Relax on a Yacht Charter Vacation
Unlike other ocean yachts, a crewed charter yacht vacation allows you to be more independent and make more choices about your trip. For example, you’ll set your own pace by choosing your itinerary and the activities you prefer, instead of going along with the crowd; you can even decide to go “off chart” and head in a new direction.
You can be alone, or you can mingle with the crew. It’s all up to you ? it’s your own private yachting trip, whether you choose crewed yacht charters on a sailboat, motorboat, or a yacht.
Get a Job on a Yacht
A few yacht crew jobs include the following:
Chef/Cook
Diesel Mechanic
Flotilla Skipper
Host/Hostess
Sailing Instructor
There are several yacht crew-finder services for vessel owners and employers around the world. Remember, this is a global industry, and though you’ll have full decision-making authority on things like what kind of vessel you’d like to sail on and when you’re available to crew, things like salaries or whether you will work a working holiday yacht cruise or as a voluntary crew member are largely non-negotiable, particularly for entry-level jobs.
High-School Reunion? Host It on a Yacht.
If you or someone you know is in charge of coordinating your reunion for the “Class of - -,” you’ll definitely get better results from the get-go if you decide to plan the reunion aboard a luxury yacht, offering your former classmates a real chance to unwind while they reminisce about the “old days” with you and your friends.
Make sure, also, that the yacht is fully licensed to provide a complete beverage service, including host bar capabilities. Other attractions to look for are a good-sized pool (of course.) table linens (in your choice of colors), a good ballroom or dance floor, floral and other decorating arrangements, billiard rooms, adjustable lighting, and even a fireplace. The idea is to make everyone feel both “at home” and “on vacation” at the same time ? something that can only be accomplished in few places, such as an ocean yacht.
