Crewed Boat Charters are the Ultimate All-Inclusive Sailing Vacation

If you want a completely worry-free vacation, a fully crewed yacht charter is exactly what you are looking for. A crewed yacht vacation provides you with the ultimate all-inclusive holiday aboard a private yacht, power catamaran, or a monohull.

When you book a crewed boat charter, complete with a professional captain and gourmet chef who attends to your every need, you will quickly discover there is no better way to cruise the islands. The experienced crew will customize a gourmet menu, including a stocked bar, and tailor the Caribbean itinerary or Mediterranean itinerary to accommodate your preferred level of activity and excursions. No need to worry about a gluten intolerance or picky eaters – the experienced chef will create a menu based on your personal preferences and accommodate all allergies, aversions, and dietary restrictions. On a crewed sailing vacation, you are not responsible for anything except enjoying yourself!

Picture sparkling seas, the waves gently lapping at your boat, a captain and chef who knows every hidden cove and history along your route, and sipping cocktails under starry skies.

Indulge in culinary creations worthy of Michelin stars or a really good cheeseburger in paradise – it’s your choice. Before your feast, you can swim with the turtles, paddleboard into caves, or comb the pristine beaches for seashells and treasures.

A crewed yacht vacation wouldn’t be complete without a complement of water toys, often including fishing gear, stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, wakeboards, and much more.

Each luxury crewed yacht charter has its own dinghy to shuttle you ashore at a moment’s notice to explore the islands or drop you at Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke for one of their world-famous Painkillers.

For those who are scuba certified or want to learn, many crewed yachts can offer you amazing scuba diving adventures exploring shipwrecks and reefs.

All-inclusive crewed yacht charters with private cabins are offered on sailing catamarans, monohull sailboats, power catamarans, and motor yachts.

A crewed sailing charter combines a luxury vacation with adventure and the privacy of your own waterfront resort.

Additional Crewed Yacht Charter Q & A’s

What Type of Crewed Sailing Charter Should I Choose?

There are four different types of crewed charter yachts to choose from: sailing catamarans, sailing monohulls, power catamarans, and motor yachts. The most popular type is a crewed catamaran charter because of its stability during sailing or motoring between islands. These crewed catamaran charters also have nice-sized cabins and a wide deck for extra space. There is a wide range of sailing catamarans available, suitable for every budget, from standard to ultimate luxury. The sailing monohull will be for you if you want a more invigorating sailing experience because they will lean to the side more while sailing. If you are not at all interested in doing any of the sailing and are looking for a little more luxury, then the power catamarans or motor yachts will be good choices.

How Much Can I Expect A Crewed Boat Charter To Cost?

The cost of crewed sailing charters varies depending on the location, size of vessel, the age of the boat, the experience level of the crew, and the number of people on board.

However, here are typical average crewed yacht charter price ranges for one week:

  • Six to Eight Guests: $3,000 – $4,000 per person
  • Two to Four Guests: $4,000 – $6,000 per person

The recommended crew gratuity is 15% to 20% of the crewed boat charter fee.

What Types of Activities Are Available with a Crewed Boat Charter?

One of the enticing aspects of a crewed yacht vacation is that you determine your level of activity and what you want to do. Do you want to chill out all day reading a book, spend all day out on the water playing with your water toys, or do something in between? There will be plenty of fun for everyone! Each crewed yacht is fitted out differently, but on most yachts, you will find items for basic water sports, including snorkeling equipment, stand-up paddle boards or kayaks, and floats. Some fully crewed yacht charters will come with even more water toys for you to choose from like scuba diving gear, knee boarding, water-skiing, kiteboarding, and fishing equipment. Some crewed sailing charters may also have floating islands, beach games, board games, and movies, so there is always something different to do. You will also find that each destination will have its own onshore activities for you to enjoy, such as hiking, beach combing, beach bars, and exploring unique natural and historical attractions.

Where Can I Charter a Crewed Yacht?
