One of the fast growing vacation types is crewed charter yacht vacations, and specifically skippered or fully crewed yacht charters. At one time deemed only for the privileged few, yacht charter vacations today have become popular, easy and affordbale, with rates from as little as $110 per person per day, or from $700 per person per week.
Crewed yachts come in all sizes -- from small sailing yachts with a crew of one to mega motor yachts with a crew of 100. For yachts we arrange, all crews are fully licensed and professional.
Where can I enjoy a crewed charter yacht vacation?
We can provide yacht charters in many locations around the world including:
the Caribbean (BVI, French West Indies, Leeward's, Windward's); Mediterranean (Western Med, Turkey, Greece, Croatia): U.S. (New England, Alaska, Pacific NW); Bahamas; Mexico; South Pacific; Indian Ocean/Seychelles,and more.
What are the advantages of a crewed yacht charter vacation?
A crewed yacht vacation, full of fun and adventure, is exclusive. You have your own crew, meals are gourmet quality prepared by your private chef, and all preferences can be accommodated. Families and friends enjoy time together, and yacht vacations are very safe for children.
How does a price of a crewed charter yacht vacation compare to other vacations?
A crewed yacht charter is generally less expensive than many all-inclusive vacations and cruises. Most crewed yacht charter rates are around $300 per person per day (comparable to many cruises), and include all meals, plus all drinks including wine. Also included are water sports, which can include kayaking, water skiing, wake boarding, sailing, fishing, snorkeling, SCUBA diving (and training), and more.
A family or group of four could charter a yacht for a week with basic crew for a cost comparable to what some cruise ships charge. Of course, the elbow room will be tight, the service casual and cuisine not as refined, but the advantages are it's your boat, and you can dictate where to spend the time and how much time to spend where. There's no one else sharing your vacation, and you can go to places the big ships can't navigate.
What do I need to get the process started?
All we need to know is:
-- how many people may be going,
-- the number of beds and cabins
-- ages and relationships (for the right type of yacht and bedding configurations)
-- where you want to go
-- what dates you want to go
-- whether you prefer sail or motor power
-- if you have a budget in mind
