Know how to charter a yacht? The very first thing you should figure out is if you want to charter a crewed yacht or go it alone. Before you decide, consider that even the most accomplished yachtsmen in the world could have a wonderful time on a crewed charter. That’s because there is something to be said for vacation being a time when you hand over the reins to someone else and just focus on the people with which you’re spending time. The idea is that, with a crewed yacht charter, you need not design the cruising itinerary and calculate the time at sea and fuel consumption, nor do you have to concern yourself with the provisioning and menu plan. Not only that, but once underway, you need not worry about keeping everyone happy. No more interruptions of your morning swim because the kids need help with the tender. The crew is on hand to take care of everything.
