However, it would help if you were prepared when you meet a yacht rental company representative. It will make things easier for you.

 

Here are a few critical questions to consider when you plan to hire a luxury yacht chartering:

What types of tours are you planning?

This is the most crucial question because, based on this, the yacht charter company can guide you further. So, first, find out who are you travelling with and what would you love to do on your trip. If you are travelling with your spouse, you can plan a romantic tour combined with adventure and rejuvenation. If you are travelling with family, you must look for kids entertainment activity options and what adults would love to indulge in. If you travel with friends, you can opt for unexplored places, adventure activities and many more things. You can also opt for a simple leisure tour combined with the best culinary cuisines from the world.

What size and type of yachts you must book?

This is an essential question because this is based on the number of people travelling and what activities you wish to engage in. Even your destinations, route and provisions need to be decided based on your travel plan and the duration of your trip. Yacht charter companies can also equip your yacht as per your requirements, whether you should pick a sailboat or a motorboat.

Can you choose your destinations?

Your yacht rental companies know what the best destinations are and the right time to visit them. Starting from Italy, Riviera, Croatia, The Greek Isles, the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Gulf, the British Virgin Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Caribbean, the Bahamas and the Andaman, you can choose any or all from these hotspots for luxury yacht vacations. The benefit of a yacht charter is that you do not need to stick to your fixed route, and you have the liberty to change your destinations and routes while you are still in the middle of your trip.

What is the job of crew members?

Yacht charters also come with the services of a crew unless you opt for a bareboat charter. Crews members usually stay with the boat for many years, so they know the vessel, the routes, the hotspots for adventure activities and itineraries very well. Your yacht charter crew consists of a captain and trained crew that will include a chef, housekeepers, engineers, a concierge, deckhands and sometimes even masseuses and beauticians, available for larger yachts. Their job is to make your trip perfect and assist you at every step or whenever you need it when you are onboard.

Are you allowed to choose the food?

Provisioning is essential before the yacht charter begins. So everything is purchased and stocked before the yacht leaves the dock. Vessels have chefs to prepare meals as per your choice. However, you will have to tell your yacht company if you have any particular meal preferences.

What should you pack?

Take the list of items that you need to pack from your yacht charter company. A few things that are important are toiletries, your clothes, your towels, casual clothing, sunblock, sunglasses, an extra pair of shoes/slippers, bug spray, seasickness medicines, your personal medicines and any other items that you may need during your vacation. Don’t forget to carry your essential items if you are a woman.
