On board and ashore
A charter is not a list of features. It is a sequence of afternoons — these are the ones guests ask for again.
Culinary
Included on all crewed charters
Your chef shops at six, decides at seven, and tells you what lunch is at noon.
Every yacht in the fleet above 62 feet carries a chef. On charter they buy locally each morning — the Marché Provençal, the Bodrum fish market, whatever the caiques landed on Naxos — and build the day around it.
Culinary
Evening, ashore
Two or three evenings ashore, arranged before you arrive.
Lo Scoglio at Nerano, La Guérite on Sainte-Marguerite, Il Riccio on Capri. Our charter desk books these when your itinerary is confirmed, not when you land.
Culinary
Three to four hours
The crew go ahead by tender and set a table where there was not one.
Linen, shade, ice, and a grill if the beach allows it. Works best on Spargi, Curieuse, a Maldivian sandbank, or any Cycladic cove with no road to it.
Culinary
Half day
Grk on Korčula, Assyrtiko on Santorini, Vermentino in Gallura.
A half day ashore with a grower rather than a sommelier — usually a drive of twenty minutes from the quay, and a case sent back to the boat.
Adventure
Two dives a day
Compressor, nitrox, two dive tenders and an instructor who plans around the tide.
ALTAIR and NORTHWIND carry full dive operations. On other yachts we bring a local centre aboard for the days you want. Certification dives can be completed on charter.
Adventure
Any morning
Masks, fins and somebody in the water with you who knows what you are looking at.
Every yacht carries snorkelling equipment for the full guest complement. Where the marine life justifies a guide — Sainte Anne, Lankan, the Gökova reefs — one comes aboard for the day.
Adventure
On demand
Carried aboard, launched from the beach club, refuelled by the crew.
Available on CELESTE, SOLARE, LUMEN, NORTHWIND, ALTAIR and CORVINA. Licences are checked before departure; the bosun briefs everyone on local restrictions.
Adventure
Two or three passages
Helm, trim and navigation, taught by the person who does it for a living.
On MISTRAL and SERAPHINE the skipper will hand over the wheel and teach — points of sail, sail trim, reefing, coastal navigation. Popular with teenagers and with people who have chartered for years without touching a winch.
Adventure
Early morning
Trolling gear aboard, a local skipper for the offshore days.
Amberjack and dentex in the Adriatic, tuna off Sardinia, dogtooth and wahoo in the Maldives. Whatever is landed goes to the galley; the rest goes back.
Adventure
One to two hours
The last hour of light, close in along a coast the yacht cannot reach.
Sea kayaks are carried on every yacht in the fleet. In the Bay of Kotor and the Mljet lakes they are the best way to see the place at all.
Wellness
60 or 90 minutes
Table set up on the shaded aft deck, at anchor, with the door closed to everyone else.
Arranged in every base port we work from. Deep tissue, sports and lymphatic, plus prenatal by request. Two therapists on the larger yachts so couples do not have to take turns.
Wellness
60 minutes, most mornings
Flat water, mats out, and the whole bay to yourselves for an hour.
An instructor joins the yacht for the mornings you want. Vinyasa, hatha and restorative; on catamarans the foredeck nets take a class of eight comfortably.
Wellness
20–30 minutes
Twenty minutes, before anybody else is up, with the engines off.
Led by the same instructors who run the yoga programme. It is a small thing and it changes the shape of the day.
Wellness
Seven nights
Short passages, early nights, a nutritionist-led menu and a therapist aboard throughout.
We plan the route so the yacht moves in the morning and sits still from noon. Alcohol optional, screens discouraged, and the tender available at any hour.
Romance
One evening
The aft deck cleared, one table, and the yacht turned to face west.
The crew will move the yacht at anchor so the table faces the sunset, which sounds like a small thing and is the detail guests mention most often afterwards.
Romance
One evening, planned in advance
Tell one person. Nobody else on board will know until it happens.
We have arranged these on a sandbank, in a sea cave, and once at 06:00 on a foredeck off Es Vedrà. Photographer optional and discreet. Champagne is not optional.
Romance
One evening
Lanterns, a grill, and the tender waiting at the water line.
Possible on a Maldivian sandbank, on Espalmador, and on several of the Elaphiti islets. Permissions vary and are arranged for you.
Romance
Seven nights
We keep itineraries on file. A surprising number of guests want the same week again.
Same anchorages, same restaurants, usually the same yacht — and the crew brief themselves on what you liked last time before you arrive.
Family
Every day at anchor
Seabob, paddleboards, wakeboard, towable, e-foil on the larger yachts.
The bosun runs it as a programme rather than a cupboard: a rotation through the morning so eight people are not waiting on one board.
Family
One afternoon
Written by the crew, run by tender, and taken extremely seriously by everyone under twelve.
Clues hidden ashore and aboard, a chart to plot, and a prize the chef has been keeping in the freezer. Ages six to fourteen, roughly.
Family
Seven nights
Short passages, an anchorage before lunch, and shore leave every day.
The itinerary most families end up with: nothing over three hours under way, and a beach or a town within tender range each afternoon.
Family
Afternoons
Tender in at one, back aboard by six, without queuing for either.
Club 55 and La Guérite on the Riviera, Juan y Andrea on Formentera, Nikki Beach in Porto Cervo. Booked with the itinerary, not on the day.
