Sailing Yacht Charter

If you are looking for something a bit different this summer

, then why not try a sailing yacht charter to break up your holiday, while adding a touch of luxury to your getaway. Although it's not obvious from the name, a yacht charter is simply a technical way of describing renting a sailboat or motor yacht for your own use.

Yachting is popular among socialites, or those who can afford to cruise around oceans in the sun. It is popular for breaking up holidays, as it offers a unique way of seeing an area as well as a fun, fulfilling mode of transport.

Though yacht charters come with different conditions depending on the area, the company, the vessel required and any number of other factors, there are two kinds of charter:

Bareboat charters are generally the most basic form of charter. Effectively you rent the boat and nothing else - no skipper, no crew; from here on, it's up to you. This type of yacht charter requires preparation and dedication as you'll be entirely responsible for your voyage and for returning the boat at the agreed upon time. You're free to hire your own crew of course, although some basic seamanship is essential. This type of charter is popular with amateur sailors on vacation or with corporate events for staff - the teamwork and shared responsibility that comes with operating a larger vessel make for an enjoyable and unforgettable team-building exercise.

Crewed Charters on the other hand are a different matter altogether. As the name suggests, this charter supplies both yacht and crew. Depending on the size of your budget and the size of the boat in question, this can range from anything as small as a two-man crew of skipper and chef to something as large as a team of 30 or more people. Larger vessels can include a workforce of engineers, stewardesses and several deckhands, as well as specialist instructors such as scuba dive masters. Although this type of charter tends to cost more, it is an extremely luxurious method of travel and often a good introduction to the conditions of the open sea.
