Private yacht CHARTER EXPERIENCES.
No two charters are the same. Time, place and purpose define each one, whether for family, celebration, exploration or retreat. Each private yacht charter experience is shaped around how you want to use the yacht, with every detail planned and managed with precision so it unfolds as it should.
CELEBRATORY CHARTERS
Private gatherings, milestone events, time with friends and family. The right yacht and crew ensure it runs as it should.
FAMILY CHARTERS
A yacht allows generations to travel together without compromise. Space to gather. Space to retreat. The flexibility to adjust pace and plans as you go.

Access to less obvious cruising grounds, selected for privacy and position rather than popularity.
WELLNESS CHARTERS
Some yachts are designed around wellbeing. We identify those equipped to support your objectives, from onboard specialists to destination choice.

A yacht charter offers a controlled, private setting for business discussion or client engagement, positioned as visibly or discreetly as required.

Frequently asked QUESTIONS.
How much does a yacht charter cost?
The cost of your yacht charter depends on the yacht you are chartering. There is the charter fee, which covers the cost of the yacht, plus VAT calculated as a percentage of the charter fee and dependent on the country of embarkation, plus the APA – Advanced Provisioning Allowance. This is an account of your money managed by the captain to pay for fuel, marina/berth fees, food and drink provisions etc. throughout the charter. It is traditionally calculated at 30-35% of the charter fee. A breakdown of all APA costs incurred together with a proof of purchase will be presented to you on the last day of your charter and any remainder can be held on account or reimbursed. There is also a crew gratuity, which is customary but given at the client’s discretion. As an industry standard, this is generally between 10-20% of the charter fee.
Are all yacht charters all-inclusive?
Your crew is always ready to deliver on your wishes, however, anything you require on board, in terms of provisions, food, drink, restaurant reservations, spa treatments, is taken from the APA.
Is a yacht charter crewed or do we need to arrange a crew
All the yachts offered by Edmiston are fully crewed. All the crew members are highly trained, offering luxury service to an exceptional level. Your crew are there for your every need, from when you start planning your holiday until the moment you step off the yacht at the end of your charter. Edmiston can also arrange for specialists to be added to your crew, if there is a particular instructor, guide or guru you want, let us know.
Can I rent a yacht for a week?
A week is the standard length of a yacht charter; however, clients regularly choose 10, 14 or more days. We have even had charters for 90 days. Occasionally, it is possible to charter a yacht for fewer days, something that is usually only possible during low season.
Where is the most popular place to charter a yacht?
The popularity of global charters across the Caribbean, Pacific, Indian Ocean, and Scandinavia is growing but the Mediterranean remains, by far, the most popular destination, particularly in its summer months. The French Riviera, Amalfi Coast and Balearic Islands are charter favourites with the Greek islands ever-more popular.
