How to Rent a Yacht
Last Updated on June 27, 2024 by Boatsetter Team
Picture this: The gentle rocking of the boat wakes you up from a restful nap. You decide next to go sunbathing on the deck, it’s just you and crystal-clear water on a yacht rental.
Yachting is truly a one of a kind experience; thanks to peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplaces, like Boatsetter, you don’t have to own a yacht to experience relaxation and luxury. Whether you’re looking to rent for a day or for chartering options, we’ll help you navigate the ins and outs of yacht rentals, from choosing the right vessel to understanding the booking process.

How do yacht rentals work?
Using Boatsetter’s unique P2P boat rental marketplace, individuals or groups interested in yachting can browse yachts for rent and send a request to book directly to boat owners. If you have questions about the yacht, you’re able to send questions to owners before booking.
After your boat trip, when you’re thinking to yourself, “Booking was easy,” “The boat owner was super cool,” and “The views were amazing, I need to do this again” know that you can save the boat listing as a ‘Favorite’ to book again later.
Yacht rental versus yacht charter
While both options are available to you through Boatsetter, to better serve yourselve, it’s essential to know the difference between yacht rental and yacht chartering.
Renting a yacht typically refers to a shorter-term excursion guided by a captain. You book the yacht online, meet the owner at the dock, the off you go! This option is ideal for individuals or groups looking to make a day trip or weekend trip. On the other hand, yacht chartering refers to a long-term excursion (of at least one week).
You can do a Multi-day booking yourself online, but if you’re looking for real luxury, you might as well use Boatsetter’s White Glove Concierge team. Not only will they help you with trivial things, but also they’ll hook it up by getting you the right crew and help you create the best maritime itinerary.
