Your charter fee covers far more than the yacht itself. Here is a plain guide to the equipment, comforts, and support you can expect on board, so you know what to confirm before you sign.
1.What The Fee Covers
Cabins, Crew, And Safety Equipment
In most cases the yacht is carefully chosen along with key features important to the charterer:
- Number of Cabins
- Crew
- Age of the Yacht
- Air Conditioning or fans in the cabins
- AC Inverter
We created this short blog to help you understand more generally what is included in a typical agreement. If are in the process of booking a yacht, please ensure that you find out the specific items included in your contract.
Safety Equipment
All safety equipment is provided for by the charter company. It is their responsibility to maintain and test that the equipment remains working and in a good state. EPIRBS, life raft and tender (the little boat to take you ashore) are included in your Yacht Charter fee.
2.Onboard Essentials And Support
Navigation, Linen, Galley, And Breakdown Help
Working GPS’s and updated charts are provided. The charts can be used as back-up in case anything is to go wrong with the GPS system. Many charter companies often include books on the local waters with information such as maps as to where one can dock as opposed to mooring as well as prices and contact details if one wants to book a birth in the harbour.
Fresh Linen & Cleaning Services
Fresh linen is provided in each cabin of your chartered yacht. This includes pillows, towels, sheets and blankets. The boat will be clean upon your arrival as well as cleaners will come in after your disembarkation.
Cooking Utensils
Expect the basics, most galleys are equipped with a fair array cooking utensils. It will depend on your boat, however, many yacht charters go over and above in providing for all your cooking (and even baking) needs thus providing you with everything you’ll need to cook on board.
Breakdown Support
If ever anything is to go wrong on your Yacht Charter trip, the Yacht Charter company is on standby to come and assist you regardless of how far away you are from the port.
