Can guests request changes to the yacht itinerary?

Answer

Yes. Guests can normally discuss their preferences with the captain and crew, subject to safety, weather, cruising limits, local regulations, time and other operational considerations.

The most useful approach is to identify the experiences that matter most rather than attempting to prescribe every movement of the yacht.

Analysis

A yacht charter is highly personal, so guest preferences are an important part of itinerary planning. At the same time, the captain needs sufficient flexibility to respond to real-world conditions.

Broker’s advice

We recommend giving the captain your priorities rather than a rigid schedule. If you tell us the three or four things you most want to experience, we can help build an itinerary that leaves room for the captain’s judgement.
