Skippered yacht charter: your crew, our crew and 7 days of adventure
A skippered yacht charter or fully crewed charter can be an ideal holiday choice. Sailing is a brilliant holiday for a family, families together or a group of friends. First, you wake up to the sound of warm water lapping against the hull of your yacht, and take breakfast and coffee in the sunshine. Then you cast off, hoist the sails and set course for an island just over the horizon. It’s island hopping in real style.
Above all, it’s about the freedom to do as you please, swimming in deserted, pristine bays and discovering new places. If you’ve got a sense of adventure, it’s the only way to travel.

Which yacht to choose for your charter
Your choice of yacht will depend on the size of your party and how many cabins you need, but also on your budget. Of course, our experienced consultants will be happy to advise you on the type of yacht and sailing destination best suited to you.
Skippered catamaran charter
At the top end of the scale, catamarans offer authentic sailing, but also more spacious accommodation and lots of deck space, so they are ideal for larger parties of between 5 and 10 guests. In addition, many catamarans are available with air conditioning and en-suite cabins.
Skippered monohull charter
On the other hand, monohull yachts from about 32ft up to about 65ft are favoured for their superior and more versatile sailing characteristics. Party size can be anything from 2 guests up to 12, and some larger yachts have en-suite cabins and air conditioning.
Yacht charter on a budget
Well-maintained older models can save you money, though if you want to try out the latest yachts, we have plenty of new yachts to choose from. A word of advice, though: it is best to book early, to make sure your ideal yacht is available.
