At some point most people have dreamt about escaping everything and sailing the open oceans. To turn that dream into reality use this yachting travel guide to help you plan and book a yacht charter anywhere in the world.
A yacht charter is hiring a sailboat for your own use. Usually you will arrange to collect it at a marina and will have the duration of your charter to explore where you wish. You can find deserted beaches, explore empty coves and follow stunning coastlines.
You can pop into harbours to stock up on supplies, or visit their bars and restaurants if you want to find some nightlife. Alternatively escape it all to relax and find your own private beach.
Yachting travel is also a great time to do some other water sports. Kiteboard, surf, SUP, kayak, snorkel, dive, swim, windsurf or fish – there is plenty to do. But most people who book a yacht charter spend their time sailing, escaping the real world to explore the high seas.
However, a relaxing journey being blown where wind and currents take you is a rather idealistic view of yachting travel. The reality is you need a lot of expertise and sailing a yacht is quite a lot of work. If you are inexperienced you should definitely book a yacht charter that includes a captain and other crew members.
