FAQ's
If you are doing a bareboat charter, you need to consider if you have the relevant sailing licences. If you are on a skippered or crewed charter, it's good to understand the weather conditions for the trip so you can bring the appropriate clothing and think about which locations you would like to visit so as you can let the skipper know.
When chartering a yacht consider factors such as budget, yacht size and type, along with the crew when relevant to make sure they're a good fit for you and your party.
Good yachts are always in demand, we recommend booking your charter at least six months before you plan to travel, to get the best choice of yacht.
There are typically five main types of boats and yachts you can hire, which are Sailing Yachts, Catamarans, Motorboats, Gulets and Luxury Yachts (including Superyachts)
The good news is we spend a lot of time vetting who we work with, so this rarely happens, but if there is a problem, you can contact your charter company or ourselves who will be available to sort out any issues.
Once you've found your perfect yacht, you will typically pay an upfront deposit fee for holding the boat (these vary from 20% to 50% of the charter fee), and then you will pay the rest one month before departure.
The typical times for a yacht charter are either 7 or 14 days, but you can charter boats longer if you wish. Most charters, particularly in high season, start on Saturdays and finish seven days later.
A transit log is service package cost that's paid locally and covers all the small but necessary items and maintenance costs for your charter.
This is often possible and depends on the availability of the boat, make sure speak to your charter expert to see what's possible here.
