Why Prime Charters over any other Company? |
 |
Prime Charters charter brokers are renowned in the industry for maintaining constant vigilance over the world's charter yachts. The charter team will assist you from reservation to disembarkation, whatever your needs may be. |
|
How is an Prime Charters different from a Cruise Ship or Seaside Resort? |
|
Professional crews serve you from the moment you arrive onboard. Your captain will suggest an itinerary, but you're not locked into any program and are free to waiver from this route. If you find the perfect spot opt to linger longer!
Luxury yachts are home to many of the world's best-trained culinary artists. Your chef will provide a sample menu of the yacht's cuisine and is delighted to adjust their fare to your palate. The crew is at your disposal and ready to serve you from the moment you board.
Professional crew members are experienced at entertaining yacht owners and guests, including celebrities or prominent statesmen. If desired our charter brokers can include a non-disclosure clause in your charter contract.
Worried about staying in touch with your business? Don't be. Modern charter yachts are equipped with the very latest communications equipment including cellular service, global satellite telecommunications, personal computers and fax machines.
The flexibility and privacy of a luxury yacht is the ultimate indulgence. Chartering a yacht allows you the luxury of only unpacking your bags once while touring different areas. |
|
Can I have a Large Party or Group onboard? |
|
International maritime law prohibits yachts from carrying more than 12 passengers without special registration. Please advise your charter broker in advance if you are planning to entertain a larger number and they will do their best to locate vessels that permit large groups. |
|
What if I am on a Special Diet? |
|
By the necessity of adapting to new locations and ingredient availability, yacht chefs are skilled at a wide variety of cuisine and can please even the most discriminating eater. It is important to take the time to have each member of your party complete the preference form your charter broker will provide to you in advance. It is critical to advise your Charter Broker of any allergies or serious aversions in advance. |
|
Can we Smoke onboard? |
|
Smoking is rarely permitted inside the yachts; however, the vast majority of yachts will allow you to smoke on the outside deck areas. If there are smokers in your party please advise your charter broker we will do our best to ensure that you and the crew are well informed in advance. |
|
Can I bring my Pet onboard? |
|
Yachts do not permit guests to bring pets on board for several reasons. Crews are required to maintain rigid cleanliness standards for all their guests and there is a potential of allergens from animals remaining on board. Animals are typically not accustomed to the strict confinement of a ship and an active cruising itinerary can be quite uncomfortable for pets.
Just like humans, animals can also be sensitive to the effects of motion and may become disoriented or lethargic. Traveling abroad with pets and checking through customs in foreign ports-of-call may subject animals to quarantine periods. |
|
Do I need to carry my Passport? What are the Visa requirements? |
|
Yes, all guests must carry valid passports for customs and immigration in the various ports of call. Visas, if applicable, are the responsibility of the charterer and must be secured in advance of the charter. If you have questions in either regard your charter broker will direct you to the proper authorities. |
|
How Do I book a Charter? |
|
Once the scheduling is negotiated with the yacht, the charter broker will draw up the appropriate contracts for you to sign. Typically, upon signature, a 50% deposit is required: the balance of the fee is typically due one month prior to embarkation. If your agreement includes an expense advance to the yacht, this is usually sent to the broker at the same time as the charter balance. |
|
Do I need to buy Insurance during the Charter? |
|
Your charter agreement will detail insurance provisions. The owner's policy continues in affect during the charter period. |
|
How much do I Tip? |
|
As a general rule, the customary practice is to give 5-15% of the charter fee to the captain to distribute among the crew. Crew work extremely hard to make a success of a charter and tipping is an appropriate way to show appreciation. |
