Everything visitors and first-time charterers ask us before booking — if your question isn't here, just message us directly.
Peak weeks in the Mediterranean and Caribbean can book out 6–9 months ahead, especially for larger crewed yachts. That said, we regularly place last-minute charters within days by working our network directly — always worth asking, whatever your timeline.
The base charter fee covers the yacht and crew. Running costs — fuel, food, drink, marina fees, and gratuities — are usually billed separately via an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), typically 25–35% of the charter fee. We walk you through the exact breakdown before you commit to anything.
Yes — that's the entire point of working with a consultant rather than booking a yacht off a listing site. We build the route, onboard experience and shore excursions around your pace and preferences, from a quiet family week to an active, port-hopping itinerary.
No. The vast majority of our charters are fully crewed — professional captain and crew included — so no experience is required. If you're specifically after a bareboat (self-skippered) charter, let us know and we'll advise on what's realistic for your experience level.
Typically a deposit secures the booking, with the balance and APA due closer to departure — exact terms depend on the yacht and owner/operator. We confirm the schedule in writing before anything is binding.
Cancellation terms are set by the yacht's owner or operator and vary by contract — we make sure you understand them clearly before you book, and can advise on charter insurance if you'd like that extra protection.
