Can I choose which day of the week my yacht charter will begin and end on or is this non-negotiable?

Editorial Team

When it comes to superyacht charters, everything is possible and negotiable. There is no standard day to start a charter, no obligation to charter for an exact week starting Saturdays, and the choice of departure day and return depends on your own schedule. Even if charter rates are established on the basis of a one-week duration, it is always possible to discuss daily rates should you want to charter for a few more days, or less than a week. One important point here being that there is no obligation for a yacht owner to agree to any special request, and that prospective charterers should remember that owners, when they have to choose between two offers, will prefer to contract with clients who do want to stay longer onboard in order to generate higher income.
