Frequently Asked Questions About Crewed Luxury Yacht Charter

Before booking a crewed luxury yacht charter, you can find answers below to the most common questions about crew structure, gratuity, dietary preferences and service scope.

On smaller crewed yachts the standard structure is captain, hostess and chef. As yacht size grows, deckhands, engineers and additional stewardesses are added. The exact crew composition depends on yacht size, flag, and operating regulations.

Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and other dietary preferences are accommodated. A guest preference sheet is shared before the charter so the chef can plan menus and provisioning accordingly.
