness means different things to different people, these charters include a bespoke itinerary to help your wellness goals; whether you want to improve fitness, de-stress, or connect with family, the itinerary and program will reflect this.
Here are some of the ways you can incorporate wellness into your next yacht charter:
Health-Conscious Journeys
Nutrition plays a crucial role in any wellness journey. On a superyacht charter, the expert chefs will work with you to curate your perfect menu, working closely with nutritionists to provide menu plans that are delicious and tailored to specific dietary needs and wellness aims.
Whether you want to enjoy organic and local cuisine from locally sourced ingredients, indulge in detoxifying cleanses, seek out a new diet such as Paleo, or explore the benefits of Vegan, the chef is on hand to help you nourish your body throughout an entire yacht charter.
Waterside Workouts
While relaxation is typically thought of when it comes to a wellness yacht charter, the power of exercise and adventure is also essential. Many of the yachts in the IYC fleet have Technogym and Peloton equipment, plus specialized equipment for a variety of workouts alongside personal trainers and sports instructors onboard. Onboard the 171'8" (52.32m) AKULA yacht, you can enjoy a workout in the state-of-the-art gym with large windows that open up to the water's edge.
Many yachts have gyms in these prime spaces to workout while looking out onto the ocean and in climate-controlled areas for comfort. It isn't just the gym where you can exercise; a superyacht has various options to get the endorphins flowing. Some yachts, such as the 154’2” (47m) KING BENJI yacht, have the opportunity to transform areas into sports courts, such as basketball courts for a match or two. The 221’5” (67.5m) LOON yacht also has a new golfing simulator onboard, keeping your handicap even while on the water. Delving into a watersports toy box can help you enjoy everything from snorkeling to water skiing and paddleboarding, providing endless exercise opportunities in the sunshine. Meanwhile, heading to terra firma for your workout you can hike coastal trails, or go for a spin on the yacht’s bicycles.
Disconnect To Reconnect
With endless digital notifications and news streams, mental wellness is more important than ever. A luxury yacht charter is the perfect chance to disconnect from technology and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones. With plenty of lounging and relaxation areas and rooms onboard both inside and out, you can take a voluntary digital detox and instead enjoy sunrise yoga and guided meditation sessions.
Various yachts in the fleet, such as the 155' (47.25m) SEA CLASS yacht, have yoga instructors onboard and can set up the perfect space for you to switch off, stretch and connect with yourself. Being on the ocean and in nature has long been associated with feelings of calm and peace, boasting beneficial effects on the nervous system. Enjoying mindful and relaxing practices in the sea air, such as paddleboarding in a secluded bay or free diving, can help you relax further.
Floating Facilities
You don't have to be on land to appreciate five-star luxury spa areas; a luxury yacht charter has these on hand for the ultimate wellness vacation. Along with the exercise areas and gym equipment, many yachts host amenities such as sumptuous spa treatment rooms, high-tech cryotherapy spas, Finnish saunas, Hammams, dual-temperature Jacuzzis, and hydrotherapy pools.
Alongside the equipment, there are qualified and professional crew available. Yachts such as the 145’11” (44.47m) EVA4EVA yacht, the 145’3” (44.27m) LA LA LAND yacht and 142'9"(43.5m) THIS IS IT yacht have impressive wellness and spa areas at your disposal to enjoy a whole host of treatments, such as massages and facials.
Time For You
Combining the mindful activities, healthy cuisine, and facilities, a yacht charter also offers personalized amenities to ensure you can truly indulge in self-care throughout your time onboard. Aside from the luxurious cabins, various relaxation spaces, and panoramic ocean views, many yachts provide extra special touches, such as hair and nail salons, with dedicated beauticians, allowing you to enjoy additional pampering.
To further enhance your relaxation time, if you are booking a family yacht charter, you can request a Nanny onboard so you can fully immerse yourself in your wellness charter, allowing for further downtime.
A wellness yacht charter goes beyond a vacation. It allows you to invest in your holistic wellbeing, giving you a chance to pause the stressful everyday demands of life and focus on yourself in the most exclusive and luxurious environment.
