The choice of yacht for your cruise is very important to the success of your holiday. Please ask us to help you select the yacht best suited to your needs. We will also advise on the right crew to complement the style of charter you may prefer. It is the combination of the right yacht and the right crew that will guarantee a charter to remember.
You may find it helpful to have a few guidelines on the different types of yachts available:
MOTOR YACHTS
Motor yachts combine speed, comfort and luxury. Outdoor areas are usually large while their indoor areas comfortably cater to guests' requirements. Motor yachts might be either of heavy displacement, that generally gives a cruising speed of between 10 and 14 knots, or fast planning motor yachts capable of continuous speeds in excess of 20 knots.
MOTOR SAILERS
Traditional schooners combining wind, sail and the power of a motor blending tradition with comfort and the relaxed experience of sailing. Motor sailers have a more spacious interior than the performance sailing yacht, and a larger, robust machinery for cruising under power alone. Other advantages can be the additional deck space for sunbathing and dining areas plus increased storage for water sports equipment.
SAILING YACHTS
They rely on wind and sails aided by an auxiliary engine. Large sailing yachts combine exhilarating performance under sail with the ability to motor at speeds of up to 10 knots and luxurious facilities. A wonderful advantage is the total peace and quiet when the engine is turned off and you sail off into the sunset. |
