About crewed yacht charter sailing holidays:
Crewed yacht charters are organised on yachts above 45ft in most cases. Captain and chef or hostess are usually on board with hostess also acting as a deckhand to assist the skipper when sailing. The clients do not need any experience or qualifications although for some demanding itineraries such as transatlantic crossing or long-term charters, this is desirable and may be required. Crewed yacht charters are in general informal sailing experiences yet on some boats may be provided as a 5-star luxury experience and a formal yachting vacation which is also available on luxury crewed yachts.
Sailing qualifications or experience are not necessary although for some yachts and itineraries it may be a requirement to hire a deckhand or for guests to have some sailing experience or Competent Crew certification. Yachts available on a crewed yacht charter basis range from 42-75ft and can include luxury motor yachts such as Princess 62, skippered boats such as UPWIND 50 Eco sailing catamaran or even a smaller sailing boat such as Dufour 410 for singles or couples.
