7 nights is generally the average number of nights. Most yachts generally require a minimum of 5 nights. There is no limit on how long you can charter a vessel - dependent on availability.

All meals, snacks, standard ship’s bar (liquor, wine, beer, and soft drinks), fuel for the vessel and tender, insurance for the vessel and crews, all water sports activities.

Once you decide, we will put the yacht on a short term hold for your travel dates. We will do I final confirmation of the yachts availability and specifications and provide you with a standard contract plus any addendums to address further preferences. Your deposit is also required at this time. If you are more than 6 months away from your charter dates, a 25% deposit is required. 25% at 6 months out, and the final 50% is due 60 days before the charter. Your monies are held in escrow and released right before your charter begins.
