Some helpful Yacht charter background information (info taken from Wiki) :

Yacht chartering is the practice of renting, or chartering, a sailboat or motor yacht and travelling to various coastal or island destinations, for business or vacation.

There are two main kinds of charter: bareboat and skippered. Bareboat charters require the client to skipper the boat themselves, while skippered charters include both boat and crew. Most bareboat charter companies offer basic seamanship courses to prepare clients for handling a boat. These companies may also provide skippered charters, which include a skipper, but no additional crew.

Skippered charters can involve anything from a 35-foot boat with a two-person team serving as captain and chef, to a 300-foot boat with a crew of 30 or more including stewardesses, escort, engineers, mates, deckhands, scuba dive masters, water sports instructor and the like.

Several factors determine the cost of a charter, including the size of the yacht, its age, its pedigree, the number of crew, time of sailing (whether it is high season or not) and the destination. The worldwide range of charter prices (per person per week) is estimated to be from $1000 up to and in excess of $20,000.

The rate for mega yachts or superyachts that are over 150-foot to 300-foot is estimated respectively to be from $45,000 up to $3,000,000 (per week)
