The Human Difference

A real broker — every time.

No chatbots. No ticket queues. No scripts. When you call or write, a real broker answers — one who has stood on the decks of the yachts we propose and dined in the harbours on your itinerary. Technology works quietly behind the scenes; service stays stubbornly human. Every client is treated like royalty: your preferences remembered, your celebrations planned, your time protected.

Our Philosophy
Client Words
“The itinerary was flawless — every anchorage, every reservation, every sunset. We never lifted a finger.”
— Private Client · New York · Greek Islands, July 2026
“From the first call to the final invoice, everything was transparent. The crew charter on PARILLION exceeded every expectation we had.”
— Private Client · Miami · Amalfi Coast, August 2026
“Our broker found us a yacht that wasn't publicly listed anywhere and negotiated a better rate than we were quoted elsewhere.”

Good to Know

Charter questions, answered.

How much does it cost to charter a crewed yacht in Europe?

Weekly rates typically range from €40,000 for a 30-metre motor yacht to over €500,000 for a superyacht above 60 metres, plus an APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) of around 30% for fuel, food and berthing. We quote in USD on request.

What is APA and why do I pay it?

The APA — Advance Provisioning Allowance — is a fund (normally ~30% of the charter fee) that covers fuel, food, drinks, port fees and extras. Your captain accounts for every expense; any unspent balance is returned to you.

Do I need sailing experience to charter a crewed yacht?

No. Every charter we arrange is fully crewed — captain, chef and stewards. Guests simply relax; the professional crew sails, cooks and hosts.

When is the best time to charter in the Mediterranean?

May to September. June and early July offer warm weather with fewer crowds; August is peak season; September brings calm seas and warm water, ideal for swimming.

Which destinations do you cover for yacht charters?

European Yachting Vacations arranges crewed yacht charters across the Mediterranean: the French Riviera, Greek Islands, Croatia, Amalfi Coast, Sardinia, Corsica, the Balearics, the Turkish Riviera, Montenegro, Malta, Sicily and Cyprus — each with its own season, character and fleet.

Why book through a boutique yacht charter broker instead of a website?

A boutique yacht broker inspects yachts in person, negotiates on your behalf and matches you to the right crew — things no booking engine can do. Our advice is independent: we are paid the same by every yacht, so recommendations follow your interests, not commission.
