When you rent a crewed charter yacht, you would expect certain MUST-HAVES.
All the yachts for rent with Epic Yacht Charters are crewed. You don’t have to lift a finger unless you wish to join in on the sailing/motoring. You certainly do not have to participate in ANY cooking since your private chef is trained. If you have an additional crew on your charter, they will attend to cabins and watersport activities.
The yachts for rent are mostly catamarans. They have much more space to move about and are certainly very comfortable underway and at anchor.
Must-haves:
- Comfortable bed and bedding
- Large windows for ample light
- En-suite bathrooms with walk-in shower stalls
- Hairdryers
- Electric flush toilettes
- Air conditioning with individual controls
- Electric fans and reading lights
- Drawers and a closet for storage and hanging clothes
- Blinds or shades for privacy
On the exterior, some of the catamarans have different layouts and therefore you may choose one to suit your needs.
Must-haves:
- A flybridge/sky-lounge
- Comfortable seating with backrests
- Sun-beds with a shaded option
- A dining table or large coffee table
- A bbq grill
- A refrigerator
- An icemaker
- Outdoor shower on the stern with hot and cold water
- Large beach towels
The yachts are competing with each other to have all the best watersport toys onboard.
Must-haves:
- A tender (RIB boat) capable to transport all guests
- Towable toys, such as a Tube, Wakeboard, Kneeboard, Surfer and water skis
- Floating mats, islands, and colorful tubes

FAQs
Yes. On a well-appointed crewed yacht each stateroom has its own en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower stall, an electric flush toilet and a hairdryer. The cabins themselves are built for a week aboard, with large windows for natural light, blinds or shades for privacy, reading lights, electric fans, and drawers and a closet for storage.
No. On a crewed charter you do not have to lift a finger. You are welcome to join in with the sailing or motoring if you would enjoy it, but there is no requirement to. Cooking is handled entirely by your trained private chef, and where there is additional crew aboard, they look after the cabins and run the watersports activities.
A comfortable charter yacht covers three areas. Cabins should have en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers, electric flush toilets, hairdryers, individually controlled air conditioning, good natural light and proper storage. Living spaces should offer a spacious salon and a large dining area in the cockpit, with easy flow from inside to out. On deck, look for a flybridge or sky-lounge, shaded sun-beds, a barbecue grill, a fridge and icemaker, and a hot and cold shower on the stern.
Because of the space and the ride. Catamarans have far more room to move around than a comparable monohull, and they are notably comfortable both underway and at anchor. Their layouts also vary quite a bit from yacht to yacht, especially on deck, which means you can choose one whose exterior spaces suit how your group likes to spend the day.
Most Caribbean yacht charter activities include comprehensive water sports equipment: snorkeling gear, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, fishing equipment, and inflatable water toys. Premium yachts often feature sea scooters, water skis, wakeboards, and even SCUBA diving equipment with certified instructors.
Yes. Crewed charter yachts are fully air conditioned, and each cabin has individual controls so you can set the temperature for your own comfort. Generators provide the power to run the air conditioning and every other system onboard when required, and some yachts also carry solar panels.
