Luxury and superyacht charters with SuperSailYachts.com
If you are keen on a luxury yachting vacation, there are not many ways to go about it. You simply need a guidance and top broker to first provide a choice, than advise on best available alternatives. The broker should also ensure crew updates and menu's are available to double check your preferences in terms of food served on board. Finally, and maybe most importantly, chosen dates should fit with the desired season and broker should ensure that your itinerary is reasonable, manageable and agreeable to the captain and owner.
Choice of Yachts:
When it comes to choice of yachts, it is always best to know what yacht you wish to charter (and where) as that would ensure swift service, top advice and best offers. For example, many clients nowadays prefer catamarans to yachts and they tend to know that a Sunreef 80 is their preferred and desired model and that no alternative to that will be considered. Pricing of such luxury supercats are set to around 80,000 Eur/week, although during lower seasons or indeed, during peak of the season such as Christmas and the NEW YEAR in the Caribbean can increase this to 100,000 Eur (125,000 US$'s). However, in most circumstances the budget may play the crucial role. It is therefore advisable to set a range which you are able and keen to consider when making a final decision. This is all to avoid complex scenarios, where either the availability or costs are not available or suitable. For example if your maximum budget for a one week sailing holiday on a supercat is 60,000 Eur including all expenses, it is not advisable to consider a Sunreef 80 as that's simply not realistic. In that case, one could try and negotiate on an older model of Lagoon 77 or one of the few Sunreef 70's. For such a budget, given VAT issues and APA expenses to run the charter, it is most realistic to get a well managed luxury catamaran such as Fountain Pajot Alegria 67 or one of the Sunreef 60's.
Chef and Menu's
Superyachts and supercats will have a very different type of service on board to luxury yachts. Given previous example of a Sunreef 80 versus Sunreef 60 for example, you can expect a world of difference. While both chefs and other crew on board will be in most cases experienced, highly motivated, capable and also schooled, some may lack 5-star experience or top school attendance in which case they are unlikely to be given a chance on board of a Sunreef 80. Yacht charter clients on board of a supercat such as Sunreef 80 will rightfully expect a chef with top culinary school education and extensive experience prior to confirming a booking. Those looking for a charter on board of a Sunreef 60 however, will not even consider such comparisons in most cases, although it all can depend on a client to client basis. In both cases, a set menu or a sample menu can be shown or agreed in advance though. Number of crew will also play a role, as 4 or 5 on board of a Sunreef 80 will be versed at 5-star, maybe even Michelin star service with some discerning twist or exclusivity, while 2-3 crew members on a Sunreeef 60 will simply be looking for high quality and efficient service, rather than a formal, exclusive experience.
Itineraries:
In the best of all worlds, an itinerary will be both desired and executable. Sailing around major cruising grounds often comes with a preconceived idea of what one should visit. For example, a client keen on sailing Aeolian islands is unlikely to change a weeks itinerary from a typical one that will start in Portorosa or Capo d'Orlando, go across to Volcano, onto Salina, Panarea, the nearby Isola di Basiluzzo, Stromboli, Alicudi and Filicudi before returning back to the other side of Volcano and Salina, before ending the charter 7 nights later. This regardless if one will be on a luxury yacht such as a Sunreef 60, superyacht such as a Fountain Pajor Alegria 67 or even a giga yacht such as 85 metre motor yacht O'Ptasia. In case there are budget issues and booking is on a high-performance superyacht that consumes 750 litres of fuel per hour however, heading all the way to Stromboli or Alicudi could be avoided to save 1,000's of Euros on fuel fee alone. The same can be said of other long-term or longer distance yacht charters that may last a few weeks or even months or may cover large distances in a shorter period of time such as round trip from South of France across to Corsica and Sardinia before heading back to home port.
Final word
It is therefore advisable to check all details at the same time, in order to ensure that both the chosen or desirable yacht, suitable crew and executable itinerary are agreed in advance.
