Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a charter broker? Why can’t I book direct?
Planning the perfect charter requires specialist knowledge, trusted contacts on board and on the ground, as well as first-hand knowledge of yachts, crews and locations, as well as legal contracts and local regulations to build an experience that suits you perfectly. Another reason to choose a broker is that sometimes there can be unforeseen issues with yachts or destinations and having an experienced broker to protect your interests and build a plan B is hugely reassuring.

Where should we charter?
With Sunreef Yachts, you can explore some of the world’s most iconic charter destinations, including the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Indian Ocean, and beyond. We specialize in offering access to pristine, secluded spots as well as bustling, popular areas. Whether you’re drawn to the stunning coastlines of the French Riviera, the exotic allure of the Maldives, or hidden gems in the South Pacific, we can customize your charter to suit your desires.
When is the best time to go on a yacht charter?
The ideal time for a yacht charter depends on the region you wish to visit. The Mediterranean is perfect during the summer months, from May to October, with the best cruising conditions. The Caribbean is a year-round destination, with peak season from December to April. For more remote locations, like the South Pacific, it’s best to charter during the dry season. Our team will provide tailored recommendations based on your destination and time of travel.
Are yacht charters all-inclusive?
While your crew, yacht, and basic services are included in the charter fee, additional expenses such as food, beverages, excursions, and special services (e.g., spa treatments, water toys) are typically covered by the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). The APA is managed by your Captain and covers all consumables and operational costs throughout your journey. We ensure there are no hidden fees, and any unused funds are returned to you at the end of your charter.
Is crew service included?
All the yachts offered by Sunreef Yachts Charter come with a highly trained, professional crew dedicated to delivering exceptional luxury service. From crafting gourmet meals to ensuring expert navigation, our experienced crew takes care of every detail, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the joy of your yachting experience.
