Choosing the ideal yacht for 8 guests

A yacht charter for eight guests needs four cabins, one for each couple or pair of friends, and enough shared space that no one feels crowded. Most yachts for eight are laid out with double cabins and a twin or convertible one, so couples and friends are equally comfortable. Below deck stays private, while the lounge, flybridge and sundeck are where the group comes together.

Examples include the Elizabeth, a 22.31 m Princess Y72 with a full-beam master suite reached by a private spiral staircase, a salon that opens onto the aft deck and a flybridge with a dining area, bar and barbecue; Balance Šibenik, an Azimut 82 Fly of around 25 m designed by Alberto Mancini, with carbon-fibre construction, a top speed of up to 32 knots and a Deck2Deck cockpit that opens onto the sea as a terrace; and Akira, a 27.43 m Sanlorenzo SD 90 that sleeps eight in four ensuite cabins, with an expansive owner’s cabin in the bow of the main deck and a sleek flybridge with a lounge, dining area and light T-top.

Benefits of a small-group yacht charter

On a yacht charter for eight guests, privacy and togetherness find a natural balance. The group is small enough to decide on the day where to swim and dine, and large enough to fill a table. There is no timetable on board but your own: breakfast when you wake, lunch wherever the anchor drops, dinner when the light turns gold. The captain knows the local waters, the chef cooks to your tastes and the crew adapts to your pace. Many yachts for eight also carry a jacuzzi, water toys and a sundeck, so there is always something to do, or nothing at all.

Croatian destinations for an 8-person yacht charter

Spend your yacht charter on one stretch of the Adriatic coast, with time to linger. From Split, the islands open up one after another: Brač with its white pebble beaches, Hvar with its lavender and lively harbour, Vis with its slower pace, and Korčula with its stone old town. From Dubrovnik, the Elaphiti Islands, Mljet and Korčula are only a short cruise away. From Šibenik you reach the Kornati archipelago, where the anchorages are still, the landscape is almost bare and the night sky is full of stars. Routes follow the weather and your mood, whether you want culture, nature or simply calm water and a table by the sea.

FAQ

Just call us :) You should first define the boundaries of your needs and budget. The most important is to determine the number of guests you need to accommodate because it dictates the size and number of cabins. You need to pay attention to the configuration of the cabins, double or twin, and also take care of the sizes of double beds. In general, yachts offer personalized service of high level, but the quality of service is related to number of crew. Based on prefilled preference list, we will make sure that your wishes are carefully executed. Finally, choose the period which suits you the best to make your yachting dreams come true.
 

In case you have special wishes regarding the cruise itinerary, be sure to consult your charter broker. Namely, the cruising route primarily depends on the weather conditions, the speed of your yacht and the available berths in the marinas. Please note that the yacht's flag may restrict entry to some countries and that some countries require a visa when entering.

The best time is stretched from spring to autumn. In Croatia, the pre-season starts with Easter and lasts until the beginning of July. The weather is changeable with sea temperatures up to 23. The days are long and there are no big crowds at the anchorages and marinas. July and August are considered the peak of the season. The sea is warm with air temperatures higher than 30. It's pretty busy at sea, in bays and marinas. Guests who like crushes and night parties consider this an ideal period for a cruising vacation. September and October are ideal months for all lovers of romantic moments. The weather is still pleasant and warm, although the days are shorter. Prices in this period are lower and on islands there are no big jams - just like in the spring pre-season.

The yacht rental price always refers to a period of 7 days. The basic price of renting a luxury yacht includes the hire of the yacht, yacht's insurance and crew service. An additional cost is VAT of 13%, and the supplies, fuel, marina fees and all extra services, and are always covered by the APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) which is usually 30% of the charter fee. Delivery/return fees may also apply if the charter week does not start/end from the home port. The crew will take care that your every wish is realized, also based on the pre-filled Preference List. 

Yachts can accommodate up to 12 people, at maximum. The exceptions are the mini-cruisers that can operate with more cabins, and are small passenger ships. But, the realistic capacity of the yacht is limited by the number of cabins, which can be double or twin, and the number of sleeping places defines the number of guests which yachts can accommodate. Normally it varies between 6 and 12 guests. Some yachts have Pullman beds (extra bunk bed) that are often seen in children’s rooms, so for example, you can have 11 guests in a five-cabin yacht.
 

A tip for the crew is not mandatory, but it is common to leave 5-15% of the total charter fee. It depends completely on the level of your satisfaction. It is customary to leave the tip to the captain who will distribute it among the entire crew.
