Occasions & experiences

Nobody charters a yacht. They charter a week.

A seventieth birthday, a first dive, three generations under one roof, or a month of ice and silence. Tell us the reason and the yacht becomes a detail — the right one, chosen last.

Larger parties

Most charter yachts welcome up to 12 guests. A select few luxury passenger vessels can carry up to 30 — for larger charters we suggest Freedom, available in Croatia, or Sherakhan, available worldwide.

Together, without the logistics

Multi-generation family weeks

Up to 26 guests · Croatia (Freedom up to 22) or Sherakhan up to 26, worldwide · June and September are calmest

Grandparents, parents and small children on one boat, each at their own pace. The yacht moves while the little ones nap, the teenagers wake up to a new bay, and nobody spends the week driving to restaurants or chasing check-in times.

Cabin plan that keeps young children near their parents
A crew used to children — and, where you want it, a dedicated nanny
Two menus every meal: one for the grown-ups, one the children will actually eat
Shallow, sheltered anchorages and short hops between islands
Towables, paddleboards and a tender big enough for everyone at once
For the biggest family weeks, we often suggest Sherakhan — room for everyone onboard, and the whole family around one table

Katarina’s note
I always ask the ages of the children first. It changes the yacht, the route and the crew more than the budget does.

A yacht at anchor in golden evening light

A date you will keep telling people about

Anniversaries, birthdays and proposals

Typically up to 12 guests · up to 26 onboard Sherakhan · the Mediterranean and the Adriatic · May to early October

A milestone at sea does not need a marquee. It needs one evening arranged so precisely that it feels effortless — the right anchorage, the right light, and a crew who know when to disappear.

A private cove or a table ashore held only for your party
A proposal moment planned to the minute with the captain and chef
Cake, flowers, wine and music sourced locally and brought onboard before you arrive
A photographer by tender for an hour at sunset
Guests joining for the evening only, collected and returned by the crew

Katarina’s note
The quiet details land hardest — the song from your first dance playing as you come back aboard.

Water you cannot reach from a hotel

Diving and marine-life journeys

Certified and first-time divers · Komodo, Raja Ampat, the Maldives, the Red Sea, the Caribbean

As a diver, this is the charter I plan most carefully. The point of a yacht here is simple: you sleep above the site and you are in the water at first light, long before the day boats arrive.

Yachts with onboard compressors, nitrox and proper dive tenders
An instructor onboard for the week — certification courses for beginners included
Routing built around season, currents and the animals you want to see
Marine biologists and local guides who know the individual sites
Snorkelling alternatives so non-divers never sit the day out

Katarina’s note
Tell me the animal you want to see and the month you can travel, and I will tell you honestly whether the timing works.

A sauna looking out over a fjord at sunset

Slow is the luxury

Wellness and slow cruising

2–10 guests · the fjords, the Aegean, quiet Dalmatia · shoulder season

Fewer miles, longer anchorages, and a week built around sleep, water and food. No marina nights unless you ask, no itinerary to keep up with.

Yachts with a sauna, a hammam, a gym or a proper swim platform
A therapist onboard, or treatments arranged in each anchorage
Menus agreed with the chef — plant-led, low alcohol, whatever suits you
Morning yoga on the foredeck and guided cold-water swims
Phones-down days, if that is what you want us to design for

Katarina’s note
The guests who ask for the fewest miles usually come home the most rested. Say it out loud when you brief me.

Where the charts run out

Remote expeditions

Antarctica, Svalbard, Greenland, Norway, Indonesia, the Pacific · planned 6–12 months out

Ice, atolls and coastlines with nothing ashore. These weeks are planned months ahead, on explorer yachts built to carry their own fuel, helicopter and submersible.

Ice-class and explorer yachts with the range for the region
Helicopter and submersible operations, where the yacht carries them
Expedition leaders, polar guides and permits handled before departure
Heli-skiing, glacier landings and untouched anchorages
Contingency routing — in these waters the weather writes the plan

Katarina’s note
Bold is the yacht I know best for this. Ask me early: the good expedition weeks are gone a year ahead.

The best meal of the week is onboard

Food, wine and the table

Croatia, Italy, Greece, the south of France · all season

A charter chef cooks for eight people whose preferences they know by Tuesday. Add the vineyards, the fishermen and the family konobas ashore, and the food becomes the reason you remember the week.

Chefs matched to how you actually like to eat, not to a brochure
Private tastings at vineyards and olive estates reachable by tender
Tables held at restaurants that do not take bookings
Market mornings and fish bought off the boat that landed it
A sommelier's list loaded before you board, within your APA

Katarina’s note
Tell me your best meal of the last year. It tells me more about your week than a budget ever does.

Every charter is planned personally, and we take on a limited number of guests each season. If your reason is not on this page, it is still the first thing we want to hear.
