Yacht Charter

Yacht chartering is the practice of chartering a sailing or motor yacht and traveling to various coastal or island destinations. This is usually a vacation activity.

Companies that provide yachts for charter usually require guests to demonstrate that they have a qualified skipper and at least one competent crew member. If the guests cannot provide their own skipper (bare-boat charter), the company can supply one for an additional fee. This is known as a "skippered" or "crewed" charter.

As well as the flexibility it offers it can also be surprisingly excellent value for money, often working out cheaper than booking hotel rooms, especially if there are a good number of people going on holiday together.
