Top 5 fears of yacht chartering: dispelling myths
Just 10 years ago yachting seemed like something out of the blue – only for the rich in the movies. In 2015, the demand for yacht charters started to grow vigorously, but still people are haunted by fears.
- Myth 1. Renting a yacht is expensive!
Yachts come in different types and price categories. For example, a sailing yacht is considered the most budget-friendly option. For example, renting a week from 2500 € for a group of 6 pax will cost about 420 €/pax. How about the price for 8 pax?
Hourly hire of a motor yacht in Turkey starts from 180€. As you can see, renting a yacht is not just for millionaires!
- Myth 2. Recreation on a yacht is dangerous!
If you rent a yacht, it always comes with a technical inspection, life jackets, insurance etc. The Brilions are the official licensed yacht brokers in Turkey which guarantee safety. But renting a boat directly from the owner is a matter of chance…
- Myth 3. It’s always seasick on a boat!
The secret of modern yachts is a stabiliser, which makes it stable, even in a slightly stormy sea, you will feel fine. The yacht always stops at bays which are sheltered from winds and rough seas.
- Myth 4. Recreational boating is uncomfortable!
While people of all social classes, ages and interests rent a yacht, everyone needs the basic amenities. Much depends on the type and size of the yacht. However, yachts of all types are equipped with sanitary cabins – a full toilet with a shower to clean yourself up. Also, you can always get some privacy and relax.
- Myth 5. Recreation on a yacht is boring!
On board most cruising yachts there are water sports such as jet skis, water skis, seabobs, etc. Or water activities are available at stops during your tour. Snorkelling and scuba diving are also available.
Even if you’re not a big fan of all this swimming surrounded by beautiful nature, tasty food and great company of friends + the soulful cheerful crew will keep you entertained!
