How much does a luxury yacht charter cost?
It depends on four factors: the type and size of the boat, the period (high, mid or low season), the length of the charter and the services on board. Every charter is tailor-made, which is why we do not publish price lists but send a proposal with the price and what is included. The first conversation is always free of obligation.
Do I need a boating licence?
No. All our charters come with a professional crew: a captain or skipper and, on larger boats, deckhands, stewardesses and a chef. You come aboard as guests, with no technical skills required.
What is the difference between a motor yacht and a superyacht?
Generally, “superyacht” refers to boats over about thirty metres. Compared with a motor yacht they have more decks and more space, a larger crew and hotel-style amenities such as a beach club, pool or wellness area, depending on the yacht.
Catamaran or sailing yacht?
A catamaran offers more space, separate cabins and great stability at anchor: it is the favourite choice of families with children and groups. A sailing monohull gives a more authentic, sporty experience, ideal for couples and enthusiasts. We cover this in our guide catamaran, sailing yacht or motor yacht.
Which are the best destinations?
In Italy the most requested routes are the Emerald Coast and the La Maddalena Archipelago, the Aeolian Islands, the Amalfi Coast with Capri, Liguria and the Tuscan Archipelago. You will find all 37 routes, with the map, on the Destinations page.
Can I organise an event on board?
Yes: private dinners, aperitifs at anchor, birthdays, anniversaries and corporate events. We coordinate set-up, music, photographer, flowers and menus, with extra stewardesses and waiters if needed.
Can I charter a boat for just one day?
Yes, with day boats, for a full or half day. For cruises with overnight stays, the most popular options range from a few days to one or more weeks.
How does booking work?
Once you accept the proposal, the charter is confirmed with a deposit, usually 50%, and the signing of a MYBA contract or equivalent. The balance is normally paid 30 days before embarkation. The main clauses are explained in the MYBA charter contract.
