Factors to Consider for Sailboat Charters

A sail vacation is a fantastic experience. Numerous luxury sailboat yachts are available for charter, each offering distinct features, destinations, and experiences. Consider the following things when selecting your yacht.

Group Size

First, consider the size of your group and the budget you have in mind for the vacation. The largest yachts can accommodate up to 12 guests, except for some motor sailors, who can sleep more guests. Sailboats can have king cabins, doubles, and twins, so inquire about the layout when choosing your boat.

Destination

Consider the distance between the stops you want to make in your sailboat journey. Sailboats can’t cover long distances every day because they rely on the wind.

So, please list your top stops and research them. Then, talk to our charter brokers about the options. No matter your charter destination, we will help make your trip unique.

Sailboat Charters | Weather Conditions

Weather plays a role in planning a successful luxury sailboat yacht vacation. Take it into consideration when deciding when to travel. Winds can be high in Greece and the Caribbean, while some destinations have calmer conditions.

Regardless of the weather, your captain and crew always prioritize safety and discuss your plans daily. Please get in touch with us for more information on selecting one of our crewed sailboat charters for you.
