Visit Europe!

Try to make a series of recommendations at the time of rental boats for perfect holiday, with appropriate programming and smooth.

Many fans are alquiláis boats and sailboats instead of buying a boat. The luxury yacht charter imposes steadily in Europe and that’s good to have a few clear ideas.

With the cost of owning property or sailing ships: insurance, mooring, beaching, taxes and maintenance, you can rent a boat length similar or higher for a couple of weeks per year without the worry of having a boat or sailing itself. Plus, you have a boat or sailboat equipped modern, safe, updated and in different bases and ports around the world.

To rent sailboats, catamarans and motor boats or we follow a few simple steps.

ELECTION OF THE COMPANY

In the market will find numerous mega yacht charter companies which hire your holidays, but mostly you can attend charter agencies and companies owning vessels (owners).

“Pros” and “cons” of each company
Super yacht charter agencies have a wider choice of destinations and can coordinate different offers charter for the same port to facilitate the comparative contrast do not know in detail the characteristics of the boats and sometimes the conditions offered do not match those offered by the shipping company and if any problems arise during the charter, contract conditions, etc. The first customer is harmed.
If you choose to contract with the shipping company, will have first-hand information, sometimes to negotiate directly can get better prices and the relationship is much more direct but should you. do your own cost comparison, boats, sailboats, catamarans, yachts and charter companies

Anyway most importantly, choose a charter company and solvent known to take years in the rental market and sailing boats and have a fleet of boats and yachts and safe current or working with companies owning ships with impeccable reputation .

A reputable company will guarantee a perfect maintenance of boats and yachts that manages a competent crew and patterns and what is most important that the boat or vessel has “papers” in order and is authorized to rent. These precautions can prevent many problems later. Always check that you have the role, boat insurance, occupant safety, airworthiness certificate, Road Permit Charter Seat and

Do they hire a pattern?

Renting boats and sailboats are rented with skipper or without crew. Depending on the length of the boat, sailboat, yacht or catamaran, you will find different options on the market

In the latter case it is necessary that some of the crew has the proper qualifications and experience also required. Do not hesitate to hire a pattern if you are not 100% sure since an accident at sea is one of the most compromised situations and undesirable on your vacation. The cost is usually around 150 € / day plus handling charter aboard the boat or sailboat.

The motor yachts over 10/12 meters are almost always rented with crew and the rental cost is considerably higher, to which must be added the fuel bill.

SPECIAL CARE PRACTICES AND MOST IMPORTANT

For some it will be obvious but I refuse to remember the following:

NO BATHROOM STALLS for this, do not throw paper, cotton, intimate hygiene items, etc.. because eventually clogging the toilet and the charter company will be penalized with a significant “fine” for damages and delays to the charter following the WC is an important element on board, followed to the letter the instructions on its use and pattern hesitate to call if we can not “empty” as a general rule, never force the mechanism or will throw anything that has not previously passed through the stomach
Monitor water consumption, a boat is scarce and very precious. Be frugal in consumption of fresh water consumed in moderation is better than having to go into port to refuel, a simple shower thinking that you’re at home complete with tanks and at sea … a lot of water. .. salt, your employer will teach you how to save water.
Whenever we use mineral water for drinking and cooking, leaving the tanks for washing and scrubbing.
Do not waste electricity and it can be a problem in the middle of a cove frustrating your vacation, do not spend all the batteries as they tend to break losing its ability to recover our boats are equipped extra batteries, allowing us a wide autonomy, however, do not leave lights on and recharge our phones (cigarette lighter) at noon
Funding generously, the anchor is not sufficient to “hold” your boat, the chain is critical and if you have 50 meters of chain on your boat or yacht, why anchor in the cove with 15 meters of chain?
Take care of your boat or yacht as his own, remember that checked out, the charter company will deduct all of their damage deposit
Do not let the ship anchor, catamaran, yacht or sailboat while a manager on board, nobody likes to stay on board while the rest enjoy a boat landing but when you lose your tenedero almost always ends up on the rocks with very significant losses and if we consider that most are not responsible for insurance claims without a crew on board, can be found to be responsible for some damage to the ship or sailing very important

A prerequisite in the boats, sailboats and catamarans is the order, both inside (personal effects in common areas, scrubbed to do …) and cover (creams, towels, cameras …).
In navigation is advisable to put everything in place to prevent falls and breaks.

In the kitchen you have to pay special attention:

Never cook in a swimsuit.
We use high pots to heat liquids.
Notify the “chef” if a wave is coming, although we are in a quiet cove (a jet ski pass near the boat, a wave can produce enough to pour out what we’re cooking).
Never leave anything in the fire unattended.

If berthed alongside another boat, jumped out through your nose, barefoot and annoying as possible.
If a maneuver is to be separated from neighboring boat pushing it, never will on the candlesticks, look stronger sites (rigging, gives …).
In case of being invited to another ship, the right to get
