Chartering A Private Yacht For A Luxurious Vacation

By Ben Harrison


If it's holiday planning time and you feel out of options, a possibility is chartering a private yacht. Unlike the typical crowd-filled, itinerary-controlled vacation, this is an unusual experience. Its level of luxury is superior to most.

You might be on the look out for the ideal honeymoon. In this case, privacy may be your first priority and it's possible on a boat. Your company will offer you the choice of how many staff you want aboard, from captain to chef to butler. Perhaps you're a sailor yourself, in which case you don't need any staff at all.

If you can captain your own vessel, you can opt for no staff. Otherwise you may prefer to request a skipper. You could even add to your adventure by taking sailing lessons in time for your trip. In this case, your options for destination will be limited by your beginner status and you'll have to choose an ocean with low swells.

Some companies offer nearly a hundred destinations. Anything from island locations like the Mediterranean to New Zealand greenery, it's all available. Those after a cultural experience may prefer Singapore or India.

Every company has its own combination of possible destination so you might prefer selecting your location before you choose your company. Alternatively, if luxury is your priority, you'll make your company choice first. In that case you'll select a company that offers 5 star service and choose a destination from their options.

In this case, questions to ask are around cabin size, en suite bathrooms and spacious entertainment areas. Activities aboard are ample, from fishing to snorkeling. Party people will prefer sailing between beach clubs and bars.

The advantage of this kind of adventure is that you have control over what you do and where you go. In many cases it costs as much as a cruise ship vacation. No wonder all the celebrities are doing it.

An alternative is to buy a yacht within a chartering company. They will grant you a limited number of weeks annually to use your boat. The rest of the year they'll rent it out, give you the income and pay many of your expenses such as insurance and dockage.

It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned sailor or not, chartering a private yacht is an experience that's open to you. Even if you've never been on a boat in your life, it's an available option. It provides an opportunity for a memorable adventure.
