WHAT TO KNOW
BEFORE YOUR FIRST YACHT CHARTER
Everything you need to feel confident, excited, and ready to sail.
Chartering a yacht is a dream for many — but if it’s your first time, it can also feel like stepping into the unknown. At Stars Yachting, we believe your experience should begin with clarity, comfort, and confidence. Here’s a quick guide to what you should know before you book your first luxury charter.
Where Would You Like to Go?
From the rugged coastlines of Corsica to the glamor of the Côte d’Azur, the Mediterranean is filled with breathtaking possibilities. The good news? You don’t have to know it all — just share your preferences, and our team will curate a custom itinerary.
Who’s Coming With You?
Charter yachts typically host 6 to 12 guests, depending on the size. Whether it’s a couple’s escape, a family retreat, or a group of friends, we’ll help match the boat and crew to your group’s vibe and expectations.
Customization is Everything
From your morning coffee to themed dinner nights, you’re in control. Before departure, we send you a preference sheet — noting dietary needs, drink preferences, daily routines, and more. The yacht becomes an extension of your lifestyle.
Understanding the Budget
Your charter rate includes the yacht, crew, and basic insurance. Additional costs (fuel, food, berths, special requests) are managed via the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance), usually around 30% of the charter fee.
We’ll walk you through every number — no surprises, just smooth sailing.
