Vacationing Aboard Mega Yacht Charters

Charles Mohaney, Mon Dec 26th

More than your average sailboat, mega yacht charters offer allthe luxury of a five star hotel, more room than most cityapartments around the world, and the freedom to go where youwant without having to pack and unpack at every stop. Inaddition, mega yacht charters come fully staffed if you sodesire making this one vacation you won't need another vacationto recover from! The Secrets to Affordable Yachting Mega yachtexcursion can run the gamut of prices. Some fully-loaded andstaffed luxury yachts can cost in the hundreds of thousands ofdollars for a single week. So how can the average person affordsuch luxury? The key is to make it a family affair, choose theright destinations, and time things to get the best rates. Ifyou are willing to do some of the cooking, cleaning, and evensailing responsibilities yourself, you will find it even easierto afford a vacation at sea.

Most luxury motorboat vessels can accommodate dozens of people.If you have a large extended family or close friends that youenjoy travelling with then it's easy to share the expense andmake an affordable week-long trip. With six sleeping cabins, forexample, you can accommodate up to six separate families. If theweek's voyage runs about $30,000 (an easy to find fare) theneach family is only spending $5,000 for a week of luxury andexciting site seeing. You can hardly get into the Disney themeparks with a family of four for that!

Another way to cut costs is to choose a destination that is morecontained. A trip through the Bahamas or Caribbean Islands willbe more affordable than an excursion that spans the seas fromone continent to another. Three or four days on this kind ofcruise is easy to travel and visit many different portsrepresenting several countries.


If you don't hire a cook or cleaning crew, you can save on therent as well. A trip from Miami to the Bahamas is short enoughthat you will not have to worry about major cleaning and cansave money on housekeeping services. The Advantages of PrivateCruising Mega yacht charters are unlike regular cruise ships. Oncommercial cruises there is a social element many people enjoy,but the private cruising really puts you in the captain's chair.A professional captain does the navigating of course, but youare in charge of the destinations. You choose when you willdepart and how long you will stay.

In addition to choosing the itinerary you also get to decide whowill be seated next to you at dinner since a chartered cruisehas only your invited guests. You can even choose the menu andselect the wine, and when the day is done, you retire to a suiteas luxurious as those found in the finest hotels.

Private quarters on a mega yacht charter means you won't have toworry about lugging a suitcase from one vacation spot to thenext. Your room goes with you everywhere! Most yachts of thiscalliper also have full sized baths, exercise facilities andseveral parlours for evening entertaining that never has to end.
