What a private yacht charter means
A private charter reserves the vessel for your own group rather than placing you on a shared departure. The experience may include coastal sightseeing, time at anchor, swimming or snorkeling when conditions and the itinerary allow.
Choose the right vessel for your group
Compare passenger capacity, shaded seating, bathrooms, deck layout, boarding access and stability. A yacht that looks spacious in photos may have a different comfortable capacity once guests, crew and equipment are aboard.
Confirm the itinerary before paying
Ask where the boat departs, how long it travels, which stops are planned and whether the captain can adjust the route for wind, swell or harbor instructions.
Get the complete price in writing
Confirm charter duration, taxes, dock or fuel fees, crew gratuity expectations, food, drinks, water toys and any extra charges. Ask what deposit is required and when the balance is due.
