By Katrina Wheeler


Enjoying a family holiday cruising in open seas is a luxury treasured by discerning holidaymakers the world over. The best crewed motor yacht charter offers are highly recommended as they leave you to enjoy your time together with loved ones as the crews takes care of the headaches of navigating. The following tips have been put together to help your crewed yachting experience as memorable as possible.

Before setting off, ensure that the crews are explicitly aware of any preferences, desires or special requests you may have. Indeed, it is customary for the crew to issue forms on which you can indicate your preferences and requests especially when it comes to food or need for privacy. In addition too, make sure that the crews are aware well in advance if you have an existing medical condition which may require some arrangements and if you suffer any allergies.

Discerning holidaymakers are adept enough to know the importance of talking up with the crew and knowing the captain well, preferably as the trip begins. As they take plenty of pride in their work and are also knowledgeable about the trip and the entire itinerary, captains will give you adequate tips on what you can expect and how to enjoy yourself even more.

While the crews on the yacht will often go out of the way to meet your needs, it is important not to take this type of service for granted. The crews are not servants and you should treat them with respect and the courtesy they deserve, even when you are not pleased about any aspect of their service. Remember to always say 'thank you' and offer complements when they are deserved.

At time, unforeseen foul weather or some other such condition may make certain destinations on the planned trip inaccessible. During such a turn of events, the captain and crew will make the announcement in time including details of why the change of plans was inevitable. Even if failing to sample the delights of a certain highlight of the tour may be disappointing, flexibility on your part will guarantee that you will enjoy the alternatives just as much.

It is likely that you will find that the crew will restrict wearing of shoes on certain areas of the yacht. This barefoot rule is enforced because the teak decks are not only expensive and fragile but also require plenty of effort to keep clean and shiny. The crew will always provide easy carrying baskets where you can place your shoes before walking to those restricted areas.

It pays to have an itinerary with just a few basic things to do while on the trip. As such, you can sit back, relax and take in the luxury, sights and surprises as they come without pressure. Indeed, the idea of taking off on such a sailing trip is to enjoy to the fullest, not to always have an eye on a detailed 'To Do" list.

A motor yacht charter holiday idea is guaranteed to provide thrills and spills. However, you need to keep these proven tips close at hand if you are to enjoy yourself to the fullest.
