1. Defining Your Cruise Style
First and foremost, determine the experience you wish to have onboard.
Do you desire a festive cruise on the French Riviera, a romantic getaway in the coves of Ibiza, or a cultural exploration in Sardinia?
- For a glamorous and VIP atmosphere, opt for a Yacht Charter in Monaco.
- For a relaxing and elegant cruise, prefer a Yacht Charter in Saint-Tropez.
- For nature and crystal-clear water enthusiasts, discover a Yacht Charter in Sardinia.
Each destination offers a different atmosphere, tailored to your pace and desires.
2. Choosing the Right Yacht Category
The term “yacht” encompasses several types of vessels. Here are the main categories to guide your choice:
Motor Yacht
Fast, elegant, and comfortable, ideal for cruising from one port to another on the French Riviera.
Example: models such as Sunseeker, Riva, or Mangusta.
Luxury Sailing Yacht
Perfect for a peaceful cruise at the pace of the wind, in harmony with the sea.
Prestige Catamaran
Spacious and stable, perfect for families or groups of friends seeking comfort and space.
Superyacht & Megayacht
The epitome of luxury: pools, jacuzzis, cinema, gym, and full crew.
These models are often reserved via our dedicated page: Yachts for Charter
3. Determining the Ideal Guest Capacity
The number of guests directly influences the type of yacht to choose.
- For 2 to 6 guests, a 20 to 25-meter yacht is perfectly sufficient.
- For 8 to 12 guests, prefer a 30 to 40-meter model.
- For more than 12 guests, opt for a superyacht that can exceed 50 meters, such as the EMIR (83m) or the CHAKRA (86m).
Each yacht is designed to offer a perfect balance between privacy and conviviality.
4. The Importance of the Crew
A professional crew is the key to a successful cruise.
At International Yachts Charter and Brokerage XXIII, every yacht comes with a full crew:
- Experienced Captain for navigation.
