Whether you're chartering a superyacht in the Caribbean, taking a luxury yacht cruise around the Med or exploring cooler climes, you're sure to be faced with the blinding sun and having the right sunglasses not only completes a look, it adds protection.

If you need prescription lenses, you'll want to check this is something your chosen brand can accommodate, as not all do.
