Luxury Yacht Rental in South Korea
Luxury yacht charter guide to south korea.
Gorgeous grace awaits you on the refined shores of South Korea, where endearing hospitality, stunning landscapes, and a soft and beautiful culture welcomes you into a whole new world. Nicknamed the Land of Morning Calm, serenity surrounds South Korea and seeps into everything you do, especially when sailing along the coast to remote sea strewn islands or padding through the green rice fields that etch out the countryside. Even though South Korea seems calm and quiet on the surface, scratch beneath the skin and you see a pulsing world of rocking cities, lively night markets, and incredible food.
Reasons to Charter a Yacht to South Korea
Old and new.
There’s a joyous juxtaposition to be found threaded through the culture of South Korea. While the city may buzz with clean lines, shimmering skyscrapers, and futuristic touches, there’s very much an ancient and traditional feel that floats through the country. From the dance performances to the quaint teahouses, and the beautifully embroidered hanbok costumes, you can trace the lineage of change in South Korea and every moment is celebrated.
Incredible Cuisine
South Korean food is a chic culinary affair whether you are seeking five-star style or street food treats. From the tangy spiced delight of kimchi to melt in the mouth sharing feasts of Korean barbeque, and bibimbap lunches, simmering noodle soups, and tender crispy chicken, there are endless edible extravaganzas to enjoy.
Fashionable Fun
South Korean culture can be something of a trendsetter and for those seeking sublime shopping opportunities as part of their yacht charter adventure, the cities will satiate that appetite. Home to some of the finest luxury skincare products on the planet, South Korea knows how to pave the way for wellness wonders. The fashion scene is also fabulous and as a tax free haven, you can hit up all the flagship stores and elite shopping districts to get your fill.
Where to Visit in South Korea
Seoul is the heart and soul of South Korea. Serving as the country’s capital, this is where you will find all that rich history of dynasties etched into sites like the Gyeongbokgung Palace. For an even deeper sense of culture, be sure to stroll around the historic Bukchon Hanok Village where gorgeous galleries and boutiques entice you to splurge on local handicrafts. When you have had your fill of sightseeing and shopping, Seoul’s eclectic nightlife and slick dining scene is here to keep your senses indulged and you singing karaoke until the small hours.
Juju Island
The largest island in South Korea and also the lushest, Jeju Island is the nation's favorite escape. Shimmering blue seas, sprawling sands, and a glut of glorious outdoor activities makes Juju Island ever tempting especially for yacht charters looking to drop anchor and soak up South Korea's authentic summer vibes. Alongside sublime beach beauty, the seafood on Juju is a rare joy, especially when blended in local dishes like kimbap. After splashing and feasting, active adventurers may wish to hike up the onyx slopes of Sunrise Peak for those pristine views out across the island.
Perched on the South East Coast, Busan is a beauty and occupies prime real estate tucked between mountains and the sea. It’s the perfect destination for those looking to combine buzzing city exploration with coastal parks, evocative temples, and a thriving creative scene. The chic and slick shores of Haeundae Beach are certainly the place to kick back and soak up the atmosphere and the Gamcheon Culture Village is a charming quirky spot for perusing the colorful café scene and snapping postcard pretty pictures.
When to Charter a Yacht to South Korea
The shoulder season months of Spring and Autumn are the best times for dropping anchor in South Korea. Between the months of April to June and again in September to November, visitors can enjoy soft and warm sunlight, dry days, and the sight of the flowers in bloom or the foliage wearing her brightest shades of gold and red.

Superyachts are getting super huge . The race to flex one’s wealth has been heating up, with palatial ships aiming to outdo each other in size. Six years ago, German megayacht builder Lürssen delivered Azzam , the largest privately owned yacht in the world at 590 feet in length, to its owner (thought to be United Arab Emirates President Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan), although it first set sail more than a year later. That yacht one-upped previous record holder Roman Abramovich’s Bloom + Voss–built Eclipse, by almost 60 feet. Meanwhile, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones just bought a 357-foot yacht that’s longer than a football field and comes with two helicopter pads (yet it’s relatively compact compared to Eclipse and Azzam ).

But South Korean yacht designer Chulhun Park is aiming to outdo them all—his latest design, the Valkyrie, promises to be the largest superyacht in the world at a whopping 751 feet.
The Valkyrie , however, will be off-limits to potential billionaire clients—this superyacht will be open to the public, according to CNN . The yacht is still in the design phase, but if built, the Valkyrie could house 52 guests in 26 cabins with 92 crew members in 46 cabins when it sets sail. If the ship is docked, Park says it could accommodate many more visitors.
Park conceived the idea for his new superyacht as part of his thesis project at the Royal College of Art in London, where he was earning his master’s in design. The project was supported by Monaco-based yacht designers Palmer Johnson Yachts —where Park used to work before moving on to Latitude Yachts. Park designed the yacht above the waterline, while Palmer Johnson took care of the engineering and design down below. Valkyrie ‘s construction is tallying an estimated cost of $800 million—that’s $180 million more than Azzam .
Based on sketches at Chulhun.com , the superyacht will have a helicopter landing pad (naturally), a casino, a club, a sky lounge, a beach club, two restaurants, two theaters, a shop, and more. Since it’s not built yet, you will have to wait to find out how much a journey on board will cost you, but with only 26 cabins (and a hefty production cost), you can expect this to blow a high-end cruise out of the water—and come with a price tag to match.

Beautiful journey.”
It was my birthday. My husband and I made a sudden reservation and came here. When we came here a long time ago when our child was young, there was no beach cruise, but now that we stayed in a room with a swimming pool, I felt regretful that I couldn't play with my child like I did when she was young because she has grown up now. The hotel is beautiful, blending in with nature, the rooms are comfortable, the private swimming pool is great, the hotel food is delicious, everything was perfect and it was a cozy and memorable rest. I will come back again.~
Best stay ever in South Korea”
Amazing hotel, clean room, clean bathroom, clean balcony, clean kitchen. Looks and feels better than the pictures shown on the internet. Our stay was really comfortable. Whenever I called them they managed to speak in English with me. The hotel restaurant is great. I'm a vegetarian, so I made a request for vegetarian pasta and they accommodated my request and served only tomato pasta. Pizza was great too. Everyone was polite and helpful. Room cleaning was done every single day of our stay. There's also a play area for the kids to spend time. The views are breathtaking and the beach is not too far from the hotel. A convenience store is also available at the hotel with pretty much everything required for a stay. And the bakery on the first floor was amazing with plenty of options to choose from. I wish to visit here again and would definitely recommend it to others.
Came back again... love it”
Fantastic Stay! Our stay at this property was absolutely fantastic! The value for money, location, cleanliness, staff, and facilities were all exceptional. The parking was convenient, providing ease of access to the property. We were blown away by the breathtaking view from our room, which added an extra touch of magic to our stay. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable experience. The amenities provided were top-notch, offering everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We had a wonderful night's sleep in the cozy and comfortable bed. Overall, we highly recommend this property for an amazing stay!
Didn't Dissapoint”
I only had one night but thoroughly enjoyed my stay. To see the sunrise was stunning and the surrounding gardens and sculpture park were lovely to wander through. Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. My only complaints are that the pool was empty and apparently they don't take solo traveller bookings but when I explained I booked through third party platform and this wasn't mentioned on it they were fine to let me stay.

From Rhodos for a great yacht trip around the Mediterranean Sea
The world’s first on-land cruise ship, this hotel takes all the joy of a cruise ship and combines it with the usefulness of staying in one place.
The sound of waves lapping at the hull is simulated, so you can imagine you are on a cruise.
The location is on a cliff at Jeongdongjin beach, renowned for having the best sunrise in Korea. The revolving bar and lounge on the top floor allow you the best sunrise and sunset view.
From the urban side of Jeongdongjin, the ship looks like it was run ashore. But in reality, it's perched off a high cliff.
The boat is 541 feet (165 meters) long, 148 feet (45 meters) high, and weighs an incredible 30,000 tons.
God knows how they got it up on the cliff in the first place… perhaps it was stranded up there like Noah’s Ark after the flood.
Jeongdongjin is a popular tourist destination thanks to its beautiful beaches and stunning sunrise/sunset views.
The hotel's grand entrance is along two pools, split like the Red Sea by Moses and decorated by statues on both sides.
The circular lounge's focus-point is a piano standing right in the center of the space.
You will be spoiled for a choice of things to do as there is a lounge, nightclub, karaoke bar, seawater pool, and two restaurants.
Your room is a nautical-themed condominium or hotel-style room and features a luxurious bed and entertainment center.
Check out the observation deck with its glass floor suspended above the crashing waves. It looks exactly how you imagine a luxury ocean cruiser to be.
The dolphin-shaped outdoor pool is dotted with sun loungers, and thanks to its elevated position, the panorama is amazing from here.
The ship is next to a park with a sculpture garden so you can wander through curios and beautiful flowers.

Welcome aboard Kim Jong Un’s party boat
It has waterslides. yes, plural.
By Aspen Pflughoeft
Relaxing aboard a luxury yacht seems like a far-off dream for many of us — not so much for North Korea ’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un .
- Recent reports and satellite imagery show that the dictator may be enjoying his luxury yacht for the first time in multiple years, reported The New York Post .
- The party boat was spotted near Kim’s Wonsan mansion compound along the eastern coast of North Korea earlier this week, reported NK News .
What is Kim Jong Un’s party boat like?
Kim’s Princess-brand luxury yacht is decked out with twin twisting waterslides, an Olympic-size swimming pool and a multistory lounge, per NK News.
- The party boat is 260 feet long and recently underwent repairs and a remodel, according to The New York Post .
- NK News described the yacht as a “ floating amusement park. ”
The yacht was last seen at the Wonsan mansion in 2019 but returned to the mansion this week. The ship’s arrival coincided with days that Kim did not make any media appearances, reported The New York Post.
- The timing suggests that Kim has been “ chilling out ” on the yacht or possibly recovering from sickness since the dictator has reportedly lost some weight recently, said The New York Post.
- The “ famously reclusive and rotund ” leader has lost up to 44 pounds recently, according to The New York Post. Kim’s sudden slimness has fueled speculation about his health and his potential successor, who remains unnamed.
Kim’s family, friends or other trusted associates could be at the Wonsan mansion, which has previously hosted guests, per NK News.
- Another smaller boat was docked at Kim’s Hodo Peninsula palace in early July. This palace is 10 miles up the coast from the Wonsan mansion, reported The New York Post.
What’s going on in North Korea?
While the leader of North Korea may be relaxing, the rest of the country does not have that luxury. Conditions in the country have seemed increasingly concerning in recent weeks, reported The New York Post.
- The country is facing a food shortage due to failed crops, international sanctions and a strict COVID-19 lockdown, reported the Deseret News .
- North Korea has continued to claim that it has zero coronavirus cases. However, last month, Kim admitted that the country faced a “ grave incident ” related to the pandemic, per Deseret News .

The best pictures of Koru
In 2022, the 125.8-metre sailing yacht Koru made history when she hit the water at Oceanco ’s Alblasserdam facilities. Now successfully delivered, she is the flagship of the Oceanco fleet and the largest Dutch-built yacht in the world.
BOAT rounds up the best pictures of the three-masted sailing yacht owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos...
Koru unable to dock in Florida
Koru arrived at Port Everglades, Florida in November 2023 following a months-long Mediterranean cruise that included stopovers in Dubrovnik, Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer and Calabria (according to BOATPro ). The sailing yacht was too large to anchor in the nearby marina, which has a maximum capacity of 121.9 metres. She was photographed instead docking next to a 297-metre cruise ship named Rhapsody of the Seas .
Koru's helicopter landing
Last summer, Koru was spotted in the French Riveria alongside her 75-metre support vessel Abeona . Delivered by Damen Yachting two months before the mothership, Abeona is equipped with a helipad and hangar for a D14 value helicopter– which is clearly being put to good use. Accommodation is for up to 45 people onboard Bezos' support vessel, including crew, guests and other specialist staff.
Koru in Portofino
Koru and Abeona also travelled to Portofino in the summer of 2023, with both Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez sighted enjoying lunch and taking photographs while on board.
Koru's figurehead
Throughout construction, it was difficult to get a glimpse of the details on board Koru ; but once handed over, all of her traditional features could be admired up close. As well as the intricate gold paintwork and scarlet bootstripe, the yacht also features an elaborate figurehead made of polished wood. The woman is wearing a necklace with a symbol in the pendant, which some have speculated could be the Māori symbol meaning "koru".
Koru in front of Palma Cathedral
After delivery, the schooner spent some time enjoying the waters of Mallorca. The Balearic hotspot is a magnet for superyachts during the Mediterranean season, but Koru had the quiet anchorage largely to herself after leaving the Oceanco shipyard. Her classic lines could be appreciated in all of their glory against the backdrop of Palma Cathedral.
Koru delivered to Mallorca
In April 2023. Koru was delivered and undertook her maiden voyage from the Netherlands to Gibraltar. She then headed onwards to Palma, giving the world a first glimpse of her cascading aft decks, mighty masts and elaborate aft deck pool arrangement. She was flying solo in Mallorca, but was later joined by support vessel Abeona .
Koru in Gibraltar
Following her successful sea trials in Rotterdam, Koru embarked on journey to Palma, Mallorca that involved an overnight anchorage in Gibraltar. The sailing yacht was sighted passing through the Strait of Gibraltar a second time on her cross-continental journey from the Mediterranean to the USA in November 2023.
Koru on sea trials
Koru was spotted departing from Rotterdam in the early morning light of February 13 to begin sea trials. The 125.8-metre Oceanco set sail across the North Sea to put her performance to the test after hitting the water for the first time in August 2022. The traditional three-masted schooner yacht has a midnight blue hull, traditional canoe stern and the unique addition of a chair at the very tip of the bowsprit. Her name represents the idea of life’s perpetual movement and is a Māori word closely related to that of an unfurling leaf.
Koru with her masts stepped
The yacht was seen for the first time in her final form on the dock in the Port of Rotterdam. Her trio of masts was stepped here to avoid having to dismantle any bridges to allow the Oceanco giant yacht to pass under. The maximum height of the bridge is 70 metres; the masts on Koru are thought to measure between 65 and 85 metres. The first images of Koru indicate the yacht will have plenty of features for her owner to enjoy, including an aft deck pool and a large, uncluttered sundeck.
Koru launched
The 125.8-metre yacht was moved from Oceanco’s primary facilities at the crack of dawn to enter the final stages of construction. The hull was transported via Dordrecht and Spijkenisse (Oude Maas), and her masts were transported separately via the slightly shorter Rotterdam Centre (Nieuwe Maas).
Koru moves through the Dutch canals
Before she hit the water, the hull of Koru was loaded onto a transport vessel and she made the journey through the Dutch canals for further construction work. The yacht was captured against the backdrop of the quaint Dutch countryside, revealing her classic-looking lines and long rows of windows.
Koru from a bird's eye view
As she was wheeled out of the shed into the light of day, yacht-spotters were able to get their first proper aerial shot of the yacht, without her masts.
Koru rolls out of the shed
When Oceanco completed the work on the hull, the yacht was rolled out of the shed to reveal a crisp navy hull and white superstructure. Koru ’s exterior design immediately drew a comparison to Lürssen’s 93-metre sailing yacht Eos , which was designed by US-based Langan Design . This was the world’s first sighting of the already iconic superyacht.
