On a Captain-Only charter, you have exclusive use of the yacht and water toys and your captain will have full command of all aspects of getting you around to those delightfully secluded anchorages. The charter rate includes the yacht and captain (no chef) and you are responsible for the cooking (both for you and the captain) and cleaning as well as all operating costs such as provisions (both for you and the captain), fuel and water. This gives you total control over the amount you want to spend on the things that matter most to you.
You may decide to eat all your meals ashore or spend the night in a marina. The choice and costs are yours. This chartering option can be the most economical way to experience the beauty of our clear blue waters and white sandy beaches as a hands-on (you cook), team spirited holiday.
Some yachts offer variations on the typical Captain-Only charter and the details will be thoroughly discussed prior to booking.
Please note that some of these fine yachts also offer the standard fully crewed, all-inclusive charters.
Catatonic, a Lagoon 44, accommodates 6 guests and has a very spacious Master stateroom with Queen bed, love seat, vanity and large head with separate shower. Basically, this suite encompasses the entire starboard hull and is very private. The port hull has 2 ensuite cabins. She is fully air-conditioned with separate controls in each cabin. There are TV’s in all cabins but you probably won’t have time for that! SCUBA diving for certified divers is included in the rate. Captain only charter includes First Mate/Chef who will cook one dinner aboard.
