NEXT CHAPTER's winter deployment offers charter guests the opportunity to experience two of the Pacific's most rewarding charter destinations.
The Sea of Cortez, often described as "the world's aquarium," is renowned for its extraordinary marine biodiversity, where guests can have the chance to encounter whales, dolphins, sea lions, and whale sharks while cruising among dramatic desert islands and turquoise bays. Quiet anchorages, world-class sport fishing, and exceptional snorkeling make the region ideal for watersports and adventure-focused yacht charters.
Further south, Costa Rica combines lush rainforests, volcanic landscapes, and pristine Pacific coastlines with an abundance of wildlife both on land and at sea.
Days can be spent exploring secluded beaches, paddleboarding through calm bays, fishing offshore, or discovering protected marine reserves, creating a charter itinerary that blends luxury cruising with unforgettable natural experiences.
With bookings now open for winter 2026/2027, yacht rental NEXT CHAPTER offers guests an exceptional opportunity to experience two of the Eastern Pacific's most captivating yacht charter destinations aboard a proven Benetti superyacht designed for exploration and luxury alike.
