An all-inclusive private crewed yacht charter gives you exclusive use of a yacht along with a professional crew dedicated to your group. Depending on the yacht, your crew may include a captain, chef, stewardess, deckhands, and other specialists who handle navigation, meals, service, and day-to-day operations throughout your vacation.

Every day on a private yacht vacation can be different and tailored to your interests. Wake up in a beautiful anchorage, enjoy breakfast prepared by your crew, then spend the day swimming, snorkeling, exploring beaches, trying water sports, or visiting nearby islands and coastal towns. Evenings might include cocktails at sunset, dinner prepared onboard, dining ashore, or relaxing under the stars. Whether you’re chartering in the Caribbean or Mediterranean, your itinerary offers the flexibility to be as adventurous or relaxing as you choose.

Private yacht charters are available aboard sailing and motor catamarans, monohull sailing yachts, motor yachts, motorsailers and luxury superyachts. Each offers a different experience, from the spaciousness and stability of a catamaran to the speed and amenities of a motor yacht or the traditional sailing experience of a monohull.

Inclusions vary by yacht and destination. Some crewed yacht charters include meals, beverages, fuel, water toys, and other onboard expenses, while others operate on a base charter rate plus expenses. Your Luxury Yacht Vacation specialist can explain exactly what is included before you book.

Many crewed Caribbean yacht charters include meals and standard beverages, while other yachts use an APA or plus-expenses arrangement. Before your trip, you’ll typically provide your food, beverage, dietary, and allergy preferences so the crew can provision the yacht and personalize your onboard dining experience.

Booking early provides the best selection of yachts, particularly for Christmas, New Year’s, and peak Mediterranean summer dates. For highly sought-after periods, booking six to ten months in advance is commonly recommended, while more flexibility may be available during other times of the year.

An Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is a fund used to cover charter expenses such as food, beverages, fuel, dockage, and other operating costs. APA is common on luxury motor yachts and Mediterranean charters. The captain keeps an accounting of expenses, and any unused funds are typically returned at the end of the charter.

A catamaran charter generally provides more living space, a wider deck, shallower draft, and greater stability at anchor. A monohull sailing yacht offers a more traditional sailing experience and the feeling of performance under sail. The right choice depends on your group size, comfort preferences, and desired yacht vacation experience.

Motor yachts offer greater speed and can make it easier to visit more destinations during your charter, while sailing yachts provide a quieter, more traditional experience powered partly or primarily by the wind. Both are available with professional crews and a wide range of luxury amenities.
