A yacht charter offers the ultimate freedom to explore coastlines, islands, and hidden coves at your own pace. Whether you’re an experienced sailor looking for a bareboat adventure or seeking a crewed luxury experience, chartering a yacht provides an unforgettable way to travel. Catamarans are the most popular choice, offering exceptional stability and spacious decks. Monohulls provide the classic sailing experience with better upwind performance. Crewed yachts take the experience to another level with a professional captain and chef. In the Mediterranean, expect €1,000–€3,000 per week for a standard 40-foot catamaran during shoulder season. Beyond the base charter fee, budget for marina fees, fuel, provisioning, and optional extras.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to charter a yacht?
Yacht charter prices vary by destination, boat type, and season. Expect €800–€6,000 per week for bareboat charters. Crewed luxury yachts start from €5,000 per week and can exceed €100,000 for superyachts.
Do I need a sailing license?
For bareboat charters, most destinations require proof of sailing competency (ICC, RYA, ASA, or equivalent). Crewed charters have no license requirements as the captain handles all navigation.
What’s included in a yacht charter?
Typically includes the yacht, basic equipment, dinghy, and safety gear. Extras like fuel, marina fees, provisions, crew gratuities, and insurance are usually additional.
What’s the difference between bareboat and crewed?
Bareboat means you captain the yacht yourself (license required). Crewed charters include a professional captain and often a chef, providing a luxury experience without sailing expertise.
When is the best time to charter a yacht?
Mediterranean: May–October. Caribbean: November–April. Thailand: November–April. Shoulder seasons (May–June, September) offer better prices and fewer crowds.
What about security deposits?
Security deposits range from €1,500–€5,000 depending on yacht size. Deposit insurance (CDW/SDW) is available for €150–€300, reducing or eliminating the deposit.
Can I charter with children?
Absolutely! Catamarans are especially family-friendly with their stability and space. Netting between hulls keeps children safe. Many charter companies provide child-sized life jackets.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancellation policies vary by charter company. Most require full payment 4–8 weeks before departure. Trip cancellation insurance is highly recommended to protect your investment.
