Charter a Yacht for Your Ultimate Vacation

Nothing quite compares to the thrill of a yacht charter vacation. Personalized to your tastes, and designed to match your preferences, the opportunity to travel to the ends of the world in the lap of luxury is like no other.

We can steer you to your version of paradise in some of the most spectacular locations. A range of possibilities awaits you, including cosmopolitan and glamorous European cities to secluded spots in the Caribbean, and everything in between. Whether celebrating with friends, family, or colleagues,  you are sure to have an unbelievable and unforgettable adventure.

Captain 

Our captains do far more than just move the yacht from point A to point B, they set the tone for your entire charter experience. Prior to your charter, the captain will create a sample itinerary for your yacht vacation and recommend alternative options. They have relationships with land-based contacts for special excursions and access to the best marinas and exotic spots. The most important job of a captain though is being responsible for the safety of everyone onboard including guests and crew.

Deck Crew

One of the most exciting aspects of a yacht charter is the many water sports activities at your fingertips. The deck crew is responsible for your safety while you are having “fun in the sun.” They are also in charge of the maintenance and care of all tenders and toys, and the upkeep of the exterior of the yacht. Tenders, wave runners,  wakeboards, paddle boards, kayaks, snorkeling gear, diving equipment, fishing rods, bicycles, and scooters, are just a few examples of the “toys” you may find on board a charter yacht.

Interior Team:

Crews are crucial for running safe and successful yacht excursions. Our interior team handles everything from food and beverage service, laundry, room cleaning and turndowns, general interior maintenance, table décor, wine selection, and pampering. There may only be one person who handles all interior tasks. Regardless of the size, the interior staff is there to ensure you are carefree, able to relax, and want for nothing.

Chef

Prior to your yacht vacation, you will fill out a food and beverage preference sheet. Some people prefer to only list allergies and dislikes allowing the chef unrestricted culinary freedom. The chef will provision before you arrive and during the charter to ensure that the yacht is constantly stocked with the freshest and finest ingredients. Certain destinations might have limited provisioning and the chef will do what it takes to make your dining experience enjoyable. The crew will do everything possible to procure your preferences. If you have very specific and special requests let your captain and/or chef know in advance so that everyone can work together to make it happen for you.

Our charter week in the Caribbean could not have been better. Your Captain and crew’s attentiveness to our every need, without being intrusive, was incredible. That is a rare skill. They anticipated our every need and suggested options that added significantly to the enjoyment of the trip for everyone, young and old. You and your company were wonderfully accommodating. You provided not only the first-class service we needed but acted as a consultant, helping us pay attention to details that otherwise might have been overlooked. Finding the appropriate yacht and venue to present to my international clients made this a monumental event!

Thank you so much for putting together such a perfect engagement weekend. It was one of the biggest days of our lives and I am so glad that I could celebrate it with the most important people in our life. We were so lucky to have our special ones surround us to celebrate our happiness with us. Everything from the flowers to the food, champagne, and the photographer could not have been more wonderful. The whole afternoon could not have been better with the weather, dolphins, and even a rainbow. Again, thank you for everything! I cannot thank you enough! You guys are truly special. I will never forget what you did for us.

David Kay Yachts Charter offered all we could imagine and more, from absolute relaxation to a breathtaking adventure and treasured family moments. It was the ultimate escape! Our itinerary turned moments into memories. They not only were able to get us scheduled on the most popular yacht requested, but we also received unparallel access to everything yachting has to offer. The entire team was exceptionally impressive and first-class. We will charter again with David Kay Yachts in the future for our next unforgettable moments.
