A forty metre charter yacht occupies the sweet spot where genuine deck space meets agile coastal cruising. At this length, the tender garage typically holds two jet skis alongside a chase tender and a selection of inflatables, with a swim platform wide enough to launch and recover both machines at once. Forty five yachts in our fleet combine this size with jet skis aboard.
Crew numbers at forty metres run between eight and twelve, depending on the layout and pedigree of the build. Most carry four to six cabins, with a full-beam master and convertible twins for families. Yards behind this part of the fleet include Heesen, Feadship, Sunseeker and Benetti, from composite sportfish builds to steel and aluminium displacement hulls.
Weekly rates start from around twenty five thousand euros and run to three hundred and fifty thousand, with the centre of the fleet close to one hundred and forty five thousand euros. Add roughly thirty percent for the advance provisioning allowance, which covers fuel, food, berthing and drinks. Summer in the western Mediterranean and Christmas in the Caribbean see the strongest demand.
The south of France between Cannes and Saint-Tropez offers flat early water for jet ski runs before the afternoon breeze fills in. Sardinia, the Balearics and the Turkish coast all suit this draught, and Greece delivers sheltered bays with crystal water. In winter, the Bahamas and the Grenadines provide the warmth and the sea state to ride well into the afternoon. Contact us with your dates and we will find the right yacht.
