November 20, 2025–Pelorus is seeing a notable rise in families and friend groups booking holiday yachting escapes as an alternative to traditional land-based celebrations. Two standout charter opportunities—one for this festive season, and one for next—offer entirely different but equally unforgettable ways to spend the holiday:

Festive 2025: A Warm-Weather Costa Rica Escape Aboard Kontiki Wayra
This boho-chic boutique yacht cruises Costa Rica’s Pacific coastline and accommodates up to 18 guests, perfect for multi-gen gatherings or close-knit groups. Guests can enjoy:

• A waterslide, pool, and Jacuzzi

• A toy chest packed with Seabobs, SUPs, snorkeling gear and more

• Pelorus-designed adventures through rainforests and biodiverse coastal waters, from snorkeling and diving to paddling mangrove coves
  

Festive 2026: Under the Northern Lights on the New Captain Arctic

Looking ahead, Pelorus is already receiving interest for Captain Arctic, the world’s first solar-powered sailing yacht with near-zero carbon emissions. Hosting up to 30 guests, this expedition vessel is designed for an immersive winter-wonderland holiday in Norway. Experiences include:

• An expedition toy chest outfitted with specialized cold-water equipment for kayaking, snorkeling, fishing, and more

• An onboard science lab supporting environmental research

• A polar-plunge tub, sauna, and full spa, plus opportunities to surf Arctic waves, hike Viking trails, and explore fjords, icebergs, and white-desert landscapes
