“You Make the Memories, We’ll Make the Arrangements”
Yacht Rentals for a week in the Caribbean

Once reserved for royalty and the elite, a private yacht charter now welcomes travelers looking for privacy, luxury, and adventure.

Chartering a yacht provides exceptional luxury and freedom, with a professional crew handling every detail of your trip. The CKIM Group Inc. is a team of charter brokers and travel advisors who specialize in crewed yacht vacations. We assist clients with everything from yacht charters and travel planning to budgeting.

What sets a private yacht charter apart from cruises?

A private yacht charter offers total privacy. Unlike a cruise, where you share space with others, a yacht provides privacy. You can enjoy every moment with your loved ones and a dedicated crew.

Every detail is customizable—tailored itineraries, personalized service, and refined comfort. From moonlit dinners on deck to exploring hidden coves, the experience centers entirely on your desires.

Luxurious amenities like gourmet dining and spacious cabins enhance the journey. Moreover, advanced entertainment systems elevate it to a new level of comfort and luxury.

Crew and Services on a Private Yacht

A professional crew is key to a luxury yacht charter. They handle navigation, maintenance, and provide excellent service to guests.

Gourmet dining is a favorite for many of our clients, with chefs preparing delicious meals just for them. From fresh seafood to special dishes, al fresco dining is a memorable experience.

In addition to dining, you can enjoy various activities. Swim in clear waters, snorkel among colorful coral reefs, or relax on a paddleboard. Your private crew is always available to help.

To improve your time onboard, extra services like yoga instructors or massage therapists can be arranged.

Types of Private Yacht Charters

Yacht rentals are available in two categories: crewed or bareboat. If you want to be the captain yourself, choose a bareboat charter. For a stress-free experience, go for a crewed yacht with a captain and chef who take care of everything.

Here are the yachts available for a private charter:

  • Motor yachts, known for their speed and luxury, are perfect for those who wish to explore multiple destinations quickly.
  • Sailing yacht charters offer a traditional, serene experience by harnessing wind for propulsion. They can be monohulls with one hull or catamarans with two hulls.
  • Power catamarans, with their dual hulls, offer superior stability and extra space, ideal for families or larger groups.

Choosing the Perfect Yacht for Your Getaway

Choosing the right private yacht charter plays a role in defining your overall experience. Consider the yacht’s size and amenities to match your travel needs and budget.

  • Larger yachts, generally over 100 feet, include pools, bars, and private cinemas. Smaller vessels offer a more intimate experience while still providing a high level of luxury.
  • Consider key amenities such as a full-service spa, a Jacuzzi, or top-tier water sports equipment. Some yachts may also provide scuba diving and kitesurfing lessons, which could involve additional costs.

Destinations can also affect your choice, as some yachts are only available in certain areas and climates. At CKIM, we offer yacht charters in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and other top spots.

  • The Caribbean is a popular choice for yacht charters. It offers clear waters, private beaches, and vibrant marine life—perfect for a winter getaway. Visit the British Virgin Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Grenadines.
  • The Mediterranean is also an excellent choice, with its azure waters and stunning coastlines. Explore the Greek Islands or cruise the Adriatic Sea on a motor yacht. Alternatively, sail to the South of France to attend the Cannes Film Festival aboard a private yacht.
  • The South Pacific offers amazing beaches and abundant marine life, perfect for scuba diving, along with unique cultural experiences.
  • The Bahamas is a popular sailing destination for private yacht vacations. Pig Beach offers a unique swimming-with-pigs experience.

Crafting a Personalized Itinerary with ILX Travel

One of the best things about a private yacht charter is creating a custom itinerary. Picture visiting peaceful fishing villages one day and swimming in quiet bays the next. With ILX Travel, you can have this freedom, as they design a special yachting route just for you.

Cost Breakdown of Private Yacht Chartering

The base charter fee includes the yacht rental, crew services, and any water toys provided. Additional costs, such as fuel, dockage fees, and provisioning, may apply. It is also customary to tip the crew 10% to 20% of the base fee.

Larger private yachts generally cost $50,000 to $100,000 or more per week, while smaller boats start at around $20,000 per week.

Please note that seasonality affects charter prices. Charters during Christmas and New Year’s are more expensive than all other months of the year.

Expert Tips for a Successful Yacht Charter Experience
