There are many things which you need to consider when chartering a yacht, here we will provide you with step by step instructions on which order to do things, to make sure that you are both getting value for money, but also finding the most incredible yachts and locations available.
First you need to consider the location, this is an extremely important decision in the process. Try to find somewhere that is both calm and protected, with lots of different Islands to explore. This will ensure that you will not spend the time travelling between locations and will be potentially be able to find lots of beauty spots. Plus the Islands will also offer shelter from the elements if the weather is to turn. Ideally you are looking for lots of blue lagoons to anchor in.
Yacht Charters
The Mediterranean is probably one of the most exotic cruising locations, and there are steady supply of vessels to cater for this trade.
You can literally have your every need taken care of by the highly attentive crew. There are a wide variety of vessels available within this region, including Motor Yachts, Catamarans and finally Sailing Yachts. These will range from smaller vessels, right up to the Super Yachts which are an incredible spectacle, but also offer the highest levels of luxury available.
Crewed or Bareboat?
Once you have decided on the vessel you then need to select the crew.
This is an extremely important decision, as you need to make sure that they are going to be able to accommodate the type of trip which you wish to make. The standards of crew are normally high, and with the businesses which we engage, we make sure that the crew are hand-picked to ensure that they meet our high standards.
The full moon period is often considered to be the best time to travel when planning your excursion, as this can provide the most incredible images for you to enjoy on a quiet Island, which inspires an increased level of romance. When in clear waters, this will enable you to see the bottom of the sea late on into the evening. Which for most people is an image not to be repeated.
You need to make sure that you have your boarding arrangements set up for you in advance, to make sure that the vessel which you have hired will be available at the required time, and in the right location. There are a wide number of different routes that you can take around locations, but I would always suggest that you ask the crew in advance which is the best route, to ensure that you maximize the time which you spend on board.
Insurances
It is certainly recommended that all guests take out an insurance policy prior to embarking on the journey, this is a sedate way of travelling, but if there are any accidents this will make sure that you are covered.
Getting married on a beach in an exotic location will most certainly make a big impression and make it a “day to remember”, this and other specific requirements can always be accommodated upon request.
