When booking a yacht charter, understanding the difference between day charter and overnight capacities is essential. Whether you're planning a short excursion or an extended getaway, knowing how many guests can be accommodated ensures a smooth experience.
Day Charter Capacity: How Many Guests Can Join?
A day charter is perfect for those looking to explore the water for a few hours (typically 4–6 hours) or a full day (8 hours). Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, enjoying water sports, or relaxing with friends, these charters offer an exciting experience.
Maximum Capacity: 13 Passengers – This limit applies to most private yacht charters with YATR, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests. However, some smaller yachts may have a lower passenger limit due to maritime safety regulations and design specifications.
Crew is not included in the passenger count – The yacht’s professional crew is there to provide service and does not count toward the 13-passenger limit.
Amenities & Activities – Enjoy spacious deck areas, sun loungers, dining spaces, and access to water toys such as seabobs, jetski, floats, etc.
For example:
The 35’ Intrepid accommodates up to 8 passengers for day charters.
The 68’ Galeon accommodates up to 13 passengers for day charters.
Overnight Charter Capacity: How Many Guests Can Stay?
For those planning a multi-day adventure, overnight capacity depends on the yacht’s cabin configuration. Unlike day charters, the number of overnight guests is determined by the number of available cabins.
Guest accommodations – Yachts typically feature luxurious cabins that can accommodate between 2 to 12 guests overnight, depending on the size and layout.
Private quarters – Cabins often include en-suite bathrooms, entertainment systems, and plush bedding for ultimate comfort.
Full-service experience – Overnight charters come with a dedicated crew, including chefs, stewards, and captains, ensuring a seamless journey.
For example:
The 70’ Azimut Fly has 4 cabins for up to 8 guests overnight.
The 94’ Custom Line has 5 cabins for up to 10 guests overnight.
Choosing the Right Charter for Your Needs
If you're looking for a fun, social outing with a larger group, a day charter is ideal, keeping the passenger count at 13. If you want a private and extended escape with onboard accommodations, an overnight charter offers comfort and personalized service.
