How much does a boat charter cost?

The cost of a boat charter depends on several factors. A few of these include the season when you wish to have your yacht charter experience, the size and model of your private yacht charter, the duration of your trip, and the number of people on board.

If you wish to rent a boat with a captain and/or crew to your private yacht charter, this will also come at an extra cost, as well as if you decide to add water sports equipment to your charter.

Below, you can find a list of average prices according to the boat type and the number of people on board:

Sailboats

A sailboat rental is usually available for an average price of $1,500 per week for a boat that will fit 6 people. There are many different types of sailing yachts you can search for to find the best fit for your group.

Catamarans

A catamaran rental costs on average $4,000 per week for 8 people. However, a catamaran rental can vary largely in size.

Motorboats

Motor yachts are generally rented for shorter periods. They can cost anywhere from around $400 per day in cheaper locations, and up to around $4000 per day in more sought-after locations.

Is it possible to rent a yacht with a Captain?

If you don't have a boat license or simply want to enjoy your yacht charter vacation in complete peace of mind, it is possible to take it to the sea with a skipper. You will find the option to do so when you try to book the boat. A captain will be able to guide you to your destination and show you the best the region has to offer.

Scansail can help you search for yacht vacations with or without a captain. You can learn the best boating practices from charter experts while you enjoy your private yacht charter with family and friends.

For novices wishing for a luxury yacht charter without a skipper, the criteria for chartering a boat without a license depends on the legislation of your destination. In France, for example, it is based on the size and power of the boat, so it is important to find out beforehand. But don't forget that a yacht rental with a captain is an opportunity to learn from a seasoned sailor!
