Are you now dreaming of your next vacation? Among the many different kinds of holidays that you’ve already taken or wish to take, one of the best that you may not have thought about is booking a private charter or a private boat. Especially if you’regoing to a beach destination, you can have your own piece of private paradise when you’ve got a private boat to enjoy.
Even if you’ve never sailed before, booking a private yacht charter can still be a very good idea, as tour companies now have the availability of so many more options—from having a captain to sail for you, to having a member of your tour group with a boating license to maneuver the boat around. Apart from the destination itself, being on a private boat for days is already a relaxing and worthwhile holiday in itself.
To convince you more of its viability, here are four reasons to book a private boat for your next vacation:
1. It Offers You Flexible Itineraries
Especially if you’re the type of traveler or family who enjoys the beach and water activities, you’ll find that the flexible itineraries that you get to enjoy with staying on a private boat are a big advantage. Unlike going on a boat cruise, where you’ve got to abide by the itinerary set for all the passengers, with your own private boat, you can plan the days as they go.
In fact, if you fancy having just a lazy day to go from one island to another or one private beach cove to another, and just enjoy snorkeling and being in the beach with no itinerary at all, that’sall the more possible.
Having the opportunity to plan out and enjoy your own itineraries also makes for a more relaxing and enjoyable vacation as you don’t have to worry about being on the rush allthe time as you’re following through an itinerary of a big group.Even if you had to squeeze through economy to get there, those hours of tiring flying hours are all made up for the days of relaxation that you can have on your private boat.
2. It’s A Magical Experience
There’s just something simply magical about being on a private boat or yacht, with a beautiful picturesque setting of the Caribbean, for instance, that’s hard to put into words. When you’re in a crowd of people, it’s hard to enjoy St. Thomas or any other island that you’re off to. On the other hand, when you’realone, by yourself, or with your own family, there’s peace and quiet. You can enjoy and savor the place all you want, without the noise of other tourists in the same boat as you.
Top this off with a good meal, a butler at your disposal and a glass of wine, and your private yacht charter will truly be anyone’s dream vacation!

3. It’s Exclusive
This exclusivity can be applicable if you’re traveling with older family members and young children. It can be very stressful to have to share a cruise or a boat with other travelers when you’vegot kids and seniors to care for. For instance, mobility might be limited, and kids can be all over the place. More so as of late,when you want to avoid crowds as much as possible, it’s better splurging a little for exclusivity for the sake of your sanity, as well as for you to relax and have some peace and quiet.
With the exclusivity of a private boat, you won’t have to worry about keeping your kids near you all the time in fears that they might get lost, or that, perhaps, they may be too rowdy for other travelers. The boat is all to yourself and your family, so you cansimply be yourself and have fun.
4. It Gives You A Chance To Learn New Skills
If you’re sailing with a private captain, you may even get a chance to learn new skills. The captain can give you a few lessons here and there, such as on sailing a boat, steering the boat, or mooring the vessel. In fact, especially if you’ve got kids, this is also a great opportunity for them to learn something on holiday.
Conclusion
In closing, hopefully, the reasons enumerated above are convincing enough to finally make you book a trip on a private boat charter. In the name of safety and privacy, all that extra expense to have the boat all to yourself and loved ones will all end up to be worth it, anyway. Whether you’re a small or a big group, and even if there are kids around, hopping on to a journey on a private boat is always a good and tempting idea. Now, all that’s left for you to do is to start planning your boat holiday journey!
