YOU ARE THE BOSS

• Guests set the mood as well as the tempo of their voyage, with assistance from the captain;

• There are no strict schedules for the yacht’s itinerary, as you might expect on a cruise ship;

• Stay in the ports you love, and linger at island paradises as long as you wish;

• In smaller harbours and around islands, the view changes constantly;

• Every day brings a new scene when stepping out of your cabin for breakfast ;

• There’s no better way to impress your business partners or clients than by inviting them for a lunch on a yacht;

AFFORDABLE LUXURY

• The number of yachts worldwide is growing, and so is the supply of charter boats in different cruising grounds;

• Extra comfort doesn’t always mean higher rates;

• Booking in advance may save you a minimum of 5% on the listed charter price;
