Benefits of classic sailing yacht charter - S/Y EROS

You can select many different types of yachts to charter. However, many find they just can’t beat the uniqueness and nostalgia of a classic sailing yacht charter. They offer a fantastic sailing experience, all while also providing optimal services as well.

However, these sailing yacht charters are not all silver linings since they may have a few drawbacks. Let’s look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of classic sailing yacht charters without further ado.

Advantages of a Classic Sailing Yacht Charter

There are numerous advantages of this type of yacht category, the first one being the adventure it carries with it. These are classic vessels, and they carry an air of romanticism, making them memorable for sailing. Apart from that, these sailing yachts are also environmentally friendly, unlike motor yachts, which are less environmentally friendly.

Classic sailing yachts use wind power to cruise, undoubtedly resulting in much less fuel cost. Furthermore, they provide a calm and soothing experience since they don’t have loud engine noises compared to motorized vessels.

Disadvantages

These sailing yachts may often come with some disadvantages as well. A few classic sailing yachts depend on the wind, which can provide an advantage but also prove to be a big drawback.

Since they rely primarily on the wind as a power source, the yacht could leave you at nature’s mercy. Thus, you must hope the winds are good if you want to reach your destination quickly. Nevertheless, don’t fret too much because sailing yachts have a small motor for these situations. There also may be some spacing issues with classic sailing charters, which some guests may not appreciate. However, this certainly is not always the case, as many are newer vessels created with the nostalgic appearance of more classic sailing yachts. One of these yachts, S/Y Aurelius, was built in 2019 as a replica. In addition, EROS, as well as Columbia, are all worth taking a look at!

If you want to go green, charter a classic sailing yacht. Or, if you are much more focused on functionality, modern ones may be your best bet.

Enjoying a British Virgin Islands Yacht Charter on a Classic Sailing Yacht is a must. Exploring the BVI on a sailboat and sailing up Sir Francis Drake Channel would be a time you’d almost certainly never forget and cherish for a lifetime.
