You have a full crew of professional sailors to look after your every need.
The crème de la crème of yacht charter, crewed is the ultimate in luxury. For those who’ve binge-watched Below Deck during the lockdown, you’ll have an idea! Crewed yachts have permanent crew who live onboard the yacht. It’s their job to make sure that you’re fully taken care of for sailing, catering and entertainment. Smaller crewed yachts start from around 50ft and right up through the mega-yacht territory. Before the charter, you’ll work with the yacht’s management team to detail your preferences for food and itinerary. As these charters are bespoke, pricing ranges widely but will usually have three components:
1. Charter Fee (the use of the yacht and crew)
2. Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA – a kitty of usually 30% of the charter fee to cover provisioning, berthing, fuel and other running costs)
3. Tip (a tip of between 10% – 20% of the charter fee made to the crew)
