Yacht rental as a type of active recreation at sea.
Which of us at least once did not dream of escaping from the metropolis and going on a journey by sea? No, I'm not talking about a cruise, because that's not it at all. The same crowds of people, closed space… I mean a journey full of romance and freedom, where no one is in a hurry, where you catch the wind and the sail carries you across the calm sea. So many are already starting to make such dreams come true, and as it turned out, it’s very real. Previously, it was believed that renting a yacht is an expensive pleasure, and we did not even consider this type of vacation due to its price. With the advent of a large number of companies offering yachts for rent, advertising has also entered the Russian market. As it turned out, comparing the prices for a week of rest in a hotel in famous European resorts and the cost of renting a yacht for the same period (1 week), to the surprise of many, the prices do not differ much, and in many cases, a vacation on a yacht turns out to be cheaper than in a hotel.
It must be said that most charter yachts can accommodate 10 to 12 people. The price is divided accordingly by the number of passengers. Thus, the price for a week in a hotel per person in a famous Spanish resort ranges from 500 to 700 euros, the price of a yacht in the same hot period in Mallorca (the most famous island of the Balearic Islands among yachtsmen) reaches 200 - 400 euros per person per week. Isn't it a reason to try a new type of tourism, which is so popular among Europeans! The same Germans and Italians are in first place among those renting yachts. Some prefer small sailing yachts, others catamarans, which by the way are very convenient for family trips, and some are limited to spending one day on a motor yacht. There are options for every taste. Managers of yacht companies will advise and help in choosing a yacht. And let the lack of rights to drive a yacht not stop you, since most yachts are rented with a captain, for an additional cost of course, but you will spend your trip without risks and worries. By the way, according to statistics, tourists who have tried at least once a trip on a yacht return to renting a yacht in subsequent years in 60% of cases.
Those who are interested in the topic of yacht charter may wish to visit one of the yacht exhibitions that are held annually in the largest port and tourist cities: Barcelona, Dusseldorf, Genoa, Palma de Mallorca, Valencia. Even in Moscow, a city that is not particularly associated with yachting, the Boat Show is held, which brings together thousands of people who want to look at the latest in shipbuilding and yacht charter. All this shows that interest in yacht charter is growing every day. Perhaps next season you will find yourself under a snow-white sail somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea.
Fair wind to you!
