No matter how luxurious a cruise ship can be, there are unavoidable inconveniences one cannot avoid even in the best of cruise lines. If you enjoy nautical escapes and your desire is to no longer partake in the buffet lines and unattractive, tourist-filled ports, then perhaps its time to consider chartering a yacht.

Wake up every morning and dive off deck, go scuba diving at your leisure and island hop on the dinghy. The best part is, unlike the experience on a luxurious cruise ship, there is no itinerary. Your desires are your itinerary.

The most important factor to consider when contemplating the rental of a yacht is to choose a reputable brokerage firm. It's advisable to select a firm based on their membership to an association. Most reputable brokerage firms belong to boating associations, such as the California Yacht Association, the Florida Yacht Brokers Association, and the Mediterranean Yacht Association.

Yacht charters are completely customized and the advice of a savvy yacht broker usually comes from first-hand knowledge.

Some of the most expensive yacht charters can cost approximately $900,000 a week, however to sail in style, one can find rentals for considerably less. With a private chef, of course.
