Three Ways To Experience The Unrivalled Freedom Of A Motor Yacht Charter

By Marissa Velazquez


Whether you prefer action and water sports, exploring, wining and dining or lazy days under the sun with a cocktail, a motor yacht charter will enable you to have the kind of vacation you desire. The vast expanse of the sea coupled with the virtually unlimited freedom offered by a boat makes for an unrivalled holiday adventure. The following is a brief outline of the basic options available for this type of vacation.

A bare boat charter provides the least costly and thus most accessible option. This is an excellent choice families or small parties of vacationers. The lack of professional crew will allow you to fully relax and enjoy the go-anywhere freedom of a boat. There are however some things to keep in mind should you decide upon this option.

This option does require that one person in the boat's party is the designated skipper and is qualified to at least a basic level (e. G. Having an International Certificate of Competence). It will also be a big help if the skipper has some experience of the local waters. Before embarking on the trip, it should be made clear that the skipper is in charge and that everyone on board should (within reason) defer to this person.

Other passengers who are to act as crew must know what their roles are, and be able to carry them out competently. Fun and frolics are fine, but the crew must take their roles seriously when the time comes. The skipper too, must be able to manage the 'crew', which means enforcing a certain level of discipline, making decisions and ensuring safe practise is followed.

A second option to consider is bare-boat-with-skipper. This gives you the benefits of a bare boat charter but with an experienced skipper to smooth the way. This is a superb option if you lack the requisite skills or wish to let someone else take the responsibility. The skipper will operate the boat and allow passengers to help out and learn some basic sea skills.

One massive advantage of this arrangement is the the skipper will be in-the-know as to the best destinations for whatever activities you have in mind. Rest assured, he or she will know the best restaurants, swimming/diving spots and so forth. This can potentially save you much wasted time and effort and is a key benefit to bear in mind.

The most expensive option is to have a skipper with a full compliment of crew. If cost is not a major consideration, then this is without doubt the most luxurious choice. Having the vessel run entirely for your benefit frees you up to relax to the full and enjoy your voyage. A really good skipper and crew will also go a long way to making your stay on board fuss-free and enjoyable.

Overall, a motor yacht charter is without doubt one of the most amazing, memorable ways to vacation. Vessels are available in just about every exotic, fashionable and desirable location one could wish for. Being able to explore such breath-taking places with such freedom and amid the luxury of a modern yacht, makes for a holiday that is like no other.
