Remember, most of the time you only have one week of charter and in some cases, some of your guests might even have to leave earlier. You wouldn’t want to miss any of your yachting time with dealing with the draining side-effects of jetlag. - Check weather forecast with the Captain and your broker before you pack;
Remember that your charter consultant and the Captain are here to help you and to make sure that your experience is unforgettable. It is smart to ask them for the local weather forecast and seasonal averages prior to your trip. Some of the destinations can get quite chilly at night due to season or weather abnormalities. This will help you to be fully prepared.
