What are the most popular brands for a yacht charter?

Nautal´s boat owners offer a range of different yacht brands and models to rent. The three well-known yacht brands Nautal offers are Jeanneau, Beneteau, and Bavaria. Moreover, other brands include Silverton, Mangusta, Pershing, Baglietto, and more!

It is important to note however that most yachts are chosen for their quality and high spec conditions which make them so unique.

What should I consider when chartering a yacht?

You should first consider how long you want to charter a yacht for, the size, and what activities you and your group may enjoy doing. When renting a boat of this type, the size of the yacht is very important since this will determine how long the yacht charter can be. Most 25-meter (82 ft) yachts are chartered on a weekly basis. Shorter private charters are only available in last-minute bookings, or for smaller yachts that do offer daily charter rates. You can also charter yachts with a captain and crew, who take care of every detail to make your holiday an unforgettable experience. Crewed charter yachts allow you and your family or friends to fully enjoy and relax with your dream boat vacation. Check with the owner if the captain and crew are included in the yacht charter prices!

How much does a yacht rental cost?

Yacht rental prices vary depending on your luxury yacht charter choice. Features that make the price vary are the season, size of the yacht, manufacturer, and more! A yacht charter in the low season can cost anywhere from $1,500 a day and $10,000 per week. In high season yacht rental costs from $1,800 per day and $12,487 per week. The price will increase the more luxurious and extravagant you choose your yacht rental to be. For example, megayachts over 165 ft can cost $500,000 or more per week. A yacht charter cost can also have additional and inclusive rates. Depending on the owner´s boat rental offer, the skipper and crew can be included or be an additional cost. Just imagine your luxury yacht charter with delicious food and drinks for your whole family to enjoy. Each charter experience is different so speak to the owner of the boat for more information on what is included in the price and what type of yacht you are looking for.

Where to rent a yacht?

Nautal charters yachts all around the world with many options available on the Amalfi Coast, Mykonos , Costa Azul, Porto Cervo, and beautiful Ibiza . You can also charter a yacht in the Caribbean, Croatia , or Greece . You can spend your vacation on a yacht, celebrate your birthday, organize a party, and more! Check out our different yacht charter destinations!

What does a yacht charter rate include and what additional fees can I expect to pay?

For one-week megayacht charters, the price is usually given without Taxes. Taxes range significantly by destination and will vary if more than one country is visited. You will also need to pay for an estimated running of expenses paid by an Advance Provisioning Allowance, or APA. Expenses include fuel (the largest cost in yacht rentals), food and beverages, port fees, etc. APA typically accounts for between 25% and 35% of the charter price, and with it, the captain will pay all holiday expenses. Whatever is not used will be returned to the customer after the charter. Finally, you will need to consider the tip for the crew, which is a percentage of the rental price, approximately 10% in Europe and 15% in the US. This is highly recommended since a professional and trained crew has a direct impact on the success of the holidays.

Do I need a license to charter a yacht?

If you want to be the one who sails the yacht, you will need the Yachtmaster Ocean license or the equivalent, depending on the country. However, if you want to sail in luxury and comfort you can charter the yacht with a captain and crew. On the Nautal platform, yachts over 50 ft are chartered with a captain, except for some yacht charters located in Croatia. This is because the yachts are very expensive and the risk of damage for the owner is very high. Also during the high season, the yacht owners often cannot get them repaired easily without an advanced booking.

How much does it cost to charter a yacht?

There are many things to consider and first time charterers can be left confused, that's why we've created a comprehensive guide to yacht charter prices (with a checklist).

The good news: It’s easy to grasp the basics of yacht charter pricing. And with one of our experts in your corner, we can help you more accurately estimate the cost of your next once-in-a-lifetime vacation.

The cost of a yacht charter is dependent on a number of factors, including the type of yacht, the charter destination, local taxes, and the base cost. (If the yacht has a celebrity owner, well that too, can add to the cost.)

Therefore, yacht charters have a wide range of base prices. That’s why charters can cost from $10,000 per week on smaller sailing yachts and catamarans, up to $150,000+ per week on the most luxurious motor superyachts.

What else can you expect to pay? This overview – a part of our planning resource, the Charter Advice Guide – offers an in-depth look at charter yacht costs.

Yacht Charter Price Structure: “All-Inclusive” vs “Plus Expenses”

In the world of yachting, two types of crewed yacht charters are available to you – “All-Inclusive” and “Plus Expenses” charter experiences. What do these terms mean exactly? Here’s a quick look:

• All-Inclusive Yacht Charters – Some charters (mainly catamaran and monohull charters in the Virgin Islands) offer all-inclusive rates. That means rates are based on the number of guests, and they include all food and drink, water sports, and fuel costs. Dockage and taxes, though, are usually charged separately.
• Plus Expenses Charters – Rates for larger motor yachts do not include running expenses, which must be paid separately. For these luxury charters, the base price is for the yacht only. Additional expenses, i.e. food, bar, fuel, dockage, port taxes, and other expenses, are charged separately. Most frequently, the running expenses are paid by an Advance Provisioning Allowance, or APA, which is typically 35% of the base price; this is an amount that’s paid prior to the charter.

Our chart below offers a quick overview of what’s included in both of these types of charters.

Average Yacht Charter Cost: Base Prices

What can you expect to pay for a catamaran, a sailing vessel, or motored yacht? Here’s a quick overview of the average cost to rent a yacht (not including extra expenses) for the most common types available:

Factors that Affect Yacht Charter Prices

Since charter yachts are privately owned, prices are set by the owner. This can explain, in part, the wide range of differences in price between boats of similar lengths. Yet, several other factors can significantly impact price, including:

• The Yacht – The year the boat was built, the builder, previous owners, and the boat’s selection of water toys can also increase the cost of a yacht. Boats can also develop a reputation, i.e. the largest or most luxurious, or having a famous builder or previous owner. Reputation can also affect pricing.
• Season – Prices typically increase in the high season – i.e. high summer in the Mediterranean or winter in the Caribbean – and decrease in low seasons.
• Destination – Your charter destination also plays a role in charter cost. For example, prices increase in areas without large charter fleets (i.e. the Galapagos), whereas Bahamas yacht charters,   BVI charters , or Mediterranean yacht charter are priced more competitively.

Additional Costs Considerations on Yacht Charter

In addition to the cost associated with running the yacht and provisioning, there are a number of other costs that must be considered. These are the most significant:

Advanced Provisioning Allowance

The APA on Plus Expenses charters equals roughly 35% of the yacht’s base price. This is a fee that’s collected prior to charter, and it’s similar to an expense account the captain can access during the charter. At the end of the charter, you will receive a detailed accounting of your APA account, plus any unused APA funds in cash.

In the case of overages, you may be required to replenish the APA account during the charter. This can be done with cash, although many choose to set up accounts with their charter brokers , which can be accessed if requested by the captain.

Taxes and Value Added Tax (VAT)

Most boats – whether all-inclusive or Plus Expenses – will not include local taxes or a Value Added Tax into their charter rate. The charterer will be responsible for paying those taxes. Taxes range significantly by destination; here’s a look at some of yachting’s most popular destinations:

• The Bahamas – Tax: 4% plus 10% VAT
• BVI – Tax: between $6 and $16 per person per day, depending on the flag of the boat
• Croatia – VAT: 13%
• Florida – Tax: 6% for Broward County, 7% for Miami-Dade County
• France – VAT: 20%, however, 10% can be applied when an itinerary includes International Waters
• Greece – VAT: 12%
• Italy – VAT: 22%, however 6.6% (over 24m) and 8.8% (under 24m) can be applied when an itinerary includes International Waters
• Montenegro – NO VAT
• New England – NO TAX
• Spain – VAT: 21%
• Turkey – NO VAT

Charterers can purchase cancellation and curtailment insurance – which is similar to traveler’s insurance. This insurance can help cover costs if a charterer must cancel or shorten the charter. Charter brokers can help you weigh insurance options, and often offer several different options.

Crew Gratuity

While crew gratuity is certainly not mandatory, it is recommended, particularly if you were truly impressed with your charter experience. In general, crew gratuity is roughly 15-20% of the base charter rate, which is handed to the captain at the conclusion of your charter.

Delivery Fees

While these fees do not apply on most charters, you may be asked to pay delivery costs if you are not chartering in the yacht’s normal cruising ground. In most cases, you will only be required to cover the fuel for the trip.

Additional Charter Cost FAQs

What are standard private charter yacht prices?

There are a number of factors that affect charter yacht pricing. However, on average, a week-long private yacht charter costs anywhere from $10,000 on luxurious sailing yachts and catamarans, and up to $150,000 for superyachts.

What affects charter yacht prices?

There are several things that influence how much your yacht charter will cost. The type of vessel, charter destination, length of trip, base cost, time of year, and local taxes all make a difference.

How much does it cost for a crewed vessel?

Charter yacht prices do increase when hiring a crew along with the boat. At Worldwide Boat, we offer two types of crewed charter experiences: all-inclusive and plus expenses. An all-inclusive charter yacht includes accommodation for all guests, food and drink, water sport activities, and fuel costs – dockage fees and taxes are charged separately. A plus expenses experience accounts for just the yacht’s base price. Things like food, drinks, fuel, dockages, taxes, and other expenses are charged separately and are usually estimated to be about 35% of the base price.

What’s included in all-inclusive boat charters?

At Worldwide Boat, your all-inclusive charter experience includes a diligent and friendly crew, water toys, food, drinks, fuel, water and electric services, and occasionally diving experiences.

What are some additional charter boat costs to consider?

After finding a base price you’re comfortable with and evaluating your package, you’ll also want to consider delivery fees, crew gratuity, insurance fees, taxes, and Advanced Provisioning Allowance rates. If you are responsible for these fees, your crew will handle the necessary transactions on your behalf.

What does it cost to rent a 100- foot yacht charter?

This depends on what type of vessel you’re looking at and how long you’ll need it for. The average weekly cost of a 100-foot sailing yacht is between $50,000-100,000. A weekly 80-foot catamaran charter runs around $40,000-100,000, and a week-long 100-foot motor yacht rental is anywhere between $50,000-80,000.

Does the price to rent a yacht change depending on what type of boat it is?

Yes. Worldwide Boat offers sailing yachts, catamarans, and motor yachts. All of these vessels have different capabilities, but there are other factors that determine the price beyond what type of boat you choose. The year the boat was built, owner, availability of water toys, onboard amenities, and the ship’s reputation can all change how much the ship is priced at.

When is the high season for yacht charters?

The price of a yacht fluctuates depending on the season. A Mediterranean yacht charter cost rises in the summer and drops in the winter, whereas Caribbean boat charter prices are high during the winter and lower in the summer months.

How does my destination affect charter yacht cost?

The more remote an area is, the more expensive it will be to charter a yacht there. That’s because prices go up in areas that have fewer boats. If you were to travel somewhere like the Galapagos, which isn’t a typical yacht destination, you’d pay more than you would if you were traveling to the Caribbean.

How much do I tip the crew when reviewing my yacht charter expenses?

It’s not required that you tip your crew, but it is recommended and appreciated. If you had an enjoyable experience it’s considered polite to tip your crew anywhere from 15-20% at the end of your charter.

Conveniently Rent a Boat Using Boatsetter

• By Pete McDonald
• May 16, 2024

Flying into Miami International Airport on a winter morning, I looked out the window to the waters of Biscayne Bay shimmering and light-blue like the Caribbean, and it’s not a stretch to say that the water was calling me. I had just left a snowstorm in the Northeast that had delayed my outbound flight, and all I could think about was feeling the warm breeze on my face as I cruised through downtown Miami, taking in the sights and sounds of the city by boat. The only issue? My family’s boats were all sitting winterized in our boat garage, trapped inside by over a foot of snow blocking the access road. To get even one to this point would have involved a lot of plowing and shoveling and a three-day drive through inclement weather—not an ideal scenario for spending one day of subtropical boating. 

Fortunately, there’s another way to boat, one that works the same as the Airbnb app I used to book lodging for my warm-weather excursion. I had used the boat-sharing platform Boatsetter to book a Sea Ray 270 Sundeck for a day on the water, and in a short time I’d be sitting at the helm, taking in the beauty of South Florida.

Boatsetter is one of the peer-to-peer apps that allows boat owners to rent out their boat to other people when they’re not using it, and because most boaters get on the water only about 40 hours per year, it’s a way to keep your boat in the water—and even make money when you’re not using it. For users, it’s a way to go boating anywhere you want to try, without worrying about your own boat. I decided to give it a go to see how it could work for everyone.

Shared Experience

I arrived at the dock in Miami Beach, ready to get out on the Sea Ray 270 and experience my day in Biscayne Bay. While I was waiting under swaying palm trees for the day to start, the actual experience started weeks beforehand when I opened the Boatsetter app and put in the type of boat I was looking to use. I had my choice of center-consoles for fishing, cruisers, and others put forth by a variety of people, but I settled on this Sea Ray, offered on the app by a boat owner named Capt. M. The Sea Ray is the perfect choice for a day of cruising, exploring and even beaching the boat. With one touch on my screen, I started the entire process of having the boat ready to go when I arrived.

Boat-sharing apps such as Boatsetter and GetMyBoat are not new; both arose out of the sharing culture that came on the heels of peer-to-peer businesses such as Uber, Airbnb and VRBO.  Boatsetter opened for business in 2012 and now lists more than 50,000 boats in more than 700 locations as available to book for its users. The key to making this all possible is the insurance put in place through Geico that covers both the boat owner and the boat renter while the boat is on the water. (A full breakdown of the app’s Geico policy is available to read on boatsetter.com .)

“Insurance is a big part of our offering,” says Boatsetter CEO Michael Farb. “It’s something we’re really proud of.” 

Without the insurance coverage, no sane boat owner would offer up their pride and joy to the general public and take the risk that everything would go smoothly every time. And who would want to rent a boat from someone knowing that they might be on the hook should something unfortunate happen? This is why Boatsetter’s founder, Jaclyn Baumgarten, made working with insurance companies to create peer-to-peer coverage a priority before the first boat was ever booked through the Boatsetter app.

When I worked through booking my Sea Ray with Capt. M, I was led to a page where I had to sign a series of documents to ensure that the coverage was in place. Then I could book the boat and get out and enjoy my day.

Sharing Your Boat

Capt. M, who owns the Sea Ray 270 I’d be taking, is actually Mylene Garot, who uses Boatsetter to run a small fleet of rental boats in Miami with her husband, Frank. She originally posted two boats on Boatsetter to see what would happen.

“It did so well that I started buying more boats,” she says. 

The Garots now rent six boats in total through their rental business and get almost half their bookings in Miami through the Boatsetter app.

“What I love about them, as an owner, is that there’s no pressure,” Garot says. “If your boat is unavailable, Boatsetter works to find a replacement for the user. They also make it very easy to be compliant with the Coast Guard and the insurance companies.”

When I stepped on board from the dock, the Sea Ray was clean, well-maintained and full of fuel. The first thing the Garots did was go over all of the safety equipment and the procedures for calling for help if needed. They also gave a rundown of the local rules of the road and where some of the best places were to sightsee by water. Were I to need assistance, Boatsetter has an agreement with BoatUS for towing services on the water.

The Garots are unique in that they were able to use boat-sharing to create a bona fide rental business, but what about the typical boat owner?

“Our biggest growth is in boat owners wanting to rent their boat,” Farb says.

“Owning a boat is expensive, and this is a great way to make money from an asset that they don’t use as much as they’d like.”

As any boat owner knows, boat engines run better if they’re used more frequently, and long stretches sitting in a slip or on a trailer can lead to as many problems as overuse. Most people don’t think in those terms though, but rather in covering the expenses it takes to own and maintain a boat. Storage, docking, insurance, fuel, maintenance—it all adds up.

Just like ski-condo or vacation-home owners, people put their boats on Boatsetter with few expectations other than to defray some of those costs. Some people, such as the Garots, actually turn it into a profitable business. For a single-boat owner who rents their boat through the app on a regular basis, Boatsetter estimates that they could make up to around $20,000 per year. 

But I didn’t care about that. I just wanted to get on the water and go boating.

Taking the Ride

I’ve been boating pretty much my entire life, and feel comfortable at the helm of almost any boat in all kinds of conditions, but in booking this trip, I decided to try an option that Boatsetter now offers its users—the chance to go with a professional captain . It’s an option available for app users and boat owners alike, as a way to add another level of safety during the day’s experience.

“We now have a huge network of USCG-approved captains,” Farb says. “It’s not for everybody, but it’s great for new boaters and for people not as experienced or to boat on unfamiliar waters.”

Capt. M works with six licensed captains, and for my trip, I chose Thibault Cazals, a captain with several years’ experience in running local boat tours, at a rate of $40 per hour. I had originally planned to take the boat out through Government Cut and cruise along the local beaches, but a steady offshore wind and a small-craft advisory necessitated that we have a Plan B. For this reason alone, Capt. Cazals proved indispensable.

He asked what type of experience I’d like to have, and I mentioned seeing the city of Miami’s skyline by boat, gawking at all of the ridiculously large houses on the water, finding a place to beach the boat and go for a dip, and stopping at a local dockside restaurant. Within minutes, he had a plan in place to meet my requests in the time we had aboard the Sea Ray 270 Sundeck. 

“There’s DJ Khaled’s house,” he noted as we idled through the local waterways on our way out to Biscayne Bay. It’s something I never would have noticed on my own. Khaled is known for hanging out on his docks or running his Sea-Doos all over Miami, but, alas, on this day, he was nowhere to be seen.

We motored past several other eye-popping houses of both public and private figures and made our way into Biscayne Bay. With the wind picking up steam, Cazals knew the perfect route to take along the Miami Beach shoreline so that we were always in the calm waters of the lee. We cruised past Lido Bayside, the waterside restaurant we’d planned to stop by on our way home, and through the Venetian Islands, then made our way to Flagler Memorial Island. It’s a public park with walking trails that lead to the Flagler Memorial Monument—a 110-foot-tall obelisk in the island’s center dedicated to Henry Flagler, the man responsible for developing Miami and much of South Florida. Cazals idled us to the western side of the island that featured white-sand beaches and shallow, protected water for a dip. We beached the boat and did some exploring, noting the gigantic cruise ship docked behind us in Government Cut. After a short stint there, we idled around the area, taking in the sights on Star, Memorial and Hibiscus islands. From there, it’s a short run to Fisher Island, Virginia Key and Key Biscayne, and beyond that, the famous Stiltsville: a collection of houses built on stilts in the middle of Biscayne Bay. We had hours of exploration in front of us, only to be curbed by my desire to swing by Lido Bayside. While I truly enjoyed my day on the water in the Sea Ray 270 Sundeck, the experience made me think of another benefit. If you’re looking to buy a boat, you can book through a sharing app and try out several different types of boats before deciding which is the best fit for you. I had the option to book everything from a center-console to a walkaround, a performance boat to a pontoon , or even a watersports boat to give wakesurfing a go. 

For boaters, using a sharing app such as Boatsetter is a way to explore waters beyond where you keep your boat. It’s also a way to “try before you buy” if you’re looking to upgrade or get started in the sport. For boat owners, it’s a way to keep your boat in use and offset some of the costs inherent in boating. When it works the way it did on my trip to Biscayne Bay, everybody wins.
