Start with the way you want to travel

A few details help define the right yacht and charter terms.

Dates and departure

Share your intended dates, trip length and preferred embarkation point.

Your group

Guest numbers and cabin requirements guide the choice of layout.

Route and pace

Coastal stops, longer crossings or quiet anchorages: tell us how you would like to spend your time.

Budget and details

Provisions, onboard equipment and any shore arrangements need to be confirmed in the proposal.

Choosing a yacht for your journey

These are planning categories, not an inventory. Capacity, equipment and availability depend on the individual yacht.

Motor yachts

For coastal outings or longer itineraries. Consider the space on board alongside the planned route.

Superyachts

Options with multiple decks and separate guest spaces. Cabin, crew and equipment details are confirmed for each yacht.

Large yachts

For more complex requirements, berthing options and charter terms matter as much as size.

Sailing yachts

For those who want sailing to be part of the journey. The itinerary must account for weather and the yacht’s capabilities.

Private travel at sea

Choose a luxury yacht charter around your itinerary

A coastal day out, a family escape and a longer voyage call for different yachts and different planning. For private luxury travel at sea, consider the pace of the journey, cabin layout and intended stops alongside the space on board.

FirstLane acts as a broker, helping you explore charter proposals rather than offering an owned yacht fleet. Options are discussed around your preferred region, dates, guest numbers and the availability of individual yachts.

Match the yacht to the way you want to travel

For a short outing, shared deck spaces and the embarkation point may matter most. A longer voyage also calls for attention to cabins, privacy and planned crossings. Tell us whether you prefer quiet anchorages or frequent stops ashore.

When considering a motor yacht or sailing yacht, assess the intended route alongside the vessel’s capabilities. The itinerary must account for conditions, weather and berthing options; crew arrangements and onboard amenities are clarified in the proposal for the selected yacht.

Understand the proposal and the cost drivers

Yacht type, dates, trip length and route all influence costs. Fuel, provisions, port fees and separately requested transfers may be additional to the charter fee. The specific proposal and contract define their scope and how they are charged.

To request a proposal, share your region, intended dates, embarkation point, guest numbers, cabin needs and budget. Note any flexibility in those details. An enquiry is not a booking: yacht availability and charter terms must be confirmed separately.

Yacht charter planning questions

What should I share if I do not yet have an itinerary?

Start with your preferred region, dates or travel window, intended duration and guest numbers. Cabin needs, budget and the kind of experience you want help narrow the options; individual stops can be discussed later.

Should I choose a day charter or a longer voyage?

For a day charter, start with the embarkation point and the coastline realistically within reach. For a longer voyage, cabins, overnight arrangements and crossings also matter. Both depend on yacht availability and the applicable charter terms.

Do all yachts offer the same crew and amenities?

No. Captain and crew arrangements, cabins, dining options and water sports equipment vary by yacht. Share essential requirements in advance; only the scope recorded in the specific proposal and contract should be treated as confirmed.

Does the charter fee cover every cost?

Not necessarily. Fuel, provisions, port fees and transfers may be charged separately. Insurance should not be assumed to be included either; the specific proposal and contract must clarify how these items are handled.
