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. When the frosty weather and short days become gloomy, the idea of hosting your extended family for the fifth year in a row is exhausting and you've had enough turkey to last a lifetime, don't worry - there is another way. An exotic Christmas is a fantastic way to escape the usual yuletide traditions whilst still treating yourself, and Christmas on a yacht takes this indulgence to the next level. However, with so many destinations to choose from, how does one decide? We're here to help, with the knowledge that although there are many fabulous potentials, nothing comes close to a Maldives Christmas yacht charter.

With its beautiful beaches, crystal blue sea and delightful, historic towns, Croatia is fast becoming one of Europe's premier summer hotspots. But its allure certainly doesn't end when the swarms of tourists disappear and the temperatures start to drop. Indeed, many locals would argue that the months of October and November are the best times to visit Croatia - with warm weather lasting well into autumn and sea temperatures still allowing for day time swims. So, with this in mind, we have prepared a Croatia yacht charter itinerary for those hoping to head away for a last-minute yacht sharing holiday.

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 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.

As summer in the Med slowly draws to its end, you may well be left feeling like there were a thousand more things you could have done: sipped that last margherita on the beach; had that alfresco dinner or blowout BBQ; spent the day lounging outside with a good book.

But fear not, because although the summer's nearly over, there is still plenty of time to book an end-of-season yachting holiday. What's more, with SmartYacht Club Membership - or indeed our alternative Shared Boat Ownership schemes - it doesn't have to cost the earth.

There was a time when visiting Antarctica by boat meant hunkering down in cramped conditions on the back of a research vessel or, at best, being stuck on a Southern Hemisphere cruise with hundreds of other people, with no freedom to design your itinerary. With few explorer yachts available for charter, many travellers struggled to make the journey on their own, often missing out on the breathtaking White Continent.

If you're chartering for the first time, it's easy to be confused by the range of yachts you have to choose from, starting with the core question of 'motor vs sailing yacht'. Over the years, sailing yachts have grown to become larger and more luxurious, so it's not a simple question of sport and romance vs space and luxury any more. However, some differences do remain, and whether your perfect charter yacht is a motor yacht or sailing yacht may depend largely on your personality and the purpose of the charter.
