Twelve guests and eight cabins is the configuration built for large groups that need both scale and privacy. A family reunion, a celebration with close friends, or a corporate retreat where participants arrive as couples and singles all find room in eight cabins without sharing. Two spare cabins beyond the six needed for pairs allow flexibility for single occupants, a children’s cabin, or staff travelling with the group.
Fifteen charter yachts carry this layout, ranging from fifty to one hundred and twenty two metres. The fleet sits firmly in the upper superyacht bracket, with builds from Lurssen, Oceanco, CRN, Sanlorenzo, Benetti, Golden Yachts and SilverYachts among others. Crews typically number twenty to forty, delivering service ratios that smaller yachts cannot approach.
Weekly rates open at one hundred and fifty thousand euros for Mirage, a fifty three metre Feadship, and climb to three million for Kismet, a Lurssen measuring one hundred and twenty two metres. The median falls near seven hundred and fifty thousand euros. The mid-range runs from roughly two hundred and fifty thousand to nine hundred thousand, covering yachts from CRN, CMN, Freire and Admiral. Add approximately thirty percent for the advance provisioning allowance.
The western Mediterranean anchors the summer season, with Monaco, Sardinia, the Amalfi Coast and the larger Greek harbours accommodating yachts of this size. Caribbean charters centre on Saint Barths, Antigua and the Bahamas from December through March. Several vessels cruise further afield to the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia during repositioning seasons. Get in touch with your dates and group.
