Give Yourself the World… Sail Away
The great thing about chartering a captained yachting vacation is that you are never limited to one part of the world – you can sail away to just about about anywhere. Chartering a yacht with captain and crew is very much like having your own private floating resort. You can enjoy any level of luxury with the freedom to go where your heart desires. If you’re not a sailor but long for one of these nautical adventures, you can hire a captain and crew to take you to sea.
For Maximum Luxury Charter with a Crew
There are different levels of yachting but for maximum luxury and relaxation, engage a company to give you a full crewed yachting experience. That means — without a care — you have people on board to pamper you, your family and guests… you have no more to do than to sit back and enjoy your holiday unless you want to jump in and help sail as the captain directs… isn’t that what vacations are all about?
Why Don't You Sail Away to Adventure?
The Drawbacks to Owning vs a Charter
For many of us, to own a luxurious yacht that can be taken out on a whim is a great way to exemplify success. But there are some drawbacks to ownership compared to simply chartering a captained yacht to fit your specific vacation plans. For one thing ownership brings the overhead of storage and maintenance. You may enjoy your yacht anytime that the weather permits but when not in use your yacht has to be secured and protected. Additionally, every year there are ongoing care and maintenance costs to keep the yacht looking good and being safe for your next seafaring adventure.
Another drawback is that owning a yacht pretty much dictates where you can go. You are restricted to that locale and you cannot easily go to far away places without a lot of trouble and expense. In that way a yacht you own is like a timeshare because buying it is like saying, we want to spend our time here… year after year.
Choose a New Exotic Location Each Year
By going the chartered yacht route with captain and crew, you can enjoy all the pleasures and luxuries of yachting but the world is your oyster in terms of where your adventures will be. Money permitting you can be sailing in the British Virgin Islands one month and yachting off the coast of Greece the next. And because you are only chartering for the time you enjoy the yacht, you have no concerns for caring for the boat once your vacation is over. You let the crew worry about those expensive details.
Charter vs Cruise Ship
Chartering a yacht has a lot of advantages over a cruise ship or staying at a luxury resort because where you go is entirely up to you. You can explore remote parts of an island or — if the mood suits you — go to sea for some serious fishing. The crew and the ship’s captain are only there to serve your needs, respond to your requests and insure your happiness and safety during your cruise. You don’t have the canned itinerary dictated by the cruise ship and none of the restrictions of being at a static resort property.
The Ideal Vacation
Chartering a yacht with a crew in what ever exotic place you choose makes for the perfect vacation. If you have not tried yachting yet, seek out a charter company crewed by a certified U.S. Coast Guard Captain for your adventure at sea. Once you experience the freedom, luxury and relaxation of yachting, you’ll want to come back again and again. You’ll want to sail away for the incredible vacation possibilities yachting can provide.
