Yachts
Your yacht, your crew, your route — anywhere in the world.
The sea allows no compromise. Together with trusted charter partners we select the yacht, the crew and the route — from quiet Mediterranean coves to the Caribbean.
Which yacht is right for you
Sailing yachts & catamarans
Quiet, stable and close to the water. Catamarans offer generous space for families.
Motor yachts
Speed and range to see more in a week — a new bay or island every day.
Superyachts
Larger crews, beach clubs, spa and water toys — a private resort at sea.
Day charters
A day on the water during a hotel or villa stay — lunch in a bay, back by sunset.
Where and when
Yachts follow the sun. Many move from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean for winter — the best time depends on where you want to be.

What a charter fee includes
Yacht charters are priced in a way that surprises many first-time guests. We explain every line before you sign.
Charter fee
The weekly rate for the yacht and her crew, including insurance of the yacht.
APA
Advance Provisioning Allowance — usually around 30% of the charter fee, paid in advance to cover fuel, food, drinks and marina fees. Fully accounted for at the end; any balance is returned.
VAT
Depends on the country where the charter starts and the waters it cruises. We confirm the applicable rate in every proposal.
Crew gratuity
At your discretion, customarily given to the captain at the end of the charter.
How a charter works
Your brief
Dates, region, number of guests, budget and how you like to spend your days.
A shortlist
Three to five yachts that fit, with layouts, crew profiles and honest notes.

An industry-standard charter agreement, typically MYBA terms, with a deposit on signing.

Questions about yacht charter
How far ahead should we book?
For July and August in the Mediterranean, the best yachts are often reserved six months or more in advance. Shoulder season and last-minute availability do exist — ask us.
How many guests can a yacht take?
Most charter yachts accommodate up to 12 guests overnight, whatever their size. Larger groups can travel on two yachts together or join for the day.
Can we choose the itinerary?
Yes. You share your wishes, the captain proposes a route, and it adapts day by day to the weather and to your mood.
Are children welcome on board?
Very much so. Many yachts have family-friendly crews, safety equipment for children and plenty of water toys.
Who is responsible for the yacht?
The yacht is operated by her owner's management and professional crew. Xalibur Travel acts as your charter broker: we select the yacht, negotiate the terms and stay by your side from enquiry to disembarkation.
