Setting your budget:
For a start , the size of a super yacht is normally a good indication of how much your desired yacht charter holiday will cost. On top, a classic yacht or a luxury gullet, is more than likely to cost much less than a modern designer yacht . You also need to consider extra costs which on a super yacht with 3 powerful engines can be substantial, while on a supersail yacht where engine will be used mainly to get in and out of marinas, these costs are considerably lower.

Decide on Destination:
Yachts normally charter in set destinations such as the Eastern or Western Mediterranean. Other popular destinations include Florida, the Caribbean and the Bahamas, British Columbia and Alaska and some more remote locations such as Thailand and the Seychelles. At times, the owner will accept challenging itineraries such as Venice – Dubrovnik or even Venice - Monaco, yet the utmost care will be given to safety first, relaxation and enjoyment second. The duration of such yacht charters is therefore a key.

Number of guests
& cabin configuration:
First, you will need to know the number of guests that will be invited on board of your super yacht in order to work out cabin requirements. Super yachts with master suite and twin cabins area a great choice for small families. For group charters or larger families additional VIP stateroom as well as at least one or two double cabins may be better option. With more complex groups, use of a number of twin cabins or flexible accommodation with Pullman berths will be needed in order to sleep all guests in comfort. Some yachts are also perfect for a group of friends such as four or five couples; others have a fully flexible accommodation so that cabin layout can be changed to accommodate your specific group. In any case, once the budget and destination of your choice are chosen, we can provide a list of all super yachts available for yacht charter locally and then choose the best or most suitable model.

Facilities:
You will probably have your own list of requirements in terms of what is important to you. Prioritised facilities usually include well-equipped master cabin, extensive range of water toys and zero speed stabilizers for comfort both at sea as well as at anchor. If taking children with you, it is important to consider facilities to keep them occupied. A number of entertainment systems such as a cinema, playstation as well as water sports are to be sure to do this. Some super yachts are also more suitable for children simply because certain yachts are both well experienced to handle such charters and prefer to have parties with children on board. Other superyachts on the other hand will not accept yacht charters with kids on board simply because of the owners wish, the set up of the crew or the area in which they sail during particular period of time.

Type of a superyacht:
There are various types of super yachts to choose from. These are motor yachts, sailing yachts, power catamarans and sailing catamarans as well as gullets and motor sailors. Which one will be most suitable for your next yacht charter holiday, it will probably depend on your own desires but also on availability of such yachts locally.
Crew:
All super yachts come with crew, be it only three members whom are to be found on some sailing catamarans or smaller motor yachts or thirty plus, which are found on some of the largest, billionaire superyachts of this world. Professional crew members are on board to provide a variety of services from chef to fitness trainer to bodyguard. They are always carefully chosen and vetted and very well qualified so that your stay on board is as good as in any 5, 6 or 7 star hotel.

Food and Drink: Matching the skills of the chef to the palette of the charter guests is very important. Chefs on board of a super yacht are well trained and use excellent quality produce from the areas your charter yacht cruises to, creating delicious menus. In some cases, choosing a specific chef before deciding on a yacht can also be your first choice when planning your next luxury crewed charter. Chefs are therefore very important and although very flexible to accommodate all your wishes, they are most of the time specialised in one or two specific type so cooking ie. Italian. Yacht provisioning is always taken very seriously and is either done by the crew and chef themselves or by professional yachting supply companies. In both cases, your wishes and desires are fully considered before anything is ordered, taken on board or served on the table during your luxury crewed charter.
Itineraries and berth reservations:
For every booking, we will create a unique, tailor made super yacht charter itinerary to match your desires, requirements and preferences. Berth reservations in marinas along the way can also be made, sometimes in advance, most of the time on a last minute basis through the captain or chief stewardess. We are also always standing by to ensure you are able to get in a location of your choice, for example in St Tropez old harbour during busy August holidays, Port Hercules in Monaco during F1 Grand Prix or Cannes old harbour during Cannes Film Festival.
