Planning a vacation can be stressful. You need to book a place to stay, arrange tour guides and figure out how you’ll get to your destination. Flying can put even more stress on you and make your vacation unpleasant right from the start.
Planning a yacht vacation is an easy way to avoid travelling related stress. Not only will you get to your vacation destination, but the travel itself will be a luxurious vacation if you are aboard a Super Yacht Charter.
Picking Your Yacht
There are a few steps involved in picking the perfect yacht.
-
Deciding on which dates you will be travelling.
Try to book early as yachts tend to get fully booked very quickly.
-
Find out if the yacht can accommodate the amount of people you have in mind.
It’s also important to check which facilities they have. If you want a luxurious trip, there are companies like Trending which offer yachts with several rooms, trained chefs on board, hot tubs and many other facilities. If you’re a smaller group or you don’t need too many luxuries, you can go for a less extravagant yacht.
-
Pick a destination.
This is obviously very important. This will determine how long you’ll be sailing as well as how many times the yacht will have to stop somewhere for new supplies. Weather along the route will also play a factor. If you’re booking for dates that might have dangerous waters, it could influence the route you’ll be taking and for how long you’ll be sailing. If you’re unsure of where you’d like to go, you can talk to a yacht specialist who will give you the best vacation options for the weather, your yacht and your budget. You end up saving on accommodation since you will be able to return to your yacht each night and sleep there instead of staying in a hotel.
-
Stay within your budget.
Nothing ruins a vacation more than worrying about money. It’s better to pick a smaller yacht and be stress free than to choose a luxury yacht and spend your entire vacation stressing about the costs.
-
Use a yacht charter broker.
This will make the process of planning your vacation much easier. They will be able to give you advice on which type of yacht would be best for you and which destinations you would be most suited to. In most cases, these brokers are free as the yacht rental companies usually offer a commission to the brokers. They will be able to get a good sense of what you want and what your preferences are before they match the crew and the destination to these preferences.
There you have it, everything you need to know in order to have the perfect vacation aboard the yacht. Remember that good planning means that you can fully relax later and don’t shy away from make lots of enquiries and demanding that your needs are met. After all, it’s your vacation and you deserve nothing less.
