Why one hourly figure is not enough

A yacht charter quote covers more than vessel time. Date, start time, duration, boarding pier and route can create different operating plans for the same yacht, so compare the full scope rather than the first number.

Yacht size and guest count

Larger groups need more deck space, indoor seating and service room. Licensed capacity is the safety ceiling; the practical seating plan determines comfort and helps avoid paying for the wrong size.

Route and duration

A short Bosphorus cruise and a swimming trip near the Princes' Islands have different time and fuel needs. Dining, photography or anchoring should be included in the timetable before the quote is prepared.

Dining and extras

Breakfast, cocktails and dinner require per-person planning. Flowers, cake, photographers, musicians and laser shows may be separate items; request quantities, duration and cancellation terms in writing.

Compare like for like

Check the yacht, total time, pier, fuel, crew, refreshments, taxes and extras on one list. A clear scope is the best protection against unexpected costs on the day.
