Brief Guide To Plan A Private Yacht Vacation

If you’re daydreaming of cruising across clear, blue waters under sunny skies, no cares aside from choosing where to pull ashore next, then perhaps it’s time to start planning a private yacht vacation. There is a lot to consider before you head out to sea, but with a little research and these handy tips, you’ll be set for the ultimate private boat tours Charleston SC.



1. Choose where to go and when

The first step of course is to decide on where to go. There are many exotic places around the world to choose from, so this alone could result in numerous Google searches. If you already have your heart set on a specific location, the more important consideration will be when to go. Avoiding bad weather will probably be your number one concern, but there is also high and low seasonality to consider.


2. Planning your experience

Start by thinking about what type of experience you’re looking for. Are you more interested in remote beach locations and dive spots or are you looking for cultural experiences and day excursions? Do you want to avoid crowds or be in the thick of the action? Or perhaps you want a little bit of both? Do a little research on the region and earmark places of interest and activities you’d like to include as a starting point for your planning.


3. Choosing the right Yacht and crew

Unless you’re planning to charter a bareboat, which is a yacht with no skipper or crew that you sail yourself, you’ll have some choices to make around the type of yacht and crew requirements for your trip. Popular sailing regions usually have an array of charter boats on offer, from sail yachts to catamarans, motor yachts and even super yachts with luxury amenities like swimming pools, gyms and helipads.


Conclusion


The travel season you choose will affect prices, although this is not always tied to the best weather as pricing is based on demand.
