Searching for the Best Crewed Charter Yachts

By: Mary Swanson

If you have ever dreamed of taking a vacation aboard a crewed charter yacht but thought it was out of reach, think again. If you do some careful online research you may be able to find a yacht that is affordable but still as luxurious as you had imagined. Charter yachts are available in a variety of locations, some may not be far from your home.

Count the Costs

When comparing prices be selective in your final decision. Make sure the yacht will meet all your needs at the listed price. Are there additional fees that they have not made you aware of? Ask the yacht company to give you a detailed list of exactly what their charter includes. Are the wine and beverages included, docking fees, fuel, recreational activities, etc.?

Investigate the Charter

There are tons of websites for crewed charter yachts. Most will have beautiful photos of their yachts and locations to travel to and they should also have feedback from former passengers. I am sure they like to publish only the positive remarks but I have seen a few negative during my searches. Also, talk to friends who have recently sailed aboard a private yacht and ask them what to look for and what questions you should ask.

Some other questions to consider: Where would you like to cruise? How long do you wish to cruise? How many guests? Will there only be adults or will children be aboard also? What type of recreational activities do you want to partake in? Do you or any of your guests have special dietary or physical needs? You want to choose the ideal yacht and crew to make exploring distant islands and tropical locations enjoyable and relaxing.

Enjoy Your Cruising Experience

Now that we have covered the necessary technical information here is what to expect onboard one of these crewed charter yachts. A typical day of cruising will include exploring private inlets and bays, swimming, fishing and snorkeling or maybe some waterskiing or racing with your friends on a jet ski. You may decide you just want to relax on a private beach improving your suntan. For a cultural experience there is always shopping in a quaint island village or collecting pieces of art from various ports of call.

After a day of water activities you may wish to relax in the salon with a refreshing cocktail and freshly prepared appetizers and watch TV or view a movie. For the evening meal you will be treated to a dinner that may include an international cuisine or perhaps, freshly caught fish by yours truly, prepared by a professionally trained chef. You may want to dine on the lido deck watching beautiful sunsets. You may choose to have your meal served in an elegantly decorated dining room of your beautiful charter yacht.

Taking a trip aboard a crewed charter yacht will make any other vacation seem boring.
