Yacht charter - you too can experience super yachting by Neil Tufano

Yacht charter is the perfect way to enjoy a super yacht lifestyle without the costs and responsibilities of yacht ownership. For anyone who is considering yacht purchase, or simply doesn't want the year-round responsibility of owning and maintaining their own vessel, charter yachts are a perfect way to get to sea. And with several different types of charter available, there's something for both the qualified hands-on skipper and clients who want the crew to relax while a crew does everything for them. And of course, there's the choice of power or sail to make, as both sailing vessel and motor yacht charter is possible.

Super yacht charter - the world is yours

With the right budget, suitable skills and enough time a chartered yacht could take you around the globe. More usually, luxury yacht charters are for a more limited period and restricted to a specific area: the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the Pacific Northwest, or even the Far East. Yacht charter in the Med and Caribbean yacht charters are, for obvious reasons, enormously popular. One only has to imagine clear blue waters, waving palms and dazzling white beaches to understand the appeal of helming a chartered schooner through the waters that Captain Morgan once navigated...

Different types of yacht charter

Whether you choose the Med or the Caribbean, several different types of charter are available. Among these are skippered yacht charter and crewed yacht charters. The difference lies in the number of crew members that come with the yacht. Indeed, with the right qualifications and experience it would be quite possible for a skipper and crew team to charter a 'bareboat' yacht without any accompanying personnel. And for the ultimate business incentive or corporate event, how about corporate yacht charter?

How to find the right firm for your needs

Making the right choice of company and charter yacht is vital to the success of your voyage. Yacht charter isn't a cheap activity, so it's essential to get the yacht, skippering, yacht security and crew decisions right.

Save time with an online directory
Even the longest distance charter voyage can begin with a web search in the comfort of your living room. Easiest of all is to use a reputable luxury yachting directory to help shortlist suitable businesses offering yacht charter.

Bahamas Yacht Charters - Imagining Taking Your Own Boat To The Bahamas by Peter Leigh

When you decide on Bahamas Yacht Charters you have over 500 miles of tropical waters to explore. The Bahamas is an archipelago that contains over 700 islands, so unless you have loads of cash you won't get to see them all in one charter vacation. Choose from crewed yacht charters or a bareboat charter, but whichever one you choose, you can decide where you want to go. Bahamas Yacht Charters can help you plan your vacation so that it fulfills your every need.
The difference in crewed yacht charters and bareboat charters is in the amenities that the yacht offers. You don't have to know how to sail the yacht if you want the cheaper bareboat, but you do have to supply your own food and supplies. In addition, you have to bring along your own lounge chairs and watersports equipment or choose to rent them from Bahamas Yacht Charters. With crewed yacht charters, you don't have to do any work aboard the yacht and everything is supplied for you. If you have lots of money to spend, you can choose one of the luxury yacht charters. Bahamas lends itself to dreaming of luxury, so for that once in a lifetime vacation, why not splurge?
As a rule, Bahamas Yacht Charters begin with a chart briefing at 9 A.M. Then you can sail at 10 and you have to have the yacht back by 10 at the end of the charter period. If you would prefer to have an afternoon sailing time, you have to request this when you book your yacht charters. The Bahamas is suitable for any time sailing and with the short distance from Florida to the Bahamas, it doesn't make any difference what time you leave. You do have to be careful of the weather if you book the yacht charter during hurricane season.
You can also begin and end the charter in the Bahamas. Fly into Abaco and take the yacht from there. For yacht charters, Bahamas tax rates are 4% of the total cost of the charter and you have to pay a daily insurance rate for the yacht. This depends on the size of yacht you charter. For example, the premium for yachts 41 feet and under is $33 per day and for those over 41 feet, the premium is $38 per day. The deductible with the yacht charter insurance is $400, which you must pay yourself if you cause any damage. Bahamas Yacht Charters supplies you with a full tank of fuel when you have a bareboat charter, but you must return the yacht with the tank full.
Sailing yachts from Bahamas Yacht Charters are much more expensive. A typical yacht charter will cost about $13,000, which does not include meals, docking, drinks and fees. During the summer, the yacht charters are based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and during the winter they are based in the Bahamas. If a group of people decide to get together and book a charter from Bahamas Yacht Charters, they can split the cost between them, which will significantly reduce the price per couple.

Crewed Yacht Charter Vacations by Rumble Romagnoli

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow lines, sail away from safe harbor. Explore, Dream, Discover".
Mark Twain

It can be summarized with just one word - Luxury. Experience elegance, style and an exceptional taste of freedom cruising any of the exotic locations onboard a chartered luxury yacht.
There are other alternatives such as cruise ships and resorts. Although each of these are wonderful vacations, they cannot compare to the flexibility of your own personal luxury yacht charter. Luxury crewed yacht charters will cost you no more than an exclusive hotel or even a cruise. In contrast to a cruise or hotel, you will have ultimate freedom and total control over your vacation. Where would you like to go? You can set your own itinerary with the guidance of your captain and luxury yacht crew. Maybe you would like to stop by and visit a pretty little island along your path, if so, just let your yacht crew know and they will adjust course to suit you.
You and your guests can relax and enjoy the vistas unfolding, whilst an attentive and professional charter yacht crew dotes on you. There's no need for cooking or cleaning, as your personal chef prepares exquisite cuisine cooked to perfection. Your yacht crew will in most cases be multilingual, and can therefore be of assistance at any of the ports of call.
