How can we help?

Chartering a yacht

Once your dates are confirmed, we plan every detail together  the yacht, route, dining and onboard experiences  so everything is ready before you step aboard.
Yes. Dining, activities, cruising route and family needs can all be tailored to your wishes. Just tell us what you have in mind.
Families, couples, groups of friends and senior groups alike  anyone looking for privacy, comfort and a genuinely personal experience on the water.
Yes. Every charter is fully crewed  captain, chef and crew  so you can relax completely while the team looks after everything.
The most popular yachts and peak summer weeks book early, so we recommend reaching out as soon as you have rough dates. We’ll always do our best for later requests too.

Pricing & payments

The base fee typically covers use of the yacht and its equipment, crew wages and provisions, insurance and basic operating supplies. Fuel, food & drink for your party, berthing and local taxes are usually separate (via APA).
APA is an advance account  usually 30–40% of the charter fee that the captain uses to pay your running costs during the trip (fuel, food & drink, berthing, local taxes and so on). The captain records all spending; any unused balance is returned to you, and if costs run higher you may be asked to top it up.
Yes  VAT (typically 13% in the cruising areas we operate) is added on top of the charter rate where applicable.
Tips are not included and are entirely at your discretion. It is customary to give 10–15% of the charter fee to the captain at the end, shared among the crew, as a thank-you for good service.
If the yacht is not booked the week before or after yours and starts or ends away from her home base, a delivery / re-delivery fee may apply. We’ll always make this clear in your quote.
We’ll send a clear invoice and payment schedule. No payment is ever taken through the website  everything is handled directly and securely with our team.

On board

Ensuite cabins with private bathrooms, air conditioning, SAT TV, Wi-Fi and USB points  comfortable, well-appointed retreats after a day at sea. Layouts vary by yacht (doubles, twins, triples and master suites).
Depending on the yacht: jacuzzis and sun decks, indoor and open-air lounges, a gym, spa areas, a cinema, a children’s playroom and a full range of water toys.
Typically jet skis, SeaBobs, paddleboards, kayaks, wakeboards, water skis, towable rides and floating platforms  the exact selection is listed for each yacht.
Only in designated outdoor areas, out of consideration for all guests and the yacht.
Absolutely. Your chef will tailor menus to your preferences and any dietary requirements  just let us know in advance.
Yes, Wi-Fi is available on board. Coverage can vary in remote bays, which is often part of the charm.

Buying & selling

Yes. We represent buyers with honest guidance and access to off-market yachts, and we list sellers’ yachts with professional marketing and skilled negotiation.
We always recommend it. For any purchase we coordinate a pre-purchase survey and sea trial so your decision rests on facts, not photos.
It means we act as your single, coordinated point of contact for the sale  one clear marketing effort, no conflicting listings.

Events & parties

Yes  birthdays, weddings, proposals, corporate days and sunset cruises are all welcome. Tell us the occasion and we’ll handle the yacht, catering, music and the details.
It depends on the yacht and the type of event (cruising vs. at anchor). Share your guest numbers in the enquiry and we’ll match you with the right vessel.
