There are many factors to consider for families, such as the number of guests onboard, the types of activities you’re wanting to do, and the required spaces for dining, entertainment and relaxation. In all instances, useable space is crucial. Yachts with large sundecks and beach clubs, along with access to spas and pools is often at the top of the list. This will allow you to enjoy each other’s company and spend quality time together. For multi-generational family holidays, having sufficient cabin accommodation is another important consideration. And if you’re looking to make the most out of your water surroundings, the availability of toys and tenders should also be factored in.

A trend we have seen in recent years is the demand for luxury yachts that are capable of cruising for long distances. Key to these yachts’ suitability, are several factors. On a performance level, these motor yachts require tank reserves which can sustain long distances without the need to refuel, along with engines and hull designs which are suitable for the regions they are travelling in.

There are many factors that make certain types of yachts ideal for charter, with a lot of them being the same reasons why you chose to purchase the yacht in the first instance.

Sailing yachts all depend on the way you intend to sail. Some yachts are born to be raced, with lightweight designs, stripped back of the more luxury elements and toys, and instead, focused on the art of sailing. Others are designed to cruise between islands and around the coastline, allowing you to anchor at bays along the way, entertain guests and take the toys and tenders out on the water. Other important factors to consider are how much space you require throughout the vessel as the salon, galley, cabins and decks all vary significantly depending on the construction of the sailing yacht.
