About Vessel Vista
TL;DR: Vessel Vista publishes plain-spoken guides to crewed yacht charters, written for people who want the real numbers before they speak to a broker.
Why this site exists
Charter pricing is hard to read from the outside. A weekly rate leaves out provisioning, fuel, taxes, and gratuity, and the contract terms change what's included. We break those costs down, compare yacht types honestly, and describe cruising grounds in practical detail.
How the guides are written
- Figures come from published rate ranges, standard charter contracts, and partner broker input, and are dated.
- Every guide shows the date it was last reviewed.
- Where a number varies widely, we give the range and say why.
How the site is funded
When you enquire through Vessel Vista, your request goes to our partner brokerage. If you book, the brokerage pays us a referral fee. You pay the same either way. Read the affiliate disclosure or start a charter enquiry.
