How to set-up a luxury yacht for charter, so when people pay to use your yacht their expectations are met.
How to set-up a luxury yacht for charter, so when people pay to use your yacht their expectations are met.
Firstly, the design of the yacht will meet their basic needs like enough beds, table places, relaxing areas, bathrooms and activity preferences (sail, motor, sporting equipment).
Secondly and most importantly, the yacht needs to equipped and set up to meet and hopefully surpass quality expectations. The products onboard will provide an experience of luxury and enable great service. Luxurious bedding, towelling, toiletries, beautifully presented dining with quality table and glassware all create a memorable experience.
Product choices for your home may need to be tweaked for onboard so you get the same luxurious look and feel, but where needed can be cleaned and look fantastic over and over again. This is where experience helps.
You may ask –
- How do I know I am getting the right products that will last, can be cared for correctly, look great and buy the right quantities?
- How will linens be washed and how frequently? What capabilities are onboard and what services are available externally?
- How will meals and drinks be served and on what? Breakfast, lunch, dinner, family style, fine dining, while sailing, on the beach? Breakability, durability.
- How will you create different table moods so there is wow and variety?
- Where and how will everything be stowed and secured? Consider access, frequency of use and the orientation of the boat? Underbed storage is great but not handy for frequent access if someone is sleeping on top of it!
- Is the galley equipped? Consider kitchen items that are multipurpose, the right size, stackable etc.
Now days there is so much choice – There are high end brands and luxury hotel ranges. It can be overwhelming. Consider glassware – There is crystal some with additives to make them hardier, glass that can fall over without breaking, and luxury acrylic crystal. What’s best for you and where do you buy these items?
