Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why charter a yacht?
A: Yacht Charter is more economical, relaxing, hassle free and enjoyable than a hotel holiday. You do not have much chance to spend money when you are onboard, more 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.
Q: Which type of charter is for me?
A: If you can make up a group of between 6 - 16 person, you can rent a whole boat 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. You can choose one of our programes and reserve your cabin on this itineary to join other guests onboard.
Q: Which yacht is for my 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. So if you are 8 person than 4 cabin yacht will be enough for you but you may choose the charter a bigger yacht to be more spacious. It is all upto you really! Keep in mind that the bigger the yacht (in cabins and in size) more spacious it is.

Q: My party is more than 12 person, can we visit Greek Islands?
A: If a yacht has 9 cabins that means she can accommodate 18 person. The yacht can cruise with 18 person onboard in Turkish waters but can only leave Turkish waters with max. 12 person to foreign waters (same vice verse). But if you plan to cruise in Greek waters only and not plan to visit the Turkish coast, than your group can be 18 person. Again you can only be max. 12 person onboard to enter Turkey with a yacht (the rest can take the ferryboat!).
Q: On cabin charters, what time the yacht leaves on the first day and what time it arrives back at the end of the week?

But if you have an early flight or need to take a ferryboat or need to leave earl for another reason, we can arrange your early departure.
Q: Which boat I will be on for my Cabin Charter / What are the sizes of the boats in Cabin Charters?
A: In Private Charter you know which boat you are on because you rent the boat with the name.

All our boats are between 16 to 30 meters long and have between 4 to 9 cabins with private shower/wc.
