Jet Ski License: Must-Have for Charter Vacations
Wednesday, February 1st, 2012The use of personal watercraft is restricted in many popular charter locations. Here's how to make sure you'll be able to use all the toys that come with your yacht.
Sailing Yacht Charters
Thursday, January 12th, 2012Sailboats for large bareboat charter fleets have long been built by companies such as Bavaria, Beneteau, and Jeanneau, and they have been standardized to the point that after you have chartered one, you’ll find that you’re familiar with the sailing, mechanical and electrical systems on any of them. In smaller venues, and in much larger crewed yacht charters, you’ll find quite a bit of variation, but in the first case, the boats will tend to be simpler. And in the latter, you’ll have a professional crew to explain, and maintain, the systems. In any case, improvements in roller-furling headsail systems, and the use of in-mast furling or lazy jacks for mainsails has dramatically simplified sailhandling on virtually all yachts.
Fishing Yacht Charters
Thursday, January 12th, 2012Fishing Yacht Charters are the best way to try out a new area, a new boat, or a new species. The style of the fishing boat you wish to charter may vary depending on the type of fishing and the species of fish you are looking for. The price point will be affected by the geography (relative location to the fish) and then the type or style of boat used to catch those fish.
The Romance of Yacht Charter
Tuesday, January 10th, 2012If you like the idea of waking up to a new water view every morning and toasting a different sunset seascape each night, you’ll understand the appeal of yacht chartering, which makes it possible to have new experiences and visit new areas without leaving your vacation “home.” It can also provide the opportunity to master a new skill, like sailing or scuba diving, in a hands-on setting. And it can be a great way to bring the family together, away from the distractions of land.
Bareboat Yacht Charters
Tuesday, January 10th, 2012Bareboat charter is for the do-it-yourself skipper and crew who are looking for the independence and privacy that come with taking charge of a charter yacht. These yachts are usually sailboats and are most often 50 feet or shorter in length (46 or less for multihulls). In general, bareboat charters are less expensive than charters with a paid crew.

Monday, January 9th, 2012Crewed yacht charters may be aboard power or sailboats of almost any size. Chartering a crewed yacht provides the luxurious relaxation that comes with letting professionals worry about meals, logistics, and other details.
