What people are saying

“Canvas Yacht Charters and Doug are a pleasure to work with. Doug’s follow-up skills are remarkable and attention to detail are bar none. I very rarely leave reviews, but I can, without a doubt, recommend Canvas and Doug to everyone I know. Thanks again D!”

“We recently celebrated our 25th anniversary with three other couples, our dearest friends, on a week-long sailing charter. The trip was arranged by Doug Tibbs at Canvas Yacht Charters, and his assistance was invaluable every step of the way. He listened to our dreams for the trip, the things we were really hoping for and things we wanted to avoid, non-negotiates and crazy ideas, and he filtered them all to present us with several charter options, any one of which would have been wonderful, but we ended up on Ghost. Doug’s attention didn’t stop with the booking. He made sure we were kept aware of various important deadlines, including changes related to covid, connected us with the crew and conveyed to them all our preferences, and was available throughout to answer our big and small questions. This was truly the trip of a lifetime for every one of us onboard—the boat, the crew, the sailing, the food, the adventure. So many thanks to Doug for his care to make it everything we dreamed it could be—and we are already hoping to plan a repeat trip for next year!”

“It’s not often that I end up leaving a review for a service I didn’t end up booking, but the super customer service I received from Heather at Starrluxe definitely merits noting. From the first step in the process, she was helpful, professional, and extremely accommodating despite a difficult itinerary and an expedited time frame. She provided excellent options and went out of her way to address our every requirement. I deeply regret that our travel plans changed and we weren’t able to finalize our charter, but I greatly look forward to working with Starrluxe again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Enjoyed working with Doug. He was attentive to our needs/desires. Got us a great boat with a great crew. He even got us a price reduction. I will look forward to working with him again.”

“Doug and his team helped us book a trip in two days for the following week. Great communications and expectation setting, which helped make the trip successful. We will recommend them to family and friends for their trips. -Cheers, John”

It's the epitome of sailing luxury, ensuring your journey is effortless, indulgent, and unforgettable. Aboard a crewed yacht charter, you'll be treated to a level of service that is second to none.

Best Yachts for Crewed Charters

Crewed charter: an all-inclusive experience.

The most convenient aspect of having a crewed yacht is that everything necessary for your voyage will likely be taken care of by someone else. With a crewed yacht, you get full crew service on board, and there is no hassle of preparing the boat or its supplies from your end. Imagine embarking on a vacation where every desire is met with effortless precision, and luxury knows no bounds. Crewed yacht charters offer precisely this, elevating your holiday to the pinnacle of opulence. Whether you're considering a lavish sailing escape or simply seeking a truly personalized journey, crewed charters on private yachts are the way to go. This experience is more intimate and exclusive than traditional cruises, delivering the epitome of luxury. Allow us to guide you through the world of crewed yacht charters, where you rent an entire yacht, complete with its dedicated captain, chef, deckhand, and hostess, ensuring your voyage is seamless and memorable.

Crewed yacht charters provide a host of benefits that set them apart:

Personalized Service: With a crew at your disposal, every aspect of your journey is catered to your preferences.

Gourmet Dining: The chef crafts exquisite meals tailored to your taste, takes care of provisioning, and ensures you savor delightful cuisine.

Effortless Voyage: Deckhands assist with yacht operations and maintenance, while hostesses maintain a welcoming atmosphere and keep the yacht's interior impeccable.

What is included in the crewed yacht charter?

A crewed charter yacht includes a full team of experts to cater to your every need. This dedicated crew typically consists of a captain, engineer, chef, deckhand, and hostess. The crew size may vary depending on the size of the yacht, ranging from a small team of two or three to a well-rounded crew of six or more professionals. You are not expected to tell the crew what to do; they are experienced professionals who handle all aspects of the charter. However, they are there to cater to your preferences and will gladly accommodate any special requests you may have to ensure your voyage is truly exceptional. Simply communicate your desires, and the crew will do their best to exceed your expectations.

With a crewed yacht charter, all food and beverages throughout your vacation will be covered in your Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). To ensure a smooth charter, an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is collected before your journey. This fund covers expenses such as fuel, food, mooring fees, and incidentals. The captain and crew transparently manage the APA, providing a detailed breakdown at the end of your voyage.

What to expect: responsibilities of each crew member.

Here's a breakdown of the responsibilities of each crew member:

Captain: The captain plays a pivotal role in guaranteeing the safety and comfort of both guests and crew. Not only does the captain navigate and steer the vessel with expertise, but they also possess in-depth knowledge of maintenance and repair needs. They do not typically engage in cleaning but focus on the vessel's operation and safety.

Chef: The onboard chef is responsible for crafting exquisite meals tailored to your preferences and dietary requirements. They handle provisioning by shopping for the necessary ingredients, serve meals, and take care of dishwashing. Their culinary expertise ensures that you savor delightful cuisine throughout your journey.

Deckhand: The deckhand assists with various tasks related to the operation of the yacht. This includes handling ropes, anchors, and other deck equipment, as well as helping with mooring and navigating. They may also assist with cleaning and maintenance duties to keep the exterior of the yacht in top condition.

Hostess: The hostess is responsible for ensuring the comfort and well-being of guests. They assist with serving meals and drinks, maintain the interior of the yacht, and create a welcoming atmosphere. Hostesses often take care of housekeeping duties, ensuring that cabins and communal spaces are clean and tidy.

How to hire a crew for a yacht?

One of the fantastic aspects of crewed yacht charters is that you don't need to worry about hiring a crew separately. When you book a crewed charter with us, the crew is already included. This means that from the moment you step on board, you'll have a dedicated team of professionals ready to ensure your journey is safe, comfortable, and utterly enjoyable. Your crew will consist of experienced individuals, including a captain, chef, deckhand, and hostess, all of whom are there to cater to your needs. Booking your crewed yacht charter with YACHTICO is simple. You can make a reservation online, and we'll take care of the rest. We'll arrange everything to ensure your charter is seamless and stress-free. From provisioning the yacht with all the necessities to planning your itinerary and making sure every detail is in place, we're committed to providing you with a hassle-free experience.

Bareboat Charters with Optional Crew: If you ever decide to venture into bareboat charters, where you take the helm yourself, we can also arrange for crew hire according to your preferences. But for your first yachting adventure, a crewed charter is an excellent choice to fully enjoy the luxury and relaxation of the experience.

Tipping Etiquette and Crew Expectations: Tipping the crew is customary in the yachting industry and is a way to show appreciation for their exceptional service. The standard tip is usually around 10-20% of the total charter fee and is divided among the crew members. However, the exact amount can vary based on your satisfaction with the service and the charter agreement.

How much is it to rent a yacht with a crew?

The cost of chartering a crewed yacht can vary significantly based on several factors which include the size and type of yacht you choose, your desired destination, the duration of your charter, the time of year you plan to sail and the age and condition of the yacht. Larger yachts with more amenities and crew members tend to command higher rates. The location of your charter can also impact the cost, with popular destinations often having higher demand and prices. Charter rates can vary by season, with peak season generally being more expensive. Smaller sailing yachts and catamarans may start at around $8,000 per week , providing an excellent option for those seeking a more budget-friendly experience. On the other hand, for the utmost in luxury and extravagance, the most opulent motor superyachts can cost $60,000 or more per week. These vessels offer an unmatched level of comfort and amenities that cater to the most discerning travelers. Crewed yacht charters typically offer an all-inclusive experience, covering crew salaries, provisions, mooring fees, and more. This means you can relax and enjoy your journey without worrying about additional expenses.

On YACHTICO all prices and availabilities are conveniently available online, allowing you to plan and book your crewed yacht charter with ease.

Best Places to Crewed Charter

Crewed yacht charters can take you to some of the world's most breathtaking destinations. The most popular destination for crewed yacht vacation is the Caribbean. The miles of stunning coastlines, diversity of countries, cultures, and experiences make The Mediterranean Sea a perfect place to explore on a crewed yacht vacation as well. This area offers a bit of everything - from cosmopolitan cities to exotic islands - all within relatively close proximity to each other.

1. BVI (British Virgin Islands)

If you're seeking an exceptional experience, crewed charter yacht vacations in the British Virgin Islands are the perfect choice. The BVI is celebrated as a premier sailing destination, and there are numerous reasons why. Its tranquil waters, dependable trade winds, and abundant anchorages make it a true haven for sailors. When you opt for a crewed charter in the BVI, you unlock a world of benefits that elevate your experience. With a crewed charter in the BVI, you entrust the navigation, anchoring, and all technical aspects to the capable hands of your experienced crew. This allows you to relax and immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery. One of the BVI's standout attractions is The Baths on Virgin Gorda. This geological wonder showcases massive granite boulders that create enchanting sea pools, grottos, and tunnels, providing endless opportunities for exploration. It's a must-visit for adventurers and nature enthusiasts.

But perhaps one of the most delightful aspects of a crewed charter in the BVI is the culinary journey it offers. Indulge in the flavors of the islands, where fresh seafood and local ingredients tantalize your taste buds.

So, when you embark on a crewed charter in the BVI, you're not just exploring a sailing paradise; you're embarking on a tailor-made, all-inclusive adventure where every moment is designed for your comfort and enjoyment.

What sets a crewed charter in Greece apart is the unparalleled historical depth combined with luxury and personalized service. When you set sail in the Greek Islands, you're stepping into the footsteps of some of the world's most important ancient civilizations. From the Minoans on Crete to the ancient Greeks and the Byzantine Empire, these islands have witnessed the rise and fall of empires. Greek cuisine, known for its diversity and reliance on fresh, local ingredients, is a culinary journey in itself. While the BVI offers its own delectable fare, the Greek Islands' culinary scene is a feast for the senses. From the classic moussaka and souvlaki to the tantalizing fresh seafood mezes and irresistible baklava, every meal is a delightful exploration of flavors. Moreover, the Greek Islands offer a more diverse range of cultural experiences than almost any other destination. From the iconic architecture of Santorini to the ancient ruins of Delos and the medieval charm of Rhodes, these islands are a living testament to the passage of time. A crewed charter in Greece ensures that you not only explore but immerse yourself in this historical richness, making your journey an unforgettable adventure into the heart of history and culture.

The Bahamas is a tapestry of unique experiences, and your dedicated crew is your key to unlocking its best-kept secrets. Explore the historic streets of Nassau, where colonial architecture and bustling markets beckon. Don't forget to savor authentic Bahamian cuisine, with conch fritters and freshly caught seafood as must-tries. As your yacht glides toward the Exumas, you'll discover nature at its finest. This archipelago boasts some of the most pristine waters in the world. Picture-perfect beaches like Tropic of Cancer and the dazzling Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park await. Discover hidden anchorages like the iconic Hope Town Harbour, known for its candy-striped lighthouse. Dive into the vibrant underwater world at the Abaco National Park or indulge in world-class fishing. Chartering a crewed yacht in the Bahamas isn't just a vacation; it's a bespoke journey through paradise.

The British Virgin Islands include Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda, and more. There’s no better way to experience the waters and beaches of the BVI's than on a private Caribbean charter with a full crew to pamper you. Of all the islands in the Caribbean, the Virgins are furthest north. This makes them very convenient due to the proximity to San Juan and due to their direct flights from the United States. Catamaran sailing vacations and crewed sailing charters are very popular in the islands, and their protected waters make them a favorite spot for guests that are taking their first private Caribbean yacht charter. To learn more about them:

The U.S. Virgin Islands consist mainly of the three large islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John. With lovely bays, long beaches, lush nature preserves, fabulous diving spots, and excellent, onshore evening entertainment, many choose to vacation in the USVI’s. Caribbean charters often visit both the BVI’s and USVI’s during the same week, as they are close to one another and the waters are generally calmer than in other parts of the Caribbean. They in general are also home to the largest fleet of crewed, all-inclusive, luxury catamarans. To find out more about them:

The Leewards are situated in the middle of the Caribbean Island chain. The major airports are located on St. Maarten and Antigua. Due to the English, Dutch, and French influences everywhere you look, they exhibit the best example of cultural sophistication anywhere within the Caribbean. If you are looking to see where the rich and famous go on vacation, you will want to visit the island of St. Barts; for many this is a must stop for a Caribbean yacht charter. Many mega yachts are available for rental in St. Maarten, as it has become a popular mega yacht Caribbean base for the winter. To learn more about the Leewards:

The Grenadines are also called The Windward Islands. Oftentimes our guests will choose a sailing charter over a motor yacht when in the Grenadines, due to the more constant tropical breezes that occur. The islands are much less developed than the rest of the Caribbean, and the inhabitants live on their own time schedule, which enhances the feeling of getting away. The northern most island accessible by air is ST. Vincent, while the southern tip’s major airport is on Grenada. There are fewer Caribbean charter yachts based here; however, occasionally some charter yachts are happy to relocate in order to offer a vacation that happens a little off the beaten path. To find out more about the Grenadines:

What Type of Charter Yacht?

There are all types of Caribbean yacht charters available, including mega yachts, power yachts, catamarans, and sailboats. We have helped countless clients choose the right charter yacht, learning what features and amenities make a difference on caribbean charter yachts. Learn more about different types of Caribbean yachts.

Where Can You Go?

Typically you’ll choose between the Virgins, Leewards, and the Grenadines to charter your yacht. Beyond the region, it is your Caribbean to explore. It’s important for you to remember that there is no cruise ship itinerary to worry about! Your itinerary will be custom designed specifically for you, with you, and is flexible to changes during your charter. We have put together some samples for you to get an idea of what you might like to do while on vacation in the Caribbean. Interested in seeing a sample cruise itinerary ?

Caribbean Charters - When To Go.

One of the lovely things about the Caribbean is that the temperatures remain consistent throughout the year; however, there are some other weather considerations that you will want to factor in when making your caribbean yachting vacation plans. Read More....

Vacations here are most popular between November and July.

If you are thinking of a megayacht, you will want to keep in mind that many of these private yachts which are Caribbean based in winter leave in the late spring and early summer months. They will return again in early winter; however, this does limit their availability. To charter a mega yacht, you will want to make sure that you do so well in advance.

Motor, sail, or catamaran yachts, on the other hand, often have selections available year round. Holidays like Christmas, New Year’s, and Easter do need to be planned for as early as possible as these are very popular charter times.

The availability for Caribbean charters can also be affected by the weather in other climates, for instance, when the severity of the weather is bad in the United States or Europe, especially between January and February, the charters are often booked. This is due to many clients looking for a break from the cold.

How much does it cost to charter a yacht?

There are many things to consider and first time charterers can be left confused, that's why we've created a comprehensive guide to yacht charter prices (with a checklist).

The good news: It’s easy to grasp the basics of yacht charter pricing. And with one of our experts in your corner, we can help you more accurately estimate the cost of your next once-in-a-lifetime vacation.

The cost of a yacht charter is dependent on a number of factors, including the type of yacht, the charter destination, local taxes, and the base cost. (If the yacht has a celebrity owner, well that too, can add to the cost.)

Therefore, yacht charters have a wide range of base prices. That’s why charters can cost from $10,000 per week on smaller sailing yachts and catamarans, up to $150,000+ per week on the most luxurious motor superyachts.

What else can you expect to pay? This overview – a part of our planning resource, the Charter Advice Guide – offers an in-depth look at charter yacht costs.

Yacht Charter Price Structure: “All-Inclusive” vs “Plus Expenses”

In the world of yachting, two types of crewed yacht charters are available to you – “All-Inclusive” and “Plus Expenses” charter experiences. What do these terms mean exactly? Here’s a quick look:

• All-Inclusive Yacht Charters – Some charters (mainly catamaran and monohull charters in the Virgin Islands) offer all-inclusive rates. That means rates are based on the number of guests, and they include all food and drink, water sports, and fuel costs. Dockage and taxes, though, are usually charged separately.
• Plus Expenses Charters – Rates for larger motor yachts do not include running expenses, which must be paid separately. For these luxury charters, the base price is for the yacht only. Additional expenses, i.e. food, bar, fuel, dockage, port taxes, and other expenses, are charged separately. Most frequently, the running expenses are paid by an Advance Provisioning Allowance, or APA, which is typically 35% of the base price; this is an amount that’s paid prior to the charter.

Our chart below offers a quick overview of what’s included in both of these types of charters.

Average Yacht Charter Cost: Base Prices

What can you expect to pay for a catamaran, a sailing vessel, or motored yacht? Here’s a quick overview of the average cost to rent a yacht (not including extra expenses) for the most common types available:

Factors that Affect Yacht Charter Prices

Since charter yachts are privately owned, prices are set by the owner. This can explain, in part, the wide range of differences in price between boats of similar lengths. Yet, several other factors can significantly impact price, including:

• The Yacht – The year the boat was built, the builder, previous owners, and the boat’s selection of water toys can also increase the cost of a yacht. Boats can also develop a reputation, i.e. the largest or most luxurious, or having a famous builder or previous owner. Reputation can also affect pricing.
• Season – Prices typically increase in the high season – i.e. high summer in the Mediterranean or winter in the Caribbean – and decrease in low seasons.
• Destination – Your charter destination also plays a role in charter cost. For example, prices increase in areas without large charter fleets (i.e. the Galapagos), whereas Bahamas yacht charters,   BVI charters , or Mediterranean yacht charter are priced more competitively.

Additional Costs Considerations on Yacht Charter

In addition to the cost associated with running the yacht and provisioning, there are a number of other costs that must be considered. These are the most significant:

Advanced Provisioning Allowance

The APA on Plus Expenses charters equals roughly 35% of the yacht’s base price. This is a fee that’s collected prior to charter, and it’s similar to an expense account the captain can access during the charter. At the end of the charter, you will receive a detailed accounting of your APA account, plus any unused APA funds in cash.

In the case of overages, you may be required to replenish the APA account during the charter. This can be done with cash, although many choose to set up accounts with their charter brokers , which can be accessed if requested by the captain.

Taxes and Value Added Tax (VAT)

Most boats – whether all-inclusive or Plus Expenses – will not include local taxes or a Value Added Tax into their charter rate. The charterer will be responsible for paying those taxes. Taxes range significantly by destination; here’s a look at some of yachting’s most popular destinations:

• The Bahamas – Tax: 4% plus 10% VAT
• BVI – Tax: between $6 and $16 per person per day, depending on the flag of the boat
• Croatia – VAT: 13%
• Florida – Tax: 6% for Broward County, 7% for Miami-Dade County
• France – VAT: 20%, however, 10% can be applied when an itinerary includes International Waters
• Greece – VAT: 12%
• Italy – VAT: 22%, however 6.6% (over 24m) and 8.8% (under 24m) can be applied when an itinerary includes International Waters
• Montenegro – NO VAT
• New England – NO TAX
• Spain – VAT: 21%
• Turkey – NO VAT

Charterers can purchase cancellation and curtailment insurance – which is similar to traveler’s insurance. This insurance can help cover costs if a charterer must cancel or shorten the charter. Charter brokers can help you weigh insurance options, and often offer several different options.

Crew Gratuity

While crew gratuity is certainly not mandatory, it is recommended, particularly if you were truly impressed with your charter experience. In general, crew gratuity is roughly 15-20% of the base charter rate, which is handed to the captain at the conclusion of your charter.

Delivery Fees

While these fees do not apply on most charters, you may be asked to pay delivery costs if you are not chartering in the yacht’s normal cruising ground. In most cases, you will only be required to cover the fuel for the trip.

Additional Charter Cost FAQs

What are standard private charter yacht prices?

There are a number of factors that affect charter yacht pricing. However, on average, a week-long private yacht charter costs anywhere from $10,000 on luxurious sailing yachts and catamarans, and up to $150,000 for superyachts.

What affects charter yacht prices?

There are several things that influence how much your yacht charter will cost. The type of vessel, charter destination, length of trip, base cost, time of year, and local taxes all make a difference.

How much does it cost for a crewed vessel?

Charter yacht prices do increase when hiring a crew along with the boat. At Worldwide Boat, we offer two types of crewed charter experiences: all-inclusive and plus expenses. An all-inclusive charter yacht includes accommodation for all guests, food and drink, water sport activities, and fuel costs – dockage fees and taxes are charged separately. A plus expenses experience accounts for just the yacht’s base price. Things like food, drinks, fuel, dockages, taxes, and other expenses are charged separately and are usually estimated to be about 35% of the base price.

What’s included in all-inclusive boat charters?

At Worldwide Boat, your all-inclusive charter experience includes a diligent and friendly crew, water toys, food, drinks, fuel, water and electric services, and occasionally diving experiences.

What are some additional charter boat costs to consider?

After finding a base price you’re comfortable with and evaluating your package, you’ll also want to consider delivery fees, crew gratuity, insurance fees, taxes, and Advanced Provisioning Allowance rates. If you are responsible for these fees, your crew will handle the necessary transactions on your behalf.

What does it cost to rent a 100- foot yacht charter?

This depends on what type of vessel you’re looking at and how long you’ll need it for. The average weekly cost of a 100-foot sailing yacht is between $50,000-100,000. A weekly 80-foot catamaran charter runs around $40,000-100,000, and a week-long 100-foot motor yacht rental is anywhere between $50,000-80,000.

Does the price to rent a yacht change depending on what type of boat it is?

Yes. Worldwide Boat offers sailing yachts, catamarans, and motor yachts. All of these vessels have different capabilities, but there are other factors that determine the price beyond what type of boat you choose. The year the boat was built, owner, availability of water toys, onboard amenities, and the ship’s reputation can all change how much the ship is priced at.

When is the high season for yacht charters?

The price of a yacht fluctuates depending on the season. A Mediterranean yacht charter cost rises in the summer and drops in the winter, whereas Caribbean boat charter prices are high during the winter and lower in the summer months.

How does my destination affect charter yacht cost?

The more remote an area is, the more expensive it will be to charter a yacht there. That’s because prices go up in areas that have fewer boats. If you were to travel somewhere like the Galapagos, which isn’t a typical yacht destination, you’d pay more than you would if you were traveling to the Caribbean.

How much do I tip the crew when reviewing my yacht charter expenses?

It’s not required that you tip your crew, but it is recommended and appreciated. If you had an enjoyable experience it’s considered polite to tip your crew anywhere from 15-20% at the end of your charter.

Charter Cost FAQ's --> BVI, USVI & Caribbean Yacht Charter Cost FAQ's

How Much Does it Cost to Charter A Crewed Yacht in the BVI, USVI & Caribbean? The majority of our charters are all inclusive, starting at around $20,000 per week and up to $70,000 per week, plus tip. Our other category of higher-end yacht charters are "plus all expenses". These higher-end yacht charters start around $50,000, plus all expenses on our power catamarans and around $70,000 plus all expenses on our motor yachts. View our cost tables above to learn more about our typical "all inclusive" or "all-in" crewed yacht charter costs.

What's included in our all- inclusive charters? For the majority of our crewed yacht charters, the rates are "all inclusive" including 8 days/7 nights aboard a private yacht with professional Captain and Chef, 3 meals per day, requested beverages, standard bar, fuel, all expenses related to the running of the vessel, plus use of on-board sports equipment.

What's excluded from our all-inclusive charters?

• Standard Crew Gratuity : A main cost excluded from the weekly rates is a customary crew gratuity. The standard amount is 15 to 20% of the charter rate. The gratuity is based on services provided throughout the week, can be scaled up or down based on service, and is at the discretion of the client. Be sure to plan this amount into your charter budget.
• Other exclusions : Unless otherwise specified, the published rate does not include scuba diving, scuba equipment, premium beverages and fine wines, excessive alcoholic consumption, off yacht excursions, dockage (at guests request), telephone, airport transfers or similar expenses incurred by the charter guests. Some yachts also charge for cruising taxes/permits or USVI or BVI port fees, etc. If there are additional costs that you will incur while aboard the yacht, we will let you know those costs at your time of inquiry.

What's included in our plus-expenses charters? These plus expenses crewed yacht charters include the yacht only with all other expenses at an additional cost to the Charterer.

What's excluded from our plus-expenses charters? These plus expenses charters include the yacht only, with all other charter expenses (such as fuel, food, beverage, bar, dockage, etc.) at an additional cost to the Charterer. These expenses are paid via an upfront APA (advance provisioning allowance) and typically at 35% on top of the base charter rate. Another main exclusion is the customary crew gratuity. The standard amount for a gratuity on a plus expenses yacht is 15 to 20% on top of the base charter rate. The gratuity is based on services provided throughout the week, can be scaled up or down based on service, and is at the discretion of the client.

Do the yachts charge a premium for Christmas and New Years Charters? Yes. Christmas and New Year charters have a holiday surcharge added to the published winter weekly rate. Yachts will also mandate specific holiday dates which allow them to book both a Christmas and New Year charter. These charters must be at least one week in length or the Charterer must be willing to pay for a full week's rate if wanting to charter the yacht for less than a week. Some yachts additionally charge premium rates for Thanksgiving and/or Easter week.

Is it possible to charter for less? The charter cost tables represent typical ranges, but there are occasionally available yachts which may charter for less. Review our current yacht specials to see a list of yachts currently offering published specials. Or, consider a 6 night, pro-rated charter as further explained below.

What if we charter for less than one week? A large majority of our all inclusive yachts offer 6 night charters at a pro-rated rate. Many of our clients opt for a 6 night charter as this gets pro-rated on a straight basis and often brings particular recommended yachts into more affordable ranges. To determine 6 night rates, divide the weekly rate by 7 then multiply by 6. To determine 5 night rates (for yachts that are willing to charter 5 nights), the industry divides the weekly rate by 6 then multiplies by 5. Due to this calculation, the difference between a 5 and 6 night charter is minimal.  Please note that our personal minimum charter length is 6 nights.

Do the yachts offer lower prices for the summer/low season? For a majority of yachts, summer/low season runs from May 1 through December 14 and winter/high season runs from December 15 through April 30. Most yachts now operate at a year round rate.

Do prices vary by destination? Yes, charters outside the BVI and USVI are typically more expensive. Our most affordable and largest selection of yacht options are based in the USVI and BVI from November through July. When yachts are willing to travel outside of the BVI and USVI to other Caribbean destinations or the Bahamas, the end charter rate is typically higher than its counterpart in the Virgin Islands. Cruising taxes/permits are always extra outside of the BVI and USVI and delivery fees often apply for the yacht to get to other destinations. In the Bahamas, most yachts are plus all expenses at 35% on top of the noted base rate plus an additional 4% Bahamas tax and an added 10% Bahamas VAT tax.

Do prices vary by yacht style? Yes, charter costs on our power catamarans and traditional motor yachts are definitely higher than aboard our sailing catamarans. A bulk of the extra cost incurred is due to the fuel expense on these yachts as well as other additional factors. Please note that sailing catamarans are by far our most popular yacht style, have the ability to motor between islands as well, and you'll find the most yacht options to choose from within this yacht style category.

Will the yachts negotiate on price? No. Our yachts set their own rates, have "published rates" within the industry, and have priced themselves competitively based on current market trends. However, several of our yachts do offer published specials throughout the year.

Will the yachts give a discount if you have meals ashore? Many of our yachts offer half-board charters at a minimal reduction in the charter rate. These half-board charters typically include 7 breakfasts, 4 lunches and 3 dinners aboard with the remainder of meals, or one meal per day, taken ashore at the Charterer's expense. These half-board charters will often cost more overall than a full board charter, where all of your meals are included aboard. If you only plan to have a meal or two ashore there is no reduction in rate.

Do you offer charters with just a Captain aboard? While some of your yachts may note a Captain-Only rate within their rate notes, we will not book this type of charter and do not recommend this type of charter for our clients.

What we know after member of moving crew drowns in Oakland County lake

20-year-old man found after 13-hour search in rose township.

ROSE TOWNSHIP, Mich. – A member of a moving crew drowned in an Oakland County lake over the weekend while they were taking a break to cool off.

Oakland County deputies were called at 11:07 a.m. Saturday, July 20, 2024, to Taylor Lake in Rose Township.

Marsalis Quintin Carter, 20, of Detroit and Tuskegee, Alabama, was part of a moving crew that was helping a Rose Township resident move, officials said.

When the moving crew took a break, they asked the homeowner if they could go out on the boat to cool off, so the homeowner took them to the lake.

Carter and another man jumped off the side of a pontoon boat into the water, but Carter didn’t resurface.

His body was found at 12:30 a.m. Sunday after a search that lasted more than 13 hours and involved at least 25 divers, Oakland County deputies said. They used sonar equipment because of poor visibility in the lake.

His body was about 300 feet from the shore, in 35 feet of water.

An autopsy determined the cause of death to be drowning.

“I encourage people to have a personal flotation device on if they are not strong swimmers when they get in the lake, as we have had numerous drownings this summer in similar situations,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. “Even if you are a strong swimmer and have been drinking alcohol, it’s a good idea, as well.”
