Tips On How To Get The Best Experience From A Crewed Motor Yacht Charter

By Katrina Wheeler


As holiday ideas go, there are few which can surpass the luxury and sheer adventurism of days sailing in the open seas. For most people, the most workable option for a sailing holiday is getting a crewed motor yacht charter with expert crew members in charge of charting and navigating your voyage so that you can enjoy your time to the fullest. The tips shown below are guaranteed to make your yachting holiday on a crewed sailing boat the best it could ever be.

It is important to state from the onset any special services, preferences or desires you would like to have. To help you express these clearly, charter companies will issue their clients with a form which they can indicate their preferences and requests on matters such as food and drinks, privacy or type of accommodation. You should also be careful to indicate if you or anyone traveling alongside you has any food allergies or medical conditions worth noting.

Discerning holidaymakers are adept enough to know the importance of talking up with the crew and knowing the captain well, preferably as the trip begins. As they take plenty of pride in their work and are also knowledgeable about the trip and the entire itinerary, captains will give you adequate tips on what you can expect and how to enjoy yourself even more.

Luxury yachts are crewed by very respectful and efficient staff that often you may be tempted to take what they do for granted. However, it is important to always treat them with courtesy and respects they deserve as they are not servants. Even when registering complaints or disappointment about the services delivered, do this with respect and courteous language.

Traveling by sea being what it is, it pays to be a little flexible with the itinerary as the weather may make a scheduled stop impossible. When this happens, the captain will provide the information early and suggest an alternative destination. Even if this alternative may not be what you had expected, a little understanding will go a long way in livening up your experience.

It is likely that you will find that the crew will restrict wearing of shoes on certain areas of the yacht. This barefoot rule is enforced because the teak decks are not only expensive and fragile but also require plenty of effort to keep clean and shiny. The crew will always provide easy carrying baskets where you can place your shoes before walking to those restricted areas.

To make your trip even more enjoyable, do not plan too many things you must accomplish as this may end up all in disappointment. In fact, you are likely to enjoy yourself more if you sit back, relax and take each day one at a time with the surprises and luxuries it will serve. Indeed, trying to check off a lengthy 'to do' list as you keep another eye on the sights is a guarantee for a ruined trip.

A motor yacht charter holiday idea is guaranteed to provide thrills and spills. However, you need to keep these proven tips close at hand if you are to enjoy yourself to the fullest.
