A yacht charter is a service that allows individuals or groups to rent a yacht for a specific period. This can range from a few hours to several weeks, depending on the charter agreement. Charters can be bareboat, where the renter operates the yacht themselves, or crewed, where a professional crew manages the vessel and provides services. Yacht charters are popular for vacations, special events, or corporate retreats. They offer a unique way to explore coastal areas and islands, providing access to beautiful scenery and recreational activities like snorkeling, fishing, and island hopping.
