Choosing a Yacht
There is a luxury charter yacht and an itinerary to suit every taste, interest and inclination. Whatever you are seeking, it can be arranged, including the choice of yacht – motor or sail – the size, number of guests, length of charter, destination, activities and itineraries – depending on what you're interested in.
The mega yacht is your own floating hotel, so depending on your preferences and your budget, your charter specialist at Luxury Charter Group will match the right yacht to fit your personal requirements.
The choice of luxury yacht is defined by your own needs. We can tell you what sail and motor yachts are available that meet your criteria. Our approach never comes off the shelf in a one size fits all manner. We are committed to personalising the selection. We cross reference boats that match your needs and preferences and you can choose from a short list that fits the bill.
Crewed Charters
A "crewed charter" refers to a yacht that has permanently dedicated professional crew fully employed by the Owner, all year round. It is vital for the smooth running of a charter vessel that the crew work harmoniously with each other as a Team to provide a high level of seamless service to you, and that they know and understand the technical workings, routines and other attributes of their superyacht.
