What to Expect on Charter

No. On a crewed charter you do not have to lift a finger. You are welcome to join in with the sailing or motoring if you would enjoy it, but there is no requirement to. Cooking is handled entirely by your trained private chef, and where there is additional crew aboard, they look after the cabins and run the watersports activities.

Fully crewed charters offer the highest level of personalized service in the yacht charter industry. Professional crews excel at anticipating guest needs before they’re voiced—refilling drinks before glasses empty, preparing beach setups at secluded anchorages, timing meals perfectly with your activities, and adjusting itineraries based on your preferences.

Captains possess intimate knowledge of local waters, hidden anchorages, and the best snorkeling spots. Chefs often have culinary training and create restaurant-quality meals with elegant presentation. The crew’s attention to detail and genuine hospitality transform your charter from a boat rental into an unforgettable vacation experience.

No. The barefoot rule is there to keep the decks undamaged, carpets from getting stained and soles from marking the clean decks. If you need to have shoes on for medical reasons you can wear white soled shoes that have not been worn outside. Shoes specifically designed for yachts or soft sports sandals, with a good grip on the sole, would be an option. Here is more information on What to Pack
