Where to Look for the Crewed Charter Yachts

Where to Look for the 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.

Be Selective

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.?

Do Your Research

Do an online investigation. You don’t want any surprises after you have set sail and are in a remote location. Most of the charters will have a website with beautiful photos, captain and crew backgrounds, maybe even some feedback from people who have traveled aboard their charter. Ask questions such as what type of security do they provide, what would happen in the event of a medical emergency?

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.

Relax, Let the Captain Do the Driving

Ideally you have taking care of all the details months in advance. All you have to do now is count the dolphin swimming along side your private yacht while sampling delicious breakfast fare set out on the lido deck by the quietly attentive crew. Later you will enjoy an afternoon of scuba diving near the shores of a remote island. After your gourmet dinner you can soak in the upper deck’s jacuzzi while watching one of the many tropical sunsets you will experience each evening.

The yacht will include all the comforts of home but just a bit more luxurious. Just like in a hotel, your bed will be made and towels laundered so that everything is fresh when enter your cabin each evening. The crew is only visible when you need them. You set the time schedule for the meals to be prepared. Cocktails will be served as you sit on a lounge chair enjoying the sun and tropical breezes.

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