International Yachts Charter and Brokerage XXIII offers a rigorous selection of yachts and superyachts available for charter with a full crew, catering to a demanding international clientele. Each unit in our fleet is selected according to strict criteria: general condition, refit level, crew certifications, quality of onboard services, and compliance with MYBA standards.
Whether you are looking for a 20-meter LOA motor yacht for a family cruise on the French Riviera, a 40-meter superyacht for a corporate event during the Cannes Film Festival, or a unit available in the Eastern Mediterranean for the summer season — our team identifies the right vessel for your project and manages the entire charter process, from booking to the end of the voyage.
The LOA (Length Overall) is the primary selection criterion for a yacht charter. It directly determines the guest capacity in cabins, the available interior volumes, and the level of onboard amenities.
| LOA | Guests in cabins | Recommended use |
|---|---|---|
| 20 – 25 m | 4 to 8 people | Couples, families, intimate groups |
| 25 – 35 m | 6 to 10 people | Groups, onboard events |
| 35 – 45 m | 10 to 12 people | Receptions, corporate, luxury weeks |
| 45 m + | 12 or more people | Mega yachts, VIP events |
The draft determines access to certain navigation areas and anchorages. Units with a deep draft (over 3 meters) cannot anchor in all coves — a parameter to consider when selecting based on your desired itinerary. Our team systematically verifies draft/destination compatibility for every charter.
The yachts in our selection are equipped according to their category:

All our charters are established according to the MYBA (Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association) contractual framework — the international reference standard for yacht rentals in the Mediterranean. This contract precisely defines the obligations of each party, cancellation conditions, payment terms, and responsibilities on board.
Standard terms:
The APA is a provision paid at the start of the charter to cover all variable operating costs:
It generally represents 25 to 35% of the base rate and is settled at the end of the charter upon presentation of receipts. Any unspent balance is fully refunded. Our team provides a detailed APA estimate in every quote.
All crews proposed by IYCB XXIII hold mandatory maritime certifications: STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping) and MCA (Maritime and Coastguard Agency) captain’s license for units subject to the LY3 code. These certifications guarantee an impeccable level of competence, safety, and professionalism.
As our clientele is international, the selected crews are fluent in at least French and English. Crews speaking Spanish, Italian, or Arabic are available upon request — essential for events hosting guests of multiple nationalities.
The chef is one of the most decisive elements of the charter experience. Menus are developed in advance with the client, taking into account dietary preferences, allergies, and the desired level of culinary excellence. A full gastronomic briefing is conducted before each departure.
Our fleet is available in the main destinations of the Mediterranean and beyond:

Chartering allows you to enjoy a prestigious yacht without the constraints of ownership: no permanent crew to manage, no fixed maintenance costs, and total flexibility regarding destinations and dates. It is the preferred option for 2 to 6 weeks of annual cruising.
For clients cruising more than 8 weeks per year or wishing to turn their yacht into an income-generating asset via commercial chartering, acquisition becomes financially relevant. Our brokerage team assists clients in this decision with an objective comparative analysis.
No. Chartering a yacht with a full crew — captain and deckhands — does not require any nautical qualifications from the charterer. The crew takes full responsibility for navigation, maneuvering, and safety on board.
Most units require a minimum duration of one week (7 nights) during the high season (June to September). Shorter charters — 3 to 5 days — are possible in the low season on certain units. Day rentals are available upon request for specific events.
The APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is a provision of 25 to 35% of the base rate covering fuel, port fees, provisions, and taxes. It is paid at the start of the charter and settled based on receipts at the end of the voyage. Any unspent balance is fully refunded.
Yes. All units in our selection have comprehensive maritime insurance covering third-party liability, damage to the yacht, and passengers. Coverage details are available in the MYBA contract provided before each charter.
Yes. The itinerary is defined in advance with the captain during the pre-departure briefing but remains flexible depending on weather conditions, passenger wishes, and port availability. The captain is the final authority on any navigation decisions regarding safety.
