Fancy a luxurious vacation in the sun on the side of a sailboat? Whether you're with family, friends or your significant other, you've come to the right place! Filovent offers private yacht charters with a crew for a luxurious and unique experience!
In the end, the yacht charter with crew is like a floating five-star hotel, just for you!
What types of boats are available for a private yacht charter?
We offer several types of boats to make the most of this 100% personalized adventure: sailing catamarans or power catamarans. Both types of boat meet common demands such as space, comfort and stability. The difference will depend on your sailing preferences.
- The sailing catamaran, in addition to being more responsible for the planet, offers a calmer cruise, without engine noise. Moreover, this type of navigation allows you to experience authentic sailing. What could be better than a peaceful atmosphere to enjoy an aperitif at sunset?
- The power catamaran offers the same luxury but will, of course, be a little noisier. The comfort is still ideal for a relaxing vacation since the noise level of modern engines is relatively low, especially on high-end models. It allows for faster navigation and access to certain destinations. If you can't wait to see the corners of paradise that the cruise has in store for you, this is the ideal option!
- The gulet guarantees an authentic and charming cruise. This wooden boat, typical of the Mediterranean and especially Turkey, combines elegance and comfort. Its traditional sailing trim and peaceful navigation make it an ideal option for discovering picturesque coasts and anchorages, while enjoying a convivial space on board. With its cozy cabins and spacious wooden decks, the gulet is perfect for a relaxing cruise and cultural immersion.
- The yacht is the ultimate luxury experience at sea. Faster and more modern, it allows you to sail freely without the constraints of the wind and to explore several destinations in a short time. Equipped with every imaginable comfort: spacious cabins, top-of-the-range equipment, jacuzzi, dedicated crew, it guarantees an exclusive and tailor-made cruise. Whether for a romantic getaway or a trip with friends, the yacht embodies elegance and sophistication at sea.
What services are offered during a private yacht charter?

Australia:
Explore the incredible waters of the Great Barrier Reef, a diving paradise, or venture into the wilderness where red cliffs, secret rivers and saltwater crocodiles create a unique setting.

Costa Rica:
Between the San Blas Islands, an unspoiled jewel with virgin beaches, and the Pacific coast, rich in marine biodiversity, Panama is an ideal destination for a cruise combining wilderness, indigenous culture and isolated anchorages.
