Chartering a yacht on holiday – what you should definitely pay attention to

A nice relaxing yacht trip is always a unforgettable experience that will provide great memories long after the holiday. It doesn't matter whether you are interested in the coast and want to explore it, prefer to float comfortably on the water or want to sail to remote islands. By chartering a yacht you get exactly the freedom and flexibility, that you need to fully enjoy the beauty of the sea and nature.

Do you want to spend a pleasant, carefree and really relaxed day on the beautiful sea with family and friends? Then you should definitely take some important factors note if you have a Yacht charter and are looking for the right model.

The following tips will help you make the right decision and find exactly the yacht that will fulfill your dream of a wonderful day on a great yacht and of course that of your family and friends.

Number of people / size of yacht

The size of the yacht is a very important factor. For all the people who want to spend the day with you, There must be enough space. Usually, the description of the yacht includes the number of people who can go on board. Of course, the more people there are on the trip, the better the atmosphere on board. However, you should pay attention to that everyone has a seat and, ideally, the opportunity to stretch their legs now and then. If the yacht tour is to last several days, you should also make sure that there are enough sleeping accommodations available.

Participating children

What child doesn't dream of a day on a beautiful yacht? For most of them, this is a real highlight that they will tell their friends about for months. If children are taking part in the trip, you must ensure that the yacht is safe for children . Look closely at the models and pay attention to whether there is a higher side. It is also recommended an edge in the bow behind. Although a yacht is not a ballroom, you will not be able to keep an eye on your children all the time.

A brief second of unsupervised time is enough for the children to leave the boat unnoticed. The edge prevents this. When choosing the right yacht, the crew also plays an important role if children are traveling with you. A well-trained crew gives you even more security, because they also act as supervisors and always keep an eye on the children.

Shadow on the yacht

Sun, water, vacation, what more could you want? This is the absolutely perfect combination. Despite all the joy, you should not forget that the combination of sun and water can also be tricky. This is especially true if you plan to spend the whole day on the yacht. The risk of getting a sunburn to capture is very large. There are several reasons for this.

It is known that water has the same effect as a mirror. When the yacht is sailing, there is always a cool breeze around you. This means that you hardly feel the heat that is definitely there. In addition, there are far fewer dust particles in the air on the water than on land. However, the dust particles have the property of blocking UV rays. Since there are fewer of them on the water, the UV rays penetrate almost unhindered. All of these factors can lead to that not only you get sunburned, but of course everyone else too. In the worst case, it can even lead to a heatstroke come.

A very good reason to sufficient shade to pay attention if you have a Yacht charter . Of course, you want to enjoy as much of the beautiful sun as possible when you are already at sea, but you should still be careful. This is especially true if you have children with you.

There are many yachts that only have small roofs. Many models do not have a fixed roof at all. However, this does not mean that they are not suitable for excursions, because they can still provide sufficient shade. There is a magic word for this: Bimini Tops . This term refers to Sun canopies , which allow you to create shade in a very short time . Bimini tops can be attached in no time at all and then protect very effectively against UV rays. If you already have a roof, this can also be easily extended using Bimini tops. If you have a If you are chartering a yacht , always pay attention to the options the models offer for providing shaded areas.

Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption also plays a big role when you have a Yacht charter . You should always check whether fuel is already included in the rental price. However, this is not the case with most yachts. Take a close look at how many liters of fuel the yacht consumes per hour, otherwise you could quickly end up with a nasty surprise at the end of the tour.

Here is an example:

You like a yacht that consumes 100 liters of fuel per hour. If you are traveling with this yacht and take a tour with two engine hours, it will consume 200 liters of fuel. Multiply this number by the current fuel price and you will know how much the fuel for the tour will cost you. The price of fuel always fluctuates, so let's assume it is 2 euros per liter. This means that the fuel costs are 400 euros. If you want to charter a yacht where the rental price does not include fuel, you have to add the price to the actual rental price. Bear in mind that the larger a yacht is, the more fuel it usually consumes. Basically, the fuel is always paid for at the end of the day. To avoid unpleasant surprises, always estimate how much the fuel costs will ultimately be.

Yacht draft

Why should you pay attention to the draft of the yacht? Quite simply, the shallower the draft, the closer the yacht can get to the bays and the clearer the water is. What does this mean for you? You don't have to swim from the yacht into the bay, but can enjoy the clear water right away. Some yachts are able to get as close as 70 centimeters to the bay. A good example of this is our Hailey Su . This yacht allows you to stand next to the yacht and easily walk to the beach from there.

Facilities and catering

A trip on a yacht in bright sunshine makes you thirsty. When chartering the yacht, make sure that it has a mini-bar which is always well stocked. our yachts This is always the case. In the minibar you will always sufficient soft drinks find, of course she also holds a few alcoholic drinks ready. And now comes the best part: You do not have to pay extra for the drinks, they are already included in the price.

Things like towels should also be available. This is also a given for us. We even go a step further and have good sunscreen ready. Our trained crew will take care of everything throughout the day so that you have the unforgettable experience you have been dreaming of for so long. Oh, by the way, our crew also speaks English.

Water toys

If you think that toys are only for children, you haven't met our water toys yet. Of course, this isn't about swimming rings and rubber ducks, quite the opposite. The key word is: Seabob . A Seabob is a Diving scooter with an electric drive . This not only allows you to glide over the sea, but also to dive really deep. Great fun for adults and of course for the children too. Many parents are not able to get their children out of the water when they Seabob is provided. Water toys are definitely an enrichment for your yacht experience. When chartering the yacht, make sure that you also have the option to rent water toys such as the Seabob. This will round off the unforgettable experience and you will hear young and old raving about it long after the holiday.
