Dreaming of sunset Aperol spritzes off Capri or midnight swims in a quiet Ionian cove? This no-fluff guide shows you—step by step—how to book your first crewed yacht and sail like you were born on deck.
1. Why Charter a Yacht at All?

- Floating resort – gourmet chef, water toys, and your own crew.
- Surprising value – when six cabins split the bill, cost per head rivals boutique villas.

- Base rate: Weekly hire of the vessel.
- APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance): 20–35 % for fuel, food, docking.
- Gratuity: 10–15 % of base rate for the crew.
- Taxes: Vary by region (e.g. 12 % in Greece).
