General Questions

What is a yacht charter?

A yacht charter is the process of renting a yacht for a specified period, either with or without a crew, to enjoy a private and personalized sailing experience.

How does the chartering process work?

You start by selecting your preferred dates, destination, and yacht type. Our team then finds the best available options for you, finalizes the details, and handles all bookings and arrangements.

What is the difference between a crewed and bareboat charter?

Crewed Charter: Comes with a professional captain, crew, and often a chef for a fully catered experience.
Bareboat Charter: You rent the yacht without a crew and must have the necessary sailing qualifications to operate it yourself.

Where can I charter a yacht?

We offer charters in top destinations, including the Caribbean, Bahamas, Mediterranean, Greece, Croatia, France, Italy, and Turkey. Custom itineraries are also available worldwide.

Do I need a sailing license to charter a yacht?

If you're booking a bareboat charter, a valid sailing license is required in most regions. For crewed charters, no license is needed.

Pricing & Booking

How much does a yacht charter cost?

Pricing depends on the yacht size, location, season, and additional services requested. Charter rates typically range from €5,000 to over €500,000 per week.

What is included in the charter price?

Use of the yacht for the agreed duration
Crew services (for crewed charters)
Standard equipment and safety gear

Some charters also include meals, drinks, and water sports equipment.

Are there any additional costs?

Additional expenses may include:

APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance): Covers fuel, food, docking fees, and onboard extras (~20-30% of the charter fee).
Taxes & VAT: Varies by region.
Gratuities: Crew tips (typically 10-15% of the charter fee).

What payment terms do you offer?

Typically, a 50% deposit is required to secure the booking, with the remaining balance due 4-6 weeks before departure.

Planning & Preparation

How far in advance should I book my charter?

High season (summer/winter holidays): At least 6-12 months in advance.
Low season: 3-6 months in advance for the best availability.

What should I pack for my yacht charter?

Lightweight clothing, swimwear, and deck shoes
Sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats
Waterproof bags for valuables
Travel documents and any required licenses

Can I customize my itinerary?

Yes! We tailor your route based on your interests, whether you prefer secluded beaches, island hopping, or vibrant nightlife destinations.

Onboard Experience & Services

Is food and drink included?

Crewed Charters: Often include full-board or half-board meal options.
Bareboat Charters: You can stock the yacht yourself or request provisioning services.

Can I bring my own food and alcohol?

Most charters allow you to bring your own, but we can also arrange pre-stocked provisions based on your preferences.

Are there activities and water toys available?

Many yachts offer water toys such as jet skis, paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and inflatables. Larger yachts may also include diving equipment or even mini-submarines.

Is WiFi available on the yacht?

Most yachts have WiFi, but the connection quality depends on the location.

Policies & Safety

What happens in case of bad weather?

The captain will adjust the itinerary to ensure safety while still providing the best possible experience. In extreme cases, rescheduling may be an option.

What are the cancellation and refund policies?

Cancellation terms vary, but most charters require 30-90 days notice for partial refunds. Travel insurance is recommended to cover unforeseen circumstances.

Are pets allowed on board?

Some yachts allow pets, while others do not. Let us know in advance so we can find a pet-friendly option.

What if I have a medical emergency during my charter?

All yachts have basic first aid kits, and larger vessels often have professional medical staff. Emergency evacuation procedures are in place for serious situations.
