Thinking about booking a yacht vacation, but don’t know where to start?
Today, I’m walking you through exactly how to book a yacht charter and what I need from you to get the ball rolling.
Yacht charters are the most personalized luxury vacation you can take. But to find the perfect boat for your group, I need just a few key details.
1️⃣ Number of guests
Are you a couple on a romantic escape, a group of 10 celebrating something big or are you a large group that needs accommodations for more than 12 guests. Yachts have guest limits, so we need your headcount up front to determine what boats will work for your group
2️⃣ Destination
Are you dreaming of island-hopping in Greece? Snorkeling in the Bahamas? Sailing the Amalfi Coast? If you’re not sure, I’m always happy to chime in to figure out the perfect destination for your vibe and the perfect spot.
3️⃣ Next is Budget
This is a big one. Charters range from $20,000 to over $1 million per week, depending on the yacht, location, and season. Sharing your budget ensures I’m only sending options that align with what you have in mind for the trip.
4️⃣ Style of boat
Do you love the sleek luxury of a motor yacht, the space and stability of a catamaran, or the adventure of a sailing yacht? Each style offers a totally unique experience, so if you have an opinion, share it!
5️⃣ Dates of travel or time of year
This matters a lot. Yacht prices change by season—low, mid, and high—and rates can vary by $30,000 or more for the same boat, so knowing your dates lets me find the best value and availability.
If you like a great deal or fewer crowds, we can plan around shoulder seasons, without sacrificing sunshine.
Once I have these 5 pieces of info, I’ll send a handpicked list of yachts that fit your vision. You’ll get photos, sample itineraries, videos, crew bios, and my expert insights to help you choose.
Yacht charters are more than a vacation—they’re an experience. So let’s make it effortless, fun, and unforgettable.
