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.

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.
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!
