Peace of Mind on a Luxury Yacht Charter
by Geoffrey Ravoire, Marketing Manager & Luxury Travel Advisor
At a time when everyone researches safety, privacy, and convenience, luxury yacht charters are more appealing than ever. It's a world where you can fully relax, unwind, and enjoy special moments with friends and family, anywhere in the world.
This summer and fall, yacht charters prove to be an ideal solution to the need for social distancing. Here are some of the reasons chartering a yacht should be in your plans right now.
Privacy. The moment you step onboard a luxury yacht charter, you experience all the amenities of the best hotels, uniquely for you. If that wasn’t enough, a yacht gives you the freedom to go off-the-grid and find a secluded bay, beach, or island, to enjoy in maximum privacy. From the Exumas to Maine and French Polynesia, we know the best spots!
Activities. Once on your yacht, the professional crew looking after you becomes your private concierge team and is here to make sure everyone has a fantastic time, in absolute security. Everything during a yacht charter is tailored to you: the menus, created by the Chef each day to satisfy your preference sheets; the excursions, coordinated with the crew and our specialist guides and naturalists; and of course, the onboard activities ranging from Seabobs to massage room, movie theater to submarine, and anything you can dream of. After your first luxury yacht charter, you realize how no charter is the same, the possibilities are endless. Isn’t that a fun perspective?
Social distance. For maximum safety from Covid-19, we are happy to create itineraries where you don’t even have to leave your yacht. In our experience, with so many activities to enjoy onboard and on the water, there is no risk of boredom! Plus, remember that itineraries are tailored to you, meaning we can create a special route to include landings on secluded coves for daily hikes and breathtaking scenery for your nightly dinners with a view. Thanks to strict protocols, yachts are also easy to isolate in their own bubble and are kept virus-free when nobody goes ashore, except to bring provisions on board – and even for this, the safety measures are very stringent.
Options. With vessels ranging anywhere from $15,000 to $1M+ a week, there are options for everyone, every occasion, and every year going forward! When considering your yacht charter, we recommend having an idea of your budget to help us make more targeted recommendations. Knowing your preferences, we will also search for yachts depending on the décor, toys, and amenities they offer. Next, your Huffman Travel advisor will be happy to talk about every option available in your destination – from bareboat catamarans in the BVI to gulets in Turkey, expedition vessels in Alaska to sailing yachts in French Polynesia, motoryachts in Thailand to superyachts in Monaco for the Grand Prix.
