Embarking on a large group yacht charter offers an unparalleled blend of luxury, flexibility, and personalised service, making it the ideal choice for gatherings of up to 40 guests.

Unlike traditional cruise ships with fixed itineraries, a crewed yacht charter allows you to tailor your journey to your group's preferences, providing the freedom to explore various destinations at your own pace.

Whether you're planning a corporate retreat, a family reunion, or a celebratory event, a large group yacht charter provides a customisable and intimate setting that transforms any occasion into an unforgettable voyage!

Most charter yachts are limited to 12 guests due to international maritime laws, with vessels carrying more than 12 passengers classified as "passenger ships" and must meet stricter safety and design regulations, making compliance costly and complex. To avoid these requirements, most yachts are registered for a maximum of 12 guests, even if they are large enough to accommodate more.

However, some larger yachts are built, designed and certified to carry more than 12 guests. These vessels comply with the necessary regulations and obtain the appropriate certification, allowing them to legally accommodate larger groups.
