Do your workday blues have you daydreaming about gliding through azure Caribbean waves on a catamaran? On a Catalina Island yacht charter, how about a five-course meal prepared by a private chef? Whatever your deep-blue yearning and preferred yacht-friendly destination, these outstanding boat rentals and yacht charters may guide you to your own personal version of paradise. Review website ReviewRumble.com ranked some of the best out there looking at price, customer service, yacht, and customer reviews.
Fraser Rankted #1
This luxury yacht charter firm offers rentals in locations all over the world, including Antarctica, for everything from motor yachts to classic sailing yachts to crewed superyachts. Fraser's fleet had a 112 percent rise in bookings in 2021, with 40% of clients being first-time renters. Because of the increased demand, charters have reduced the average booking window from three to six months ahead to departure to just seven to ten days. Are you on the fence about handing up the cash? Consider the following scenario: If you're traveling with a group of couples, chartering a yacht will be comparable to taking a luxury cruise, with the added benefit of having the entire vessel to yourself.
All aboard for the Caribbean boat trip of a lifetime. This company offers charters in the United States, the British Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Whether you're planning a proposal or a vacation with your college friends, the Sail.Play.Dine team can put together a customised itinerary that takes use of their insider expertise to pair you with the proper boat and crew. The cost of a captain-only boat for seven days (without meals and drinks) for up to four passengers starts at $7,500, or $9,900 for up to six guests for four nights on an all-inclusive charter. There are also super-luxury yachts in the six-figure range for sale.
Boatsetter is an online marketplace that connects boat owners, rentals, and captains. They also provide a boat rental insurance policy to ensure that peer-to-peer boat rentals are safe, legal, and insured. Book your next cruising, fishing, sailing, or lounging on a sandbar trip with or without a captain using the app or website. There are almost 20,000 boats accessible throughout the United States, the Caribbean, Mexico, the Mediterranean, and other parts of the world. Boatsetter offers boat rentals for as little as $39 per hour, as well as hired luxury mega-yachts that cost thousands of dollars per day.
4. The Mariners Club of Barton & Gray
Are you looking for a club that is focused on membership? This high-end retailer is for you. B&G Mariners Club, founded in 2006 by a motley group of marine, software, and marketing professionals, operates 60-plus yachts in over 30 harbors throughout the United States' Atlantic seaboard, Great Lakes, and now the tropics. Membership fees are $9,800 per quarter and include an unlimited number of boat reservations to their fleet of boats, including the Daychaser '48, the company's first proprietary and exclusive yacht, which will debut in spring 2022.
As the company name affirms, this extensive network of yacht owners is where to charter your next catamaran. Weekly costs start at $9,000 for the entire boat for up to six guests on a “bareboat” charter—i.e. self-captained and -provisioned (requires license and certification). $15,000-plus per week gets you an entire boat for up to six guests on an all-inclusive captained vessel with first mate/chef, full provisioning, and itinerary.
Cruising on a yacht doesn’t always have to break the bank. Here’s where to snag seven-nights from $737 per person with eight different routes to choose from—including Croatia, Tahiti, Greece, the British Virgin Islands, and more. When you’re not nursing a beer on the deck, you’ll be scoping out little-known swimming coves, empty beaches, and hiking until your calves burn. You can either book an entire yacht or, if you’re going solo, reserve a cabin on a shared yacht using the Crew Finder feature.
There are plenty more to choose from, but these 6 above cover a lot of ground. So if you're ready for some sun and sea post COVID then hit up one above before they are all booked out this summer.
