Top 3 Factors That Make Up the Cost of a Yacht Tour
Planning a yacht trip and wondering what drives the price? Whether you’re booking a motor yacht, a sailing yacht, or a gulet, the total cost usually comes down to three main components.
1. Fuel
This is often the biggest expense — not only for motor yachts and gulets, but also for sailing yachts, which are equipped with engines to navigate in calm weather. Add to that the fuel needed for generators that power essential onboard comforts like air conditioning, electrical outlets, coffee machines, and more.
2. Food and provisions
This is especially relevant for day tours. On our yachts, meals are prepared from fresh, high-quality ingredients sourced just before departure — seafood, meats, vegetables, and fish are delivered right to the yacht on the day of the tour.
On gulets and chartered sailing yachts, food is not included in the base price and is paid separately. Still, it’s an essential part of the experience and should be factored into your budget.
3. Crew
Behind every comfortable journey is a professional team. Most charters include at least three crew members — a captain, a hostess, and a chef. Gulets often have even larger crews. Sailing yachts can be operated without crew if you’re experienced, which makes it a more budget-friendly option for seasoned sailors.
Understanding these key components helps you better plan your ideal yacht experience — with no surprises.
