How can we be of Service?

How long is a yacht charter season?

Yachting has two main seasons: summer (May to October) in the Mediterranean and winter (November to April) in the Caribbean, peaking at Christmas and New Year. Booking in the shoulder seasons offers crowd avoidance, flexible rates, and a wider selection.

Where can I charter a yacht?

With access to a global fleet of yachts for charter all over the world, Y.CO offers diverse yachting destinations. In the summer, the Mediterranean is a top choice, while the Bahamas and Caribbean draw many clients during the winter months.

How much does it cost to charter a yacht?

Charter rates are typically quoted by the week and prices vary depending on the model of the yacht, size, year built, and onboard amenities. Most yachts have higher rates during peak season (July, August, Christmas and New Year) with lower rates throughout the rest of the year.

How do I charter a yacht?

If you're a complete beginner when it comes to yacht charter, don't worry. Our team of experts will guide you through the entire process. From choosing the perfect yacht and negotiating the best rates to fine-tuning your exclusive itinerary, we've got you covered.

Choose from over 15 amazing destinations throughout the Mediterranean , Caribbean , Americas and Exotics . Take a look at our 2023 brochure and book your all-inclusive crewed charter today.

What is a Crewed Yacht Charter?

A crewed yacht charter is a type of private charter where a Captain and Chef team join you aboard your yacht for the duration of your sailing vacation. 

Your crew will be there to cater for your every need, from navigating the waters and leading you to your next destination, to serving up fresh, delicious meals and refreshing drinks throughout the day. They will cook, clean and sail so that you can enjoy the most relaxing vacation possible. 

Your experienced crew will also be able to provide expertise and inside knowledge about your destination, from the most secluded beaches in Grenada to the best places to immerse yourself into Greek culture.

If you want to feel like the VIP of the sea, book a luxury crewed yacht charter with The Moorings.

What's Included

• Captain and Chef
• Watersports Equipment
• Fuel & Most Mooring Ball Fees
• All Meals, Snacks, and Beverages*
• 2 Bean Bags (Not in Italy)
• Fully Stocked Bar*
• Housekeeping Services
• Air Conditioning

Our Crewed Fleet

The crewed charter experience begins with your expertly crafted yacht, which leaves you with a smooth ride, open spaces, and state-of-the-art features to give you the best onboard experience. Innovative and cutting edge, you’ll rule the waves as you cruise around in style on a crewed yacht charter.

Each yacht’s spacious decks and open interiors mean you can spend as much time as you want onboard without ever feeling crowded. Designed with comfort in mind, you can sip cocktails up on deck and soak up the sun as your skipper navigates the open waters for you. Our crewed yachts range from 4-6 cabins, so you have plenty of choice when it comes to deciding who to share your crewed yacht charter with.

The only question left to ask is, will you enjoy your luxury crewed yacht charter on our new Moorings Crewed 5000 Catamaran , M oorings Crewed 534 Power Catamaran or Moorings Crewed 5800 Master Catamaran ?

While bareboat, skippered and crewed yacht charters are all stylish, fun and relaxing, they each offer a unique way to sail and explore..

On a bareboat charter , you will take responsibility for skippering your own yacht and guiding yourself around your chosen destination. No crew will join you on board, although our base crew will be on hand to support you whenever necessary. On a skippered charter , an experienced skipper will take the helm for all or part of your vacation so you can relax up on deck when you want, while also having the choice to guide yourself around for part of the charter.

These differ from a crewed yacht charter, as a Captain and Chef team will join you for your entire vacation and take care of everything so that you can focus on relaxing and unwinding. Like the bareboat charter, you will still have the freedom to choose your own itinerary and, similarly to the skippered charter, your experienced crew will be able to share local knowledge and tips to make your charter even more special.

Learn more about the different types of yacht charters we offer at The Moorings.

At The Moorings, we provide everything you could possibly need to enjoy a blissful crewed yacht charter in the Mediterranean , Caribbean and beyond. Whether you need Wi-Fi to share magical moments captured in the BVI , water sports equipment to have a thrilling afternoon in the crystal clear waters of Greece or bean bags to relax and soak up the sun in Belize , we’ve got you covered.

Take a look at what’s included on our luxury crewed yacht charters:

• 2 Bean Bags (Not in Italy )

*For more information, view the full list of what’s included on your crewed boat charter. You can also check out our extensive list of optional extras to make your yacht charter even more special.

An all-inclusive yacht charter gives you the ultimate VIP treatment, allowing you to relax and unwind while also enjoying freedom and privacy whenever you want it. From sensational, authentic food to experienced skippers who will guide you around your chosen destination, a crewed yacht charter offers a slice of paradise. The cost of a luxury crewed yacht charter will differ depending on a number of factors, including:

• Which of our incredible destinations you charter a yacht in ( Mediterranean , Caribbean , Americas or Exotics )
• How long you want to charter a crewed yacht for
• What time of year you hire a crewed yacht charter
• Which type of state-of-the-art yachts you choose (we have 9 crewed yacht models available to charter)
• What your itinerary looks like
• Any day-to-day costs and spending money

Why: Choose a Mediterranean Yacht Charter?

Mediterranean yacht charter vacations are always by far and away the most popular summer location. You can read hundreds of our client endorsements here . Think the French Riviera, Monaco, Italy, Croatia, Sardinia, Spain and Greece. This is where most of the large crewed superyachts are concentrated and this is where also where you will find a huge variety of interesting places and cultures to experience. The Mediterranean (or Med’ for short) has everything. The area covers a large diversity of countries, cultures landscapes and experiences. Yet, the fantastic thing is that they are relatively close together, so you can create convenient and action packed itineraries very easily. On top of this, the yachting infrastructure in Europe is second to none so there are dozens of beautiful marinas filled with beautiful private superyachts and mega yachts that can be chartered as well as all the shops, restaurants, bars and conveniences that you could need. Because of its popularity the Mediterranean has an incredible choice of charter boats available to rent, both motor (power) yachts and sailing yachts, including the ever more widespread large luxury private superyacht charters.

How Much Does it Cost To Charter a Yacht in The Mediterranean?

Mediterranean yacht charter prices vary according to the size, style and age of the yacht. Our luxury superyacht charter yachts rent from 30,000 Euro to over 1,000,000 per week, plus expenses, in the form of an advanced provisioning allowance (APA). Conversely, smaller 'all inclusive' type vacations cost between Euro 15,000 to 50,000 per week. Here is the full list of all the charter yachts and here are the current Mediterranean yachts with special discounted prices .

Timing & Weather: The Mediterranean Yachting Season

The Mediterranean yachting season generally runs from April to the end of October. During the height of the season, in July and August, the climate is warm and sunny and the winds tend to be light. While this is the high season for all tourism, you can still easily avoid onshore tourists while afloat. The weather can also be good during the shoulder seasons.

Tip: Shoulder Season Means Value & Choice

Another good time to charter your yacht is generally on either of the shoulder seasons from April-May and September-October. These periods fall each side of the main summer season when the temperatures are still comfortable. September, for instance, is an underrated time of the year because the weather is usually good (if not too hot) but the sea is at its maximum temperature which is ideal for swimming. At this time there is greater choice of berths and anchorages for your boating vacation and the onshore tourists are not present in their largest numbers.

Important Spots: Consider These For Your Mediterranean Yacht Charter

Mediterranean yachting holiday locations are unequaled in their natural beauty, cultural heritage, passion, glamour and style. There was a time when the Mediterranean was the center of the known and civilized world and for private yacht charter vacations, to an extent, it still is. Today, the clear azure waters of the Mediterranean maintain a cachet of culture, history, sophistication, luxury yachts and stunning beauty, all with an endearing reputation of unrestrained energy.

The sunny Mediterranean is often conveniently split into two main areas - The Western Mediterranean and the Eastern Mediterranean . Both parts are culturally unique, yet both are lipped with stunning beaches, hidden coves, majestic ports and luxury yachts. Yachts of all sizes and shapes grace the Mediterranean, some are large motor yachts, some are sleek sailing yachts, some performance orientated and others of a more comfortable cruising style. This fabled area provides the untamed extravagance of the French Riviera , the gravity-defying architecture of the Italian coasts, the unaffected charms of Croatia, the fragrant orange groves of Spain , the exotic lure of Turkey and Greece , the birthplace of civilization.

"There was a time when the Mediterranean was the center of the known and civilized world and for private yacht charter vacations, to an extent, it still is."

The Mediterranean charter area takes in the Tyrrhenian, Ionian, Aegean and Adriatic seas. It includes the austere and striking islands of Sardinia , Corsica , the Balearics and Malta . Some of the most famous private yacht charter spots include Monaco , Nice , Cannes , St Tropez , Capri , Portofino , Amalfi , Positano, Porto Cervo, Palma de Mallorca , Valencia , Barcelona, Dalmatians, Corfu, Mykonos, Piraeus, Bodrum and Marmaris, to name a few. And some of the charter boat countries bordering the Mediterranean include France , Spain , Italy, Croatia , and Greece .

Local News | LoveBug, 103-foot capsized yacht, raised from water ahead of towing to New Jersey

Donjon Marine Co., the New Jersey-based firm that has worked to raise the vessel over the last two weeks, plans to begin towing the yacht north through the Chesapeake Bay and the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal to the mouth of the Maurice River in New Jersey Tuesday morning, said Steven Newes, the company’s senior vice president.

The salvage team will tow the LoveBug alongside the Farrell 256, a 200-foot crane barge, for safety, as the yacht is a “dead ship,” or a vessel without power, he said. Once it reaches the mouth of the Maurice River, the yacht will be handed over to a smaller vessel for transport to a shipyard along the river. Delivery is anticipated by Wednesday evening although which shipyard the LoveBug will end up at is unclear.

As salvage efforts wrap up, the Coast Guard has established a temporary safety zone for the mouth of West River within 200 yards of the LoveBug. Vessels will not be allowed to enter the zone unless authorized through Aug. 30, according to a notice posted Monday on the Federal Register .

The Farrell 256 and a second crane barge, the 250-foot Columbia NY, have worked to free the yacht from the muddy bottom of the West River. The LoveBug had settled into the mud “quite a bit,” Newes said, complicating efforts to place slings underneath the yacht to lift it.

Salvors’ progress lifting the LoveBug from the shallow waterway could be seen Friday and Saturday as the rear half of the yacht, underwater for weeks, emerged. By Friday evening, the yacht’s name on its transom was visible above the waterline, and by Sunday morning, only a small portion of the deck at the back of the yacht was underwater.

Once the yacht was lifted, salvors found mud inside. The mud needs to be removed to patch the yacht and “render it safely afloat” for towing, Newes said.

Until salvage crews pulled the LoveBug from the water, the yacht had remained aground in the same location between Beverly Beach and Shady Side for almost four weeks. Though the yacht was originally resting on its starboard, or right side, it rolled some prior to salvage beginning.

The Italian-built yacht was sailing south on the Chesapeake Bay from Annapolis on July 27 when it began to tip over. The Coast Guard received a mayday call at 12:36 p.m., but by the time crews arrived, the five people onboard had been rescued by a good Samaritan and a nearby towboat. Paramedics tended to two of the passengers, according to the Anne Arundel County Fire Department, but both declined to be treated.

The LoveBug, which cost between $110,000 and $125,000 to charter for a week, was not operating as a charter when it overturned, said Hunter Dortenzo, a Natural Resources Police spokesperson.

Though VesselFinder, a marine traffic site, indicated the LoveBug is owned by Bees Honey LLC, a limited liability company based in the Marshall Islands, Federal Communications Commission records show otherwise.

The yacht’s shipboard radio station license is registered to Jabulani Charter Florida, a Florida-based limited liability company with a Rockville mailing address. The licensee should be the vessel owner, according to an FCC spokesperson. Efforts to reach the person listed as the licensee were unsuccessful.

The Natural Resources Police and the National Transportation Safety Board are conducting separate investigations into what happened to the yacht.
