A fully crewed yacht charter is the ultimate sailing experience—combining comfort, service, and seamless travel. Your yacht comes with a dedicated professional crew, typically including a captain, cook/chef, and one or more hostesses or deckhands. They handle all aspects of the journey—from navigation and maintenance to meals, cleaning, and service—so you can fully relax and enjoy life on board.

This type of charter is ideal for:

• Guests seeking maximum comfort and luxury
• Those who prefer not to sail or manage the vessel
• Groups celebrating a special occasion or simply wanting to be looked after
• Families or travellers new to sailing who want an easy, indulgent holiday

Fully crewed yachts range from elegant sailing catamarans to high-end motor yachts, which often include more space, speed, and onboard amenities. Your crew will tailor the itinerary to your preferences, suggest stunning anchorages, and ensure every detail is taken care of—from gourmet meals to water toys.

If you're after a truly effortless sailing holiday, where every moment is curated for comfort and enjoyment, a fully crewed charter is the way to go.
