The swim platform is where a charter yacht meets the water, and two hundred and nine in our fleet have one worth using. The group runs from twenty four to eighty eight metres with a median of forty seven, and includes some of the most recognisable hulls on the site.
A platform is not just a step. On a well designed yacht it is a working deck with a swim ladder, a freshwater shower, somewhere to sit with your feet in the sea, and enough room to launch tenders and toys without clearing everyone out. A hundred and seventy nine are motor yachts and twenty nine are sailing, including Maltese Falcon at eighty eight metres. Benetti leads with twenty one, then Feadship with fourteen and Amels with eleven.
Rates run from eighteen thousand five hundred euros to a million a week, with the median at a hundred and seventy five thousand. An advance provisioning allowance of around thirty percent covers fuel, food, berthing and drinks. On a charter built around swimming, ask about tender numbers and crew, since supervision is what makes the toys usable.
This suits anchorage cruising rather than marina hopping. The Balearics, the Aeolian islands, the Ionian and the Grenadines all reward a yacht you can get in and out of the water from easily. Send us your dates and we will show you what is available.
