Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions before you start.
A crewed yacht charter is the weekly or daily rental of a yacht and its crew. This means a captain and a chef / mate for smaller yachts and for larger yachts there can be many more crew memebers including deckhands, stewardesses, engineers, etc.
Starts at about $18,000 per week all inclusive for 6 guests and ranges up to larger luxury yachts that can cost $80,000+ per week. All depends on what experience and service level you are looking for.
No. Our services are completely free to you.
Charter brokers are compensated by the yacht owner or central agency, so the price you pay is the same whether you book directly with the yacht or through Contigo Yachts. So why not take advantage of having an experienced advisor on your side?
From helping you narrow down the right yacht and crew to coordinating contracts, payments, itineraries, and special requests, we're your single point of contact throughout the entire booking process. If questions or unexpected issues arise before or during your charter, we're here to advocate for you and help ensure everything stays on track, giving you one less thing to worry about before your vacation.

No. Contigo supports yacht buying, private crewed charters, marine surveying, and conservation-minded yachting.
We are passionate about about helping others experience sailing and yacht ownership. We are not sales brokers but simply advisors that have access to information like sold yacht prices, market trends, etc. We can help you decide what boat will be a good fit for you, if you are paying fair market value for it, and what maintenance and repairs it will need.
Working with a yacht advisor who is also an accredited marine surveyor means you're getting guidance from someone trained to evaluate the condition, systems, construction, and long term ownership considerations of a yacht, not just its amenities and layout. That technical knowledge helps identify the strengths and weaknesses of different vessels, ensuring recommendations are based on quality, reliability, and suitability for your needs. Whether you're choosing a charter yacht today or considering yacht ownership in the future, you can make your decision with greater confidence.
Contigo Yachts is a boutique yacht charter agency founded by a lifelong sailor, licensed captain, and accredited marine surveyor.
We carefully curate our collection of charter yachts based on firsthand experience, spending time aboard the vessels, meeting their crews, and exploring the destinations they operate in. Rather than listing thousands of yachts, we focus on recommending exceptional yachts and crews that we know and trust, helping you book your charter with confidence.
"Our trip in the Exuma cays was amazing. Rick knows the best spots to visit. We were fishing, snorkeling, sailing and exploring with him all over the vast panorama of the Exuma. He was vigilant whenever we entered the water which always ensured our safety. The trip couldn't have been complete without Susie. She is the best cook we have ever met. Every meal was a feast! We highly recommend their services."
