There are lots of factors that go into the price of a yacht including the size of the boat and the kind of features it includes. Lower priced models usually start at around $10,000 per week but some of the most luxurious ones can be as high as $100,000. Most cost somewhere between $20,000 and $30,000 per week.

If your yacht comes with exclusive perks, you’ll pay more for those specialty services. You may also have additional costs for things like crew gratuity, dockage fees and fuel. Food and drinks are included on some charters but others may charge separately for those items.

Most people book a yacht charter for a full week. You’ll usually travel with a crew, including a captain and other staff members. They’ll take care of different needs, like cooking, cleaning and other services.

The charter company will walk you through the planning process. They’ll help you plan every detail from the places you’ll visit to the menu you’ll enjoy. Your captain will take you to different locations around your cruising region, including local hotspots. Plus, you’ll have lots of time to enjoy the onboard activities. Many yachts come equipped with water toys like kayaks, Jet Skis and snorkeling gear.

We suggest checking local weather patterns before booking your charter. This way, you’ll know what to expect and which times to go.

For example, the Caribbean is most comfortable in the winter or spring when temperatures are lower. If you want to travel during summer, try the Greek Islands. They’re warm but generally dry during that time of year. Peak seasons usually carry higher rates but they can be more enjoyable.
