Ever wondered what it’s like to stay overnight on a yacht? Chartering through YATR is one of the easiest and most unforgettable ways to enjoy the water. Think peaceful sunsets, starlit skies, gourmet meals onboard, and waking up to the sound of gentle waves. We’ll walk you through exactly what to expect from an overnight yacht experience—from sleeping arrangements to meals, entertainment, and tips for first-timers.
Why Stay Overnight on a Yacht?
While day charters are popular for parties and sightseeing, overnight yacht charters offer a completely different kind of luxury. You’re not just chartering a yacht—you’re booking an all-in-one floating villa, complete with a private crew, chef-prepared meals, water toys, and ever-changing ocean views.
Some of the top reasons travelers choose to stay overnight on a yacht:
Privacy and exclusivity
Access to remote locations
Uninterrupted time with friends or family
Unique celebration setting (birthdays, proposals, anniversaries)
Bucket-list-worthy adventure
Private Cabins
Most yachts designed for overnight charters feature 2–5 cabins, each with private bathrooms. Beds range from twins to full-size king suites, depending on the size of the yacht. Think of it like a boutique at sea—only you have the entire place to yourself.
The 94’ Custom Line offers 5 cabins and sleeps up to 10 guests, with a modern, open layout perfect for smaller groups or families. The charter price is $16,752* per night. (A minimum booking of 2 nights is required.)
Crew & Service
Your crew usually includes a captain, a chef or stewardess, and sometimes a deckhand or additional support staff, depending on the yacht. They handle everything—navigation, food, drinks, cleaning, and guiding you through your itinerary. They’re also your go-to for local recommendations, operating water toys, and organizing beach picnics or island stops
The 95’ Benetti comes with a professional crew of 5, including a chef and deckhand, offering personalized five-star service. The charter price is $13,848* per night. (A minimum booking of 2 nights is required.)
Dining & Drinks
One of the best perks of staying on a yacht overnight is the dining. Meals are typically customized based on your preferences. Before your trip, you’ll fill out a provisioning form with any dietary needs, favorite snacks, drinks, or planned meals.
The 88’ Sirena is known for gourmet meals prepared onboard, from lobster dinners to sushi nights, all tailored by a private chef. The charter price is $15,525* per night. (A minimum booking of 2 nights is required.)
Entrtainment & Activities
When you’re not relaxing onboard, you’ll have plenty to keep you busy. At YATR, most yachts include an exciting mix of water toys and onboard entertainment options to suit every kind of traveler. Expect fun extras like a jacuzzi, jetski, waterslide, seabobs, floats, and a cinema room.
The 120’ Tecnomar is loaded with water toys such as a seabob, jetski, floats, waterslide, jacuzzi for relaxation, and a 12-foot cinema screen perfect for movie nights at sea. The charter price is $13,800* per night. (A minimum booking of 2 nights is required.)
Tips for First-Timers
Booking your first overnight yacht stay? Here are a few helpful tips to make your experience smooth and memorable:
Double-check the cabin layout: Make sure the yacht has enough private cabins and beds for your group. Most yachts accommodate 4–10 guests for overnight stays.
Pack light (but smart): Storage on yachts is limited. Opt for soft-sided luggage, and don’t forget essentials like sunscreen, motion sickness bands (just in case), and swimwear.
Trust your crew: The captain and team are there to make your trip seamless. Don’t hesitate to ask for local recommendations, beach setups, or schedule changes.
