Choosing
Your Charter Yacht.
Deciding
on whether to take your Mediterranean or Caribbean
yacht charter on a sailing boat, luxury catamaran
or motor yacht is the next decision. Although
largely a personal preference, your budget may
be an influencing factor.
All of the crewed yachts we present
to you will be maintained to the highest standards.
Each yacht will provide areas shaded from the
sun and a choice of dining inside or al fresco.
Although most of the time you’ll be on deck,
the majority of yachts feature excellent entertainment
and communication systems.
Whether
you choose a sleek, stylish and incredibly fast
yacht like Dreamcatcher,
a Swan 82' which won line honours in ARC 2008;
a spacious, luxury catamaran such as Best
Revenge 5, a Privelege 58' or a mega yacht,
Topline Yacht Charters will find the right yacht
to charter for you.

Very
popular in areas particularly suited to sailing,
ie the Caribbean, especially sailing vacations
in the BVI and The
Grenadines.
They are generally less expensive for a given
length than their multi-hulled peers. Ideal for
those who have had some previous sailing experience
and who aren't concerned about the motion of a
yacht.

Catamaran
Sailing Vacations-

Ideal
if you want to enjoy the thrill of sailing and
are looking for a more ‘stable’ ride.
Catamarans can get close to the shore and don’t
roll at anchor. They also offer passengers ease
of access to the water - ideal for children or
less agile guests.
Luxury
charter catamarans have enormous relative space
and a large cockpit area which makes for comfortable
seating while underway. If you are hoping to take
part in some kitesurfing in the BVI
or St Lucia, chartering
a catamaran is ideal because of the space on-deck
for storing equipment. Catamarans have equal staterooms,
which are usually ensuite.

Luxury
Power Boats-

Tend
to provide more luxurious accommodation and obviously
enables a speedy arrival to your chosen destination,
if that’s an important consideration.
In
the Caribbean, motor yachts under 80ft tend to
charter in more protected areas (for example,
the British Virgin
Islands). If you're thinking about chartering
a motor yacht in Antigua,
St Martin or St
Lucia, you will find the choice enormous.
Motor yachts larger than 100ft are largely unaffected
by the greater distances to be travelled between
islands. Chartering a megayacht is possible almost
anywhere in the world.
