Why should you consider a yacht charter under $30,000?

To start with, yacht charters under $30,000 are more like a BnB experience.

Think cozy.

Cozy dining area, cozy cabins, cozy friends. Under $30,000, yachts are smaller in size but offer a level of service where you really get to know your crew, and they become more like friends for life. These are often decorated with the comfortability of the “mom and pop” establishments. Your time with the crew is more personal with storytelling and sharing meals together.

Yacht charters under $30,000 are a great service but don’t go in with the expectation of Michelin star meals, top-shelf liquor, or large roomy sleeping arrangements. You will be less catered to or less maintained- You must go into this with lower expectations and go with that flow feeling as they are not going to clean and fold your laundry every day; it’s more that of a BnB setup, a homey feel.

The quality of towels and sheets is something you might consider important. A higher-end yacht will invest so that you have the best of the best; these style yachts will furnish the yacht with items that are useful and practical. These yachts are nice, but will not be the latest model but older yachts that have had refits over time. Other yachts might consider what time you prefer to eat meals so they can be better in tune with a guest’s needs, whereas when you stay at a BnB, dinner may be served at a set time, whether that’s when you eat or not.

 

What is the starting price for a sailing catamaran yacht charter?

Just the sound of the word yacht charter conjures up images of the rich and famous. Most people are surprised that there are private yachts available for the average traveler. Though prices have increased everywhere, these costs are all-inclusive in the US and the British Virgin Islands, and some in the Bahamas.

So let’s start on the lower end, where a week on a luxury catamaran in the BVI with all meals, beverages, fuel, and amenities, including an open bar, starts at around $3,125 per person.  Take a look at the 51′ sailing catamaran Gambit as an example of this. That is considerably less than what most people expect to pay and competes with the cost of a high-end cruise ship or luxury shoreside resort.

If you are a Ritz Carleton or Four Seasons kind of traveler, then you’d feel most comfortable in a 61’ sailing catamaran like Krazy Kat that charters for $5,300 pp/week all-inclusive. Or wide open space, 80′ Seaclusion that charters for $10,600 pp/week all-inclusive.

Motor yachts:

Motor yachts tend to be more expensive than sailing catamarans for two reasons – they are typically more expensive to buy, and the size is typically bigger.  Fuel adds to the charter expenses as well. A 64′ power cat like Jans Felion that charters for $5,000 pp/week all-inclusive in the BVI. In the Bahamas, motor yachts start closer to $6,000/pp/week plus expenses and if you are lucky to snatch it up, all-inclusive.

Superyachts:

Superyachts – yachts 90’ or larger- can cost from $12,000/pp/week to $50,000/pp/wk plus expenses. Again, the rate varies widely according to the newness of the yacht, the technology, the artwork and design, and the equipment inventory. We have superyachts for all budgets!
