Yacht charter in The UK

A Yacht Charter in the UK is probably not the first destination that springs to mind when considering a yachting holiday , but, these northern European sailing grounds provide a wealth of splendid scenery that lends itself perfectly to exploration by boat.

Given that the UK is well known for its dreary weather, it’s easy to understand why it might be overlooked for a sailing trip, but don’t forget that this is a nation built on maritime heritage. With some of the most coastlines and iconic skylines in Europe, so many small islands to explore, and a wealth of rivers and canals to navigate, you can experience some of the very best sailing when you charter a luxury yacht in the UK. And it’s even better when the weather is good.

Chartering a yacht in The United Kingdom gives you the chance to see many different sides of the UK, from small fishing villages to vibrant cities, all from the comfort of your own luxury yacht.

What to see on a trip to The United Kingdom?

A myriad of buzzing cosmopolitan cities and quaint villages, all packed full of endless charm and intriguing history, the UK has a vast range of sights and attractions for all visitors.

England’s south coast is renowned for its impressive coastal towns and resorts – Portsmouth and Southampton, for instance, have a unique sailing heritage, while Beer, in Devon, and Mousehole, in Cornwall, are picture-perfect fishing villages. In fact, the whole south coast of England is peppered with picturesque fishing villages that have remained beautifully intact whilst time has ticked by.

With so many places to visit, and some of the most challenging sailing conditions to contend with, a UK yacht charter will truly be an adventure to remember.

Southampton, a city associated with naval exploration and history and still considered one of the most important ports of the United Kingdom, is a great base for so many wonderful locations nearby, such as the New Forest as well coastal drives to Bournemouth and their maritime competitors, Portsmouth.

Boasting a historic harbour, Weymouth is more than sand, lollipop liners and the beach. It is an epicurean centre for those that want to try something new, and the coastal scenery sets it apart as a must-see destination.

Torquay, the so called “heart of the English riviera” is a seafront town with palm trees and red cliffs, alongside fantastic restaurants and boutique hotels.

A trip to the Isle of Scilly feels like a world away from the mainland. This archipelago that surrounds 140 tiny islands appears to have hardly ever changed in decades. No supermarkets, no traffic jams, no multinational hotels, this is a land that understands what it means to be of a time before what we have today. It is something to behold on a personal level as this is a location that always takes your breath away.

Away from the south coast, you can sail into the Thames to marvel at a iconic buildings like the Shard, St Paul’s Cathedral and Tower Bridge, or sail further along the east coast for a lazy cruise along the Norfolk Broads or to sample more picturesque fishing villages, including the iconic Whitby, the scene of the vampire’s landing in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

On to Scotland – sailing the turquoise waters and walking the white sands of the highlands and islands will leave you breathless, as will navigating the seas of the inner and outer hebrides.

Along to England’s west coast and you can sail to the picturesque Isle of Man, or sail the Mersey to take in the iconic Liverpool skyline and sample everything this vibrant city has to offer.

There are also some wonderful waters to sail, and brilliant sites to see along the coast of Wales and England’s south west coast.

A luxury yacht charter of The United Kingdom really does offer something for everyone. For the adventurer that wants to learn more about the UK to the historian that wants to sail the seas of the famous leaders and explorers. From families through to groups of friends, it’s a friendly atmosphere that captures each of these towns and locations. Why charter a yacht in The United Kingdom?

Chartering a yacht in The United Kingdom is possibly the only way to really discover the true maritime history of the nation. You see things and experience things that need more than just a moment’s attention. It’s about taking in what makes the coast of the United Kingdom truly different to some of the more exotic locations we offer.

Essential travel information for the United Kingdom

Want to charter a yacht in the United Kingdom but don’t know much about the location. Here is some essential information.

Not known for having particularly good weather, the UK’s high season is between May and early September, but the seasons can get so interchangeable that March and October sometimes have great weather. The colder winter months appear earlier due to geography and the weather significantly changes in winter with lows of 10°C.

The Pound is the UK currency, and English is the main language, although some regions speak Welsh and Gaelic.

How to charter a yacht in the UK

You can access most of the United Kingdom and the destinations by airport, car and train. Princess Charter offer a variety of luxury yachts for hire along the UK and its islands, ranging from 20 metres to 100 metres in length.

The ultimate UK staycation for 2021: discover luxury yacht charters onboard superyacht Chess

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Nina Done   7 May 2021

With so much uncertainty surrounding foreign travel, the stellar 25m / 83’ Sunseeker luxury motor yacht CHESS embodies the perfect escape, where you can experience supreme luxury and 5-star service in a yacht charter  around the UK's beautiful south coast, where her dedicated crew stand ready to make your dream vacation a reality. 

Built in 2005 as part of their popular 82 range, the motor yacht CHESS has recently been extensively refurbished and is the largest Sunseeker yacht to be available for charter in British waters. The YachtCharterFleet team had the pleasure of being hosted on board last week at its new premier base opposite Portsmouth’s historic shipyard, where CHESS's impressive new features were showcased to perfection.

Sporting a striking cafe au lait palette courtesy of illustrious designer Ken Freivokh, with exterior styling by Don Shead Yacht Design, CHESS radiates pure elegance and style. 

She also boasts an impressive maximum speed of 30 knots and comfortable cruising speed of 22 knots, with her planing hull ideal for zipping between destinations.

Spacious accommodation

Luxury superyacht CHESS comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests in her four beautifully-appointed cabins with plush carpeting throughout; comprising a generous Master Suite, featuring a walk-in-wardrobe, and large VIP cabin opposite, as well as two further doubles, which were updated in the refit and can now be converted into twin beds providing fantastic flexibility for yacht charters.

Further recent refurbishments include attractive cream suede panelling and enlarged windows, which infuse the space with an abundance of natural light highlighting the elegant walnut veneer interiors, sumptuous furnishings and bespoke bed linen courtesy of John Lewis – marking their first ever superyacht project. 

Each cabin also boasts a newly refitted ensuite, fantastic integrated storage options, state-of-the-art plasma OLED TV with apps, including Netflix and Prime, and enhanced high-speed 40mbs WiFi system (5G compatible) ensuring guests are well-connected whatever the destination.

Main social areas

On her main deck level there is a spacious main salon, which is flooded with light courtesy of large flanking windows, with two beautifully refurbished cream leather seating areas coupled with luxurious soft furnishings. In addition, there is a coffee table and further storage spaces, as well as a large wall-mounted plasma TV – making this the perfect place to kick back and unwind with family and friends.

Motor yacht Chess features stunning lines with a generous interior and exterior, offering guests the perfect space to cruise in luxury and style.

Further forward there is a formal starboard dining area, with an open galley opposite, where you can sit and marvel as the chef creates his delectable array of French and Asian fusion dishes. Having spent the last ten years in Japan, chef Nick is hugely passionate about his food and will happily serve up dish after dish of heavenly canapes for guests to feast on. Naturally, the chef will ensure each meal onboard is perfectly tailored around your individual preferences.

There is an additional comfortable seating area located in the helm station forward of the galley, where guests can gaze at the scenery as the captain expertly navigates CHESS towards her next destination. 

Alfresco socialising

On the main deck aft, there is an additional dining area for 8 guests, which is perfectly shaded by the sundeck above; a great place to enjoy your early morning coffee and croissants as you relax and watch the world go by. 

Follow the stairs up to the sundeck, superyacht CHESS’s crowning glory, where you’ll find an impressive large teak dining area, with a starboard bar and grill, perfect for lazy BBQ’s up on the sundeck. Guests can lounge on inviting sunpads located on the sundeck’s forward and aft areas, where they can soak up the summer rays and enjoy sweeping panoramic views of their surroundings.

There is a further sunpad block located on the bow, where guests can experience a spot of heavenly sunbathing whilst the yacht is moored off one of the many beautiful anchorages around this spectacular region. 

Hydraulic swim platform

To optimise space on the sundeck the yacht’s tender has been relocated to the hydraulic swim platform on the aft deck whilst the yacht is cruising. This also means the crew can now launch the boat with ease for anyone wishing to explore their surroundings or take a tender ride ashore. 

Once the tender has been launched, the swim platform can also be lowered into the water for guests keen on taking a refreshing dip in the sea, where convenient retractable bathing steps facilitate their ascent out of the water after their swim. 

CHESS also boasts a raft of paddleboards and kayaks, perfect for exploring the south coast's myriad secluded bays and hidden coves. 

Flexible itineraries around the UK’s beautiful south coast

There are countless picture-perfect places to discover around this beautiful stretch of coastline, whether you are keen on exploring the breathtaking Jurassic coast, visiting Queen Victoria’s idyllic sanctuary on the Isle of Wight, strolling along Cornwall’s array of golden-hued beaches and charming fishing villages or witnessing the captivating beauty of the Scilly Isles; there is a perfect charter destination for everyone to enjoy onboard the luxury yacht CHESS.

With so much to see and do, the South Coast offers its visitors freedom, world-class coastlines, phenomenal scenery and the ultimate rejuvenating escape.

Isle of Wight

Nestled in-between the English channel and the solent, the Isle of Wight is a perennial favourite for holiday makers from the UK and abroad. It’s not hard to see why; with stunning rugged multi-coloured cliffs, clement weather and 500 miles of established walking routes and bridleways, not to mention myriad adventure pursuits on offer, such as sailing, paragliding, and rock climbing. Along with a scattering of golf courses and a huge range of family-oriented activities, there is so much to see and explore on this magical island. 

Visit the needles and take a ride on the world-famous chair lift where you can marvel at the expansive vistas as you descend towards the island's iconic multi-coloured sand bay. Or, take a trip back in time on a tour around Queen Victoria’s favourite holiday home, Osborne House, where she spent many a happy summer with her extensive family and beloved husband Albert by her side.

To the east lies the beautiful secluded Priory Bay, a sheltered curve of pale cream sands and crystal clear waters, accessible only by boat, perfect for a leisurely afternoon swim away from the crowds. Top the day off with a trip to Cowes, the island’s famous sailing mecca where you can rub shoulders with the sailing elite whilst enjoying a cocktail at one of its myriad bars and restaurants.

Jurassic Coast

Spanning 95 miles from Dorset to Devon, this breathtaking stretch of prehistoric coastline is characterised by high limestone cliffs and sweeping golden sands. The Jurassic coast is England’s only natural World Heritage site, steeped in a rich geological past. The region incorporates the popular towns of Swanage, Weymouth, Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton.

Stop off at the lovely township of Lyme Regis, which dates back to the Domesday era, where you can soak up its cultural history and meander through the charming streets that so inspired Jane Austen in her regency novel Persuasion which she wrote after visiting Lyme Regis in the early 19th century.

You can also try your hand at fossil hunting or visiting one of the many museums nestled along the charming towns and villages and rock-hewn bays that perfectly encapsulate the savage beauty of the Jurassic coast.

Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the stunning South Devon coast certainly lives up to the hype; with its rugged coastline, secluded beaches, labyrinthine estuaries and historic villages this region is sure not to disappoint anyone wishing to stop off on its shores.

South Devon boasts a vast array of award-winning beaches, including the privately owned blue-flag beach at Blackpool Sands set in a pretty scalloped bay, perfect for anchoring for lunch or dinner, or simply taking a dip into the inviting clear emerald waters. Devon is also well-known for its coastal walks, race sailing and old world pubs.

Cruise the beautiful meandering River Dart, where you can jump off and explore the historical town of Dartmouth, famed for both its naval and engineering importance as well as its rich cultural heritage; boasting castles, forts, historic architecture and museums. 

As the yacht cruises down the river, be sure to check out Agatha Christie’s childhood home and subsequent bolt-hole from where she drew most of her inspiration for her novels. At the end of the estuary lies the historic town of Totnes, which offers a laid-back bohemian vibe contrasting with its chic boutiques and fine dining options, ideal for a spot of shopping followed by a quick bite to eat before heading back to the yacht. 

Another must-see, if you have time, is the enchanting Burgh island, located west of the uber-glamorous town of Salcombe; accessible either on foot from the tiny seaside village of Bigbury-on-sea across the silken sand bars, or by sea tractor at high tide, which is enormous fun.

This destination almost needs no introduction, famed for its vast golden sandy beaches, charming fishing villages, world-class surfing and striking natural beauty, Cornwall is a must-see destination on anyone’s bucket list. 

Situated on the east coast of Cornwall, lies St. Georges island, a lovely nature reserve a stone’s throw from the mainland. Take a tender ride ashore for a hike along the well-trodden Looe to Polperro trail, which offers beautiful panoramic views of the Atlantic sea.

Heading west around the peninsula, make time for a tour of the majestic Pendennis Castle perched on a promontory in the sailing hub of Falmouth Harbour. 

For yacht charters heading west of Falmouth, aim for Penzance, where you will discover Cornwall’s hidden gems; cruise past the enchanting fishing port of Mousehole famous for its dark smuggling past, before dropping anchor in the crystal clear waters of Lamorna Cove, an exquisite sheltered hamlet which has inspired famous creative artists for centuries. Here you can enjoy Cornwall’s spectacular shore diving scene amongst sea kelp, wrasse and inquisitive sea lions. 

Afterwards, perched high on the cliffs above the Atlantic ocean, you’ll find the amazing granite-hewn open-air Minack Theatre, where you and your guests can enjoy a covid-safe show before heading back to enjoy sundowners on the yacht, gazing out to sea as the sun slowly descends over the horizon. 

Why wait for the rest of the world to reopen when you can gain exclusive access to some of the world’s best anchorages right here in the UK from the luxury of a superyacht.

Scilly Isles

Located a couple of hours cruise from Land’s End, Cornwall, the Scilly Isles are an enchanting archipelago of 145 islands, of which only 5 are inhabited, including St. Mary’s, Tresco and St. Martin’s. These islands are famed for their soft sand beaches, caribbean-esque turquoise waters, extraordinary wildlife and untamed beauty.

For yacht charters around this stunning archipelago there are so many places to see and explore you’ll be spoilt for choice. Visit the 19th Century Benedictine Abbey where you'll find the incredible sub-tropical gardens at the Tresco Abbey Garden and Valhalla Collection – home to thousands of exotic plant species, or take a cruise past Rushy Bay on the once-inhabited island of Samson, where you can sit and watch as seals frolic on the shore. 

For those interested in history, we highly recommend a visit to Cromwell’s castle atop a rocky promontory, situated between the idyllic islands of Bryher and Tresco. This tower was built in 1651 and is one of the last surviving Cromwellian fortifications in Britain.

Types of yacht charter

Whether you are looking for an adventurous yachting getaway with friends, a fun-filled family-oriented vacation or a corporate yacht charter weekend with work colleagues, there is something for everyone onboard the stellar luxury superyacht CHESS. 

Celebrate iconic moments

She is also well-suited for special occasions, whether that's a pre-wedding hen or stag do, romantic honeymoon cruise or special milestone birthday or anniversary, CHESS is the perfect venue to celebrate these beloved iconic moments 

Are you marrying the love of your life this summer? Are you searching for the ultimate honeymoon filled with luxury and adventure? Treat your spouse with a staycation charter on board Motor Yacht Chess and enjoy a romantic cruise of the beautiful South Coast.

Fantastic flexibility for yacht charters

Superyacht CHESS can host up to 12 guests whilst sailing, perfect for luxury day charters around the south coast. It's worth noting that day charters are uncommon for superyacts, so CHESS presents a unique opportunity for those wanting to get a taste of the yachting lifestyle for a shorter period of time. 

CHESS also offers a number of impressive itineraries; choose from day charters around the Isle of Wight to 3-day itineraries incorporating the stunning Jurassic coastline all the way up to Torquay in Devon, or 5 and 7-day itineraries which can include the entire south west coast, including Cornwall. For those keen on exploring the Scilly Isles, you can arrange to meet the yacht in Torquay and cruise west from here, either for a 3-day or 7-day itinerary tailored around you.

She is also available for charters further afield in the UK, as well as the Channel Islands and northern France.

You have the flexibility to design your own itinerary and embrace spontaneity.

The sample itineraries are flexible and can be adjusted to suit your needs, which the captain is more than happy to discuss with you. The sky’s the limit when booking a luxury yacht charter onboard CHESS.

Exploration & Adventure

Luxury yacht charter experiences for adventurers.

Your time for exploration & adventure

Since the earliest days of human civilisation, the sight of a boat leaving harbour has stirred the soul. The unfurling of sails signified journeys into the unknown, expeditions into distant lands and far-flung island chains – the ‘here be dragons’ territory of the map. Today, our vessels have evolved, but the thrill of the unknown that we experience when setting out to sea is undiminished – and there are still dragons to be discovered.

Yomira’s charters can take you beyond the realms of the expected to the most remote and apparently inaccessible locations, immersing you in life-changing experiences that will shift your perspective forever.

Explore the spectacular island archipelago of Raja Ampat , climbing its forested peaks, diving the world’s most biodiverse marine landscape, and contributing to pioneering scientific research and conservation.

Venture into the forests of Papua New Guinea and immerse yourself in the daily life of indigenous tribes untouched by modern society. Surf the coast of Panama, discover the wonders of the Amazon , tick the Galapagos off your bucket list, enjoy an underwater safari in the Great Barrier Reef, spy polar bears in the Norwegian fjords …

Through Yomira, you have access to the most advanced specialist superyachts and exploratory technology available in the world – as well as a network of scientists, anthropologists, archaeologists and polar explorers who can open up every corner of the world for you. Whether it’s taking a long-range icebreaker to the depths of Antarctica, piloting a state-of-the-art ROV along the Pacific sea bed or exploring the unmapped ocean by submersible, Yomira’s bespoke adventure itineraries put you on course for the unforgettable.

UK Plans Talks With Big Tech to Limit Online Harm for Teens

• Ministers want Meta, Google to agree to more parental controls
• Government to launch social media consultation this month

British ministers intend to launch a consultation to gauge ways of limiting the potential harm to children caused by social media.

The UK government plans talks with Alphabet Inc. , Apple Inc. and other technology giants to push them to sign a voluntary charter granting parents more control of social media use by young teens, people familiar with the matter said.

British ministers intend to launch a consultation later this month to gauge ways of limiting the potential harm to children caused by social media, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. The proposed voluntary charter may involve tech firms agreeing to alert parents when their children are repeatedly looking up disturbing content, they said.
