Christmas 2026: Caribbean or New Zealand by Yacht
There is still time to arrange a yacht charter for Christmas 2026. MANA KAI, ONE PLANET and HOUBARA retain festive availability in the Caribbean, while PURPOSE and RADIANCE offer an alternative in New Zealand during the southern summer.
Where to Charter a Yacht for Christmas?
Several opportunities remain to celebrate Christmas 2026 by yacht across two very different regions. In the Caribbean, MANA KAI, ONE PLANET and HOUBARA offer festive cruising between tropical beaches, sheltered anchorages and island destinations during the high season. Across the South Pacific, PURPOSE and RADIANCE provide an alternative in New Zealand, where December marks the beginning of the southern summer. From Sunreef catamarans to a large motor yacht and an ocean-going sailing yacht, this selection presents several ways to spend Christmas at sea according to your group, destination and preferred charter style.
Why Charter a Yacht for Christmas 2026?
Which Yachts Are Available in the Caribbean?
Three Sunreef catamarans retain availability during December. MANA KAI is available from 19 to 26 December in St Barth, at EUR 75,000 per week + 30% APA. ONE PLANET is available from 1 to 27 December, at USD 114,000 per week all-inclusive, while HOUBARA remains available from 12 to 26 December, at EUR 45,000 per week + 30% APA.
What Do the Caribbean Yachts Offer?
MANA KAI is a 24m Sunreef 80 accommodating 8 guests in 4 cabins and refitted in 2026. ONE PLANET is a fully electric 23.50m Sunreef 70 Eco, also welcoming 8 guests across 4 cabins. HOUBARA is a 24m Sunreef 82 refitted in 2026, accommodating 7 guests in 3 cabins and featuring a 32m² owner's suite with its own jacuzzi.
Why Choose New Zealand for Christmas?
December marks the beginning of the southern summer in New Zealand and is an ideal period for exploring the country by yacht. Auckland, Waiheke Island and the Bay of Islands provide a very different setting from the Caribbean, combining extensive coastlines, secluded anchorages and spectacular natural surroundings.
Which Yachts Can You Charter in New Zealand?
PURPOSE, a 55m Trinity motor yacht, accommodates up to 12 guests in 6 cabins and begins her 2026–2027 Pacific programme with Christmas and New Year in New Zealand. RADIANCE, a 37m sailing yacht accommodating 8 guests in 4 cabins, also cruises New Zealand as part of her Pacific winter programme. Contact BGYB to confirm availability for your preferred dates.
