FAQs
Common charter questions
What destinations do you arrange charters for?
We arrange private charter across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and further afield — matching vessel, crew, and itinerary to how you prefer to travel.
Can management support a yacht that is also offered for charter?
Yes. We coordinate ownership and charter operations so guest weeks, crew rotations, and technical programmes remain aligned without compromising either use.
How far in advance should I book a charter?
Peak summer Mediterranean and winter Caribbean weeks often book months ahead. Earlier enquiry gives more choice of yacht and itinerary; short-notice options can still appear off-market.
What is typically included in a charter rate?
Weekly rates usually cover the yacht, professional crew, and standard onboard equipment. APA (advance provisioning allowance), fuel, food and drink, marina fees, and guest extras are commonly separate — we clarify the full picture before you commit.
How many guests can a charter yacht accommodate?
Guest capacity depends on the yacht’s cabins and flag regulations. We match vessel size and layout to your party — from intimate couples charters to larger family or corporate groups.
Do I need prior yachting experience to charter?
No. A professional captain and crew run the yacht. Your role is to enjoy the itinerary; we help set expectations around dress, tipping customs, and how days on board typically unfold.
Can itineraries be adjusted once the charter begins?
Within reason, yes — weather, local regulations, and the yacht’s range shape what is possible. Captains plan flexibly so destinations can shift while keeping the cruise safe and enjoyable.
