You have many options for your next holiday – thousands of package tours and resort hotels on a beautiful beach where you can get a great tan, dine with your family and friends, and maybe find a club to go to in the evening. So why charter a yacht?
We believe that chartering a beautiful yacht is the ultimate way to spend a holiday. How else can you stay in a different location each night without re-packing, avoid the holiday crowds while going to the most desirable locations, learn new skills that are valuable for a lifetime, and still find plenty of time to relax, read a book, or just enjoy the view? Being on a boat brings you much closer to your friends and family, because you have reached shared goals together, with everyone pitching in to help and contribute.
Many people worry that they’ll be too cramped on a boat, and that the close quarters will lead to problems. Having done many charters, we simply have not seen this occur (unless the people really didn't belong together and knew it beforehand). You spend so much time in the water, on the beach, or just concentrating on sailing, that the closeness just never seems to be a problem. If you feel cramped for any reason, just take a book to the bow deck and you’ll feel refreshed and invigorated.
The combination of freedom and accomplishment that you get on a boat is a powerful, nearly addictive force. Which is why people who charter a boat once tend to do it time after time, and won’t settle for a hotel room when they can have the entire sea as their vacation home!
So, let's get on with it!! There is plenty of information on the site to help you decide when and where to find the perfect boat. If you want more information, check out our Chartering Basics page. If you want to know more about finding the right boat, you can get a good overview in the Finding the Right Boat at the Right Price section. We discuss the advantage of booking the yacht of your dreams through ourselves - a fully personalised service that does all the searching for you and also guarantees best price in the Why Charter with Us? section. If you want to learn more about some of the possible destinations, we have great information and suggestions about the French Riviera, and the Carribean. We even have a Charter Checklist, for when you've selected the boat, to know what to bring with you!
