Absolutely. Every charter is bespoke. Work with our team and your captain to design an itinerary tailored to your interests — whether that's secluded beaches, vibrant ports, diving spots, or cultural excursions. We can also arrange special experiences like private beach dinners or guided tours.

Most of our charters are crewed, meaning a professional captain, chef, and crew are included. Crew size depends on the yacht — from 2-3 on smaller vessels to 15+ on superyachts. Bareboat charters (self-skippered) are available for qualified sailors.

We offer virtual tours and detailed photo galleries for all vessels in our fleet. In-person yacht viewings can be arranged at select marinas by appointment. Our team can also provide video walk-throughs upon request.

One-way charters are available on select routes and vessels, allowing you to embark at one port and disembark at another. This is popular in the Mediterranean and Caribbean. One-way charters may have a repositioning supplement.

Charter pricing includes the base charter fee (yacht and crew) plus an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) of typically 20-35% to cover fuel, food, beverages, marina fees, and other running costs. Any unused APA is refunded at the end of the charter.

We accept bank wire transfers, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), and select digital payment platforms. Payment is typically split into a 50% deposit at booking and the balance due 4-6 weeks before the charter date.

We believe in transparent pricing. The charter fee and APA cover the vast majority of costs. Additional expenses that may arise include premium wines, special excursions, or crew gratuity (customary at 10-20% of the charter fee). All potential extras are clearly outlined in your charter agreement.

Your captain continuously monitors weather conditions and will adjust the itinerary to ensure safety and comfort. In the event of severe weather, the yacht will shelter in a protected harbor. Our operations team provides 24/7 support and weather updates throughout your voyage.

A refundable security deposit is typically required, ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 depending on the vessel. This covers potential damage during the charter. Alternatively, we can arrange deposit insurance for a small fee, protecting you against damage claims.

Gratuity is customary but not mandatory. A typical tip ranges from 10-20% of the base charter fee, reflecting the quality of service. Tips can be given to the captain at the end of the charter, who distributes it among the crew. We can advise on regional customs.

Cancellation terms vary by charter agreement. Generally, cancellations made 90+ days before departure receive a full refund minus a processing fee. Cancellations 60-89 days out forfeit 50% of the deposit. Within 60 days, the full charter fee is typically non-refundable. We strongly recommend trip cancellation insurance.

Date changes are subject to yacht availability. If the same vessel is available on your new preferred dates, we can usually accommodate the change with minimal or no fee. Changes made close to the departure date may incur additional charges.
