Whether you are a first-time charterer or a seasoned veteran, choosing a charter yacht does not have to be complicated. Picture it a little like reserving a hotel, size, location, price and style are all important factors to consider. What is it that you are after?
Using the services of a reputable yacht charter company will be beneficial in finding the perfect vessel for your needs.
With such a large selection of excellent yachts to choose from, selecting a charter yacht may be a difficult process. Here are a few tips to consider when choosing the best charter yacht for you.
Space and Layout
To begin, determine the number of individuals you plan to cruise with and become familiar with their connections. For example, if you’re arranging a trip with a couple of buddies, cabin space and setup won’t be a significant problem; however, if there will just be couples, you should ensure that everyone has equal (or almost equal) cabin space.
When sailing with children, however, a spacious cabin with one or two bunk beds would most likely be the best option. If you’re renting for more than a weekend, avoid picking a boat where someone will have to sleep in the salon, since cramped conditions and a lack of privacy can ruin an otherwise well-planned trip.
Cruise Duration
How long do you plan to be sailing for? Your cruise duration can help with your choice. If it is only a short trip, maybe a small charter is perfect for you but with longer trips comes the need for one’s own space. A larger charter may be the way to go if you plan to sail for more than a couple days.
Budget
The pricing range is a great place to start when looking for a boat. However, bear in mind that there will be extra fees to consider, such as:
– skipper (highly suggested if you are a novice)
– deposit
– fuel
– docking and other charges at some marinas
– in addition to (additional linen, outboard engine, additional sails and so on)

Purpose and Type of Yacht
It’s time to consider the type of boat you want and the purpose of your rental after you’ve settled on people, duration and money. If you want to sail with a competent crew, choose a well-equipped sailing yacht that will ensure your comfort. If you want to conduct your own sailing, seek a boat that is nimble and technically better, even if the aesthetics aren’t as appealing so that your sailing experience is as smooth as possible. If the number of people and the requirement for privacy prevent you from renting a monohull sailing boat, consider renting a catamaran instead. Finally, if your goal is to see as much as possible, a speedboat could be the best option for you.
