Yacht charter

Most bareboat charter companies offer basic seamanship courses to prepare clients for handling a boat.

[1] Several factors determine the cost of a charter, including the size of the yacht, its age, its pedigree, the number of crew, time of sailing (whether it is high season or not), and the destination.

The worldwide range of charter prices (per person per week) is estimated to be from $1000 up to and in excess of $20,000.

A captain, a chef, a deck's hand and a hostess are a typical crew.

Skippered charter usually is used for yachts which require a skipper/captain with documented special nautical skills and experience.
