Final selection tips
- Allow 30% margin on max capacity (12-guest yacht = optimal at 8-10 for comfort)
- Check the yacht's age (< 8 years ideal, full refit acceptable up to 15 years)
- Ask for recent interior photos (broker photos are often 3-5 years old)
- Speak directly with the captain at least once before the stay (contact quality = stay quality)
- Check available water sports kit (paddle, jet-ski, kayaks)
- Check whether there is an onboard chef vs external caterer (impact on meal quality)
- Confirm languages spoken by the hostess (FR/EN essential, +ES/IT/AR/ZH depending on clientele)
