Adding a skipper to your charter

Enjoy all the freedom of a Sailing Yacht or a Powerboat charter without having to know anything about sailing! Embark on a boating adventure on  a luxury sailing yacht or powerboat, and bring along family and friends for a dream holiday in paradise.  Having a professional skipper on board assures a stress-free sailing holiday, and offers the added benefit of a personable guide who knows the attractions of our destinations. You can also include a cook to take the hassle out of preparing meals.

How to add a skipper to your charter

  • Skippers (and chefs) can be added to your booking as an optional extra. First of all, browse our Sailing Yacht or Powerboat holiday options and choose your boat and destination. Then, when you book, simply add your crew for an extra charge. The cost of a skipper varies by destination, but on average costs approximately £120 per day.
  • Our All-inclusive Crewed Yacht Charters already include a Captain and Chef in the price - so these don't have to be added as an extra.

Skippers by the day

  • Perhaps you can sail, but would like the guidance of a skipper to refresh your skills for the first few days. That's no problem! Skippers can be added for as many days as you wish - although you will have to return to base to drop them off on the last day they're needed.

Moorings Yacht Ownership Program

Yacht ownership with The Moorings is easy and exciting.  Owning a Moorings charter yacht includes up to twelve weeks of sailing onboard your yacht every year or sailing a sister ship based at one of our other charter destinations, giving you your choice of sailing virtually anywhere in the world. We guarantee monthly income from your yacht that exceeds your monthly yacht payment, and we pay for dockage, insurance, parts, repairs, labour, and  more.

  • Step aboard and sail away. We take care of everything
  • Generate income from your yacht
  • Zero operating expenses and professional maintenance

Which holiday option to choose?

There are many ways to use our website to find your dream yacht charter holiday. You can browse our many exciting destinations and then choose a boat that operates there - or you can browse our extensive fleet of monohull yachts, catamarans or power boats and then chose from the destinations it serves.

Either way, before you do anything, it is a good idea to decide which holiday option you would like first - as not all our destinations and boats are possible with our power and crewed holidays. 

Sailing Yacht Charters - the majesty and freedom of a yacht under sail is an exhilarating expereince like no other. Sailing Charters are perfect for those wanting unhurried days, enjoying the sea, the sun and each others company. Those with little or no experience can add a skipper if required. 
Powerboat Charters - spend more time exploring your chosen destination by travelling speedily and effortlessly from stop to stop. The power of the engine and the rush of the wind as you cut through the waves is a thrilling tonic for all adventure lovers.  Those with little or no experience can add a skipper if required. 
All-inclusive Crewed Charters - experience indulgent luxury with Captain, Chef, food, drink and personal 5-star service all included.

  • Which option you choose may depend upon your level of experience, but remember - whether you've never set foot onboard a yacht before or are a seasoned sailor - we have an option for you. Use our 'Experience Guide' to help you match your ability with the right holiday for you.

Testimonials

  • Our holiday aboard The Moorings 474 in the BVI was the most fabulous...truly was the best holiday ever and we have been around the world!

    Anne PingreeThe Moorings customer since 2009
  • I wanted to bring both my parents and my children, so my dad could teach my boys how to sail in the place where he first learned, passing the tradition on to the next generation. I can only say that it exceeded my expectations, and my family cannot wait to go back.

    Liz AmberlyThe Moorings customer since 2009
