Explorer Yacht Charter

Chartering with YH

How much does a luxury yacht charter cost?

Rates are quoted on request and vary by vessel, season and itinerary. No payment is taken at the inquiry stage — share your dates and cruising ground and your concierge returns a tailored quote.

What's included in a private charter?

A private charter typically includes the full crew, a private chef, fuel within the itinerary, water toys such as snorkel and dive gear, kayaks and SUPs, all onboard meals, soft drinks and basic beer and wine — inclusions vary by vessel. A separate APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) covers fuel beyond the itinerary, port fees, premium beverages and special requests.

How many guests can a charter take?

Guest capacity varies by vessel — intimate crewed yachts typically sleep six to a dozen guests across several cabins, while larger yachts and day boats carry more. Each vessel's exact guest capacity is listed on its page.

When is the best time to sail?

The ideal window depends on your cruising ground and the vessel. Share your dates and destination and your concierge will advise the best season and itinerary.

How do I book, and what deposit is required?

Booking follows a simple flow: a no-payment inquiry, a shortlist from our desk, and a captain's hold of up to 14 days while you decide. A deposit then secures the charter — the amount and schedule follow each vessel's own terms and are confirmed in your proposal, never a fixed platform rate. The balance falls due before departure, followed by a pre-charter call, and then your voyage.
