Yacht Charters for Large Groups: The Luxury of Traveling Together

Our fleet of yachts for large groups is not only spacious, but also excels in design, comfort, and on board services.

• Private mini cruisers: True boutique hotels on water, with spacious decks, relaxation areas, en suite cabins, private restaurants, fun water toys and there is even SPA.

• Luxury gulets: Traditional wooden vessels, typical of the Aegean Sea, that combine classic charm with modern-day comforts. Filled with a warm atmosphere, they are perfect for family celebrations or trips with friends.

• Large yachts: With sophisticated interior design and five-star services. A deck jacuzzi, outdoor cinema, fun water toys and gourmet menus are just the beginning.

All are designed to offer complete privacy, generous space, and personalised service uniquely tailored to the pace and needs of the group.

Yacht charters for large groups are ideal for those who want to enjoy quality time together without compromising on space, luxury, or privacy:

• Large families looking for a unique vacation with all generations.

• Groups of friends celebrating a special occasion or not celebrating a special occasion who want to simply relax and unwind together.

• Corporates organising incentive trips, team building sessions, or strategic meetings - outside of the office and in a much more inspiring setting.

• Celebrations marking life’s big moments - weddings, anniversaries, or milestone birthdays with your closest people.

The main destinations in the world for renting boats that cater for larger groups are:

• Croatia and its Dalmatian coast , with hundreds of islands, crystal-clear waters, and charming ports. This is the destination with the largest offering of luxury mini cruises with capacity for up to 40 passengers.
• Turkey, the true heart of gulets, ideal for routes full of history, nature, and really good food! These trips cater for groups of up to 36 passengers.

• The Galapagos Islands, a unique destination for groups wanting to explore the most extraordinary biodiversity on the planet on a private cruise for up to 20 passengers.

Other destinations include Greece, Indonesia, the Maldives, the United States, or French Polynesia that offer boat rentals for large groups, though options are more limited.

Since boats with a capacity for more than 12 passengers are in high demand, to find availability, it is ideal to book 6 to 9 months in advance, especially during high season or on holiday periods. If you are considering private mini cruisers, which are usually fully booked, it is common to book a year or more in advance.

The price of chartering a boat for a large group can vary depending on the type of vessel you choose as well as the time of year, the destination, and the services included. Below, we have provided an approximate estimate of weekly rates:

• Luxury gulets (20+ passengers): from €20,000 to €90,000 per week + expenses.

• Large yachts (up to 12–16 passengers): from €60,000 to over €150,000 per week + expenses.

• Private mini cruisers (20 to 40 passengers): from €50,000 to €120,000 per week + expenses.

With their large passenger capacity, the price per person can be similar to that of a luxury resort or boutique hotel offering the advantage of a fully private, tailored experience set against the stunning backdrop of the sea.

Chartering a boat for a large group is not just a different way to travel, it’s a shared experience. To create the kind of memories that don’t fit into a single photo, but unfold over slow mornings on deck, laughter in the water, and sunsets shared with the people who matter most.

At Yanpy, we don’t just rent boats. We create experiences that float on the water but are forever engraved in the memory of those who live them.
