Top Places for Yacht Chartering 2020

More than ever during these uncertain times, people are utilizing creative means to escape. Whether it be camping, a road trip, or chartering a yacht, many are leaving the big cities in search of more isolated, and presumably safe shores. Yacht chartering, in particular, proves an interesting endeavor to pursue, whether it be on one’s own or through an agency, like Yachtico.

While yachting is arguably a more expensive than RV traveling, prices in the long-run can be remarkably cost-effective. For example, take San Francisco based yacht company GetMyBoat, where sporting boats are available for rent from $5,000 to $8,000 dollars a week.

In many ways, you get the best of both worlds with yachting — a chance to explore otherwise unattainable shores, while negating the cost of hotels, guides, transport, and more.

Charter locations in North America alone offer many travel opportunities. Yachtworld recommends destinations such as the Bahamas, the Las Perlas Islands in Panama, Rhode Island, the San Juan Islands off Washington state, and locations based in Southeast Alaska.

Meanwhile, overseas recommendations include the Seychelles Islands, Sicily, the Canary Islands in Spain, the Croatian coastline, the French Riviera, and the Greek Islands – with particular highlights being Crete, Santorini, and Mykonos.

No matter where your home base is located, international branches of various esteemed rental companies can easily save an independent purchase.
