What’s Already Included

Every yacht charter includes:

  • A licensed captain and crew
  • Fuel
  • Soft drinks and water
  • A sound system for your own music
  • Safety equipment and life jackets

So for a simple cruise you don’t need to add anything.

Party & Birthday Packages: Decoration + Cake
