Crewed Sailing Charter
Most people believe a crewed sailing charter is out of their reach financially. But, you'd be amazed at the incredible price range for a crewed yacht, from around $5,000 per week for 6 to 8 people on up to a luxury crewed sailing charter with all the bells and whistles for over $250,000 per week.
When considering a crewed sailing charter, we recommend going through a charter agent who is a member of AYCA, the American Yacht Charter Association, or CYBA, the Charter Yacht Brokers Association. The following agents are highly recommended for bareboat yacht charters:
Ed Hamilton & Company: For the fourth year in a row Ed Hamilton was chosen the best agent for booking Caribbean charters by Conde' Nast Traveler Magazine. Their website is ed-hamilton.com. You can go look at some of their charters, many of which are quite reasonable.
R.N.R. Yacht Charters: In business since 1988, will not recommend any yacht personally unless they've inspected the yacht. Books motor and sailing yachts, week-long as well as day cruises. Website is rnryachts.com.

What You Need To Know

Crewed sailing charters are available to take you to sights you only dreamed about. These charters include staying on a yacht for a week at a time and dropping anchor in exotic ports of call. While at sea, you don't need to lift a finger nor do you need to know how to handle as sailing yacht. This is what you hire the crew for - so you can sit back and relax. When you make the decision to book one of the many crewed sailing charters available, you have to decide where you want to go and what you want to see and do.
The fee you pay for crewed sailing charters may be different depending on the part of the world where you want to charter a sailing yacht. In North America, the cost includes the rent of the yacht, the fee for the captain and the crew, as well as insurance that you pay just in case of an accident. In addition to this cost, if you charter a crewed sailing yacht the cost of the provisions, berthing fees and fuel are extras and you do need to pay them when you arrive back at the starting port. In the Mediterranean, the cost of a crewed sailing charter also includes fuel, berthing charges and water that you need to have on board the yacht.
When you start looking at the types of charter yachts, you can choose either motor or sail crewed charters. If you choose crewed sailing charters, you will experience the thrill of sailing slowly along the ocean. This is often the choice of couples who want to experience the romance of the sea. The number of people that will be going with you on the crewed sailing yacht will also determine the type of boat you need to charter. A crewed yacht is generally available for charter for a week, but you can also book these charters on a daily basis. The length of time you choose for the charter will determine the number of places that you get to visit.
When you make up your budget for crewed yacht charters, you have to include the cost of return airfare to the destination where you will board the sailing yacht. Look at what the charter company includes in its costs and then make allowances for food, fuel, anchorage and of course shopping and entertainment in the various places you dock. Then when you total this list you can determine whether or not a crewed sailing yacht is within your budget. Usually people plan for this type of vacation several years in advance and save up the money they will need to book the charter.
Once you make the booking for crewed yacht charters, the company will send you a contract to sign. When you return the signed contract, you will also have to make a 25% - 50% deposit on the reservation or you may have to make this deposit even before you receive the contract. There will also be a detailed questionnaire for you to complete so that the crew will be able to provide you with the vacation you are looking for. You will have to pay the balance of the cost of crewed yacht charters one month prior to your departure date. This way the only extra money you have to take with you is what you plan to spend while on vacation.
