The document compares luxury yacht charters to cruise ships and argues that chartering a yacht can be more affordable and exclusive than one may think. It notes that groups of friends or families spending $6,000 or more per person on luxury cruises could pool their money and charter an 80-100 foot yacht together for around $32,000 per week. Chartering a yacht provides more freedom and a highly personalized experience without other passengers, with a dedicated crew, chef, and captain catering exclusively to the charter group.
