Luxury yachts are floating hotels at your command. They vary in length from less than 100 feet to over 300 feet, and a week’s charter is priced between $ 50,000 and $ 250,000. They can accommodate up to two-dozen guests and half the number of crew.
Besides the lounge on the deck, furnished with comfortable chairs, sofa and table, a typical luxury yacht has spacious air-conditioned state rooms for the guests, each fitted with an independent bathroom. The yacht also has a kitchen and a well-stocked bar to cater to the palate of the guests.
Once you charter a yacht for your dream vacation, you will have direct contact with the chef and captain in advance of your trip that will let the crew know your favorite foods and beverages and your favorite things to do.
Living in style aboard the yacht, one can spend quality time with friends and family, read a book, listen to music, watch TV or just laze around. One can also take part in such pleasurable activities as swimming, snorkeling, beachcombing, sunning or just sipping a cool drink in the shade of the cockpit.
The company that gives you the yacht on charter can also make arrangements on the islands you visit for other activities like fishing, golfing, hiking, horseback riding, jogging, mountain-biking, parasailing, picnicking on a secluded beach, jet-skiing, scuba diving, water skiing, windsurfing and so on.
You need not worry about getting lost at sea or running into rough waters while on a yacht charter vacation. You are in the safe hands of the captain, who is equipped with radio set, global positioning system (GPS) and a satellite phone.
A luxury yacht charter is ideal for a group of people that can be part of a family, a close-knit group, a special-interest group or an exclusive club.
