Sailing Yachts: The charter fee generally covers the boat, a full tank of petrol and water, maps, and a dingy/tender. There is generally a charge for linens (if you want them), and almost always a mandatory final cleaning fee, ranging from €50 to €300 depending on the size of the boat. In some cases, you may also be charged a small amount if you want a motor for the dinghy. Beyond this, the major costs are provisioning (most can now be done easily online and will be on your boat when you arrive) and mooring fees. We can provide estimates of mooring fees, depending on your itinerary. Motor Yachts: For motor yachts, the major additional cost beyond the basic charter fee will be fuel. We try to list on the site the fuel consumption per hour for each boat and a typical charter will burn about 3 hours of fuel per day. Depending on the yacht's size, the fuel consumption varies (larger yachts are equipped with bigger engines). Diesel prices are rising, but the rule of thumb is that it will cost about €1.30 per litre (or about $3.30 per gallon) of fuel. Other charges will be mooring fees if you'll be spending the night in a port and any provisioning you request. These charges are paid in cash to the skipper/captain (along with his tip). When you're booking with us we'll do our best to calculate any costs, and if you have any questions we're happy to provide estimated costs.

A bareboat is simply a boat that is rented without crew or sometimes a skipper, although you will need to skipper and navigate it yourself. Depending on the country, you will need to show some type of certification or previous boating experience, such as a resumé of your experience. You can also add a skipper to your yacht charter if you don't have the necessary qualifications or confidence, but still want to do a bareboat charter.

A crewed charter is a charter on a luxury sailing/motor yacht where a permanent crew takes care of the yacht and the passengers. The crew is made up of a captain and additional trained crew including hostesses, deckhands, engineers, even masseuses and beauticians on some larger motor yachts. on sailing catamarans, the crew is mostly consisting of a captain and a hostess. In some occasions, a chef and/or deckhand is included. Depending on what you require, crewed boats can simply have a skipper and a hostess or a whole team to take care of you during your charter!

This is dependent on the country you are chartering in, as it differs everywhere. Generally speaking, if you're chartering a powerboat, you'll need at least a PB2 (practice), and if you are chartering a bareboat you will need at least a day skipper/ICCor ASA 104 or equivalent. If you're renting a sailboat, the answer to this question is more varied. You will definitely need a day skipper (minimum) license in Spain/Greece/Italy/Croatia/Turkey/Thailand. In France and the BVI it's best to have a license, but often you will be able to take the boat if you can show experience and competence. Any documentation of previous charters you may have will be helpful. Do not leave it to risk, however - we will review all of your documentation and qualifications prior to the charter to make sure you can get the boat! If you do not qualify to charter bareboat or lucking experience, we highly recommend you hire a skipper. Most skippers are highly competent, while also letting you relax when you want to.

On our site, we encourage clients to pay through Paypal or credit card, but due to the significant amounts moved around (especially on larger motor yachts) depositing the money in a company's bank account is a secure option.

Generally, 25% is due if booking more than 6 months out, a further 25% due 6 months out and the balance due 30 days in advance. If less than 6 months, then 50% due and the rest 50%, 30 days prior to charter. Bear in mind though, that above criteria may be altered depending on each boat owner's preferences.

Skipper’s services are paid separately from the charter fee (usually at check-in). The guests are obliged to pay them (also those of a hostess or a cook) as well as food and drink for the skipper or the other crew members. Motor yachts and sailing catamarans exceeding certain length and registered as crewed yachts, are chartered exclusively with the crew (provided by the vessel owner), in which case the crew expenses are included in the charter fee.

Absolutely yes. Once you have chosen your charter yacht and agreed on the yacht offer, the owner or agency will issue a standard and approved Charter Contract.

SECURITY DEPOSIT ranges from € 1.000 to € 3.000 depending on size & model type. A refundable security deposit depending on the size of the yacht, has to be paid, usually at check in (cash/credit card) prior to departure, which will be refunded at the end of the cruise as far as no damage/loss has occurred to the yacht and equipment. Personal checks of any kind are not acceptable.

In these uncertain times due to corona virus outbreak, the yacht industry has adjusted to this new reality. Thus, for any canceled flight or country travel restrictions, yacht companies offer vouchers for future use of the booked yachts. Furthermore, no money back is possible (deposit or advance payment).

Each boat after the end of the charter, is sprayed for disinfection before next use and final cleaning.

Yes it is possible. We specialize in charters, but the charters intersect with rentals at about 2-3 days, as larger boats are rented with a crew. During the boat search process on our site, you can choose whether you need the yacht for 1 day or more. When you click the search button, the results reflect your duration criteria.

When you send a request for an offer or message to an owner/agent, an elapsed time counter is triggered and we take action by contacting the owner/agent or sending an offer/response directly to you.

The answer depends on the destination and the skill level of the captain. Contact us for more assistance.

All charters begin at 17:00 on the day of departure (normally Saturdays at least on peak seaon) and typically end at 09:00 on the day of arrival (normally Saturdays). However, you will be kindly asked to return to base on the last evening of your charter (normally Friday evening the latest 18:00). We require this time between charters to proceed with the necessary cleaning / maintenance on the yachts.

There are various regions you can charter a vessel from like: Saronic gulf, Ionian islands, Athens and many more. Our platform is suitable for geographical searches and we encourage you to give it a go.

The geographical search helps into narrowing the search results, ending up with more targeted criteria. By selecting the "Country", a breakdown of regions is displayed, where you can select the desired "Region". When you select the Region, a list of Localities is displayed and in turn, by selecting the desired "Locality", a list of Base Harbors is displayed on the panel. While altering the geographical search criteria, an orange number next to each search list, depicts the number of boats that fulfills the specific search criteria. Thus, your search can produce results based on these four geographical criteria and also, gain access to important information about the different areas (tips, itineraries, weather info etc.).
