Thinking about chartering a yacht for your next Caribbean vacation but can?t decide whether to go bareboat or crewed? There are many differences between the two experiences, so it?s wise to do your research.
We at AndBeyond Yacht Charters are huge proponents of the crewed yacht charter vacation. In fact, none of our boats are available for bareboat charter (meaning: without crew). That?s because we?re committed to delivering more than just a vacation – we?re here to ensure you have the trip of a lifetime. And we know that?s only possible with a professional, attentive crew.
Aquí están nuestras 6 razones principales por las que alquilar &Beyond Yacht Chaters para sus próximas vacaciones en yate:
1) La comida
Food is a major component as to why chartering with a crew is such a game changer. First and foremost, the chefs on our yachts are all highly skilled and will serve you up inventive and delicious dishes for every meal. But beyond that, there?s so much more to think about when it comes to eating on a boat for a week or more as a group.
When you?re island-hopping, you can?t count on markets or grocery stores to be available where you dock/moor/anchor each evening. This means you need to provision your yacht in advance of your actual charter for the entirety of your charter. This requires a ton of planning. Our crews are experts at this; they know where to find everything on their lists, how to accommodate a variety of palates and dietary preferences, and how much food + drinks will actually be consumed over the course of a week.

Otra cosa a tener en cuenta: pocas personas realmente disfrutan cocinar durante las vacaciones, particularmente como una responsabilidad diaria. Vemos que esto le sucede a tantos navegantes desnudos que terminan tirando toneladas de comida al final de sus vuelos chárter porque comieron en restaurantes mucho más de lo que esperaban.
2) Navegacion
Even if you have plenty of boating experience elsewhere, learning the waters and conditions of a new locale can be stressful. We watch many bareboat charter vacations get ruined because people get in way over their heads. Whether it?s hitting an unexpected reef, crashing into a dock when the wind picks up, or accidentally slamming into another boat in a tight mooring field, there?s nothing that brings your holiday merriment to a halt faster.

Chartering with an experienced, licensed captain will ensure the safety of you, your group, and the boat, so your vacation can proceed without incident. Also, you?re free to imbibe as you please because there?s always a designated ?driver? at the helm.
3) Conocimiento local
Nuestras tripulaciones viven y trabajan en las Islas Vírgenes la mayor parte del año. Les encanta su isla natal y disfrutan especialmente mostrando a sus huéspedes todos sus lugares favoritos. Por supuesto, puede investigar en blogs y artículos antes de su viaje, pero nada supera el conocimiento local. Nuestros equipos están aquí para mostrarle los mejores chiringuitos, caminatas, lugares para hacer esnórquel y buceo, tiendas, maravillas naturales y mucho más.
Creación de recuerdos
When traveling as a group, getting photos with everyone together is always a challenge. With a yacht crew, you?ve got built-in photographers who are happy to snap pics for you both on the boat and whenever you go ashore. Some of our crew are even experienced underwater photographers who can capture you making friends with the fishes.

5) Mantenimiento + limpieza del barco
With boats, no matter how well they are maintained, it?s inevitable that sometimes things break. Do you really want to be responsible for unexpected repair work on your holiday? Our captains know their vessels in and out, and they have the skills + resources needed to fix almost any snafu without you even noticing.
Our crew will also keep the boat in ship shape throughout your entire charter – making beds, clearing dirty dishes, stowing away soggy beach towels, and tidying all the messes a group on a boat is capable of making.

6) Diversión familiar sin estrés
Los padres, en particular, consideran que la experiencia de alquilar un yate con tripulación es revolucionaria cuando se trata de vacaciones familiares. Llevar a los niños de vacaciones a menudo puede parecer tanto trabajo para mamá y papá que terminan sintiendo que necesitan otras vacaciones después de regresar a casa. No es así con la tripulación de un yate a su alcance.
A crewed yacht charter can feel like a true holiday for everyone – parents included! No thinking about what everyone?s going to eat, no cleaning up constantly after the kids, no planning out day after day of activities. Your crew will handle it all for you so you can both relax.

En general, alquilar un yate con tripulación es una experiencia mucho más lujosa. Levanta los pies y deja el trabajo a nuestro talentoso equipo. Permítanos beber y cenar, mostrarle esta increíble cadena de islas y organizar unas vacaciones que usted y su grupo nunca olvidarán.
