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?

A crew at the side of the boat is a bit like having a magic wand at sea: everything is taken care of while you enjoy your cocktail in the sun. Need a tasty meal? It's ready. Smooth sailing? Managed.

He knows the best places, far from the tourist traps! Depending on your preferences, he can share the basics of navigation with you! Curious to learn how to steer or hoist a sail? He will be happy to initiate you! And for sea enthusiasts, he can tell you some maritime stories and anecdotes that will add a touch of adventure to your cruise.

Made using fresh, high-quality products, they will delight young and old alike throughout your vacation.
• Nautical equipment: Yacht charter with crew has the advantage of having all the necessary equipment, fully adaptable to all types of needs.

The Indian Ocean:

Set a course for the Seychelles, the Maldives or Mauritius, to dive into the heart of a crystalline lagoon and coral reefs that offer an idyllic setting. Perfect for a relaxing cruise between deserted beaches, snorkeling and tropical landscapes.

When to go: The countries of the Indian Ocean, such as the Maldives, the Seychelles and Mauritius, share a tropical climate similar to that of the Caribbean, with warm temperatures all year round, a sunny dry season and a wet season marked by a few showers, but always conducive to getting away from it all.

The Pacific:

From French Polynesia to the Fiji Islands, the Pacific is an invitation to travel between swimming in translucent waters, lush mountains and Polynesian traditions. A cruise here is a real getaway out of time.

When to go: May to October is the ideal time to escape to the Pacific, with a drier climate, pleasant temperatures and calm seas, perfect for sailing and water sports.

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.

- Northern Australia: Fancy exploring Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory? Visit during the summer to enjoy the climate and strolls through the heart of the city.

- Western Australia: If you dream of heavenly beaches and pleasant temperatures, go in November or December, the perfect months to enjoy the coastline in the sun.

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.

When to go: The best time to go to Panama is from January to April, during the dry season, when the climate is sunny with very little rain. The sea is warm (27 to 28°C), ideal for the beach, diving and surfing.

On the other hand, to observe the wildlife, especially the whales and quetzals, the period from June to October can also be a good option, despite the weather being more humid but still with good temperatures.
