BORNEO
BORNEOFor the couple looking to walk on the wild side
Last year superyachts were given the green light to visit Borneo, as North Borneo, East Coast Borneo and the South Philippines were declared “safe and peaceful”. The Lloyds Joint War Committee removed these regions as War Listed Areas meaning that it is now no longer necessary to acquire special permission to visit the region.
Perfect for a couple that love nature the region offers some incredible wildlife experiences both underwater and on land. Take a boat safari on the Kinabatangan River and spot orangutan, pigmy elephants and monkeys or swim with turtles in the waters off Sipadan. Complete your trip with a couple of nights on dry land in one of Borneo’s stunning rainforest lodges.
Borneo is one of most adventurous destinations to visit by superyacht and could provide an unforgettable experience.
SEYCHELLES
For the couple that wants to get away from it all
Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge’s honeymoon destination of choice, the Seychelles, offers a secluded tropical paradise.
With more than 100 small islands to explore and breath-taking beaches with crystal clear seas, the Seychelles present newlyweds with a refreshing opportunity to escape crowded and commercialised destinations.
The islands are also home to two UNESCO world heritage sites — Aldabra Atoll and Vallée de Mai. Aldabra Atoll is comprised of four large coral islands which enclose a shallow lagoon and is home to more than 150,000 giant tortoises.
Although boating facilities in the Seychelles are fairly limited, as long as you have a well-stocked luxury yacht you will be able to find plenty of romantic, secluded bays in which to anchor.
THE FRENCH RIVIERA
For the couple looking for traditional glamour
The spectacular scenery and glamorous vibe found along the coast offers a unique draw to any couple seeking a luxury honeymoon destination.

If fine dining is your passion then the French Riviera also offers some of the best restaurants in the world.
THAILAND

You can finish your honeymoon in Trieste taking, in its mix of culture from the German, Latin and Slavic worlds.
INDONESIA
For the couple looking for an adventure
Indonesia is still a relatively new superyacht destination but what it lacks in established facilities it makes up for in diversity.
The country is made up of more than 17,000 islands spanning an area of 735,358 sq miles, making it an idyllic cruising ground. From the temples of Bali to cruising through the Ring of Fire Indonesia promises a variety of incredible experiences.
