Luxury yacht charter FAQs

Is the itinerary fixed or can I change it?

Your itinerary is entirely bespoke and flexible. Before your superyacht rental holiday, your charter broker will work with you to craft a personalized itinerary based on your preferences.

During the charter, you are free to request changes, although the final decision will always rest with the captain, whose primary concern is the safety and comfort of all guests on board.
