Chartering Considerations:

Choosing your dates

First in line when curating your trip, we must know which dates you are considering having your vacation. Whether the dates are firm or flexible, it is crucial to finding the best yacht, hotel and or villa for you based on availability. If you are not sure when you'd like to make your holiday, our team can guide you based on your interests and budget. What to consider when choosing which season to come? The weather, wind and sea temperature, the rates of the yachts and hotels (based on high and low season), the crowds, your activity interests, etc. All of this can be discussed with a Valef team member who knows intimately the details of the seasons per destination.

Finding the right charter yacht

While you might have an idea of the perfect yacht in mind, the best yacht for your group might not be what you think! Our job is to inform you for what is most important when selecting a yacht based on your needs and budget and our knowledge of the fleet.

Your yacht is your own private floating villa or floating island even, where you relish the company of your charter party and yacht crew and the splendid service onboard. But oh yes, beyond your floating oasis are incredible destinations to explore. Greece with her thousands of islands or Italy with the posh Amalfi Coast, and much more. Valef charters all over the Mediterranean, Turkey and Croatia and even in exotic locales upon request.

Cuisine

Tasting the local flavors of your charter destination is a great part of the experience which helps make long lasting memories. We source fresh, local products for your private onboard chef to make delicious creations with and when desired, source ingredients and food and beverage products from around the world to have aboard. We understand that on holiday you want to eat like a local or perhaps like a superstar and also have your dietary needs met whether it's gluten-free, vegan or other. We design menus with the chef of your yacht to cater to your needs and we consider the charter a success when customers first rave about the food. The way to the heart is through the belly after-all, no?! [enter][enter][enter][light-btn url="https://valefyachts.com/contact/#general-contact-us-form"]Inquire Now[/light-btn]

Crew

All of the yachts on our site are fully crewed. The crew is included in the rate of the yacht and each yacht has a certain amount of crew in order to best care for the yacht and the guests onboard. There is no better way to be pampered than having your Captain taking you to the best locations so you can open your eyes to new scenery each morning, the steward/stewardess bringing you your favorite drink before you realize you are thirsty, and your private chef catering to your tastes and surprising you with new flavors. We know the yachts' crew and communicate with them before and during the charter to ensure the best service.
