With February comes the annual Miami Yacht and Brokerage Show with events spanning the waters of the vibrant city.

Covering everything from superyachts to marine technology, the show is unmissable for industry experts and enthusiasts alike.

What’s more, the show presents are a perfect opportunity to visit Miami during a milder, less intense month.

March- St Barth’s Bucket Regatta

March means that it’s time to head back to St Barth’s.

Thirty years old last year, the St Barth’s Bucket Regatta has become a modern classic and staple of the yachting calendar.

Setting entrants the task of ‘winning the party’, the regatta sees sailing yachts meeting motor yachts in some the most beautiful waters of the Caribbean.

Each year, Gustavia Harbour also plays host to a number of social gatherings, welcoming in the new regatta season with style.

April- The Shanghai Boat Show

As luxury yacht charters become more popular in China, there’s every reason to check out the International Shanghai Boat Show in April.

Bringing together the entire industry, the event showcases the best in lifestyle as well as the best in yachts themselves.

Issuing prestigious awards at the closing ceremony, the event is very much the place to be this year.

June- Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta

What better way to spend the beginning of summer than by heading over to Sardinia for the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta?

With classic cocktail receptions and outstanding racing, the event delivers thrills and hospitality like no other in the Mediterranean.   

Spreading its racing over four days, guests will have plenty of time to enjoy the waters and beaches surrounding them.

July- Thailand Diving Charter

After spending some months onboard, it’s time to get out to Thailand and get underwater.

With the climate at this time of the year being excellent in places like Koh Samui and the waters closer to Bangkok, there’s every reason to take a luxury yacht charter which brings along the latest and best diving equipment.

What’s more, a diving vacation in Thailand puts visitors in close proximity to some of the world’s best cuisine and culture.

November- Fort Lauderdale Boat Show

The world’s largest in-water boat show, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show takes place each october over a series of six locations with more than three million square feet of space.

Set to take place between the 3rd and 7th November this year, the event provides the perfect opportunity to visit Florida when the weather isn’t so intense.

Considering itself the ‘yachting capital of the world’, the exhibitions at the show are all easily accessible and boast outstanding receptions for their guests.

October- A Croatia Luxury Charter

After enjoying some serious socialising and events, October presents the ideal opportunity for some quiet time.

Choosing Croatia for your luxury yacht charter, you’ll find yourself surrounded by  unspoiled nature as well as having access to some of the most fantastic cuisine options.

Following a recent name change, the 196.85ft /60m motor yacht HUNTRESS will be moving to these waters around this time, offering an unmissable chance for a modern and elegant charter experience.

December- New Year’s Eve in St Barts

There really is no alternative to spending New Year’s Eve in St Barts. Regularly attracting the very best yachts and A-list celebrities, the celebration on the island is arguably the peak of the yachting calendar.

A modern tradition, Roman Abramovich throws outstanding midnight parties onboard his 533.14ft /162.5m motor yacht ECLIPSE.

With so much on offer during this month, why not take a look at one of our recent features for some New Year's inspiration.
