As the end of 2018 approaches, we can reflect on what can only be described as an incredible couple of years for Fraser. Last year the world's leading yacht brokerage celebrated its 70th anniversary in style, selling 50 yachts over 25 metres. This year the success keeps flowing, including the accolade of being named the number one brokerage for the five consecutive years from 2013 - 2017 in The Superyacht Report's inaugural The Brokerage Report. In the publication, Fraser's role in an impressive '20 per cent of all sales made between 2013 and 2017 by the brokerages in the ranking table,' was applauded, as was the company's ability to sell yachts faster than its competitors.

A dazzling display of the finest superyachts for sale in the world, it's understandable that when you talk of the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS), the first thing that springs to mind is yachts. But this prestigious event, which is held every September in the principality's glittering Port Hercules, is also a showcase dedicated to all aspects of the luxury lifestyle, including cars, helicopters and watches - not to mention the setting for some very exclusive events. Upscale Living Magazine went behind the scenes at this year's MYS, which was held from September 26th to 29th, to bring you the highlights away from the yachts.

The day after the Monaco Grand Prix, images of Bella Hadid and Tom Brady partying with race winner Daniel Ricciardo on a Tag Heuer corporate yacht charter were splashed all over social media. Scenes like this are synonymous with the French Riviera in summer, where superyachts jostle for space off the coast of Saint-Tropez, Cannes and Antibes with an onboard guest list that reads like a who's-who of Hollywood. In the midst of all the celebrations Tim Morley, a broker specialising in Mediterranean yacht charters, had quietly arranged to offset the carbon footprint of his high-profile charter. It was a simple gesture that would better the lives of people thousands of miles away in rural India - and demonstrate the increase in environmental awareness that has occurred in the yachting industry over the last decade.

A yacht with an onboard gym is vital for yacht owners who want to stay fit and healthy while travelling the world in style. Imagine running on the treadmill or working up a sweat on the cross trainer as the yacht floats through stunning landscapes, whether that's the tropical islands of the Caribbean, the active volcanoes of Sicily, or the ethereal blue-green icebergs of Antarctica. With a yacht gym you can exercise any time of day or night in complete privacy - and what's more, as soon as you finish your workout, it's only a few steps to dive into the cool, refreshing sea, or relax tired muscles in the yacht's Jacuzzi.

The gastronomic experience is one of the most crucial elements of the luxury yacht experience. On board, you have the yacht's private chef creating culinary feasts for each meal, but you'll also want to come ashore to visit some of the world's most spectacular restaurants. Arrive in style, either stepping off the boat and walking in the warm night air to the restaurant, or speeding up to the restaurant's jetty - James Bond-style - in your yacht's tender. Read on to discover five of the finest restaurants accessible by yacht.

After all, this is the season of indulgence; a time to spoil and celebrate our friends and family. But sometimes, no matter how many unusual luxury gifts you see, nothing seems quite right.

There's no doubt that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but there comes a time in every person's life when it needs a little shake up.

Greenland in the spring is a bucket list experience - a chance to see the crystallised Arctic landscapes at their best. It's also something best done by yacht: cruising from remote destination to destination, revelling in the surrounding wilderness, with a selection of adrenaline-fuelled activities to keep your heart racing. Seeing Greenland by boat means swathes of unexplored terrain. Heli skiing, dog sledding and snowmobiling across the dramatic, mountainous landscape. Ice diving to spot unusual marine life. And Greenland on a luxury charter yacht like 77.4m LEGEND means doing all that from an opulent on-the-water home, with access to amenities such as an onboard spa and gym, gourmet meals and an ultra-heated alfresco Jacuzzi. Discover what makes this the trip of a lifetime below.

As morning sprays colours all around Bourayne Bay's surrounding cliffs, a repeated call comes from afar. Hep...hep...hep... Yooo. Several low canoes are rowing all together towards a yacht and the call precedes the six men in the canoes switching the paddle to the other side each time. Locals teaching a visiting yacht about Va'a, a traditional Tahitian outrigger canoe, is just one of the many authentic cultural experiences available to superyacht guests in Tahiti according to Etienne Boutin of Asia Pacific Superyachts Tahiti.

You don't need to have spent time in the City of Gold to know what it's about. The mere mention of Dubai conjures a mirage of shimmering glass sky rises, marinas filled with luxury shared boat ownership yachts and a heady sense of opulence and 21st century lustre. This is Dubai as the world has come to see it - a reputation nurtured by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, Dubai's ambitious ruler. Rumours of such an exuberant Shangri-la-esque city are not exaggerated, so it comes as no surprise that the Dubai Shopping Festival has been coined the biggest (and probably the most impressive) shopping festival in the world.

A superyacht escape is a dream luxury holiday for many, but what can it offer adrenaline junkies? As it turns out, when combined with Arctic heli skiing, pretty much everything you could wish for. Heli skiing trips mean being flown by helicopter to the top of a mountain in a quest for untouched powder and phenomenal views. They deliver a level of freedom and adventure that is simply not attainable by ski lift. Now imagine being able to explore the polar ice caps like this while staying on a luxury superyacht. Slicing down virgin slopes, viewing the northern lights, relaxing back at your yacht anchored in the dramatic fjords of Greenland. Spending a day husky-sledding and ice-diving before a massage in the yacht's Balinese spa, a soak in the ultra-heated Jacuzzi, or an elegant dinner prepared by the yacht's private chef. Sounds like paradise to me.
