Hiring A Yacht - South of France

[sa_20v]

I've always fancied spending a week or two with some friends on a yacht somewhere in the Med, and wondered whether it's possible to hire such craft on a weekly/monthly basis.

So, without having to steal a Sunseeker, does anyone know of such a scheme?

Very sexy

What sort of cost would that be for a weekend / week?

Would you need formal sailing experience?

I'll ask on the prices and email you, unfortunately it's skippered charter, but I'm sure you can helm it under supervision.

I've booked a 48ft Sunseeker through these guys which I'm taking out in a couple of weeks. So far they seem very good, but I'll report back after the trip!

I’ve always fancied doing something like that, what sort of prices are we looking at?

price depends on the size a 50' yacht would roughly cost around €2,000-3,000 per day

100' yacht €40,000-60,000 a week

160' yacht € 100,000-200,000 a week

I did a similar thing years ago around the Greek islands.

It was a number of years ago but I seam to remember that if you had the correct sailing qualifications it could be quite good value however it got quite expensive to do if you required a qualified skipper. I was lucky as my uncle was very into his sailing so we managed to do it as a family holiday on a reasonable budget.

Cousin works for these people http://www.nautilus-yachting.com/ who charter yachts with different services based on your experience

Great holiday and well worth doing.

We saw the "Maltese Falcon", that they have listed as a sailing yachts for charter, off the coast of Capri a few weeks ago. Amazing boat to see close up, but 345000 EUR a week.....

Don't forget fuel costs - these things do like a drink!
