How Much Does a Private Yacht Charter Cost?

That is like asking “how much does a bottle of wine cost?” or “how much does a car cost?” A private yacht charter can cost anywhere from $4,000.00 per person per week to $100,000 or more per person per week. Bottom line – it can be as affordable or as grand luxe as you choose. And as long as you let us choose the right yacht and crew for your expectations, it doesn’t matter how much you spend – the results are the same. No matter what our clients spend, we are used to hearing, “It was my best vacation ever!”

Several factors influence the price of a yacht charter, and understanding them helps you find the best fit for your style and budget.

• Age of the yacht and recent refits – Newer yachts or those recently updated typically command higher rates
• Size and layout – Larger yachts with more guest space and multiple decks offer greater comfort and privacy
• Level of luxury and build quality – Design, materials, and original build cost all play a role
• Crew expertise – Highly experienced crews and exceptional chefs elevate the entire onboard experience
• Water toys and onboard amenities – From paddleboards to SeaBobs and eFoils, the inventory can vary significantly

And sometimes, there’s a less tangible factor at play—owner motivation. Some owners prioritize charter income and price accordingly, while others are more selective, which can influence availability and rates.
