Choosing the Right Vessel for Your Charter

There are thousands of yachts available for charter in the Mediterranean, so it's essential to take some time to consider your options before making a decision. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a yacht for your charter:

How many people will you be accommodating? Do you want a spacious sun deck for entertaining or more intimate quarters for spending quality time with family and friends?

The type of vessel: Three main types of vessels are available for charter - motor yachts, sailing yachts and catamarans. Each has unique benefits, so choosing the right one for your needs is essential.

Your budget: Of course, one of the most important considerations when choosing a yacht is how much you're willing to spend. Yacht charters can range in price from a few thousand euros per week to upwards of 1 million euros per week. It's essential to have a clear budget in mind before beginning your search.

Your itinerary: What type of experience do you want to have? Are you interested in exploring remote coves and anchorages or sticking to more populated areas? Do you want to island hop or sail along the coast? Answering these questions will help you narrow your options and choose the best vessel for your needs.

Planning Your Itinerary

Once you've chosen the perfect vessel for your charter, it's time to start planning your itinerary. Here are a few things to keep in mind when putting together your plan:

Choose your destinations: Are you island hopping or sticking to one area? The Greek Islands are always popular choices, as are Croatia and Italy.

Consider your timing: When do you want to go? The peak season runs from late May through early October, but prices will be lower if you travel outside these months.

Decide on your activities: What do you want to do while on charter? Popular activities include swimming, sunbathing, fishing, snorkelling, diving and exploring ashore.

Make restaurant reservations: If there are any specific restaurants or cafes you want to visit, reserve ahead of time, as they can get quite busy during peak season.

Book any excursions: If there are any tours or excursions that you're interested in taking part in (such as wine tastings or cooking classes), make sure to book these well in advance as they often fill up quickly.

By following these tips, you'll have a fantastic time on your yacht charter!
