how does a yacht charter work?

To charter a yacht is the lease or rental of a motor yacht  for an agreed period of time, usually a week in the case of luxury yacht charters for holidays in the popular Bahamas. Yachts can also be chartered for corporate events, special occasions  or just for fun.

most common Types of Yachts for Charter?

THE TWO MOST COMMON TYPES ARE MOTOR YACHTS AND SAILING YACHTS.

Motor yachts tend to have more on board amenities and are capable of far greater speeds: Sporty open yachts might reach speeds over 50 knots when the average is under 20 knots.


 Sailing yachts are typically much slower than motor yachts but offer a more 'traditional' cruising experience, and classic and high performance regatta racers also fall into this category. The majority of catamarans (two hulls) are also sailing yachts and offer greater stability and a shallower draft for closer access to beaches.
