Are you tired of the same old vacation routine?
Are you tired of feeling that you need something more from your vacations?
Then, discover why chartering a yacht may be your ticket to a really different experience, usually refreshed and rejuvenated at the end of the holiday.
Benefits of chartering a yacht
In a 2022 study done by the American Yacht Charter Association, which interviewed over 1,000 yacht charterers, an unbelievable 95% responded with complete satisfaction.
Other results showed that customer satisfaction was highly influenced by the quality of the yacht itself and by the service of the crew and the experience in general.
Bespoke experience
Perhaps the single biggest plus to chartering a yacht is being able to create your own personal itinerary with the help and recommendation (local restaurants, points of interest, must-see…) an experienced charter broker who would know the area.
The hottest destinations to take a yacht charter are of course the Mediterranean (South of France, Corsica, and Sardinia…), the Caribbean, and the South Pacific. All these destinations have location-specific attractions and activities depending on the time of year, catering to a wide variety of travelers and interests.
Comfort and true luxury
Another advantage of chartering a yacht is the scale of luxury it offers. Yachts – and most superyachts – are fitted out with absolutely everything you may want for a comfortable, and exclusive vacation. Be it masseuses, or the latest water toy, or a private chefs to prepare your favorite food-all are possible in a yacht charter.
Privacy and relaxation
Yacht chartering offers utmost privacy and relaxation. You will not get crowded situations like in the rest of the vacation, and neither you have to wait in the queue for a long period. Your discret and professional crew will ensure utmost privacy.
It is going to be just you and your people on the whole yacht, which will provide you with an opportunity to get aside from all hustle bustle and enjoy the peace of the sea.
Our advice: before you book a week's charter, do a day charter...
Why not charter a yacht for a day?
There are plenty of reasons you may want to rent a yacht for a day to begin your yacht charter experience.
Here are a few:
- It’s a great way to test the waters. Not entirely convinced that yacht chartering is something for you?
Then you definitely need to rent a yacht for a day or two; you’ll see whether you love being on the water, and you get a great idea of what it’s like to charter a yacht! - It’s affordable, anyway.
Yacht charters are, in fact, quite expensive, but a daytime rental can be fairly reasonably priced. This has many advantages: mainly, you find out whether you like yacht charter before you really commit to a longer charter. In this case, renting a yacht for a day or a couple of days lets you learn from the professionals about everything that has something to do with yacht chartering. You get to know about different types of yachts, various charter options, and also about various destinations. - Make memories. A day spent on a yacht with your guests is going to be one such great way of making memories with your family and friends as you unwind, get soaked in the sun, and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
