It’s not easy to find a charter vessel if you have a group of 24 to 40 people. When you want to spend a week on holiday together, you don’t want to have to “break the bank” to do so.
These ships have evolved over the past 30 years, from smaller wooden vessels to some of the most exclusive yachts you can find in the market.
They have 35 to 50 meters LOA and can usually accommodate up to 40 people (plus crew) in 16 or more cabins.
Ships have several decks.
Cabins are air-conditioned with their own private bathrooms and are very comfortable.
Until recently, most of these ships were on cabin charter programs under contract for large tour operators.
This meant you could only book a limited number of cabins on predetermined routes, with limited flexibility about activities and food.
More and more vessels are now exploring the idea of switching from the cruising sector – cabin charters to offering private charter cruises for closed groups.
This is excellent news if you have your own group, as it gives you the chance to:
a. Decide your own route and have more flexibility on a day-by-day basis
b. Organize activities that are more suited to the group’s wishes
c. 100% tailor food and drinks according to the group’s wishes
d. Combine staying in port or staying on anchor
e. Having closer and more genuine relationships with the crew if that’s what the group desires
Chartering an entire yacht just for your group is a great idea and one of the best holidays you can experience.
The price range is extensive and depends on the yacht’s size and the season you are chartering.
However, for a luxury yacht that can accommodate around 35 people in high season, the charter prices range from €40,000 to 80,000 a week, plus extras for food and drinks.
When you calculate this on a per-person basis, this type of holiday will cost you €1,500 to 3,000 per person per week, including everything but flight tickets.
We are experts in organizing these types of holidays, and it will be our pleasure to assist.
