New Year is a time when we look back on the year behind us with reflection, and forward to the year ahead with new resolutions made. It is also the time for a great big celebration! Superyachts allow families and friends to ring in the New Year together, enjoying the best seats in the house for legendary fireworks displays, rip-roaring parties or intimate dinners. Here we take a look at the top 5 destinations for a New Year superyacht charter.
