Your First Yacht Charter — Read This First
A clear, simple breakdown so your first charter feels confident and not experimental.
Chartering a yacht for the first time can feel daunting, but it is simpler — and more rewarding — than it seems. Every charter is built around freedom: you choose the route, the menu, the rhythm.
Choosing your yacht
For newcomers, a 20–30m motor yacht is ideal. It provides the comfort of a boutique hotel and the intimacy of a private villa. Each cabin is a suite, and the crew anticipates your needs before you ask.
Understanding the process
You will discuss your preferences with a charter manager — destinations, dietary notes, daily routines. The captain will then tailor the route, from hidden bays to lively marinas.
Costs explained
Beyond the charter fee, expect fuel, provisioning, and tips. The APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) covers all onboard expenses, always transparent and refundable if unused.
