Notes:
* Prices mentioned here are to give you a rough idea and can be changed depending on the season and the services you require.
* Prices usually do not include the skipper fee, meaning that if you are a certified sailor you can charther and drive on your own. But if you need a professional, you can hire a skipper for around €1200 to €2000 for a week.
* Host not included. Charter companies usually do not include a host for cleaning and cooking on the base price. Hosts can be hired for an extra €100 to €200 a day for the yacht. And we highly recommend that you hire one or two hosts, because yachts require a lot of work and you wouldn’t want to return back home tired.
