Myriad biomes cover the Americas, and the transitioning seasons bring out the best in these destinations for a luxury yacht charter: See the changing colours in Maine, cruise to Alaska by explorer yacht to see the calving glaciers and rugged wilds, or head to the warm and ever-vibrant Caribbean and Bahamas.

Of all the charter yachts available in the Americas, some are more statement-making than others, and the list below celebrates some of the most spectacular builds of recent years for a celebration like no other to see out the end of the year.
Project X
There’s no mistaking 88m/288.9ft motor yacht PROJECT X from Golden Yachts: A criss-cross design covers the windows amidships on three of the decks. Traditional and contemporary elements blend together in the exterior appearance, and the same could be said of her interiors: Lavish open spaces furnished in natural materials and neo-classical shapes in neutral tones. Floor-to-ceiling windows and carefully placed artificial lighting bring out the quality in the social areas, filled with colourful artwork and a grand piano in the main salon and a bar in the sky lounge.
