CONTACT A PROFESSIONAL Any reputable charter broker has the skills and experience to help
you select the perfect yacht and destination to suit your needs and desires, and
will handle the charter contract.
LENGTH OF CHARTER
Base charter rates quoted here are for the use of the yacht for one week.
DATES OF CHARTER
Plan ahead and have several dates in mind. Holidays and special events are in
high demand and are often booked more than a season in advance.
NUMBER IN YOUR PARTY This is key for selecting a yacht. Be sure to let your broker know if you
have a nanny or other personal staff. The maximum number of charter guests
allowed by law is 12.
NUMBER OF SEPARATE CABINS REQUIRED Most yacht staterooms have ensuite heads to
ensure privacy.
DESTINATIONS The
number of ports you can visit may be affected by the yacht’s speed. Whether or
not you can enter certain ports also may be dictated by the size of the yacht or
its flag.
TYPE OF YACHT Sail or motor? Classic or contemporary?
COMMUNICATIONS Will you need Internet access and SatCom communications to stay in touch
with those ashore? Do you plan to hold a business meeting while on board? Do you
or your children have entertainment preferences, such as video games? Many
yachts have extensive video and music libraries but will stock favorites if
requested in advance.
ACTIVITIES
Snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, kayaking or water-skiing—
different
yachts specialize in different pastimes.
