DEFINITIONS OF SAILING YACHTS & CHARTER TERMS

Sailing Yacht: Combining exhilarating performance under sail, an ability to motor at speeds of up to 10 knots/hour, luxurious interiors and luxurious facilities mean that large sailing yachts are no longer associated with hardy sailors and bunk beds! Over recent years the construction techniques and overall quality of sailing yachts has increased enormously and you will find some superb examples of this in our brochure. A wonderful advantage is the total peace and quiet when the engine is turned off and, as seems the ultimate dream for many, you sail off into the sunset.

Motor-Sailer: Perhaps with a more spacious interior than the out and out sailing yacht and with larger, more robust machinery for cruising under power alone. Other advantages can be the additional deck space for sunbathing and dining areas plus increased storage for water sports equipment. As with the performance yacht, the motor-sailers presented on our list are of exceptional quality in terms of their interior furnishings and facilities.

Western Mediterranean Terms (WMT): The charter fee includes the use of the yacht and equipment, the crew's wages and insurance. The charterer will be charged at cost for all other expenses including fuel, food and beverages for the charter party, berthing charges and port taxes, charges for water and electricity taken from shore, laundry, telephone and SatCom costs. A number of large yachts use WMT while operating in the Adriatic, Aegean and Caribbean.

Eastern Mediterranean Terms (EMT): The charter fee includes the use of the yacht and equipment, crew's wages and food, insurance, breakfast and lunch and fuel for a specified number of hours cruising per day, averaged throughout the charter. Usually, berthing dues and harbor charges also are included. The charterer will be charged for fuel for the tenders, dinner on board, beverages, laundry and telephone.

Operating expenses: These vary depending on the area you cruise and the yacht you choose. If fuel economy is important, discuss this with your broker at the beginning of your selection process. There also may be some harbor fees and positioning (delivery) charges if your charter involves meeting or leaving the yacht in a place other than it's home port.

Harbour Fees: Often called dues in Europe, these vary from port to port. Normally this is a small item in the charter budget.

Gratuities:Tipping yacht crews is both customary and discretionary. The standard practice is to award 5 - 15% of the charter fee, based on you level of satisfaction, at the close of the charter. It is customary for the charter party to leave the entire gratuity with the captain with suggestion as to how the gratuity should be distributed among the crew.

Deposits: Once you select a yacht, dates and location, your broker will provide you with a charter contract. When you approve the contract, you will be asked to provide a deposit - usually 50% of the charter fee. If it is a WMT - type charter, your expenses will be estimated for the purposes of the deposit. Usually the balance is due 30 in advance of the charter.
