Boat Rental Yacht Charter

What’s nice to know about your next boat rental?

If I don’t have a Skipper License, can I book a charter?

If you don’t have a skipper license, you still can do a yacht charter holiday without it. Most charter companies offer the possibility to hire a skipper. The skipper is responsible for handling the chartered vessel. If you have little seamanship experience, it may also be best to hire a skipper on the water for the first few days. In this way, under the guidance, you will expand your expertise and do not have to bear the sole responsibility. It would help if you considered having a skipper policy to enjoy a carefree holiday on a charter boat. In the case of chartered yachts and passengers, you should guarantee the amount of the charter deposit or liability risk.

What is the difference between a Catamaran and a Monohull?

It depends on many factors whether a single-hull sailboat or a catamaran is the right choice for your charter holiday. Of course, your preferences and requirements are also crucial for your planned water vacation. The ideal yacht charter can also be decisive when selecting the right yacht type.

Should I rent a motor yacht or a sailing boat?

If you don’t know how to sail, you can rent a motor yacht. You can charter motorboats from 5 to 30 meters long with Yachtco, either as a bareboat or with a yacht crew. Croatia, Greece, Italy, or Majorca are the most common charter areas for motorboats in the Mediterranean. Mecklenburg-West Pomerania German lake areas and canals around Berlin are popular for motorboat rental. These destinations are also suitable for a holiday on a houseboat.

Should I charter a brand new yacht?

In general, charter customers prefer new yachts. This is understandable because everyone is thrilled to sail on a modern-style vessel with the latest gadgets on board. A less-used charter vessel is likely to be in better condition than a boat that has been leased for years. But you should also be aware of the risks involved in chartering a brand-new boat: most yacht owners are financing their vessels. If something goes wrong with the funding at the last minute, the vessel could never be shipped.

Due to production delays, the yacht may not be ready on time by the shipyard.

A change from a shipyard to a charter port may result in an accident that would cause serious damage to the vessel.

The required charter license cannot be obtained until the start of the charter season.

Brand-new yachts are still arriving in the first weeks of the charter with some childhood diseases that have slipped through the shipbuilders’ quality control.

All of these reasons show that chartering a vessel that has completed one or two charter seasons is often a safer choice for a charter guest.

TOP 8 Tips to choose the “right” charter boat

1. Focus when choosing the type of boat to suit your charter crew member’s needs.
2. Don’t look for the lowest price ever! Establish a decent budget and set the “best deal” within it.
3. “Dream Yachts” are booked early-don’t depend on your Last Minute Luck.
4. If your budget is tight, look for a good customer review for older yachts.
5. If you want a relaxing cruise, consider hiring a nearby skipper.
6. Just depend on performance certifications that have made their specifications available.
7. The more seasoned you and your crew are, the less critical the special equipment is. Take it easy if you’re lazy or new to sail and choose a roller-reef mainsail.
