Chartering a yacht typically happens through
a yacht broker  an agent that is dedicated to
you and your experience. Yacht broker is
available to you for your entire journey, and
communicates on your behalf to move your plans
forward. Your yacht broker should be familiar
with yacht models, location-specific amenities,
and details about captains and crews. They should
be willing to work with you at length to
determine what options best serve your needs.
They will also help you understand the contract
and any stipulations clauses detailing incident
handling, safe waters and any restricted areas,
as well as when, where, and if you will come to
land.

Captain and Crew are as Crucial as Location
When chartering a yacht for any period of time,
its important to consider the captain and crew
of the boat you choose theyre key to ensuring
the experience youre looking to cultivate.
Because captains are people, too, they will
also have preferences and experiences. Some
captains are smooth sailing sightseers who can
take you to the perfect romantic coastline or
island chain. Others still love getting people
set up in waters, perfect for toys like jet skis.

determines much of the chartering
contracts financial details. One of the most
notable and more common sections is the upfront
deposit required. Oftentimes, a contract requires
50 percent at the time of signing. Another
detail is the Advance Provisioning Allowance that
most contracts include. This covers expenses like
the food, the fuel, and much of the rest of
supplies, and potentially o crew gratuity at your
discretion. Any difference is refundable.

schedule. Most chartered yachts will operate on a
schedule that is predetermined and locked in.

unexpected stop or an inability to stop. Take
time to read the details and to take notes. After
all, its your vacation you should choose a
yacht tour that fits your interests and desires.
