The majority of the yachts we work with offer 7 night (8 day) luxury charters for 2-10+ Guests. Most of our trips include a full time crew that consists of a Captain and Chef. Typically larger yachts 60'+ will have a third crew member who serves the full time role of a stewardess. The majority of our clients prefer an all inclusive package which most yachts offer standard. This package includes all meals aboard the boat (Breakfast, Lunch, an afternoon snack, Dinner, and desert) as well as a standard ships bar package which typically consists of local and domestic beer, house wines, a full range of spirits, and custom cocktails prepared by the crew.

Our best advise for packing for a yacht charter vacation, is to pack light in a bag that can easily be compressed once you are aboard the yacht. The majority of our yacht partners have nearly everything you need aboard. If your worried about missing it, don't hesitate asking, otherwise you probably don't need it.
Our most common questions are about seasickness. Surprisingly this major fear rarely becomes a reality for most gusts and if it does, it is short lived. If you have been seasick in the past, we suggest a medicated patch. If you are concerned but haven't ever had motion sickness, relief bands or over the counter meds typically work great.
