Weekly Charter

Get a free charter shortlist

Reading rate tables is research. Booking a week is a decision. If you are between the two, this is the shortcut: tell us where, when, and roughly what budget, and we reply with a shortlist of three yachts we would actually book for that trip, with a one-paragraph honest note on each — including the one we would pick and why.

No obligation, no broker pressure, and we do not pass your details to anyone. If you book through one of our partner brokers we earn a referral fee, paid by the broker, at no cost to you — how we make money. The shortlist is the same either way.

What you get

Three yachts, matched to your destination, dates, party size, and budget. For each: the weekly rate we would expect to pay (not the listing rate), what the yacht is genuinely good at, the honest caveat, and which broker holds real availability. If your dates or budget do not work for the destination, we say so and suggest the nearest week or region that does.

What we need from you

Three things only: your email, the destination and dates, and a rough budget with guest count. That is enough to shortlist properly. Anything else — mobility needs, kids' ages, dietary requirements for the crew brief — comes later, after you have picked a direction.
