Herzlich willkomen bei My Charter

Die profunden Kenntnisse des Yachtcharter - Marktes von Rolf Krapf und sein persönlicher Erfahrungsschatz - über 35‘000 Hochseemeilen auf unzähligen Yachten - sind Garant für eine professionelle, fachkompetente und unabhängige Kundenberatung. So können Sie als Kunde die perfekte Segel-Reise Ihrer Wunschträume erleben.

Unter der Marke my charter™ bieten wir weltweit Yachtcharter - Destinationen an, von bareboat bis crewed Yachtcharter.

Wir vermitteln Segelyachten, Motorboote sowie Flussboote in allen Grössen und Übergrössen - mit Schwerpunkt Segelyachten, überall auf der Welt, wo es schöne Gewässer zu befahren gibt. Die von uns vermittelten Yachten sind in optimalem technischen Zustand.

Weiter umfasst unser Angebot auch Einzelplätze auf Schiffen - sogenannte Kojencharter. Diese sind bei Einsteigern sehr beliebt, um ihre für den Hochseeausweis notwendigen Seemeilen zu erreichen und die entsprechende Erfahrung auf See zu sammeln.

my charter™ entführt Sie in Yachtcharter - Traumreviere rund um den Globus:

Falls Sie sich für das Mittelmeer interessieren - von den Balearen bis zur Türkei über die Côte d'Azur und Korsika, Italien (Sardinien , Sizilien , Toscana), Malta, Kroatien , Zyperne und Griechenland  - ein Törn, zum Beispiel in der windreichen Ägäis, ist ein wunderschönes Erlebnis. Mögen Sie es vielleicht sportlicher, dann finden Sie, wenige Stunden von zuhause entfernt, das entsprechende Angebot am Atlantik oder der Nordsee. Von den Kap Verden und den Kanaren über die spanische und französische Atlantikküste, von der Bretagne über Holland, England, Irland und Schottland bis in den hohen Norden, die rauhere See und die Gezeiten werden Ihre seglerische und navigatorische Künste in Anspruch nehmen. Wenn Sie als Naturliebhaber und Navigationsinteressierte einen Leckerbissen suchen, dann bietet sich Ihnen die Ostsee an, von Schweden über Finnland, mit ihren abertausend Schäreninseln, bis nach Deutschland und Dänemark. Bereisen Sie die Karibik, von Florida nach Brasilien, über die Bahamas , Kuba, Belize, BVI's, die Leeward Islands, St-Martin, Antigua, Guadeloupe  und die Windward Islands: Martinique , St-Lucia, St-Vincent , Canouan bis hinunter nach Grenada, Belize und Venezuela. Dort erwarten Sie glasklare Gewässer, Tropensonne und Passatwinde. Wer die wilden Küsten und Fjorde des Pazifiks bevorzugt, wählt die Westküste Kanadas und der USA oder lässt sich von der kargen Schönheit von Baja Californa bezaubern. Auch die naturverwöhnten Perlen der Südsee - Tahiti mit seinem französischen Flair, das Königreich der Inselgruppe Tonga, Neukaledonien mit seinem französichem Charme - sowie "Down under" mit Neuseeland und  Australien  sind einen Besuch wert. Für Abenteurer mit Sehnsucht nach unberührten Chartergebieten empfiehlt sich das chinesisches Meer mit den exotischen Inseln der Ostküste Thailands und Malaysias. Natürlich darf eine Reise in den Indischen Ozean nicht fehlen. Die malerischen thailändische und malaysische Westküste, die paradiesischen Seychellen , das bunte Mauritius und das ursprüngliche Madagaskar, lassen jedes Seglerherz höher schlagen. Wenn Sie sich für unser Package "alles aus einer Hand" entscheiden, nimmt Ihnen my charter™ die Organisationssorgen von A bis Z ab. Wir kümmern uns auch um die Anreise, die Hotelunterkunft und den Transfer von und zum Flughafen. Damit können Sie sich als Skipper ganz entspannen und sich voll auf Ihren wertvollen Yachtcharter - Urlaub freuen, ob Sie diesen nun auf eine Segelyacht, ein Motorboot oder ein Flussboot verbringen.

Egal wohin Sie mit my charter™ fahren, ein Charter ist und bleibt eine unvergesslich schöne Erinnerung.

Yacht Chartering 101: What You Need to Know Before Your First Voyage

Embark on a nautical adventure and set sail into the realm of yacht chartering. Navigate through the vast sea of options, carefully selecting your vessel for the ultimate experience. From planning the perfect itinerary to packing essentials, this guide will equip you with the knowledge needed to navigate the world of yacht chartering. Discover the ins and outs of crewed yacht charters, ensuring a seamless voyage. Join us as we uncover the safety protocols and etiquette for a truly innovative and unforgettable journey.

Types of Yachts: Exploring Your Options

What are the different types of yachts available for charter and what factors should you consider when choosing the right one for your voyage? When it comes to yacht chartering, there is a wide range of options to consider. Yachts come in various sizes, from small to large, each offering its own advantages and disadvantages. Motor yachts, for example, provide the convenience of speed and power, allowing you to easily explore different destinations . However, they can be more expensive to operate and maintain. On the other hand, sailing yachts offer the allure of wind-powered voyages, providing a more authentic and eco-friendly experience. They may require more skill to operate, but can offer a sense of serenity and connection to nature. Luxury yachts, as the name suggests, offer extravagant amenities and unparalleled comfort. From jacuzzis and helipads to gourmet kitchens and spacious lounges, these yachts are designed to provide the ultimate in indulgence. Lastly, when choosing a yacht design, you must consider whether to opt for a catamaran or a monohull . Catamarans offer stability and spaciousness, while monohulls provide better performance and a traditional sailing experience. Ultimately, the right yacht for your voyage depends on your personal preferences, budget, and desired experience.

Planning Your Itinerary: Destinations and Routes

When planning your yacht charter itinerary, it is essential to carefully consider the destinations and routes you wish to explore. Whether you prefer a leisurely cruise or an adventurous sail, there are endless options to discover hidden gems around the world.

Time management is crucial when planning your itinerary. Research the distance between destinations and factor in travel time to ensure a well-paced journey. It is also important to allocate enough time at each stop to fully experience the local culture and attractions.

Budgeting is another key aspect to consider. Some destinations may have higher docking fees or require additional permits, so it is important to plan accordingly. Keep in mind that some areas offer more affordable options for provisioning and fueling, which can help manage costs.

One of the highlights of yacht chartering is indulging in local cuisine. Explore restaurants, markets, and street food vendors along your chosen route to savor the flavors of the region. Immerse yourself in the local culture by trying traditional dishes and experiencing the vibrant dining scene.

Respecting the Yacht and Its Facilities

Adhering to proper etiquette is essential when it comes to respecting the yacht and its facilities during your charter experience. Whether you’re a first-time charterer or a seasoned sailor, it’s important to be mindful of the maintenance expectations set by the yacht’s crew. This includes keeping the yacht clean and tidy, and reporting any damages or issues promptly.

When it comes to watersports etiquette, it’s crucial to be respectful of other guests and the marine environment. Avoid excessive noise and be mindful of speed limits and no-wake zones. Additionally, follow eco-friendly practices by not throwing any trash or waste overboard and using designated areas for fueling and waste disposal.

Proper use of onboard amenities is also important. Treat the yacht’s facilities with care and respect. Follow any guidelines provided by the crew for using the swimming pool, hot tub, or gym equipment. Take care not to damage or misuse any equipment or appliances.

Lastly, handling personal belongings is crucial to maintaining a seamless charter experience. Keep personal items organized and avoid leaving them in common areas. Use designated storage spaces and be mindful of others’ personal space.

Following Safety Protocols and Guidelines

• Ensure compliance with safety protocols and guidelines to maintain a secure and well-organized yacht charter experience. Safety is paramount when it comes to enjoying a yacht charter. To ensure a seamless experience, it is essential to follow all safety protocols and guidelines. Here are some key areas to focus on:
• Emergency procedures: Familiarize yourself with the emergency procedures onboard the yacht. Know the location of emergency exits, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits. In the event of an emergency, remain calm and follow the instructions of the crew.
• Evacuation protocols: Understand the evacuation protocols and know where the life rafts are located. Familiarize yourself with the procedures for launching and boarding the life rafts, should the need arise.
• Life jacket usage: Wear a life jacket whenever you are on the deck or participating in water activities . Ensure that the life jacket fits properly and is fastened securely.
• Fire safety measures: Follow all fire safety measures and guidelines provided by the crew. This includes not smoking in restricted areas and being cautious when using electrical equipment.
• Navigation rules: Observe the navigation rules and guidelines to maintain a safe environment for everyone on board. This includes respecting other vessels’ right of way, maintaining a safe distance, and adhering to speed limits.

Being Mindful of Noise Levels and Privacy

When it comes to yacht charter etiquette, it is important to be mindful of noise levels and respect the privacy of others on board. Cabin decorum plays a crucial role in creating a harmonious environment for everyone. Noise restrictions are often in place to ensure a peaceful experience for all passengers. It is essential to adhere to these guidelines and keep noise levels to a minimum, especially during quiet hours.

Respecting privacy boundaries is equally important. Remember that even though you may be sharing a yacht with others, everyone deserves their personal space. Avoid intruding on others’ cabins without permission, and be mindful of their need for solitude. If you need to discuss something important or have a gathering, consider using common areas instead of disturbing others in their private quarters.

To enhance privacy and minimize noise disruption, yacht charters often invest in soundproofing measures. These can include insulated walls and doors to minimize sound transmission between cabins. By being conscious of noise levels and respecting privacy boundaries, you contribute to a more enjoyable and seamless experience for all on board.

Proper Dining and Table Manners

To ensure a seamless yacht charter experience, it is crucial to practice proper dining and table manners, maintaining the same level of mindfulness and respect as demonstrated in previous subtopics. Dining on a yacht requires a certain level of etiquette to create an enjoyable atmosphere for all guests. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

• Seating arrangements: Follow the guidance of the crew when it comes to seating arrangements. Wait for the host or hostess to indicate where you should sit, and avoid switching seats without permission.
• Utensil usage: Start with the outermost utensils and work your way in as each course is served. Use the appropriate utensils for each dish, and remember to hold them properly.
• Napkin etiquette: Place your napkin on your lap as soon as you are seated. Use it to wipe your mouth and hands discreetly, and remember to place it neatly on the table when you leave.
• Proper use of glassware: Familiarize yourself with the different types of glassware and their purposes. Use the appropriate glass for each beverage, and hold it by the stem to avoid smudging the glass.
• Polite conversation topics: Engage in pleasant and light-hearted conversation. Avoid controversial or sensitive topics to maintain a harmonious atmosphere.

Tipping and Showing Appreciation to the Crew

Showing appreciation to the crew on a yacht charter is best done by generously tipping for their exceptional service. When it comes to gratuity expectations, it is customary to tip between 10-20% of the total charter cost. However, if the crew has gone above and beyond to ensure your comfort and enjoyment, it is perfectly acceptable to tip more.

In addition to monetary gratuity, there are other crew appreciation gestures that can show your gratitude. For example, taking the time to write a thank-you note or providing glowing feedback to the charter company can go a long way in recognizing their hard work.

Handling special requests is another area where the crew’s dedication and professionalism shine. Whether it’s arranging a surprise celebration, accommodating dietary restrictions, or organizing a special excursion, the crew’s ability to fulfill these requests with a smile is truly commendable.

Open and clear communication with the crew is crucial for a seamless experience. From discussing your preferences before the charter to addressing any concerns or needs during the trip, maintaining a respectful and friendly rapport with the crew ensures that they can provide you with the best possible service.

Lastly, recognizing exceptional service is important. If a crew member has gone above and beyond their duties, expressing your appreciation directly to them can make their day. It could be a simple compliment, a small gift, or even a handwritten note to show your gratitude for their outstanding efforts.

In the realm of yacht charters, adhering to proper etiquette is crucial for a seamless and enjoyable experience. By respecting the crew, following safety protocols, and understanding the importance of privacy, guests can create a harmonious environment onboard. Additionally, dressing appropriately, observing table manners, and showing appreciation through tipping are all essential aspects of yacht charter etiquette. By embracing these guidelines, guests can ensure a memorable and refined journey on the open seas.
