What is a private yacht charter?

A Private Yacht Charter is a yacht rental for a private vacation or trip. Private yacht charters are a popular way to explore new destinations, enjoy the open water, and relax in luxury. When you book a private yacht charter, you have the entire yacht to yourself and can tailor your trip to your specific preferences and needs. These trips can be either bareboat (meaning you are responsible for operating the yacht yourself) or crewed (meaning a professional crew is provided to operate the yacht and attend to your needs). Private yacht charters can range from small sailboats to large luxury yachts and can be rented for a few hours, a day, or longer.

Private yacht charters can also include a range of amenities and services, such as comfortable accommodations, meals, recreational equipment, and onboard entertainment. The amenities and services will depend on the yacht and the charter company.

In summary. Private Yacht Charters can be a unique and memorable way to experience a new destination, but they can also be expensive; once you have considered the charter cost, crew hire, running costs, including diesel refuelling and marina/docking fees, any provisioning you buy to bring onboard.

What is a luxury crewed charter?

A Luxury Crewed Yacht Charter is a high-end, professionally crewed yacht rental for a private vacation or trip. Luxury crewed yacht charters are a luxurious way to explore new destinations, enjoy the open water, and relax in style. When you book a luxury crewed yacht charter, you have the entire yacht to yourself and can tailor your trip to your specific preferences and needs.

Luxury crewed yacht charters typically include a professional crew to operate the yacht and attend to your needs, such as a captain, a chef, and on the larger yachts, even a first mate, stewardess and deckhand. The crew will handle all aspects of operating the yacht, allowing you to relax and enjoy your trip.

These trips may include a range of amenities and services, such as comfortable accommodations, gourmet meals, recreational equipment, and onboard entertainment. The amenities and services will depend on the yacht and the charter company.

In summary, luxury crewed yacht charters can be a luxurious and memorable way to experience a new destination, but they can also be very expensive, so it's important to carefully consider your budget and the costs before booking a charter.

What is a by-the-cabin charter?

A By-The-Cabin Yacht Charter, also known as a cabin charter or a shared yacht charter, is a type of yacht rental where you can book a cabin or stateroom on a yacht already chartered by someone else. With a by-the-cabin yacht charter, you share the yacht with other passengers and have access to the common areas of the yacht, such as the dining room, lounge, and deck.

By-the-cabin yacht charters can be more affordable than booking a private yacht charter, as you only pay for your own cabin rather than the entire yacht. They can also be a good option for solo travellers or small groups who want to experience a yacht vacation but don't want to pay for an entire yacht.

These yacht charters may be crewed (meaning a professional crew is provided to operate the yacht and attend to your needs) or bareboat (meaning you are responsible for operating the yacht yourself). The amenities and services will depend on the yacht and the charter company.

It's always a good idea to carefully review the terms and conditions of a by-the-cabin yacht charter before booking to understand what is included and what is not.

What is a day charter?

A Day Yacht Charter is a yacht rental for a single day. Day yacht charters are a popular way to enjoy the open water and experience a yacht vacation without committing to a longer charter.

Day yacht charters may be either bareboat (meaning you are responsible for operating the yacht yourself) or crewed (meaning a professional crew is provided to operate the yacht and attend to your needs). The amenities and services included will depend on the yacht and the charter company.

Day yacht charters can be a fun and memorable way to spend a day on the water, and they can be a good option for those who want to try out yachting without committing to a longer charter. Day yacht charters can be a more affordable option than longer charters, but it's always a good idea to carefully review the terms and conditions of a day yacht charter before booking to understand what is included and what is not.

Special Occasions

A yacht charter can be a unique and memorable way to celebrate a Special Occasion, and here are just some examples;

  • Birthdays

  • Anniversaries

  • Weddings

  • Honeymoons

  • Graduations

  • Retirements

  • Corporate events

A yacht charter can provide a luxurious and private setting for your special occasion, with amenities and services such as gourmet meals, comfortable accommodations, and onboard entertainment. You can tailor your yacht charter to your specific needs and preferences and choose a meaningful or special destination.

It's always a good idea to discuss your plans and needs with the Pristine Yachting and determine your group’s requirements and preferences to ensure that they can accommodate your special occasion and help you create a memorable experience.

Affordable Yacht Charters

Affordable Sailing and yacht charters should be for everyone, and whilst there is a common assertion that yacht charters are expensive, that’s not true anymore. The first thing you should do is discuss your interest with Pristine Yachting, who can guide and assist you in finding accessible yacht charters that are low-cost and affordable.

There are a few ways you can consider to make a yacht charter more affordable:

  1. Rent a smaller yacht: Larger yachts are more expensive than smaller ones. Consider renting a smaller yacht to save on costs.

  2. Choose your location carefully: Yacht rental prices can vary significantly depending on the location. Consider going to a location where yacht rentals are less expensive.

  3. Go during the off-season: Yacht rental prices tend to be lower during the off-season. Consider going on a yacht charter during the shoulder season or off-season to get a better deal.

  4. Look for discounts or specials: Many yacht charter companies offer discounts or specials at certain times of the year. Keep an eye out for these to try and get a better deal.

  5. Split the cost with a group: Yacht rentals can be expensive, but if you split the cost with a group of friends or family, it can be more affordable.

  6. Consider bareboat rentals: A bareboat rental means you are responsible for operating the yacht rather than hiring a crew. This can be a more affordable option, but having the necessary boating skills and experience is important.

  7. Explore cabin charters: A cabin charter is where you book a private double cabin on a shared yacht with other like-minded travellers, and there are options with and without a professional yacht crew. It’s the perfect way to experience a beautiful yacht charter for a fraction of the cost of booking a whole yacht for yourselves.
