FAQ

WHAT IS A CREWED CHARTER? AND DO YOU OFFER CATERING?

A crewed luxury yacht, motorboat or catamaran charter has a permanent crew that takes care of the yacht and its passengers.

Special requests can be made for your charter and catering can be provided. However, we do recommend that you communicate your special requests and menu/drink options before you board the yacht, so we may have time to buy and prepare everything in advance.

Onboard the yacht you will find a limited selection of complimentary drinks are provided.

We also allow clients to bring their own food and drinks on board most of our boats, but it’s best to check with us first. Many people though prefer to enjoy the excellent beach bars and restaurants along the way that offer a wide range of cuisines.

WHERE TO GO ON DAY CHARTER?

Before recommending an itinerary, we like to talk to you to try and discover what you want to get out of your charter.

WHY MAX 12 PEOPLE ON BOATS?

Each yacht and motorboat featured on the website shows the number of guests, excluding captain and crew if applicable, that are legally licensed to travel on the boat during the day and the number allowed to sleep aboard.

Some vessels are only licensed for 7, 8, 10 etc. The captain is responsible for the safety of your group and even if he wanted to, he is not allowed to carry more passengers than the license allows. The fines are too great and the consequences too severe to even contemplate breaking safety regulations.

If you have more than 12 people, you can choose to add a tandem boat to carry the extra guests and when stationary, the group can choose to be together on the main boat. In addition, sometimes it is possible for the tandem boat to offer water sports such as water skiing, wake boarding and other inflatable’s – an ideal solution and a lot of extra fun. This can be a cost effective option for groups 13 – 18 people.

Our yachts are also child friendly and have appropriate child life-vests on board.

The capacity of a boat includes children, so if a yacht or motorboat says capacity 12 and you have 3 children, then you can only have an additional 9 adults.

Yachts do not permit guests to bring pets on board for several reasons:

· The crew is required to maintain rigid cleanliness standards for all their guests.

· There is a potential of allergens from animals remaining aboard.

· Animals are typically not accustomed to the strict confinement of a ship and an active cruising itinerary can be quite uncomfortable for pets.

· Just like humans, animals can also be sensitive to the effects of motion and may become     disoriented and lethargic.
