CHARTER SECTION
Chartering a yacht, either for the first time
or when you’re experienced can be quite exciting.
To make sure you make the right decision
we have written down a guide that can
help with the choosing.
1. First of all you decide how many guests
you are bringing, is it just you and your
family or do you want to go as a group?
Make sure the yacht has enough cabins
and berths for everyone.
2. Then you choose between a motor or a
sailing yacht. As a motor yacht is the
ultimate luxury for you and your family
or friends, when you want to see and
be seen or when you just want to relax
and be pampered. While a sailing
yacht is the ultimate choice for a real
boat lover who wants the full experience.
3. With this out of the way you decide
what your budget is going to be. Please
keep in mind that the chartering fee is
not the full amount on your bill. You
Charterers guide
will also pay for an Advanced Provisioning
Allowance. This is an allowance so
all the extra costs like fuel, food and
drinks can be paid. This A.P.A. is around
30% of the charter fee.
4. After this difficult choice there’s another
big one to make; the cruising
area. Where do you want to go? On our
site we offer a selection of travel
routes, which can make the choosing
easier. But if you wish to compose your
own itinerary then we will be happy to
assist you.
5. And last but not least is when are you
going and for how long?
And then it is time to sit back, relax and let
us do the work. We shall prepare all paperwork
and will send you a contract to read
and sign. Then all we want is you telling us
what type of food and drinks you would like
on board before it’s off to take the trip of a
lifetime.
