Yacht Charters: 5 Surprising Fun Facts
Yacht charters are a luxurious way to spend a vacation, offering the opportunity to explore new destinations and indulge in the finer things in life. These floating mansions can range from modest sailboats to sprawling superyachts, each with its unique features and amenities. But did you know that there are some interesting and lesser-known facts about yacht charters? Here are a few:
The First Recorded Yacht Charter
Took Place in the 14th Century
Yes, the practice of renting out a yacht for vacation purposes has a long history. The first recorded instance of a yacht charter was in 1390 when King Charles VI of France chartered a vessel to take him on a hunting trip. In the centuries since, yacht charters have become a popular vacation option for the wealthy and elite.
Yacht Charters Can Be More Eco-Friendly
Than Other Types of Vacations
While yachts may have a reputation for being gas-guzzlers, many modern charter yachts are quite eco-friendly. Many newer yachts are equipped with solar panels and other green technologies, which can help reduce their carbon footprint. In addition, yacht charters allow travelers to visit remote destinations that may not be accessible by land, which can help reduce the impact of tourism in these fragile environments.
Some Yacht Charters Come With Their Own Submarine
If you’ve ever dreamed of exploring the depths of the ocean, a yacht charter may be the perfect way to do it. Several superyachts are equipped with their own private submarines, allowing guests to take a dip beneath the waves and explore the underwater world. Imagine diving to the bottom of the ocean to see exotic marine life and shipwrecks up close – it’s an experience you can’t get on any other vacation.
Yacht Charters Can Be Surprisingly Affordable
While yacht charters may seem like an extravagance reserved for the super-rich, the reality is that they can be surprisingly affordable. Many yacht rental companies offer a range of vessels at different price points, so it’s possible to find a charter that fits your budget. Additionally, splitting the cost of a yacht charter among a group of friends or family members can help make the vacation more affordable for everyone.
Conclusion
Overall, yacht charters are an incredibly bespoke experience, as each yacht offers different amenities that can make your dream vacation possible. We hope these fun facts help show how unique a private yacht vacation can be, and that the possibilities are endless!
