Eleven is the number that makes a broker think. Almost every yacht in the charter fleet is certified for twelve guests under way, so a group of eleven sits just inside the limit rather than beyond it, and the whole mainstream fleet stays open to you. What changes is the sleeping plan, because eleven does not divide into couples. Somebody travels alone, and where that person sleeps decides which yachts actually work.
The fourteen yachts we list for eleven guests run from thirty two metres to sixty five, with the median close to forty two. Most solve the odd berth with a convertible twin, a proper single cabin or a pullman in a larger double, and the good ones make that room feel chosen rather than left over. Twelve of the fourteen are motor yachts. Admiral, Custom Line, CRN and Codecasa are the yards most represented here.
Weekly rates run from around forty nine thousand euros to two hundred and seventy thousand, with the median near one hundred and thirty three thousand, plus an advance provisioning allowance of roughly thirty percent covering fuel, food, berthing and drinks. July and August in the Mediterranean sit at the top of each yacht’s range, and a June or September week frequently buys a larger yacht for the same money.
Most of this fleet spends the summer between the South of France, Italy and Greece, with several crossing to the Bahamas and the Caribbean from December. Tell us who the eleventh guest is and we will build the shortlist around the cabin plan.
