Yacht charter.

Day charter.

Short-format charter for an afternoon, a sundown route or a guest-led day on the water.

Overview

Light format, full service.

Day charter is the lightest format — most-requested in Dubai, the French Riviera and the Cyclades. A morning departure, a chosen anchorage for lunch and swimming, and a return before sundown, with full crew and catering aboard.

We coordinate the vessel, the route, the catering and the boarding; a private advisor remains on hand throughout the day. Half-day and sundown formats are also arranged where the harbour and the season allow.

Frequently asked

Practical questions.

What does a day charter include?
A day charter typically runs 8–10 hours from a coastal embarkation, with the yacht, the crew, and the day’s routing arranged in advance. Lunch aboard or at a beach club is not included but can be added; the routing is flexible to the day’s weather and the guests’ preferences.
How much does a day charter cost?
Day charter rates depend on the yacht size and the embarkation port. Yachts in the 25–40 metre range typically run EUR 15,000–35,000 for a Mediterranean day, with fuel and provisioning additional.
What yachts are available for day charter?
Most charter yachts in our fleet are available for day charters during the season, subject to the weekly schedule. Smaller and performance-focused yachts (Pershing, Mangusta, Wally) are particularly well-suited to day-charter use.
