Eight guests in four cabins at thirty metres is where crewed charter starts to make sense on price. Two couples with children, or four couples who know each other well, get a cabin each, a crew of four and a week that costs less than a fortnight in a good villa, with none of the logistics.
Nine yachts hold this configuration and most are recent production hulls from Ferretti, Pershing, Sunseeker, Princess, Monte Carlo Yachts, Sanlorenzo and Ocean Alexander, built between 2013 and 2024. All nine run four cabins, so the only real layout question is whether the fourth room is a twin. Suncoco, a 1992 Lowland, is the outlier and the one displacement hull in the group.
Weekly rates run from eighteen thousand five hundred euros to seventy five thousand, with the median at sixty thousand and most of the fleet between fifty five and sixty nine thousand. An advance provisioning allowance of roughly thirty percent covers fuel, food, berthing and drinks. At this size fuel is a smaller share of the allowance than it is higher up the fleet.
These are fast hulls, twenty five knots and more on several, which makes the day the unit rather than the week. Saint Tropez for lunch and back to Antibes by evening, Ibiza across to Formentera, Split to Hvar and Vis. Shallow draft opens Croatian and Cycladic anchorages that larger yachts only read about.
