Yacht charter: Find the perfect yacht for your dream vacation
A yacht charter is more than just a vacation – it’s an adventure on the water that combines freedom, luxury and unforgettable experiences.
The right yacht size
The size of the yacht is one of the first things you should consider. It determines not only the comfort on board, but also how many people can accompany you on your trip.
Small yachts, up to 35 feet in length, are particularly suitable for couples or small groups. These yachts offer a cozy and intimate atmosphere in which you quickly feel at home. Thanks to their maneuverability and easy handling, they are ideal for beginners who are still getting to know sailing. On these boats, you will experience the closeness to the sea and the freedom of sailing particularly intensively.
Medium-sized yachts, measuring between 35 and 45 feet, offer an excellent compromise between space and manageability. They are ideal for families or groups of up to six people. The extra space ensures that everyone on board has enough room, while the yacht remains easy to maneuver. These yachts offer a good balance between comfort and sailing performance and are versatile – whether you are planning a relaxing cruise in calm waters or a more sporty adventure.
Yachts from 45 feet are ideal for larger groups or longer trips. These large yachts not only offer plenty of space, but also luxurious amenities. You can have a good time here – whether on the sun terrace, in the spacious saloon or in the comfortable cabins. These yachts are often looked after by a professional crew, who ensure that you don’t have to worry about a thing and can enjoy your vacation to the full.
Catamaran or monohull – which is better?
The decision between a catamaran and a monohull depends heavily on your personal preferences and sailing experience.
Catamarans, which are characterized by their two hulls, offer a lot of space and stability. These yachts lie calmly in the water, which is particularly advantageous for families with children or less experienced sailors. Even when the swell gets a little rougher, the catamaran remains stable and offers a pleasant ride. The generous space on deck and in the cabins makes catamarans ideal for groups who value comfort and a relaxed sailing experience.
Monohulls , on the other hand, embody the classic sailing experience. These monohull yachts offer a sportier sailing experience and convey a more intense sense of adventure. Sailors who love the authentic feeling of sailing will prefer the monohull. The ship leans into the wind, which makes sailing more dynamic and challenging. If you are an experienced sailor or want to experience sailing from its purist side, then a monohull is the right choice.

Cabins and bathrooms – comfort on board
The comfort on board depends heavily on the number and layout of the cabins and the equipment of the wet rooms. Depending on the size of the group and individual needs, you should choose the yacht carefully. If you are traveling with several people, there should be enough cabins available so that everyone has their own place to retreat to. Especially on longer trips, it is important that everyone has enough space and privacy to feel comfortable.
The facilities in the bathrooms also play a major role in the comfort on board. Make sure that there are enough showers and toilets, especially if you are traveling with a larger group. In yachts with several bathrooms, the morning rush is avoided and everyone can freshen up in peace. Some yachts also offer separate areas for the crew, which provides additional privacy. This is particularly advantageous if you have a professional crew on board to look after the well-being of your guests.

Why it’s worth taking a closer look
The age and condition of the yacht are decisive factors for your safety and the overall sailing experience. Yacht maintenance is just as important. A regularly maintained yacht is more reliable and minimizes the risk of technical problems during the cruise.
Choosing a reliable charter company is the key to a successful yacht charter. Choose a charter company with a good reputation that offers a wide range of yachts. Such a company attaches great importance to the maintenance and safety of its fleet and ensures that each yacht is in perfect condition.
