“We had a great time in Greece”

We had a great time in Greece, the first three days we had constant 20-25knots of wind, so we were able to do a lot of sailing. The boat was also in good condition and everything in working order…the boat did however look a bit older than a 2018 mode…

Welcome to 12 Knots!

Originally established in 2009 as an international sailing school, the 12 Knots Yachting Club came to fruition out of the owner’s affinity and love for sailing. Inspired by that passion, along with a desire to provide other seafaring enthusiasts the ability to achieve their nautical dreams, 12 Knots has since evolved into one of the leading charter agencies in the industry today.

12 Knots is a distinctly unique yacht charter company because it not only offers clients a vast range of sailboats and powerboats for charter, but it also provides professional charter companies with an international platform to rent out their vessels. We offer our clientele something many of our competitors don’t: the ultimate search engine, featuring a world map with the location of all our charter bases and an up-to-date calendar where you can view all the available dates for the rental yachts you are interested in (very helpful during peak season). If you are looking for a particular boat model, our website also enables you to search for specific brands like Jeanneau, Catana, and more.

Whether you prefer to sail the cool azure waters of the Mediterranean, the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean, the magical waters of the Far East, or the warm inviting waters of the South Pacific, 12 Knots can help you find the perfect yacht to charter that will sail you to your dream destination, as well as suit your budget, special needs, and personal preferences.

Planning a sailing vacation with the family? A romantic getaway? A business retreat? Or perhaps you simply want to head out on a solo trip for some much-needed rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. With our charter yacht company, the choices of rental boat possibilities and destinations are only limited by your imagination and sense of adventure!
