Captain’s Choice targets UK luxury agents

Posted by author February 23, 2025 Travel

Australian private jet and travel specialist Captain’s Choice is eyeing a major expansion into the UK market.

Luxury travel agents will be central to Captain’s Choice’s business development strategy.

The company has created an “off the shelf” solution that allows agents to offer holidays to the world’s most remote destinations via luxurious modes of travel including privately chartered jets, trains and ships, or driving a range of supercars.

Each itinerary is customisable, and clients can choose from a wide choice of included ‘Your World’ experiences, for bespoke experiences reflective of individual interests.

Trips are ATOL protected, and come with a Tour Manager and a Tour Doctor on every journey.

Cait Gargett, Manager of Captain’s Choice, UK & Europe, said: “I’m excited to begin working with the UK trade, and eager to forge new partnerships with luxury agents.

“There is a huge opportunity for agents to increase the volume of their highest-value bookings. I believe that access to our worldwide portfolio of unique and seamless journeys will be a huge asset to the trade.”
