yacht? A: Yacht Charter is more economical, relaxing, hassle free and enjoyable than a hotel holiday. You do not much chance to spend much money when you are onboard, better chance to see and visit the region, making the most of the sun and sea, a great chance to make new friends (cabin charter), relax with your loved ones around. |

me? A: If you can make up a group of between 6 - 16 person, you can rent a whole both just for your group which is called Private Charter. There will be no other guests onboard but your party and you have flexibilty about the start and finish dates, route, menu, etc. If you can not make up a group but still want to go a yachting holiday, you are welcomed to join one of our quaranteed departure cabin charters.

group? A: That is all depends on your budget and the size of your group. On all the yachts 2 person can accomodate in 1 cabin.
