The Best Yacht Charters You Can Book Around the World
Whether you’re looking for seven decks of entertainment, a family-friendly trip, or a diving-focused Caribbean voyage, you’ll find it here.
There are few experiences as luxurious and awe-inspiring as a yacht charter . You can explore the world at your leisure, spend quality time with friends and family in an intimate setting, and the service is second to none. We've rounded up the most exceptional new yacht charters to book around the world. They're sure to inspire your next voyage, whether you want to relax along the Amalfi Coast or explore remote corners of the globe.
In the yachting world, Loon is known for an exceptional array of water toys — perhaps the best in her class. There's a FunAir inflatable slide that goes from the third deck straight into the ocean, an in-water pool, and a luxurious 43-foot Everglades tender. You can hop on paddleboards, sea kayaks, Waverunners, or a Seabob to explore nearby islands and coves.
The adventurous can try kite surfing or Lift e-Foil surfboards, which seems effortless when you watch the crew fly past, but is actually quite challenging. Loon is also a scuba diver's dream. The crew has several master divers and dive instructors who can take you out each morning, and they have all of the equipment you need onboard. They can also certify new divers during the trip.
The 180-foot yacht has a staggering 1,100 gross tons of living space, elegant design, and an amiable and attentive crew. Loon has two master staterooms, including a unique one on the upper deck. It has wraparound windows that offer unparalleled views of the surroundings. There are two salons, including one with recliners and a projector for movie night, plenty of spaces for dining alfresco, and an oversized infinity-edge Jacuzzi with a wet bar nearby. Fancy a workout? Loon has a treadmill, exercise bike, rowing machine, and free weights in the beach club. You'll be hard-pressed to find better workout views than this.
The crew is absolutely lovely and specializes in setting up unique experiences. You might have a pizza night on board, a barbecue on a private beach, or sundowners at the Instagram-famous Loon Bar. The crew will even take you to a picture-perfect sandbar and serve you drinks as you loll in the warm water.
Loon is available for charter from IYC in the Bahamas, Caribbean, and Bermuda during the winter months and in the Mediterranean in the summer months. Rates begin at $325,000 a week plus expenses.
Nansen Explorer
For the ultimate Antarctica adventure, you can't beat a voyage aboard Nansen Explorer . This former research vessel has all of the technical features needed to safely explore one of the world's most remote and dramatic landscapes and, thanks to a retrofit in 2021, an ultra-luxe interior design that wouldn't look out of place in St. Tropez. For exploration, Nansen Explorer has an Ice-1A classed 236-foot hull and an ice-experienced captain and bridge team, which means she can go deeper into the ice than other polar-classed superyachts. There's a heli-deck with onboard fueling capabilities, so you can see the vast landscape from the sky, or even go heli-skiing. There are plenty of toys that allow you to get up close and personal with wildlife and nature, including kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, dive equipment, and Zodiacs.
The interiors are so stylish, modern, and well-appointed that you'll forget you're in the middle of Antarctica rather than at a swanky hotel. The ship originally accommodated 60 passengers, but now it holds just 12 guests in seven cabins, including an owner's suite and a VIP suite. Each cabin has large windows that showcase the stunning vistas outside the ship. The sumptuous Scandanavian-inspired decor features shades of grey and white, which reflect the surrounding environment. There's a cozy lounge with a bar and a fireplace, perfect for warming up after an excursion to see penguins or whales.
Nansen Explorer is available for charter from Plan South America in Antarctica. Rates begin at $340,000 a week and are all-inclusive.
Yachting in French Polynesia is always a blissful experience, but Dardanella takes relaxation to the next level with bespoke, wellness-focused charters planned by onboard wellbeing facilitator Ayumi Gallagher. The wellness experience is all-encompassing, including fresh, detoxifying food, mindfulness workshops, yoga sessions, Pilates, meditation, and massages alongside traditional yacht activities, like diving, surfing, and tender safaris exploring the pristine waters and nature of French Polynesia. The captain is also a qualified marine biologist and ecologist, so he's the perfect person to show you this unique environment. There are two dive instructors, 12 sets of dive gear, a Nitrox dive compressor, and underwater photography equipment, so you can capture the beauty underwater, too. As an expedition yacht, Dardanella is well-suited for exploring remote destinations. The 121-foot yacht was refit in 2018 and has five luxurious cabins.
Dardanella is available for charter from 37south in French Polynesia. Rates begin at $100,000 a week plus expenses.
With seven decks, there's something for everyone aboard Wheels . This massive yet elegant yacht measures 249 feet, weighs almost 2,000 gross tons, and has lots of standout amenities including a spacious cinema for eight guests, a huge aquarium, massage room with a dedicated onboard masseuse, air-conditioned gym, and the main salon converts to a disco complete with lights and a smoke machine for those late-night dance parties. The split-level master suite has panoramic views, a study, and plenty of space, and there are four spacious guest suites on the main deck. Outside, there are plenty of relaxation areas, including sunpads, a hot tub, several dining areas and bars, and an enviable water sports area with two Jet Skis, four wave runners, three seabobs, a luxurious tender, and plenty more toys. The crew is very active and can teach you to wakeboard, kitesurf, sail the new Hobie cat catamaran, or scuba dive. They can also lead yoga and fitness classes.
Wheels is available for charter from Fraser Yachts in the Caribbean. Rates begin at $680,000 a week plus expenses.
Inside the €775,000-a-Week Superyacht That Was the Talk of Monaco Yacht Show
It's not uncommon for yacht charterers to "upgrade" their yachts year after year, chasing newer and bigger boats, which is makes Big Sky 's number of repeat bookings even more impressive. The 157-foot yacht has been a charter favorite since 2010, and she recently underwent a refit leaving her in immaculate condition. Big Sky can accommodate 10 guests in five staterooms, including a full-beam master that spans the width of the yacht, and there's plenty of room onboard to relax, including the main salon with large windows and a state-of-the-art TV system. The sky lounge is perfect for entertaining — it has an onyx bar and sliding windows that make you feel as if you are outside. Of course, if you do want to relax outdoors, there are three teak decks with space for dining and a large sundeck with a Jacuzzi, sun pads, couches, and a bar.
Big Sky is available for charter from Northrop & Johnson in the Bahamas. Rates begin at $180,000 a week plus expenses.
This glamorous new superyacht caused quite a stir when she debuted at the Monaco Yacht Show in September 2021. It's rare for a brand-new superyacht of this size to be available immediately for charter, so book your trip on Tatiana early. This 263-foot yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests, who are guaranteed impeccable service from the 20 crew members. She has a great selection of water accoutrements and a stunning design with a large amount of interior space, including a deck dedicated to the owner's suite. There are also two VIP staterooms, four double cabins, and a twin cabin. While away any rainy days in the movie room or shooting some pool. Tatiana also has a fabulous beach club with a large bathing platform, bar, and outdoor lounge.
Tatiana is available for charter from IYC in the Bahamas, Caribbean, and Bermuda during the winter months and in the Mediterranean in the summer months. Rates begin at €775,000 a week plus expenses.
Nour El Nil Meroe
Step back in time aboard Nour El Nil Meroe , a traditionally inspired Egyptian yacht full of modern amenities and luxurious design. Meroe is available for charter through Black Tomato, a top luxury travel company known for its expertly curated trips with exclusive experiences and a focus on local culture. Meroe is styled like a classic dahabiya boat, with authentic decor featuring whitewashed walls and linens alongside Parisian decor details. The VIP cabins have floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the Nile — we can't think of a more fabulous way to have breakfast in bed — while the other cabins have large windows. The shaded roof terrace has plenty of spots for lounging and dining alfresco, and there's a cheery indoor salon with red-and-white striped decor and cozy couches. On your charter, you'll slowly sail down the Nile River from Luxor to Aswan. You can charter just the yacht voyage or book the Ultimate Egypt trip , which includes adventures on land as well as the yacht charter (think: private tours of the pyramids, exploring temples, or taking a jeep safari around Siwa).
El Nil and the Ultimate Egypt trip can be booked through Black Tomato . Rates begin at $5,800 a person.
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
One of 2022's most anticipated travel launches is the new The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection . While this is technically a small-ship cruise, every element has been designed to make you feel as if you are aboard a superyacht. The fleet will ultimately have three custom-built yachts, each with 149 suites. However, in 2022, the collection will launch with their first luxury vessel: Evrima . The suites all have private terraces, which isn't something you can expect aboard even the largest superyacht. And of course, the amenities are incredible. It has a beautiful spa, stunning marina terrace (set up like a yacht beach club), an infinity-edge pool, a large gym, and plenty of entertainment. The dining options are seemingly endless, including the main restaurant, the Evrima Room, S.E.A., which features a menu by acclaimed chef Sven Elverfeld of Aqua, Talaat Nam, a Southeast Asian spot, and several casual options.
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's inaugural voyage is set for May 2022 and pricing is dependent on the itinerary. Learn more about the trips here .

Frequently asked questions
How long can i charter a yacht for.
Charters can be set for any duration under or over a week. We do offer day charters as well on a select number of yachts.
Can I select which day of the week the charter will start?
Yes, charter schedules are often very flexible and can choose any day of the week to depart. However, rates do fluctuate depending on the season. High season rates apply to the most popular charter periods, i.e. July/August and Christmas/New Year, and are also normally applicable to all major events. Low season rates apply to all other periods unless otherwise stipulated.
How do I calculate the charter rate?
Charters over seven days are calculated pro-rata against the weekly rate divided by seven and multiplied by the number of charter days. For charters less than a week, the weekly rate is divided by six and multiplied by the number of days.
What is included in the charter rate?
Included in rate for all term charters is use of the yacht for specified time, crew, and water toys.
What is not included in the charter rate?
APA for expenses, Tax (if applicable), Gratuity to crew, and Repositioning fee (if applicable) are not included in the charter rate.
What is APA?
Expenses for any charter is collected at final payment in the form of an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA). This sum is usually equivalent to 30% of the total charter fee, but may be 35% in some cases. Intended to cover the operating expenses of a charter as explained under Charter Terms. The APA will be given to the captain before the start of your charter. ANY remainder balance is given back to the charterer at the conclusion of the charter.
How much should I tip the crew?
Crew gratuities are at the charterers discretion, although it is customary for a charterer who has enjoyed the kind and attentive service of an obliging crew to extend a gratuity. Crew gratuities are normally between 15%-20% of the charter fee, but can be adjusted up or down according to your level of satisfaction.
What is a repositioning fee?
If you want to charter a yacht from a different location than their home port, or you want to get off at another harbor, the costs for transporting the vessel from or to the home port will be calculated by the captain and added to the charter rate.
Can I select the itinerary for my cruise?
Yes, the itinerary is totally customizable and designed for each guest. Our charter specialist will design an itinerary based on your preferences. Boatsetter brokers work with the Captain to make advance reservations for many activities, such as sightseeing tours, vehicle rentals, and restaurant reservations. During your charter, your Captain and crew will take care of any arrangements for you and adjust itinerary as well.
Am I allowed to smoke onboard the yacht?
Yes, smoking is permitted on the aft deck or flybridge. No smoking is permitted in the interior of the yacht.
How many people are allowed on board the yacht?
On day charters, 12 guests is the maximum occupancy of any commercial charter. When chartering a yacht overnight, the number of staterooms needs to correlate to guests staying onboard. Typically, each stateroom holds up to 2 guests.
How do I make sure I have everything I need on board (food, wine, etc.)?
Prior to departure, our team will ask you to complete a detailed preference sheet describing the preferences and special needs of all the members of your party, such as dietary or medial requirements, details of any allergies, and your sporting or entertainment requests. This will enable the crew of your chosen yacht to ensure you have a flawless experience during your stay onboard.

What people are saying
“Canvas Yacht Charters and Doug are a pleasure to work with. Doug’s follow-up skills are remarkable and attention to detail are bar none. I very rarely leave reviews, but I can, without a doubt, recommend Canvas and Doug to everyone I know. Thanks again D!”
“We recently celebrated our 25th anniversary with three other couples, our dearest friends, on a week-long sailing charter. The trip was arranged by Doug Tibbs at Canvas Yacht Charters, and his assistance was invaluable every step of the way. He listened to our dreams for the trip, the things we were really hoping for and things we wanted to avoid, non-negotiates and crazy ideas, and he filtered them all to present us with several charter options, any one of which would have been wonderful, but we ended up on Ghost. Doug’s attention didn’t stop with the booking. He made sure we were kept aware of various important deadlines, including changes related to covid, connected us with the crew and conveyed to them all our preferences, and was available throughout to answer our big and small questions. This was truly the trip of a lifetime for every one of us onboard—the boat, the crew, the sailing, the food, the adventure. So many thanks to Doug for his care to make it everything we dreamed it could be—and we are already hoping to plan a repeat trip for next year!”
“It’s not often that I end up leaving a review for a service I didn’t end up booking, but the super customer service I received from Heather at Starrluxe definitely merits noting. From the first step in the process, she was helpful, professional, and extremely accommodating despite a difficult itinerary and an expedited time frame. She provided excellent options and went out of her way to address our every requirement. I deeply regret that our travel plans changed and we weren’t able to finalize our charter, but I greatly look forward to working with Starrluxe again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Enjoyed working with Doug. He was attentive to our needs/desires. Got us a great boat with a great crew. He even got us a price reduction. I will look forward to working with him again.”
“Doug and his team helped us book a trip in two days for the following week. Great communications and expectation setting, which helped make the trip successful. We will recommend them to family and friends for their trips. -Cheers, John”

A Beginner’s Guide to Chartering a Yacht
With the pandemic driving a boom in superyacht charters , more and more people are taking to the water for their first yachting experience. But while some superyachts can cost more than a million a week to charter, you don’t need to outlay seven figures for your own yachting vacation.
Wondering what else you need to know before stepping on board for the very first time? We’ve turned to experts in the yachting industry for their insider intel on how to charter a yacht like a pro—from how much it will run you, to where to go, and well beyond. Read on.
Do I need a charter broker, and how do I find one?
It’s a charter broker’s job to match you with the right yacht and crew—and then take the lead in planning the entire experience. Professional bodies such as MYBA The Worldwide Yachting Association act as a database of industry-recognized professionals. But the best source for finding a charter broker is often your own network. “Building up a relationship with a charter broker is very important,” says Jacqui Lockhart, a Monaco-based broker at Camper & Nicholsons International . “If possible, look for a recommendation from a friend.”
Once you’ve found the right broker, communication with them will be key. “Take the time to be as detailed with your preferences, such as dietary requirements, likes and dislikes, and preferred activities, as possible,” says London-based broker Charles Crane of Edmiston . “This will give us and the crew the best information to make the charter a success and tailored to perfection.”
How much should I be prepared to spend?
“The entry point is around $40,000 for a week on a yacht 82-feet upwards that can sleep six people," says Lockhart. What can take first time charterers by surprise is that this isn’t an all-inclusive figure. “The charter fee covers the hire, the crew, the insurance—everything that’s linked to the yacht,” Lockhart continues. Anything specifically for the client is extra—including food and beverages, fuel, and dockage. As a rule of thumb, budget for an extra 30 percent on top of the baseline charter figure for these extras, which goes into a fund known as the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). At the end of the charter, it is also customary to tip the crew; between 10 and 20 percent of the charter fee is a guideline figure. There may also be Value Added Tax (VAT) to pay on the charter rate, depending on the country of embarkation.
At the smaller end of the charter fleet, more opportunity exists for single-cabin bookings rather than whole yacht charters. This year in the Caribbean , Sheila Ruffin of Soca Yacht Charters has launched a “Stranger on the Seas” package. Prices start at around $6,000 per person—all-inclusive—on catamarans between 48 and 60 feet. “This allows couples the opportunity to mix and mingle with other couples for an adventurous and social yacht charter on the Caribbean Sea,” says Ruffin.
What destinations are best suited to first-time charterers?
“For first-timers, I wouldn’t recommend a remote destination,” says Captain Kelly Gordon of Freddy , a 106-foot charter yacht based out of the Bahamas . “When it’s hard to get to, that eats up some of your valuable time and can also take some of the fun out of it.”
While yachts are heading towards unchartered waters such as Antarctica with increasing frequency, cruising grounds in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean are classic destinations for a reason. “For the first-time charterer in these locations, there will be more yacht options to choose from, proven cruising grounds with known and safe anchorages, well-connected and easy access hubs to ensure smooth passage to embark and disembark the vessel as well as the ability to source most provisions that guests may want,” says Crane.
The key ingredient? The crew.
Although much of the focus is on securing the right yacht, the secret to the success of a charter is its crew. “Put simply, the crew make the difference between a good charter yacht and a bad one,” says Crane. Today’s crew are increasingly versatile. “They may also be a diving or yoga instructor, personal trainer, fisherman, or sommelier,” he continues.
The crew also knows your cruising area better than anyone else. “Be sure to pick their brain on fun things to do. They often love the opportunity to come up with fun activities and games, whether for kids or adults,” says Lotte Barker-Hahlo, a London-based charter broker at Burgess .
The level of hospitality from crew on most yachts often convert first-time charters into repeat customers. “The attention to detail from the crew is unsurpassed by any other luxury holiday,” says Barker-Hahlo. “From the unpacking of your suitcase to being offered a drink before you’ve even realized you’re thirsty, it’s 24-hour care and service.”
Gordon says that much of the feedback she receives at the end of a first-time charter is why didn’t we do this earlier? “People are always surprised at how we take the time to get to know their needs before they have even arrived. We really do study those preference sheets!”
Think carefully about who else you want on board
Another important factor to a successful yacht vacation? Your fellow travelers. This is a specific type of vacation, which should narrow your list of invitees. “Strongly consider who you vacation with when chartering a yacht,” urges Ruffin. “Unlike other vacation options, yachts are very intimate and exclusive. Choose to share your water adventure with those you like and will enjoy on the water for a week or more.” Maybe, even for veteran yachties, that's the sagest advice of all.

The definition of “yacht toy” has expanded far beyond Jet Skis and Seabobs. These days, it can include electronic items such as sophisticated drones for recording voyages or portable 4G projectors that can turn any wall into an instant cinema. There are also big expensive toys like personal submersibles, or small, featherweight gear like the latest GoPro camera. In between: a tech golf machine that sits on the rear of the boat, making recommendations for your swing, a backpack jetpack that lets you swim like a barracuda, or a compressor that floats on the surface, making scuba tanks unnecessary. Here are the latest, coolest toys that will launch your vessel into a new realm of fun and adventure.
Cudajet Underwater Jetpack
This sleek electric jetpack delivers effortless, dolphin-like diving, spinning, and cavorting at nine feet per second. Rated to 131 feet for professional free divers, the controller and floating safety harness limit descents to 10 feet for everyone else. $18,000
U-Boat Worx Super Yacht Sub 3
Thanks to powerful thrusters, U-Boat Worx ’s three-passenger Super Yacht Sub 3 can dive to 1,000 feet. Inside the acrylic dome are plush seats, air-conditioning, a Bluetooth audio system, and 360-degree views of your aquatic playground. $3.35 million
Acqua Springboard
These custom-built tapered carbon-fiber diving boards feature the same type of inlaid mahogany as elegant Riva boats of the 1960s—and add the same dolce vita flair to any on-deck pool. The designers make two versions, this pictured Gracie Bird but also a new Rio with the same quality but a different look. From $25,000
Bugatti Pool Table
The handcrafted skin and carbon-fiber shell above the aeronautical-grade aluminum frame of this billiard table evoke Bugatti’s high-performance automotive design while the optional gyroscope and quiet servo motors maintain a level surface no matter how rough the conditions. About $315,000
Lotus Type 136
Fit with a motor developed for the Mars Rover, this e-bike turns every port of call into your training ground with its carbon-monocoque design, three hours of pedal boost, and battery disguised as a water bottle. About $27,000
Candela C-8 Polestar
This future-forward limited-edition cruiser embraces the latest advances in marine design with its all-electric propulsion and gold-colored foils that raise its 28-foot hull three feet above the water—a statement tender in all seas. $450,000
Mavic 3 Pro
This drone’s 40-minute flight time and ability to detect and avoid obstacles are impressive, but its standout features are the Hasselblad camera for still shots plus dual video units—with different depths of field—to precisely document voyages from multiple views. $2,200
Off the Deck SeaDriveCX
The SeaDriveCX introduces a high-tech approach to onboard golf, capable of bringing real-time analytics and data to your swing while providing virtual rounds at Pebble Beach or St. Andrews. The balls, naturally, are biodegradable. Price upon request
Superyacht Inflatable Wave Lounger
The Fun Air Superyacht Inflatable Wave Lounger brings a combo of comfort and versatility to the swim platform of any vessel. It looks good on deck—especially with custom covers that can match your boat name and colors—floats alongside the yacht and folds up into a small pack (31.5” x 20” x8”) that’s easy to store or tote to the beach for an afternoon ashore. Price upon request
Seabob F5 SR
The Seabob F5 SR is the most powerful of Cayago’s surface scooter/underwater sleds. It comes with built-in HD cameras, a powerful thruster (top speed of 13.5 mph along the water’s surface and 12.5 mph underseas), wi-fi connectivity and a spectrum of bright color options. About $16,550
LG CineBeam Q
The LG CineBeam Q is a portable 4K projector that sets up just about anywhere. An auto screen function adapts to the available projection space and instantly focuses, eliminating much of the hassle, and when hooked up to the internet, the device can connect directly to streaming services. $999.99
GoPro Hero12 Black + Max
GoPro has been at the action-cam game for a while now, but its new Hero12 Black + Max still packs in a bunch of new features, including 5.3K and 4K video modes, advanced image stabilization and 177° field of view. And, of course, it’s waterproof to 33 feet. $429.99
Supmaran Light
The Supmaran Light is a small boat fashioned out of two stand-up paddle boards, a frame and a waterproof storage compartment. The entire package weighs about 85 pounds, folds up into three easy-to-stow containers and snaps together in about 15 minutes. Add a small electric motor if you prefer puttering over paddling. $2,100

Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Gary King has been publicly scrutinized over some major allegations, and his dirty laundry should be aired on the series to ensure viewers know what he may have done . Throughout the run of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Gary has been one of the standout stars . Working as the First Officer of Parsifal III beneath Captain Glenn Shephard, Gary has been able to do decent work for years, but his attitude has been difficult for viewers to get behind. While his time on the show hasn’t been sparse, his behavior has been spotty.
There has been a fair share of problematic yachties on the Below Deck franchise over the years. From issues with crew members confronting one another to substance abuse problems sprouting up during charter seasons, Below Deck viewers are no strangers to issues on the high seas, but Gary’s behavior has been troubling for many because of the casual nature of it. Generally, Gary has been more of a typical playboy character on the series , which makes it more difficult to pin down his transgressions over the years.
Gary’s behavior has grown more troubling through the years, and the longer that Below Deck Sailing Yacht continues, the more he gets away with on the series. Early on, Gary simply seemed like a player, interested in all the women aboard the sailing yacht. Flirty and touchy, Gary was open about the fact that he didn’t like to settle down with just one person. While he was honest about his intentions, Gary was struggling to respect boundaries aboard the vessel . As the show’s continued, Gary has made more women uncomfortable with his actions and ignored the potential consequences.
With Gary’s behavior on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 having brought viewers to a place of questioning with the First Officer when allegations of sexual misconduct were lodged against him in the show’s off-season, most weren’t surprised. Gary’s inability to take accountability for his actions was clear from the moment the allegations came out, especially after the story seemed to be corroborated by Bravo when they removed him from BravoCon’s lineup last summer. Despite knowing that many believed the brave woman who came forward about him, Gary didn’t change his behavior and instead doubled down on his attitude .
Now, with Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 looming in the distance, many are wondering what’s going to happen with Gary’s storyline. While some want the Bravo series to brush Gary’s wrongdoings under the rug, others hope that the show touches upon his abhorrent behavior . By holding Gary accountable for how he’s made women uncomfortable, it’s possible that things could change and he could make the decision to leave the series or, at the very least, investigate his own actions.
20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
8 Gary’s Behavior Has Been Tolerated Since The Beginning
He’s never been told no.
Although Gary’s been a longtime crew member of Parsifal III, his behavior has been difficult from early on in his Below Deck journey. While Gary has always passed himself off as a playboy who’s simply looking for women’s attention, his somewhat difficult way with women has been tolerated on the sailing yacht crew. Whether Captain Glenn simply isn’t aware of Gary’s nature or has deemed his behavior more appropriate than it is, Gary has always been allowed to be overly flirtatious with women aboard the sailing yacht.
While some of Gary’s behavior is likely just him attempting to be charming and charismatic, there’s been some odd behavior he’s displayed and gotten away with, too. The majority of Gary’s behavior during Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 with Stew Mads Herrera was uncomfortable, and she noted as much on the series. Even so, Gary’s interactions with Mads only got worse as the charter went on , and he never seemed to notice she wasn’t enthusiastically enjoying their time together.
7 Gary’s Ignoring The Implications Of His Actions
He doesn’t care that he looks bad.
While Gary may understand that some people don’t like his actions , he ignores the idea of that being a possibility no matter what happens to him on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Gary’s behavior can be appropriate at times, but his inappropriate behavior has been at an all-time high in recent years. While he’s been working hard to ignore all of his red flags, Gary’s behavior and what’s been detailed about his alleged sexual misconduct should give him pause about his actions.
In the report explaining his sexual misconduct allegations, it was shared that Gary was loud and rough with the Below Deck makeup artist he allegedly assaulted. He didn’t realize he was crossing a line with her, but despite her repeated rejection, Gary continued to push and make light of what he was doing. While the allegations aren’t confirmed, Gary’s ignoring the implications of his actions , which makes it seem like he would cross lines to get what he wants despite how the other party feels.
6 Gary’s True Actions Deserve To Be Shown
Viewers deserve the truth.
Although Gary’s been on Below Deck Sailing Yacht for years and many viewers feel they’ve gotten to know him, his true nature deserves to be shown on the series. While some viewers haven’t glossed over the odd behavior Gary’s displayed in the past , others have managed to allow it to seem normal, writing Gary off as a player with eyes for every woman he sees. By acting so casually about Gary’s tendencies, some have failed to notice how predatory his behavior can be.
Gary’s true nature, which appears to be someone who doesn’t respect boundaries and feels compelled to take what he wants without remorse, should be revealed to Below Deck Sailing Yacht viewers. Rather than making it out to be a joke or a series of lighthearted flirtations, Gary’s actions should get the airtime to prove that he can be dangerous. Viewers of the series deserve to know who the true Gary is, regardless of what that may mean.
5 Gary’s Colleagues Deserve Justice In Their Dislike For Him
His fellow yachties deserve to be seen.
While there are some Below Deck stars, like his longtime friend Daisy Kelliher , who have been supportive of Gary after the allegations came out, others have had issues with him in the past. Like Mads and Lucy Edmunds from Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4, there have been many female crew members who have taken issue with Gary’s behavior. Rather than relegating them to simply complaining about things on screen, the behavior in question deserves explanation and validation for Below Deck crew members.
Though Below Deck Sailing Yacht stars may not be interested in opening an old can of worms when it comes to Gary’s nature, those who have felt uncomfortable with him deserve to know that their feelings are valid. Gary should be held accountable for his actions , and his behavior should be something that is shown for what it is. The Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast should be able to feel justified in their dislike or disinterest in Gary, especially after he’s made them uncomfortable.
4 Gary’s Behavior Shouldn’t Be Hidden Or Edited Out
Ignoring his behavior is unnecessary.
While Gary’s behavior has likely been edited out in the past, his time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht has always seemed to be in his favor far more than it likely is now. After the allegations of misconduct, Gary should have to face his own actions on screen. Making it clear that he’s not exactly the man of honor that he makes himself out to be, Gary should have to face what he’s done and the public scrutiny that comes along with it.
While Below Deck Sailing Yacht, much like the other shows in the franchise, typically edits their episodes to bring a story to life, they should make sure the narrative they’re sharing includes some of Gary’s more troubling moments. Rather than holding things back or sweeping them under the rug, Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 should hold Gary accountable for his actions. Rather than editing around Gary, showing who he is to the audience could create major change .
3 Gary’s True Nature Deserves Attention From Viewers
Below deck fans deserve the full picture.
While some have been quick to realize that Gary’s behavior can be upsetting or difficult , others haven’t seen the true picture of who Gary is after the misconduct allegations came to light. Below Deck viewers can be forgiving at times, especially when it comes to yachties who they enjoy watching in the franchise. While some have been aware of Gary’s behavior, others have been willing to write it off as a joke for far too long .
The show should give the full picture of who Gary is in order to allow viewers the level of understanding they need to decide whether or not to support him anymore. Gary’s actions may not have been as bad as they appear , but without Below Deck Sailing Yacht giving information about what Gary did and how he behaves, viewers wouldn’t know. If there are any damning pieces of evidence against Gary, the series should be letting viewers see and decide for themselves.
2 Gary’s Been Placated For Too Long
He needs to face consequences.
While Gary has claimed that he’s been called out for his behavior in the past, it’s clear that he feels far too comfortable making others uncomfortable, and hasn’t actually been told to stand down. Gary’s been placated, both by Below Deck Sailing Yacht and the viewers of the show , for years. Without genuine consequences for his actions, Gary has continued practicing upsetting behavior, making women uncomfortable throughout his time on the series.
Although Gary’s actions, at times, may not have been worth calling out, there have been some major instances of discomfort on Below Deck Sailing Yacht in the past. Even Andy Cohen, who sometimes lets Bravo stars slide during the reunions he hosts, called Gary out about his behavior in the last season of the series. Even so, with Gary continually returning to the show , he’s been placated and feels far too comfortable for others to feel safe around him.
1 Gary Shouldn’t Be Able To Return To Below Deck Sailing Yacht
He doesn’t deserve to be on the series.
Although Gary will be a part of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5, it should be his last season of the series regardless of what happened in his sexual misconduct case. Gary’s behavior aside from the allegations had already been poor , and knowing that he’s been able to get away with making people uncomfortable for years should be enough to excuse him from the series. Though Gary has been a source of drama , it’s time for him to leave the show.
Many viewers have been taking issue with Below Deck Sailing Yacht for bringing Gary back to the series after the unfortunate allegations came out. While the show was already filming, the fact that Gary doesn’t seem to have faced any consequences for his potential actions is upsetting. Below Deck Sailing Yacht would be a safer series, and likely a better one, without Gary working aboard the crew.

Equally, with an outstanding array of tranquil beaches, bays and inlets to explore, the Mediterranean is also a veritable nirvana for families or those simply seeking serenity on their yacht charter vacation.
History and Culture
The Mediterranean sea is connected to the Atlantic Ocean, bordering more than 22 different countries, and over 3,000 islands, the largest two being the Italian islands of Sicily and Sardinia. Its name comes from two Latin words: 'Medius” (Middle) and “Terra” (Earth/Soil), roughly translated as the center of the Earth, and the sea itself is thought to be more than 5 million years old.
In terms of Mediterranean culture, there isn't a one size fits all approach — each and every country in the region has their own. But we can say that there are some overarching themes: an appreciation of the finer things in life being one of them: of nature and of cuisine.
Types of Yacht Charters in the Mediterranean
A luxury crewed yacht rental vacation in the Mediterranean is without a doubt the best way to lap up the natural splendor of this magical region, offering you access to a dizzying array of splendid spots far from the typical tourist trail.
With an extensive selection of vessels available to choose from, the perfect yacht for you and your charter party is destined to be out there. Unsure whether a crewed motor yacht charter, sailing yacht charter, or in some cases, a gulet charter will work best for you? We've laid out the main aspects to consider before making a final decision.
Motor Yacht Charters in the Mediterranean
A crewed motor yacht charter in the Mediterranean is the epitome of luxury. With seven-star amenities and hotel-serviced living coupled with a completely unrivaled level of privacy, it's no wonder a motor yacht has evergreen appeal. Uncover awe-inspiring that are only accessible by boat, and experience what it's like to have your own floating palace.
There is a huge variety of Mediterranean motor yachts available, from 100m superyachts with all the latest charter-focused amenities to small speedy weekend cruisers, or somewhere in between. But do keep in mind when selecting your motor yacht that slips here are in high demand during the summertime, which means it's more likely you will spend time at anchor.
As for yacht types, those with planing hulls are perfect if you want to zip through locations at speed quickly. However, they are usually less stable at anchor.
Displacement and semi-displacement hulls are slower and make up most of the global charter fleet, They are more comfortable, voluminous, and more stable with at anchor stabilizers.
Sailing Yacht Charters in the Mediterranean
Selecting a luxury crewed sailing yacht charter in the Mediterranean is a wonderful choice for guests looking for a slower vacation pace, where you will be wooed by the sailing yacht's old-school charm. Plus, with most sailing conditions in the Mediterranean being extremely favorable, typified by calm seas and light winds (apart from the Meltemi at certain times in Turkey and Greece), this is absolutely a sailing paradise.
And with an extensive selection of catamarans, monohulls and racer sailers available, it won't be difficult to find a charter sailing yacht in the Mediterranean that will meet your requirements.
Gulet Charters in the Mediterranean
In Turkey & Croatia you also have an additional charter option: the possibility of renting a gulet with a full crew. Gulets are traditionally Turkish-built wooden motor sailor yachts which are usually much larger in volume than your average sailing yacht, with an abundance of open-plan living spaces.
Turkish gulet yachts are less expensive than other charter vessels of the same size, and can often offer all-inclusive or semi-inclusive packages, meaning you don’t need to worry about additional expenses such as food and drink. They also normally include a standard number of cruising hours per day. Plus, their crew are often local to the region that they cruise in, meaning they can double as tour guides and can provide a lot of valuable expertise.
You can visit Greek Islands on your Turkish gulet charter vacation, but you will need to embark and disembark in a port in Turkey unless it has a Greek Charter Licence - which is very rare.
Gulets are not available in the West Mediterranean cruising areas.
How Much Does It Cost to Charter a Yacht in the Mediterranean?
The average price of a motor yacht or sailing yacht rental in the Mediterranean will depend on several factors, including the vessel's age, type, crew, as well as the duration of the vacation and whether it is high or low season.
With so many options available, there’s something to suit every type of budget. For convenience we have listed the average prices for motor yacht and sailing yacht charters in the Mediterranean below;
- For motor yacht rentals in the Mediterranean, prices can range from $31,541 to $1.6m per week, plus expenses
- For luxury sailing yacht rentals in the Mediterranean, prices can go from $20,491 to $532,784 weekly, plus expenses
One aspect to keep in mind is that there are important distinctions to be made between the average costs for West Mediterranean and East Mediterranean yachting vacations. While exact costs can vary from yacht to yacht, typically, West Mediterranean yacht charters will involve newer, larger vessels and include a high-quality, international workforce, and therefore tend to usually incur higher prices. Meanwhile, East Mediterranean yacht charters will usually use older vessels and feature highly knowledgeable local crews.

When is the Best Time for Mediterranean Yacht Charters?
The best time for a yachting vacation on the Mediterranean is between May and August, although weather is still pleasant in the shoulder months of April and September, with some East Mediterranean locations experiencing high temperatures well into October (Croatia, Turkey, Greece).
Yacht charter guests in the Mediterranean during these months can expect mellow seas, cloudless skies long, sunbaked days and low rainfall.
However, if you are looking to evade the crowds and the heat, avoid July and August.
Where Should I Begin My Mediterranean Yacht Charter?
France is by far the most popular starting point for the classic "Mediterranean milk-run charter" route (Saint Tropez to Portofino), with this term coined in the industry to reflect the most celebrated and chicest locations along the Côte d'Azur.
The best place to begin a Mediterranean yacht charter is in Nice for itineraries along the coast and towards the Italian Riviera, with the majority of guests flying into Nice Airport before being chauffeured to its port or Antibes. Cannes Vieux Port (which is a mere 30-minute drive from Nice's Airport) is also popular if beginning further west towards Saint-Tropez .
Ibiza is also a popular starting point for Balearics charters, while Positano and Ajaccio are useful embarkation ports for Amalfi Coast and Corsica yacht charters respectively.
For East Mediterranean itineraries, Athens is a popular choice for charters around Greece's Aegean archipelagos, with the highest concentration of yacht rentals, while superyachts cruising the Ionian and Adriatic Coast tend to be flexible, with charters embarking from any number of popular destinations; from Venice in Italy down to Corfu in Greece's Ionian Islands.
Popular Marinas and Moorings in the Mediterranean
There are many marinas in the Mediterranean, but there are some, especially within the French and Italian Riviera that are highly coveted such as St Tropez and Portofino, which means mooring costs in this region in the summer tend to be highest and availability is often extremely limited.
If you would like to spend a night in port while on your charter yacht in the Mediterranean, be sure to make this clear to your crew or your charter broker well in advance, as there is strong competition for slips.
Below is our selection of some of the finest and most popular marinas in the Mediterranean:
French Riviera Marinas
- Vieux Port de Cannes and Port Pierre Canto in Cannes, both cater to all sizes of yachts and with 1,200 berths.
- Port Cogolin in Saint Tropez, which boasts 1,600 berths for yachts of up to 50m/164ft, and Port Vauban in Antibes, which caters to yachts up to a 165m/541ft LOA.
- Port de Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat , located near the idyllic village of Villefranche-sur-Mer. This marina has 560 berths that can accommodate yachts up to 60m/197ft in length.
Italian Riviera Marinas
- Marina di Loano , not far from the French border can accommodate 900 vessels up to 77m/252ft in length.
- Porto Mirabello , in La Spezia caters to yachts of up to 100m/328ft, and a perfect point for exploring the region's jaw-droppingly pretty Cinque Terre.
Amalfi Coast Marinas
- Marina di Stabia is one of the most popular places to begin a yacht charter on the Amalfi Coast, and boasts luxury facilities and the capacity to host yachts measuring up to 100m.
Marina Piccola in Sorrento has 280 berths, catering to yachts measuring up to 40m.
Corsica Marinas

Setur Antalya Marina , renowned superyacht marina, capacity reaches 235 yachts.
Where to End a Mediterranean Yacht Charter
Portofino is one of the best places to disembark your Mediterranean yacht charter if you are embarking on the typical week-long yachting vacation along 'the milk run' (incorporating destinations in the French Riviera and Ligurian Coast). Guests usually take a helicopter back to Nice or Genoa airport.
For two-week-long Mediterranean charter vacations, Bonifacio is one of the most popular places to finish a private yacht charter in the Mediterranean due to its outstanding natural beauty. It boasts one of the most stunning port entrances in Europe, bordered by soaring limestone cliffs on one side, and on the other its impressive medieval old town teeters on a hilltop. Upon leaving, guests are chauffeured to nearby Ajaccio international airport.
For East Mediterranean charters, Athens is a popular disembarkation port, as well as Porto Montenegro and Dubrovnik or Split on the Adriatic Coast, all of which offer good transport links with international airports.
How to Book Your Yacht Charter in the Mediterranean
If you want to book a yachting vacation in the Mediterranean, we strongly advise booking through a qualified yacht charter broker at least three months in advance. By doing so, you will increase the likelihood of securing your preferred dates and you will have a greater selection of yachts on offer to choose from.
This also ensures your yacht broker has enough time to craft a personalized itinerary and secure an overnight berth in the most popular marinas.

Mediterranean Yacht Charter Q&A
We advise booking your Mediterranean yacht rental at least three months in advance to ensure you get the yacht you desire. The longer you leave it, the fewer choices you will have to rent in the Mediterranean.
One of the wonderful aspects about renting a yacht in the Mediterranean is the exceedingly long season. For example in West Mediterranean locations like France, Spain and Italy, the best time to visit is usually from May until September. This balmy weather extends to well into October in East Mediterranean destinations like Greece, Croatia, Montenegro and Turkey.
For your Mediterranean superyacht charter, you will need to provide a completed charter agreement and 50% of the charter fee as a deposit. This is payable once the contract has been signed.
When booking a Mediterranean yacht rental, do keep in mind the costs that aren't included in the base rate, namely VAT and the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance). The APA is usually paid in advance of the charter and is commonly set at 30% of the charter fee. This allowance covers expenses such as fuel, berthing, food and drinks, as well as any special requests.
Please consult your yacht charter broker for any other costs you may need to factor in for your yacht charter in the Mediterranean.
