Try or charter before you buy
Shipyard Experience
From Sanlorenzo and Azimut to other leading shipyards, BellaYacht helps clients use charter as a more informed path toward ownership.
SHIPYARD EXPERIENCE
Try Before You Buy
A yacht brochure never tells you how a yacht truly feels underway. Chartering first gives you real-world insight into space, circulation, comfort, service flow and life on board. It is the clearest way to understand whether a yacht fits your lifestyle before moving toward acquisition.
-
Assess the Right Layout
Experience cabins, deck flow, dining areas and owner spaces in real conditions, not just in staged photography.
-
Compare Shipyard Personality
Understand how brands differ in design language, onboard atmosphere, cruising feel and practical use.
-
Bridge Charter to Brokerage
Use charter as a smarter first step, then move into acquisition advice with a clearer idea of what suits you.

What refined guests usually ask before confirming a charter.
- Is the yacht fully private?
- Yes. Every BellaYacht charter is 100% privatization. The yacht is exclusively for your group, no shared cabins, no strangers on deck, no bareboat arrangements. A professional crew is included on every charter, ensuring you're cared for from departure to return.
- What is the starting price for a day charter?
- Pricing varies depending on yacht size, season, duration, and itinerary. Smaller yachts are typically more accessible, while larger superyachts with higher-end specifications command premium rates, especially during peak summer and major events. A tailored proposal is always provided based on your exact requirements and preferred experience.
- What is included in a crewed Mediterranean charter?
- A crewed week charter includes the yacht, professional captain, and full crew dedicated to onboard service and navigation. It also includes standard onboard amenities, water toys on selected yachts, and curated itinerary planning across the Mediterranean. Additional costs such as fuel, provisioning, port fees, and special requests may vary depending on usage and route.
- Who will handle my booking?
- You will be assigned a single dedicated yacht charter broker who manages your entire experience from initial inquiry to disembarkation. This ensures a consistent point of contact for yacht selection, itinerary planning, onboard requests, and any adjustments before or during your charter.
- Can itineraries be customized?
- Yes. Every itinerary is fully tailored. You can choose your preferred pace, destinations, and onboard experiences, whether that includes quiet anchorages, beach clubs, or multiple coastal stops along the Riviera. Routes are designed around your preferences, weather conditions, and cruising style.
- Do you organise charters for major Mediterranean events?
- Yes. We specialize in high-demand event charters for both the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix. These periods require early planning due to limited availability, and we provide access to prime yachts, strategic moorings, and fully managed onboard experiences during these flagship events.
