THE PERFECT GIFT!

Give or treat yourself to a subscription to Boats in Motion print + digital and for only 39 euros a year you get the magazine at home plus read it on your PC, smartphone and tablet. With a sea of advantages.

A long cruise around the world. That’s what we have done to offer you a selection of the top ten not-to-be-missed destinations for your winter holidays on the sea. From the British Virgin Islands to French Polynesia, from Hawaii to Seychelles, from Brazil to Cape Verde, between gorgeous vegetation and turquoise waters, the following are the 10 havens of 2018- 2019 winter. For each destination, we have also indicated the average daily price required to rent a motor boat (possibly a bareboat, with no crew) between late December and early February, avoiding, of course, Christmas holidays. As you can see, we bring example prices for average day charter because in those destinations motor yachts are rent for small periods, maybe two or three days. Of course, in addition to boat rental, you have to consider the cost of your return flight and for the others costs even if many operators propose special offers where both boat flights are included at interesting prices.
