What is a cabin charter?

Cabin charter means renting a cabin or a yacht. You have to share the common rooms and sometimes the cabins with other passengers. Individual travelers may rent a private cabin as well, but these are more expensive. Most cabins are relatively small, but during such a trip you will definitely spend most of your time on board in the company of other passengers, or at a given destination.
The yachts in question are significantly smaller than the so-called cruisers or ocean liners. The average size of such a yacht is app. 500 feet. You may find even larger yachts that accept fewer passengers; this way, the trip might be more convenient. Multi-hulled catamarans are very popular due to their stability. The hulls provide them with a greater balance even in bad weather conditions and in larger waves.

Most popular cabin charter holiday destinations

You can find charter boats in almost every part of the world. The most popular destinations include Greece, Italy, Croatia, and the Caribbean region. The duration of a cabin rental is typically a week. Docking time may depend on the route, but you can spend 4-5 hours at a port on average. And when travelling on the sea, you can sunbathe, read and enjoy the view, or treat yourself to a cocktail. Boats often stay at a port or lie at anchor on the sea overnight, offering you the opportunity to explore the remote spots as well.
