The sailor loves the freedom and tranquility on the water and is looking for adventure and the active game with the wind and the waves. Luxury on board is not important to the sailor, it rather is, to be able to withdraw from the world without missing anything. To be in harmony with the nature, enjoying the vastness of the sea, the distant views and at the same time discovering new places and new cultures, in an environmentally conscious way and without much noise.
For every sailor there is the ideal sailboat among the different types of sailboats, the two most popular boat types for a charter are monohull (single hull) and catamaran (two hull). Particularly popular for a vacation at the sea are Catamarans. They offer a lot of comfort and space, indoors as well as a deck, and are generally more stable in the water as monohull sailboats. Due to the spacious common area and the bright lounge inside, the large storage space and the extended deck space, catamarans are particularly suitable for groups of friends and families with children.
Find a large selection of sailing boats and catamarans in our Dolphin Boots yacht charter portal, as bareboat charter or with a private skipper and / or crew.
The ones who prefers a motor yacht love the luxury and comfort on board of a yacht, paired with the frenzy of speed and power of the engines. Motor yachts are floating luxury apartments that offer every comfort you can imagine, coupled with the flexibility to get within a few hours from one port to another, without being dependent on wind and weather.
In our Dolphin Boots yacht charter portal you will find a large selection of luxury yachts from a length of 5 up to 30 meters, as bareboat charter or as well with a private skipper and / or crew.
There are two ways to find out all about the availability and prices for the from you requested booking period. One option is, to check the current availability for all yachts in your desired travel area directly via our Dolphin Boots Yacht Charter portal, here you immediately receive the current offers and prices. Many of our yachts can be booked directly online, very simple and uncomplicated.
As a second option, we will be happy to create together with you your own, individual yacht charter, based on your wishes and preferences, wether on a motor yacht, a sailboat or a catamaran, in the area of your choice. No matter if you are interested in a day charter, a charter for several days or a week charter. We will help you to find the perfect yacht for your ultimate luxury vacation.
Depending on the provider and yacht, there are some differences and things to consider. Like on some yachts for example towels and bed linen, final cleaning and insurance, as well as the mooring fee in the home port is often already included in the charter price. Depending on the yacht and yacht size, the personal skipper or even a crew of several people who take care of your well-being are also included in the charter price.
Fuel:
For motor yachts, but also for some sailing boats and catamarans, you have to expect additional fuel costs, most providers either charge flat rates per nautical mile or based on consumption. Feel free to contact us for more information about fuel costs for yacht charter.
Entrance fees & Docking fees:
Entrance fees to national parks such as in Mallorca for the Archipiélago de Cabrera National Park and mooring fees in other ports are not included in the price and have to be paid extra.
Food and drinks:
Food and drinks for you and your guests and perhaps for your personal skipper and / or crew are not included in the charter price. Depending on the provider and yacht, you’ve got the option of doing the shopping for the charter period by yourself, or you treat yourself with a personalised shopping service; this way the charter company will purchase food and drinks according to your wishes.
At our Dolphin Boots yacht charter portal we advise you in a very clear and transparent way about all costs for your yacht charter and we inform you in the most competent way, so that you can enjoy your yacht vacation without any unpleasant surprises.
You don't need a boat license to spend your vacation on a yacht. At Dolphin Boats you can book motor yachts, sailing boats and catamarans in different sailing destinations with your own, personal skipper. These professionally trained captains with a lot of experience and the necessary licenses and insurances will safely steer your charter yacht for you and show you the beauties of your sailing area; and your private skipper for sure will pass you one or the other insider tip.
If you already have some boating experience or maybe even have a boating license, it might be recommendable to start during the first few days with a training by an experienced skipper, to get to know your booked yacht and as well to get to know the specifics of your sailing area in better way.
Some charter areas offer the possibility to charter yachts for one or more days. This is particularly useful if you like to celebrate a special event in a very special way, or if you just have a few days or a long weekend available for your yacht charter. Particularly popular for day charters is the Island Mallorca. Over here you will find a large number of yachts, as well for day charter.
A day charter usually lasts 8 hours. Day charters are available as a bareboat charter, as well as charter with a personal skipper, and the start and end ports are the same. Especially during high season, online booking for day charter very often is not possible, so please contact us for the current availability and your personalised day charter offer on a motor yacht, a sailboat or a catamaran.
The most important utensil come first, don't forget your sunscreen. During your yacht vacation you are exposed to the sun twice. On one side from above and on the other side by the reflection of the sun in the water. Regardless of whether on deck, during water sports or on excursions, always ensure good sun protection for yourself and your loved ones.
We also recommend the following must-haves during your yacht charter:
- Sun hat & sunglasses
- Swimwear, if necessary, bathing shoes
- Light summer clothing
- A scarf or sweater as protection against the wind
- Light shoes, sandals or flip flops
Please keep in mind that wearing shoes is not allowed on board a yacht.
Depending on the kind of yacht , equipment, approval and size, the maximum number of guests on a charter yacht is 12 people. Children are considered a full person and are of course very welcome on board, please inform us in advance about the number of children traveling, the age and the weight. We will be happy to ensure that the required number of life jackets of the correct sizes will be on board.
