  1. What you can expect on a private yacht charter

    A private yacht charter typically starts with a booking confirmation (dates, guest count, itinerary, and vessel details). Before departure, you’ll usually receive a brief safety orientation, including where life jackets are stored, emergency procedures, and any rules for boarding, swimming, or tender transfers. Many charters include a captain and crew; depending on the package, you may also have a host/chef or additional staff. Onboard, expect a comfortable schedule built around your preferences—departing from a marina, cruising to scenic spots, and planning stops for swimming, snorkeling, or dining. Meals and beverages are often included or available as add-ons; dietary requests are commonly accommodated if shared in advance. You’ll also receive guidance on timing (e.g., weather windows, sunset plans) and what to bring (sun protection, swimwear, light layers, and any personal items).

  2. Costs, inclusions, and common logistics

    Pricing varies widely based on yacht size, duration, location, and season. Many quotes separate the base charter fee from extras such as fuel, marina/tender fees, food and drinks, gratuities, and port charges. Ask what’s included: crew, linens/towels, water toys, Wi‑Fi, and whether a captain’s discretion affects the route. Logistics usually include check-in at the marina, a boarding time window, and a clear plan for disembarkation. If you’re celebrating, you may be able to arrange decorations or a special cake—confirm what the yacht allows and any local regulations.

  3. Questions to ask before you book

    To avoid surprises, confirm the cancellation policy, weather handling, and whether the itinerary is fixed or flexible. Clarify guest limits, accessibility needs, and any restrictions on bringing alcohol or outside food. Also ask about safety equipment, crew experience, and how swimming stops are managed (e.g., tender use, supervision, and sea conditions).
