Why choose a motor yacht charter over a sailing yacht charter?

A motor yacht charter offers a more modern luxury experience than a sailing yacht charter , thanks to the boat’s speed and enhanced volume.

Motor yacht charters generally have more space, with larger cabins and salons, higher ceilings, and more break-out areas. This is especially advantageous for larger groups and families or those seeking enhanced yacht accessibility , such as guests with limited mobility.

Express Cruisers for Charter

Faster Power Boats for Luxury Rental

Express cruisers are some of our most sought-after motor yachts for charter. We have a great selection of these motor yachts for rental in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.

Full-displacement Charters

Great for family time — stable and safe

Full displacement vessels offer a great range and are very stable. Full displacement charters are typically at the superyacht and mega yacht range, including expedition vessels.

Trawler Yachts for Charter

Great Volume and Range for Adventure

Trawler boats offer lots of room, are stable in the water, and boast a great range. While they typically have lower speeds, they are powerful and sturdy charter boats. Fuel costs are often lower.

Fishing Motor Yacht Charters

Best for Fishing Trips

Fishing yachts are great for people who love to fish and get together with friends.

List of Motor Yacht Charter Advantages

• More thrills at faster speeds
• Reach destinations quicker
• Motor yachts can be more stable
• Access to most destinations – sailing yachts may not be suitable for all destinations
• Lower draft means motor yachts can get closer to the shore
• Larger garages mean a better selection of water toys and tenders
• A more extensive selection of charter yachts to choose from
• Larger cabins, more space for clothes and bigger heads
• Better conditions for the crew may lead to better service
• More break-out areas for separate family gatherings
• Better for inviting guests and corporate entertainment

Power versus Sailing

Motor yachts are often faster than sailing yachts. This means you can greater distances in a shorter time, enabling you to see and do more on a yacht charter holiday.

Because motor yachts boast larger volumes, they can often accommodate more guests, making them an excellent choice for a multi-generational getaway or a holiday with your closest friends. This enhanced volume means you’ll often find more amenities on a motor boat than on a similar-sized sailing yacht. Typical onboard amenities include full-service spas, swimming pools, hot tubs , state-of-the-art cinema rooms, dedicated gyms and yoga studios and a fantastic selection of toys and tenders. Large superyachts often boast Jet Skis, inflatables, scuba diving, snorkeling and fishing equipment , kayaks and water skis. Some also include submersibles, enabling you to explore the world’s deepest oceans.

Motorboats can also be more stable at speed and anchor thanks to advanced stabilizer systems that minimize roll. This provides enhanced comfort and safety at sea, especially for charter guests suffering from sea sickness.

Finally, motor yachts often boast shallower drafts. This means you can berth in smaller marinas and get closer to beaches than a sailing yacht. However, on a motor yacht charter, you will pay more for fuel and lose on sustainability and the romance of sailing.

What amenities can I expect on a motor yacht charter?

A motor yacht charter is packed with features and entertainment

A luxury motor yacht is built for speed and power, with powerful engines that can reach high speeds and navigate rough waters. Motor yachts for charter have many exciting amenities and entertainment possibilities.

List of Best Amenities to Ask For on a Motor Yacht Charter

AQUILA Motor yacht for charter

The largest yacht to be built in the USA since the 1930s, AQUILA has a majestic presence. Built by Derecktor, she cruised under the name of CAKEWALK, before being sold and completely refitted. In 2016, Pendennis was contracted to undertake the exterior styling with RWD and Susan Young creating the new interior. Following 12 months of hard graft and over 1,000 people working on the project, AQUILA emerged looking like a completely new yacht.

Showstopping yacht with an exceptional crew. A charter favourite.

Inside, a cool, calm and contemporary interior creates an aura of tranquillity. Icy silvers, dark browns peppered with nickel and clean whites are accented with patterned soft furnishings and tasteful lighting. The focal piece of the yacht though has to be the 11.2-metre 'waterfall' chandelier which cascades down four levels from the sun deck down to the lower deck creating shards of light across the white marble floor. Other new features include a cinema room, where an enormous 85-inch screen pulls focus. The owner's deck has been completely remodelled too to now offer access to a 60 square metre private deck overlooking the bow. It also offers in addition to the large suite, a massage room, hair salon, his and hers ensuite and study. A further six cabins, plus an extra staff cabin, offer accommodation for 12 guests in total. The yacht offers an exclusive members' club vibe with a gym, two massage rooms and an impressive new bar called 'the London Bar'.

Italian riviera, cote d'azur, spain & the balearics.

The Italian Riviera, also known as the Ligurian Riviera, has long been a destination for the world’s rich and famous. Tucked between the Cote d’Azur and Tuscany, this narrow strip of land is home to famous locales such as Portofino, Cinque Terre, Bordighera, San Remo, and Genoa. The old-world flair, colorful buildings, and quaint fishing villages exude style and charm; it’s no wonder this is such a popular charter destination.

Also known as the French Riviera, the Cote d’Azur is a hub of new superyachts and private yacht charters. Mediterranean cities and towns such as Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Nice, Antibes, and the principality of Monaco have become world-renowned, with this sun-drenched area acting as the playground of the rich and famous. This beautiful stretch of coastline was one of the first destinations to be considered a “resort area” due to its great weather and idyllic landscapes.

Located approximately 160 km from the French mainland, this island’s culture is an amalgamation of the various foreign nations that have occupied Corsica over the years. The capital of Corsica is the city of Ajaccio, the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, perhaps Corsica’s most infamous son. Corsica has about 1000 km of coastline, much of it accessible only by boat making it perfect for luxury yacht charter . Mediterranean cliffs and mountains cover much of the island and deliver scenery you will not soon forget.

The island of Sardinia is the second largest in the Med and a very popular destination for luxury yacht charter. Mediterranean Costa Smeralda, translated to mean the Emerald Coast, is world-renowned for it’s turquoise seas, rugged landscape, and exclusive resorts and hotels. With its beautiful beaches, stunning scenery, fantastic nightlife, and secret grottos to explore, Sardinia is certainly a yachter’s paradise.

The fabled land of Persephone and Aphrodite, Sicily has been enchanting visitors with its natural beauty for centuries. Located in the center of the Mediterranean, directly off the tip of the boot of Italy, this island has been host to the Greeks, Romans, Spanish, Arabs, Normans, and finally the Italians. This has left an indelible imprint not only on the architecture of the region, but on its people as well. With such a varied and rich history, culture, and scenery, Sicily is not to be missed.

The Mediterranean coast of Spain and it’s Balearic islands offer a fantastic blend of old world culture, thriving nightlife, picturesque scenery, and fabulous cuisine for those on a private yacht charter. Mediterranean cruising will take you down to the islands of Ibiza, Mallorca, and Menorca for sunshine, hidden bays, old world charm, and secluded beaches. Best to stay off the beaten path to truly experience the essence of these islands. Discover ancient fishing villages for mouthwatering tapas and seafood.

16 Yacht Charters That Make for a Strangely Affordable Family Vacation

Posted: December 11, 2023 | Last updated: December 12, 2023

While a yacht may be the first thing that pops to mind when you think of the ultra-wealthy, chartering one might not be as expensive as you think. When you're splitting the costs between several family members or friends you are paying for transportation and stay and it can make sense financially.

You can also  keep money in your wallet  by selecting an older vessel or taking charge of sailing yourself (hiring a crew always costs extra).

So let’s take a look at options that may be within reach for people who aren’t living paycheck to paycheck but aren’t brunching with the Kardashians either.

Editor's note: prices are subject to change and may vary depending on the time of the year.

San Antonio motor yacht

The San Antonio is a luxury motor yacht measuring 146 feet in length that was built in 2018. This huge vessel is capable of accommodating 36 guests in 18 cabins.

The cost to charter it starts at $21,000 per week plus expenses, not including a crew of eight (which we recommend).

Divide the cost by capacity, and that’s only $583 per person per week to start. That’s practically unbeatable for a boat of this size, allowing you to make other savvy moves with your money .

Virginia Mia motor yacht

Constructed in 2001 (with several subsequent refits), the Virginia Mia is another luxury motor yacht that’s 95 feet in length.

Custom-designed by Nuvolari Lenard, this vessel can sleep eight guests in four cabins as well as an additional crew of four.

Still, thanks to the age of the yacht, the cost of chartering starts at $15,000 plus expenses per week, or just under $2,000 per guest sans crew.

Nautilus sailing yacht

White motor yachts are convenient and luxe, sailing yachts promise a more traditional experience.

At nearly 125 feet, the Nautilus is a large option styled by Robert Delus. Built in 2008, it sleeps 10 guests in five cabins. At this size, you'll likely need a crew of six.

The cost to charter this beauty starts at $17,500 per week sans expenses, again just under $2,000 per person — which really isn't bad for all you're getting.

Aegean Clipper sailing yacht

The Aegean Clipper is another sailing vessel, this one built all the way back in 1999 — which translates into cost savings for you.

The yacht is another biggie at nearly 135 feet. With 11 cabins, the boat can accommodate up to 24 guests plus five crew members as needed.

In total, your group will have to shell out a minimum of $13,000 plus expenses per week — just over $379 per person. That's a great deal, comparatively speaking.

Silver Fox expedition yacht

If you're looking for something a little smaller that can go the distance, the Silver Fox expedition yacht might be for you.

Built in 2009, the 72-foot yacht accommodates six guests in three cabins for a more intimate experience. There's room for a crew of two if you need their expertise.

With a starting cost of $16,500 per week, the Silver Fox will run each person over $2,700 per week, but the small group may be worth it.

Tivoli expedition yacht

Traveling with a group of the same size but want more length and a bigger crew?

The Tivoli expedition yacht, constructed in 2001 and remodeled in 2010, can fit four crew members. This stunner is just over 90 feet long and can take you on those long hauls.

Yes, it will cost more at $25,000 per week, or over $4,100 per person. But if you can afford it, it’s a dream come true out on the open water.

Shangri-La classic yacht

Classics are classics for a reason, as they stand the test of time. Such is the case with the Shangri-La, a vintage yacht sure to take you to that magical place.

This vessel sleeps six in three cabins and promises to be child-friendly. The Shangri-La was constructed way back in 1965, and it is 82 feet long with space for three crew members.

A week on this rig will cost you $16,500, or just over $2,700 a pop.

Sai Kung classic yacht

Another vintage beauty, the Sai Kung classic yacht was born in 1975 and got a makeover in 2015. That updated this 79-foot vessel that can sleep nine people in four cabins.

Be sure you’re a nautical whiz, as there’s no room for additional crew here, but that will only save you money.

All told, the Sai Kung will set your group back $17,500 per week, just under $2,000 per person.

Glorious open yacht

Outdoor yachts are designed for those who truly want to live outside, which you can do easily on the Glorious.

This sporty 72-footer is ready to help you dive, scuba, and more, with room for six guests in three cabins. You can bring a crew of two for extra help, of course.

Built in 2007 and remodeled nine years later, chartering the Glorious will run you $16,500 per week, again $2,700 per person.

9 nearly secret things to do if you fly Southwest

Speedy T open yacht

Looking for a bigger open yacht that’s perfect for swim buffs? Charter the Speedy T, a vessel that’s 80 feet long and primed for dips in refreshing ocean waters.

Like many of the yachts on this list, it accommodates six guests in three cabins and has room for three crew members.

All told, one week on this sleek ship — built in 1994 and renovated in 2011 — is $19,500 before expenses, translating to $3,250 per head. But the adventure promises to be unforgettable.

Etoile Magique catamaran yacht

With extra stability even at higher speeds, catamaran yachts like the Etoile Magique are great options for adventure.

This 80-foot vessel is roomy for its size, with room for 16 guests in eight cabins. There’s space for a three-person crew, too.

Constructed in 2004 and remodeled a decade later, this is a budget-friendly adventure in the making. At $18,710 per week before expenses, that shakes out to a bit over $1,100 apiece.

Fuerte 3 catamaran yacht

Meaning “strong” in Spanish, the Fuerte 3 catamaran yacht — built in 2004 and renovated in 2010 — offers a more intimate experience than the Etoile Magique, with space for nine guests in four cabins.

On the smaller side, at 67 feet, you can bring two crew members along if you need them. The price tag for one week is around $22,000, or just over $2,400 a pop. This vessel is best in shallower waters.

Astrape sport fishing yacht

If your idea of the perfect vacation is sport fishing, this boat is for you. The Astrape sport fishing yacht comes with top-of-the-line fishing equipment so you can catch your dream fish.

Built in 2008 and remodeled in 2016, the 76-foot vessel sleeps eight in four cabins. It also has room for three crew members.

On the pricier side at $29,000, a week will cost each person nearly $3,700 — worth it if you can show off that once-in-a-lifetime catch, though!

Barefoot sport fishing yacht

Giving us some real Orca energy, the Barefoot sport fishing yacht was built in 2006 — much later than that famed vessel from "Jaws."

The 64-foot boat is designed for fishing in shallower waters, perfect for you and five friends who will share three cabins. Two crew members can fit, too.

This yacht is cheaper than the Astrape at $17,500, so six folks will pay just under $3,000 a head per week.

Prenses Lila gulet yacht

Gulet yachts are known for their tall masts, ample deck space, and Turkish origins — perfect for a Mediterranean voyage.

To that end, the Prenses Lila is an excellent option for groups of 18. At 114 feet with eight cabins and space for five crew members, this boat beckons.

You can charter Prenses Lila — built in 2009 and remodeled in 2009 — for $17,500 per week in September.

Dreamland gulet yacht

The second gulet yacht and the final boat we’re covering is Dreamland, which will surely take you there. 

Constructed in 2006, 12 guests can sleep in six suites on this 105-foot vessel as well as five crew members.

You can book Dreamland for around $26,000 in high season. Divide that by 12, and you land on about $2,200 per person. That might require some financial fitness , but yachts like this don’t come around every day.

Bottom line

Spending your days sunning and swimming aboard a luxurious yacht may seem like an out-of-reach proposition, but we’re here to tell you it’s possible.

In fact, with planning and savvy budgeting, you can score your dream seafaring adventure. You can even use your favorite credit card to book and earn travel rewards .

Traveling by charter yacht is also more environmentally friendly than flying, which means you can feel good about your sailing vacation.

51m Palmer Johnson Helios 2 sold

The 51.1-metre Helios 2 has been sold in an in-house deal with Dirk Johnson and Bruce Brakenhoff of Edmiston .

Built in 2002 in the US by Palmer Johnson , the all-aluminium yacht was refitted in 2023. Her exterior is by Sparkman & Stephens , who also handled the yacht's naval architecture. Interiors are by Patrick Knowles Designs .

Helios 2 accommodates "ten plus four" guests in five cabins, including a full-beam owner's suite on the main deck. The remaining cabins are located on the lower deck with two queen-sized doubles and two king-sized doubles that can convert to twins, the latter with two additional Pullman berths each. There are additional quarters for 12 crew.

Her main saloon, finished in semi-gloss anigré, leads to a formal but relaxed dining area forward, flanked by crystal, china and silver storage cabinets. The skylounge above also connects seamlessly with the bridge deck outdoor dining table.

Helios 2 sports a Jacuzzi surrounded by sunpads on the sundeck, along with a bar, a barbecue and carefully-stored exercise equipment. Brakenhoff pointed out that she combines pedigree build, traditional styling and expert design, and that she has been "remarkably well kept by the fastidious owner and captain under a thorough maintenance program".

Unusual for a yacht of this size, Helios 2 has a side shell door for easy tender access. Her bathing platform leads up to the air-conditioned aft deck which is a popular spot for al fresco dining.

The 555GT yacht offers a cruising speed of 13 knots under twin 1,000hp Caterpillar engines and a maximum range of 4,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. Her top speed is 14.8 knots.

Helios 2 was asking $15,900,000.
