Mexico
With its white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, abundant marine life, natural wonders and vibrant cities, Mexico is an adventurer's utopia. An absolute must for any Xplorer itinerary especially if you are looking to get off the beaten track in the Sea of Cortez. Desert coastlines are framed with dry rocks and flashes of green from the large cacti, a reminder of the hot desert climate. And the chances are, you’ll be alone. Many of the best anchorages don’t even show up on a chart.

Galapagos
Ancient volcanoes, 3 converging oceanic currents – bringing with them an incredible mix of marine life – and the rarest ecosystems on earth providing shelter and life to some of the planet’s greatest collection of endemic wildlife known to man. Not to mention the source of inspiration and evidence to naturalist Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. The Galapagos Islands, of which there are 19, are a living laboratory of flora, fauna and wildlife guaranteed to enchant anyone who steps ashore or underwater.

Indonesia
For the ten destinations popular amongst those bringing yachting to this country — including Raja Ampat, Komodo, Bali and Lombok, stunning as they are — Indonesia has another 17,000 islands to explore. Few islands have ever welcomed a superyacht. An Owner with an Xplorer will possess the only bar, spa and dive centre for miles around. And with scuba diving sites unlike any other in the world, some world record holding and others yet to even unveil what lies beneath to humankind, you are going to want to be equipped for life underwater.

Madagascar
For the intrepid adventurers amongst us, Madagascar is a biodiverse paradise, and a bucket list must. A remote, colourful fusion of cultures and home to a collection of wildlife you simply don’t see elsewhere. You’ll enjoy megadiverse nature, idyllically clear warm waters, beautiful unspoilt reefs and an extraordinary concentration of sharks and shipwrecks — including legends of pirate treasure hoards. But as rich in nature as it may be, you need to come prepared as not everything in Madagascar is plentiful and infrastructure is poor. And there lies the beauty in cruising off the beaten track on an Xplorer.
