What is a Yacht Charter?

What is the magic of a private yacht charter? It's really all about total privacy, personal service, gourmet meals, absolute relaxation and seclusion, water sports if you like and no fixed itinerary.

The Yacht Captain will generally recommend the best itinerary and will know the cruising area very well, the prettiest harbors, quietest beaches and best snorkeling or scuba places. But the choice is yours as the itinerary is always flexible: if you discover a place you particularly love, then you can spend extra time there.

A gourmet chef is at your beck and call. Feast on world-class cuisine and fine wine. Relax in the sumptuous comfort of your yacht. Let the crew spoil you.

For experienced sailors, the fully crewed charter is your chance to sail aboard a luxury-class yacht, while you do as little or as much sailing as you wish. Marvelous gourmet meals are prepared and served by your chef. You’ll be absolutely pampered by the crew. You have no chores or responsibilities.

For non-sailors. The fully crewed charter is a cruise vacation with a touch of adventure. You’re not lost in the crowd as you would be on a huge cruise ship. You have an entire private yacht to yourself, and its crew completely at your service.

All crew members are professionals. They are expert sailors, proud of the yachts they sail, and knowledgeable about the places you will visit. The chefs have been trained in the world’s finest culinary schools. Whether their work is on deck or in the galley, each is dedicated to serving you.

Guest accommodations are always private, with separate crew quarters that enable your crew to offer attentive, yet unobtrusive service.

As a minimum, charter yachts always carry snorkel gear and generally much more as well. Floating mats, water-skis, fishing gear, towable rings and kneeboards etc, sea kayaks and beach games are often provided, while on the bigger boats there could be a sailing dinghy, scuba gear and jet-skis. A number of yachts are also well-equipped dive centers. Depending upon the qualifications of the crew, you could also learn scuba too.

Chartering is an ideal vacation for many different groups of people: families, groups of friends or just couples wanting a peaceful and romantic getaway. Chartering need not be an expensive vacation and very often will cost less than staying in a good resort hotel.
