Luxury yachting made simple

DiYachting – we ask the experts

-

With 15 years experience in the charter industry, diYachting certainly possess the wisdom to offer luxury crewed charter yachts. With an impressive fleet of 10 yachts fully charter managed and at hand for charter throughout the Mediterran­ean and Caribbean, a vast selection is readily available, and with access to hundreds of other crewed yachts all over the world, they are bound to be able to find exactly what you are looking for. Attending Charter Shows in the Med and Caribbean annually, Lizzie Abbiss, the Charter Sales Director, views as many yachts as she can; meeting the crews and sampling the menus meaning her recommenda­tions are based upon a wealth of first-hand experience.

The most popular areas in the Mediterran­ean are the Ionian Islands in Greece, Sardinia & Corsica, the Balearic Islands; Majorca, Ibiza & Menorca, Sicily and the Aeolian Islands. This year has also seen a growing enthusiasm for Turkey, with client interest steadily increasing once again.

An initial inclinatio­n to shy away from having a crew is frequently overridden by immense appreciati­on of their hospitalit­y and rich knowledge of the yacht and location, perfecting the onboard experience for every member of the family or group without limiting your ability to take the helm while sailing. A full time crew significan­tly improves the quality of the vessel and amenities; with water makers, air-conditioni­ng, water-sports equipment all included in the yacht price. Food and drinks are an extra, charged in a per person package or by way of an Advance Provisioni­ng Allowance, allowing the crew to provision the yacht for your

requiremen­ts before you even step off the plane.

Every charter is different; the start and finish ports may be the same but what happens between that time is always flexible and full of as much variety as is desired. If you seek towns and nightlife or crave secluded peaceful bays, the available options allow for a tailor-made luxury experience - the only thing they can’t control is the weather! What’s more, your experience­d captain will ensure yours’ and the vessel’s safety is their top priority.
