Nothing is ever too much to ask for onboard Motor Yacht Loon, especially when the festive holiday season approaches. At a time for families and friends to be together to enjoy the Christmas festivities, Yacht Loon plays the perfect host, making it truly unique and unforgettable. Whether a quiet, relaxing week is on your Christmas wishlist or a more active time hitting the party hotspots, a Christmas charter in the Caribbean can tick all the boxes.
Loon’s Captain and his crew have the most amazing Caribbean cruising itineraries lined up and can tailor the experience to suit you and your guests perfectly. Here are some ideas to get your imagination flowing about how you could spend a Christmas charter in the Caribbean this year.
A Loon Wonderland
When you charter a superyacht over the festive season, sometimes there is the worry that it won’t ‘feel’ like Christmas, but as soon as you step aboard Yacht Loon, you will find yourself in a world transformed into a floating festive paradise.
The yacht is beautifully adorned with Christmas decor, combining the perfect amount of luxury and festivity, capturing those holiday vibes in a tropical setting. The crew onboard create the ideal atmosphere, from the grand Christmas tree taking centre stage and twinkling lights dotted around to creative tablescapes and festive florals. If you want to get involved in any arts and crafts, there is always the chance to make your own decoration or wreath.
Onboard, there is the perfect blend of space for group activities and intimate areas for those holiday-quality moments. And, when you reside to your cabin for some downtime, you may even find a little extra special treat from Santa’s helpers to enjoy.
Time to Indulge
Throughout your charter on M/Y Loon, you will be treated to a range of meticulously put-together menus from the expert chefs. Rather than juggling the Christmas menu planning yourself, you can sit back and enjoy theirs.
Whether you opt for a traditional Christmas dinner of stuffed turkey with all your favourite trimmings, enjoy the Christmas feast alfresco on the decorated aft deck. Or if you’d like to embrace your tropical destination and choose something a bit less conventional – think, lobster barbecued in a picturesque beach anchorage perhaps, every meal will be one to remember.
However, you choose to have your meals throughout the week, they can all be washed down with Christmas-themed signature Loon cocktails. Whether a simple mimosa at a festive brunch or a Christmas twist on a Caribbean rum punch enjoyed at sundowners, the crew can craft cocktails suitable for both the adults and the children, adding that extra touch of family holiday cheer to your experience.
Onboard Festive Fun
Loon’s Captain will ensure you are always settled into the best anchorages on your Caribbean charter, and he knows the best-hidden spots throughout the islands, especially within the BVIs (Read more about our BVI itinerary here).
When anchored, you can delve into Motor Yacht Loon’s water toy box, including our range of custom FunAir inflatables & massive Sea Pool setup that we are known for. Why not make a new Christmas morning tradition? Before the present opening, everyone can have a morning splash on our yacht slide. For another dose of fun-filled holiday adrenaline, the Cabrinha kites and the Caribbean winds are perfect for a spot of kitesurfing. There is also plenty of Scubapro scuba diving equipment that you can use to dive into the crystal clear Caribbean seas and explore the underwater marine life with Loon’s onboard instructor before settling into a relaxing day.
The holidays are a time for rest and relaxation, and the pre-Christmas stress fades away as soon as you get on board. Whether you go for a gentle paddle board, get the crew to set you up with a spa afternoon complete with a massage & facial, catch some rays on the loungers with a book or hop into the Jacuzzi, there are plenty of ways to enjoy ultimate relaxation onboard Yacht Loon. For the younger guests, festive entertainment can be arranged by Santa’s little helpers, guiding them toward hidden treasures and festive surprises around the yacht. We can also arrange for Santa to come and visit the yacht in true Caribbean style. We ditch the reindeer & sleigh and fire up the yacht toys to make his arrival extra special. Check out our post on Instagram of Santa arriving in style on an efoil for our Christmas Charter last year. It makes for great entertainment for everyone onboard.
As the sunsets, Christmas movie nights, themed quizzes and games, and even Christmas carol karaoke can be enjoyed on the open deck underneath the starry Caribbean sky.
Adventures Ashore
No matter when you visit, you will never be bored on a superyacht charter in the Caribbean, from swimming with famous pigs in the Exumas, zip lining through rainforests in the USVIs, to horse riding along the white sandy beaches of the BVIs.
Switching out the white snow of winter for white sandy beaches this Christmas, the crew can plan the best beach days and an array of activities ashore with something for guests of all ages. The beach set-ups this time of year even come with Santa hats for the sand snowman.
Each island in the Caribbean has its unique tradition for the holiday season. When venturing ashore in the tender, there are plenty of quirky traditions to experience. Depending on where you are, you will likely come across carol singers, parades, special holiday festivals, church services and street parties. Wherever you choose to charter in the Caribbean, Loon will always be sure to find you the best firework displays to see within the festive period.
Crew Christmas Spirit
The crew onboard Yacht Loon work their magic at every time of year to ensure you have the most unforgettable superyacht charter experience, so during the holidays, that is no different. One of the best parts of a Christmas charter is the stress-free experience it offers. Onboard Loon, every detail will be taken care of and the crew will create the most imaginative, festive fun to entertain both adults and children alike. They are attentive to your every need and will always ensure your Caribbean charter runs smoothly.
