Private yacht charter or shared cruise: choosing your format

A private charter and a seat on a shared cruise meet different needs. One is arranged for your guest group under agreed terms; the other follows a programme with additional passengers.

Compare flexibility

Private bookings allow advance discussion of food, activities and route preferences within operational limits. Shared cruises should be assessed against the specific provider's schedule and inclusions.

Compare complete costs

Match duration, food, transport and extras. A per-seat price cannot be directly compared with the whole-yacht price; divide the private total by confirmed participants if useful.

Choose by purpose

For a personal celebration, consider the private format carefully. For one or two travellers wanting a ready-made outing, compare the contents of available programmes.
