Tips On How To Enjoy Your Crewed Motor Yacht Charter Holiday

By Katrina Wheeler


As holiday ideas go, there are few which can surpass the luxury and sheer adventurism of days sailing in the open seas. For most people, the most workable option for a sailing holiday is getting a crewed motor yacht charter with expert crew members in charge of charting and navigating your voyage so that you can enjoy your time to the fullest. The tips shown below are guaranteed to make your yachting holiday on a crewed sailing boat the best it could ever be.

Before setting off, ensure that the crews are explicitly aware of any preferences, desires or special requests you may have. Indeed, it is customary for the crew to issue forms on which you can indicate your preferences and requests especially when it comes to food or need for privacy. In addition too, make sure that the crews are aware well in advance if you have an existing medical condition which may require some arrangements and if you suffer any allergies.

Captains on sailing boats are invariably very knowledgeable and approachable as this is central to their roles on such luxury trips. As such, striking off easy rapport at the earliest possible moment will help you get a better experience on your holiday. By knowing the captain well, you can get any issue or problem sorted out in time as soon as it occurs.

Crew of yachts are known for going about their business as unobtrusively as possible such that taking them for granted is quite common. It is also important to remember that the crews are not servants and therefore saying 'thank you' for services and giving complements will go a long way towards making your trip memorable. Even when there has been disappointment in the services given, try to remain respectful and courteous at all times.

At time, unforeseen foul weather or some other such condition may make certain destinations on the planned trip inaccessible. During such a turn of events, the captain and crew will make the announcement in time including details of why the change of plans was inevitable. Even if failing to sample the delights of a certain highlight of the tour may be disappointing, flexibility on your part will guarantee that you will enjoy the alternatives just as much.

Do not be puzzled or offended if you find a sign requesting you to take off your shoes when on certain areas of the boat. This precaution is necessary as teak decks found on luxury yachts are very expensive and the crew take plenty of care to ensure the surfaces are pristine at all times. To avoid unnecessary friction, never take black soled shoes or high heels on a yachting holiday.

To make your trip even more enjoyable, do not plan too many things you must accomplish as this may end up all in disappointment. In fact, you are likely to enjoy yourself more if you sit back, relax and take each day one at a time with the surprises and luxuries it will serve. Indeed, trying to check off a lengthy 'to do' list as you keep another eye on the sights is a guarantee for a ruined trip.

A motor yacht charter holiday idea is guaranteed to provide thrills and spills. However, you need to keep these proven tips close at hand if you are to enjoy yourself to the fullest.
