Premium yacht charter —
your questions answered

A charter on a yacht built to owner's spec rather than charter spec: more space per guest, air conditioning, a generator and a higher-spec fit-out.
No. Most of these yachts are bareboat, or you can add a skipper; a few come with one. There is no full crew to pay for.
From about €2,000 (£1,709) a week for the boat. Deposit, end-of-charter pack, tourist tax, fuel, marina fees and an optional skipper are extra.
An ICC or RYA Day Skipper plus a VHF licence. On yachts over 50ft most charter companies also ask for a sailing CV, and some for a test sail. If in doubt, add a skipper.
Yes. Tell us where, when and how many of you, and we'll search the wider fleet.
