as rated by our actual clients, with a sample of their actual testimonials. We know that our
happy clients are a great source of information about yachts and their
crews and want to make sure you have this information when making that
crucial charter decision.

winning classic yacht.

Our Top Rated Charter Yachts, as
Rated by our Clients!
After each charter, we ask our clients to give us honest
feedback and rate their yacht and crew on a 1-5 star scale. We have
received literally hundreds of user ratings (almost all 4 star and
above), which are incredibly helpful when you're planning your charter.
Several of the yachts get amazing ratings time and time again, so this
month we thought we'd feature a few of the best.
