With a huge rise in people seeking private and exclusive experiences, luxury yacht charters are one of the hottest and fastest growing travel trends of 2021. But chartering a luxury yacht is worlds away from renting an on-land luxury villa or apartment. There are weather conditions, travel routes, crew, advanced provisioning, fuel, and many other aspects to consider if you want to ensure it is a truly unforgettable, world-class experience

A luxury yacht charter has something for everyone. Whether you're planning a glamorous and activity-packed one-day event or looking for a long, relaxing, city-hopping vacation, there is a yacht charter for you. However, especially if it's your first time chartering a yacht, the process may not seem so simple. Thanks to their versatility, there are endless options and questions to consider long before ever getting out on the water.

As CEO of EliteLyfe, I’ve had the good fortune to travel to many exotic and exclusive vacation destinations around the world. All for work, of course. It’s all part of our service. When dealing with the upper end of the luxury travel market, detail is everything, and we have to make sure that everything is perfect.

Niko’s position within the luxury travel industry is certainly unique. Over six years, he’s grown his brand, EliteLyfe, from a high-mark concierge service in Los Angeles to encompass a complete range of luxury travel services for elite globetrotters. Niko is the guy who makes billionaires’ dreams come true. Based out of Miami, EliteLyfe is a specialist travel brokerage for high-net-worth individuals. His enviable client book includes numerous famous names and his reputation is on the rise as the go-to guy for celebrity travelers...

Standing out as one of the most desirable vacation destinations for 2021, Punta Mita in Mexico has everything you could dream of in terms of beach life, resort amenities, and huge private villas that perfect casual open-air living. Do you know about Punta Mita? It’s one of the best-kept secrets in Mexico. Getting there is super easy. It’s a three-hour flight from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta airport followed by a 45-minute private transfer to the resort.

This year, with the desire for privacy and exclusivity higher than ever, many skiers are looking to take their winter break a little further afield than simply the slopes of Aspen. At EliteLyfe, we love ski season. The mountain villas and lodges we represent are some of the largest, most impressive real estate in the United States.

Saint Barthelemy - the French-speaking Caribbean island known as St Barts - is renowned the world over as the vacation destination of choice for A-list celebrities, royal families, and super-rich tycoons. While it’s not uncommon to see well-known faces lapping up the sweet sunshine in the Turks and Caicos Islands, Barbados, or the Bahamas, St Barts offers something a little different. Most celebrities look to escape the ever-watching public eye by opting for an ultra-private destination, hence going to the Caribbean’s remote cays and private islands. St Barts, however, is a place to see and be seen, where the world’s glitterati feel comfortable enough to relax, let their hair down, and party like us regular mortals.

While we are not unaccustomed to dealing with luxury products that are not on the market here at EliteLyfe, we are thrilled to be in the unique position to offer one of the rarest hypercars ever built. Anyone who’s tried will likely have failed. You cannot find one of these anywhere in the world to buy, but here at EliteLyfe, we’re used to making magic happen, and we’ve managed to source one. Yes, petrolheads, if you want to get your hands on a Lamborghini Sian, we can make it happen.

As CEO of EliteLyfe, I’ve had the good fortune to visit some of the most exclusive vacation destinations on the planet in order to ensure the facilities and services on offer are at the standards that our elite clientele expect (and deserve). This is a hugely important part of our work; we don’t promote products based solely on their location. In the world of luxury travel, attention to detail is everything. It’s essential that the villas and resorts in our portfolio are thoroughly vetted beyond the beautiful photos to make sure they are of the highest standards.

As a leading provider of luxury accommodation for the world’s elite travelers, here at EliteLyfe, we are used to dealing with high-end property that is at the absolute pinnacle of contemporary and/or traditional design. Having said that, from time to time, we add a new property to our portfolio that is so impressive it even stops us in our tracks and stands head and shoulders above the other ultra-luxurious villas we represent to truly embody the peak of elite accommodation.

I just got back to Miami after a busy few weeks in the Turks and Caicos Islands, where we significantly broadened the portfolio of luxury villas and services we offer down there in what is my favorite Caribbean paradise. One of the most exciting things I discovered on my travels that is perfect for EliteLyfe clients is a brand-new micro-resort on the peaceful, southern coast of Providenciales, The Shore Club. I was hosted by the manager, Anthony Johnson, who is a lovely guy and gave me a full tour of the properties, the amenities, the facilities, and of course, the beach.

Hey, it’s Niko here. I’m back in Miami after an inspirational trip to Turks and Caicos to finalize our preparations for Christmas in the Caribbean and, while I’m glad to be back home, as always, I’ll miss the pure simplicity of beach life in Turks. My whirlwind tour of Providenciales took in some brand-new villas, gave me the chance to check in on the collection of luxury properties we already represent in Turks and Caicos, and allowed me to finalize our private chefs, butlers, and entertainers for the coming holiday season.
