One hundred and twenty five thousand euros a week sits at the middle of the charter market, and it is the band where the choice becomes hardest. Thirty six yachts are quoted here, between one hundred and twenty five thousand and one hundred and forty five thousand euros a week, and they range from thirty three metres to sixty four.
The median is forty four metres with five cabins, which puts most of this band squarely in tri-deck territory. Thirty are motor yachts and six are sailing. Benetti and Feadship lead on numbers, with CRN, Trinity Yachts and Intermarine also represented. The band also holds two of the finest Indonesian phinisi afloat, Silolona at fifty metres and Prana by Atzaró at fifty five, which offer more length and deck space for the money than any fibreglass hull can match.
The median quote is one hundred and thirty six thousand euros. Add an advance provisioning allowance near thirty percent for fuel, food, berthing and drinks. The step up from one hundred thousand buys a real beach club and a sixth cabin more often than it buys extra length, so decide first whether you need the space or the toys.
Summers cover the Riviera, Sardinia, the Amalfi coast and the Greek islands, with the Adriatic within easy reach. Winters split between the Caribbean and, for the phinisi, Raja Ampat and Komodo. Tell us your dates and your group and we will show you what is open.
