If you’re feeling the January blues and need a warm-weather getaway this winter, Air Partner has joined forces with leading yacht brokerage house Camper & Nicholsons to create a series of ‘sky to sea’ packages. Vincent Kavanagh, senior vice president for sales at Air Partner, explains the motivation for the partnership: “Our clientele is always seeking a lavish private adventure, and partnering with a leader in the marine space gives them the opportunity to enjoy the finest in secluded travel in the air and at sea.We can’t think of a better winter escape than flying private to catch a yacht bound for the open water.” Neither can we!

Fly to yachting hub Fort Lauderdale with Air Partner, who works with guests to customize their onboard flight experience to complement their destination choice—enjoy custom menus inspired by local cuisine: fresh seafood and Cuban fare, paired with a selection of wines and tropical cocktails to get you in the mood.

Then sail to a number of destinations, including the Bahamas, Turks & Caicos and Florida’s Elliott Key, Key Largo and Newfound Harbor, aboard vessels like the aptly named 180.4-ft Benetti-built Ocean Paradise (pictured, middle) or unwind on the deck of the 221.4-ft Icon (pictured, right).
