Find Your Perfect Yacht
Work through a few simple decisions — the kind of charter, the yacht type, and how it’s run — then search the collection or let a broker shortlist the right yachts for you.
How to Choose the Right Yacht
A great charter comes together through a few clear decisions. Work down the page in order — the kind of charter you want, the style of yacht, and how it’s run and catered — then use the search to find matching yachts, or let a broker shortlist them for you.
Charter type & purpose
Start with what the charter is for. A family holiday, a corporate programme, or simply a week away all shape the yacht, the crew and the itinerary in different ways.
Yacht type
Sailing catamarans, power catamarans, motor yachts, monohulls and superyachts each suit different groups, budgets and cruising grounds.
How it’s run
A Crewed charter includes a professional captain and crew who run the yacht and look after you; Captain-Only pairs you with a professional captain while you keep things relaxed and informal; Bareboat puts a suitably qualified guest at the helm with no crew aboard.
Not sure where to start?
You don’t have to weigh every variable alone. Tell a broker how you like to travel and they’ll narrow a wide field down to a short list that genuinely fits.
Step 1
Charter Type or Purpose
Some charters are shaped by who is aboard and what the week is for. Start here — then choose the yacht.
Step 2
Choose a Yacht Type
Each type suits different groups and cruising grounds. Pick one to pre-filter the collection — you can widen it again anytime.
Step 3
Crew & Meal Arrangements
Decide how the yacht is run. Crewed charters are our primary offering; Captain-Only and Bareboat are separate service arrangements.
Meal Plans on a Crewed Charter
On a crewed charter, how meals are handled is part of the experience. Two common approaches — exact inclusions vary by yacht and are confirmed from each yacht’s official information.
Full Board
The flagship crewed experience — the crew provisions and prepares meals aboard throughout the charter, so dining is fully taken care of.
Half Board
An alternative meal plan within a crewed charter: some meals are enjoyed aboard while others are taken at authentic local restaurants ashore — a relaxed way to combine onboard dining with island flavour and to support the communities you visit.
Step 4
