What information should I put on my yacht charter preference sheet?

Answer

Useful information can include guest names and ages, dietary requirements, allergies, favourite foods and drinks, cabin preferences, special occasions, activity interests, transfer requirements and any other practical needs.

It is also helpful to identify anything that could affect the charter experience, such as mobility considerations or guests who may need particular assistance.

The yacht or broker will normally indicate which information is required.

Analysis

The preference sheet should be treated as a practical planning document rather than a formality. Accurate information helps the crew prepare the yacht, provisions and activities around the actual group.

Broker’s advice

Don’t worry about making the preference sheet perfect. The important thing is to tell us what matters to your group. If something is unusual or particularly important, flag it rather than assuming the crew will know.
