Crete Luxury Yacht Charter Vacations

A Crete yacht charter gives you unrivalled coastal access to Greece’s largest island and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean. It lies south of the Aegean Sea and was historically and important link between Africa and Asia. At over 62 miles long, Crete’s coastline consists of both sandy beaches and rocky shores. Most luxury charter yachts and private superyachts visit during July and August when the weather is at its best. Favourite luxury yacht anchorages include Ayia Roumeli, Loutro, Vai and Spinaloga. There’s also a good selection of ports like Ayios Nikolaos, Iraklio and Rethimno.

Crete is well known for its beautiful beaches like Balos Beach, Preveli Beach and Falassama Beach, most of which are in the south of the island. Water sports such as jet skiing and wind surfing are very popular here. Why not arrange an island tour to see the White Mountains, Mount Ida, caves and amazing landscapes?

For yacht charterers who are interested in Greek history, Crete is certainly the place to head for. One of the most popular attractions is the Palace of Knossos, just south of Iraklio. This is a well-preserved palace containing workshops, storerooms, the throne room, banqueting halls and the royal quarters. It dates back to 2000-1350 BC and is a must-visit.

Those holidaymakers who enjoy trekking and walking won’t be disappointed when rambling through Crete’s mountains and hills. Take a walk out of Maleme to the quaint hilltop village of Deres. Here there’s a friendly taverna and a whitewashed church. The Samaria National Park which is accessible by bus has one of the biggest gorges in all of Europe.

If you have children with you on your yacht charter vacation, the Acqua Plus Water Park won’t disappoint them. Less than 20 miles from Heraklion it is split into two sections, one for children and one for adults. The delightful gardens around the water park have many exotic plants and flowers to see with a water slide waiting to be discovered underneath a lovely weeping willow tree. With slides, games and a lazy river, spend the day at this exciting park before returning to your superyacht for a good night’s rest. 

Next day why not visit the Venetian Harbour which is full of charm and grandeur? Your yacht charter captain can arrange anchorage nearby. Alternatively, there’s the CretAquarium that holds over 2,000 different species of marine life. There’s nothing better than a hearty Greek meal so look out for foodie hotspots that are rustic and have amazing menus. Don’t forget to order a bottle of the local wine. All in all Crete is a wonderful destination for a yacht charter holiday.

Yacht Charter Greece – The Aegean Yachting offers a wide range of sailing yachts, motor yachts, and catamarans in some of the most beautiful destinations in Greece .  A brand of Nikolas Yachting Ltd. , Aegean Yachting provides affordable yacht charters in Greece and the Greek islands . You can explore the Greek islands with a sailing or motor yacht, bare-boat or with a skipper for the vacation of a lifetime. The Greek peninsula is at the far south east of Europe is made up of the mainland (Attica, Peloponnese, Central Greece, Thessaly, Epirus, Macedonia and Thrace) and the islands in the Aegean and Ionian Seas. The area has a population of about 10 million.

Athens , the capital and largest city of Greece: The name of Greece’s capital derives from the name of the Goddess of wisdom and intelligence, Athena. This unique city is where democracy first saw the light of day, and where the Parthenon, the gem of architecture, was built.

Yacht charter bases in Greece – Greek islands:

Greece has an extremely large number of islands – 6,000-odd islands and islets scattered in the Aegean and Ionian Seas, of which only 227 islands are inhabited. Most of the islands are found in the Aegean Sea and are divided into many groups:

Sporades Islands: Pine-clad, picturesque, and hilly islands with some of Greece’s most beautiful beaches — Alonnisos , Skiathos , Skopelos , and Skyros .

Dodecanese Islands  ( Yacht Charter in Dodecanese, Greece ) – This group of islands has some of the most cosmopolitan and tranquil of the Greek Islands – 15 larger and about 150 smaller Greek islands — Astypalaia , Agathonisi , Alimia, Arkoi, Chalki, Farmakonisi, Gyali, Kalymnos , Karpathos , Kasos , Kastellorizo , Kinaros, Kos , Lipsi , Leipsoi, Leros , Levitha, Marathos, Nisyros , Nimos , Patmos , Pserimos , Rhodes , Symi , Saria, Strongyli, Syrna, Telendos , and Tilos .

Cyclades Islands  (Yacht Charter in Cyclades, Greece), situated in the heart of Aegean Sea, Cyclades is one of the most popular yacht charter destination in Greece.

This group of islands is made up of 56 islands of various sizes, with the most important being Amorgos, Anafi, Andros, Antiparos, Delos, Ios, Kea, Kimolos, Kythnos, Milos, Mykonos, Naxos, Paros, Santorini, Serifos, Sikinos, Sifnos, Syros, Tinos, Folegandros, as well as the “Minor Cyclades” comprising Donousa, Irakleia, Koufonisia and Schinousa.

Saronic Islands  also known as  Gulf of Aegina   (Yacht Charter in Saronic Gulf, Greece), easily accessible from Athens or Poros, excellent for bareboat yacht charters or flotillas alike.

This area is also ideal for beginners with steady predictable afternoon breezes – the islands of Aegina/Aegena, Salamina/Salamis, Poros, Patroklos, Fleves, Angistri,  Methana, Spetses, and Hydra.

Ionian Islands  ( Yacht Charter in Ionian, Greece )  – The Ionian Sea is an ideal yacht charter destination and somewhat more peaceful than the Aegean.

The lush green beauty of the Ionian Islands offer gentle sailing from bases in Corfu and Lefkas makes this a family friendly yacht charter area in Greece – lying just off the West coast of Greece, Ionian islands resemble a necklace, and include Paxos and Antipaxos, Corfu, Levkas, Kefalonia, Ithaca and Zakinthos.

Evia  (Yacht Charter in Evia, Greece) – The prefecture of Evia (which also includes the island of Skiros), is next to the prefecture of Viotia on the east and on the south touches the Aegean Sea, on the north and northwest to the Pagasitiko and Maliako Gulf, while on the west and southwest with the north and south Evian Gulf.

The Northeastern Aegean Islands  (Yacht Charter in Northeastern Aegean, Greece)  – Agios Efstratios, Thasos, Ikaria, Lesbos, Limnos, Inouses, Samos, Samothrace, Chios, Psara.

Crete    – an authentic Greek Island with a metropolitan twist: Yacht charter in Crete is a wonderful experience, offering the ultimate escape. Located at the southernmost tip of Greece, Crete is the largest island of Greece and divided in to 4 prefectures.

From west to east: Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion and Lasithi.

If you want to explore all that the Mediterranean has to offer, then Crete is a must-see. It is the biggest island in Greece and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean, so there is so much to see and discover. Crete is unique because it has a combination of crystal clear waters, beautiful beaches, majestic mountains, and a deep culture that can be experienced throughout. The capital city, Heraklion, is known to have housed one of Europe’s oldest civilisations, the Minoans. Ultimately, there is something on this island for everyone and a private yacht charter is undoubtedly the best way of discovering Crete because it gives you the opportunity to wander around every beach and hidden cave that there is. What are you waiting for? Create unforgettable memories with Scansail now.

How much is a private yacht charter in Crete?

The price of your private yacht charter in Crete depends on numerous factors including the season, the type of yacht, the size of the vessel, and the duration of your charter. Below is a list of the average prices according to boat type.

€2,520 per week in the low season

€5,180 per week in the high season

€999 per week in the low season

€1,099 per week in the high season

€6,000 per week throughout the season

What is the best time to visit Crete?

The most popular time to visit Crete is during the summer when the weather is hot and dry. The temperatures in July and August can reach up to 30 degrees Celsius and the sun shines for around 12 hours! However, this time of year is also the most crowded time to visit Crete. Therefore, a private yacht charter is a perfect way to distance yourself from the crowds and explore the hidden beaches around the coastline.

Should you charter a private yacht with or without a skipper?

You will find that many yachts on Scansail come with the option to include a skipper. While this adds to the overall price, it can bring many advantages to your boating holiday. For example, a professional skipper is ideal for people that do not have nautical experience, because they will take care of all the sailing, docking, and anchoring for you. Moreover, the skipper will be familiar with Crete and its waters, leaving you in comfortable and safe hands. Overall, a skipper has so much to offer when it comes to a private yacht charter in Crete, so don’t miss out on the opportunity!

What to do in Crete

Crete is not only one of the most popular tourist destinations in all of Greece, but also the entire Mediterranean! There is so much to experience on this island that it can be hard to decide where to start. This is why we have some suggestions to inspire you on your boating holiday.

If you want to get to know the long history of this island, then the best way to learn is by visiting the town centres. You can visit the capital, Heraklion, or other large cities such as Chania and Rethymno. While you walk around the cobblestone streets, you can see remains of the numerous civilisations that stood before such as the Minoans, Venetians, and Ottomans. Some particularly unique examples of architecture are the arched paved streets and high buildings from the Venetians or the Mosque of the Janissaries in Chania from the Ottomans. You can also visit the stunning Palace of Knossos to get to know more about Crete’s myths, where it was said to be home to the Minotaur during the Bronze Age.

Apart from the culture, this island has an endless amount of beautiful beaches with turquoise waters. One of the most famous examples is the Balos Lagoon in Kissamos. This beach has silky white sands and clear waters that attract tourists from all over. You can find it between Cape Gramvousaa and Cape Tigani, however, it is best accessed by yacht. Other popular beaches are Myrtos and Loutro Beach which have vibrant reefs with shipwrecks and caves that are great to discover by kayak. If you are a fan of snorkelling or scuba diving, you’ll love to know that Crete is also home to some exotic flora and fauna! If you pass through the shallow end of the waters, you can find sea turtles, monk seals, and if you’re really lucky, even dolphins!

Explore nearby destinations on your private yacht charter

If you have the chance to charter your yacht for longer periods, you can use this time to discover nearby destinations! If you don’t want to travel too far, you can stay in Greece and head towards the nearby archipelago with the Dodecanese Islands. This includes other beautiful and lush islands that are perfect for family holidays such as Rhodes, Tilos, and Karpathos. However, you can also expand your sailing route to include the Cyclades, the Sporades, or the Ionian Islands. The possibilities are endless when it comes to the Greek islands! There is so much rich history and wonderful scenery in the country that you can never be bored. Alternatively, if you would prefer to venture off into other countries, you can see other nearby destinations such as Italy, Malta, or Albania.

Crete yacht charter: Full guide to renting a boat in Crete

Thinking about booking a Crete yacht charter to explore one of the most amazing Greek Islands this summer?

Read this guide and learn all you need to know before you rent a boat in Crete in 2022. With these sailing tips, you’ll enjoy your yacht vacation in Crete, sail to beautiful destinations and relax!

A bit about Crete’s history

The Minoans governed the eastern Mediterranean from 2800 to 1150 BC, and Crete was home to one of the world’s most prominent civilizations. The art that has survived on this Greek island reflects a polished and peaceful civilization. The Museum in Iraklion has a good collection showcasing Crete’s heritage.

The Egyptians, Phoenicians, and Syrians established a flourishing civilization via commerce, seafaring, and trading with other peoples. The Achaians and Dorians soon followed. The Romans conquered Crete from 69 until 330 AD, and Gortyn was their main town. Crete was captured by the Arabs in 824 and was not liberated until 961.

The island was thereafter given to the Venetians in 1204. They secured the island with new castles and laid the foundations for the new towns of Hania and Rethimno. Within the walls, towns grew with narrow lanes and residences intermingled with ornate churches, fountains, piazzas, and palaces, the ruins of which may still be seen today.

The Turks arrived on the island for the first time in 1645, and by 1669, they had conquered the whole island of Crete.

The island was not joined with the rest of Greece until 1913.

How much does it cost to charter a yacht in Greece?

greek yacht charter cost crete

Renting a boat in Greece starts at $330 per day in the low season . However, the Greek yacht charter cost goes up to $13,800 per week for Crete in the high season. Large private yacht charters in the Greek Islands are often chartered with a skipper, and there are also lots of luxury crewed yacht charters (or all inclusive yacht charters) in Greece.

Greece sailing charters prices for boats without captain or crew prices are lower than most bareboat Mediterranean yacht charter prices. To lower the cost of boat hire in Greece even further, you can group up for flotilla sailing holidays Greece and then contact companies like Kavas Yachting, Sunsail Greece, Nautilus Yacht Charter, MG Yachts to get a personalized offer.

The most popular Crete yacht charter locations are Chania , Heraklion , and Foinikas. If you have the time (and money) for a long Aegean yachting vacation, you can definitely expand your internet search with bareboat yacht charter Cyclades , motor yacht charter Athens, yacht charter Skiathos , or yacht charter Athens Greece .

What are the sailing conditions for Crete?

The prevailing wind in the summer is the dreaded Meltemi from the NW or W-NW.

In July and August, the winds are at their fiercest, reaching Beaufort 5-6 on the northern shore, but they are usually around 3-4. Do keep in mind that many inexperienced sailors renting boats from the continent choose to pay an extra fee to Crete yacht charter companies to return their rented boats to the mainland because they are incapable to sail back up safely by themselves through the winds on the northern coast.

On the southern coast, the Meltemi blows at a force of 2 to 4, in spring and fall. Strong squalls that blow down from the mountains are well-known along the southern shore. There is a minimal warning, and they can be dangerous near inshore.

During the summer months, the average daily temperature on the Greek island reaches 35 ° Celsius, with temperatures as high as 40 degrees Celsius not unusual.

Northern Crete yacht charter destinations

kissamos yacht charter crete greece

Kissamos is located in the northwest corner of Crete. Yachts are welcome to dock alongside or anchor in the harbor. There’s a good cover from the west and northwest, but the area is exposed to the east and southeast. Getting away in a strong northerly might be tough since the yacht will have to struggle to exit the bay.

Water is easily accessible, and there’s also a Greek taverna nearby. If you want to buy provisions, Kastelli is 1 mile away by bus.

chania crete greek island sailing itineraries

To the east of this Greek island, you’ll find Chania. In a strong northerly wind, the waves can heap up at the entrance, making it difficult to reach shelter with your yacht charter in the Aegean Sea. The marina is located in the eastern basin. You will be led to a berth where a mooring will be laid. Except for northerly gales, you’ll enjoy really good protection.

On the pontoons, you’ll find both water and power, and a tiny tanker can bring you fuel. All necessities can be bought here, and there are several nice Greek tavernas in town.

This Venetian city was the capital of Crete for centuries, and much of its exquisite architecture has survived. Don’t skip a visit to Chania, especially if the weather’s on your side for arrival and departure.

Souda is located even further to the east than Chania. It’s the Greek navy’s southern base, and pleasure yachts have sometimes been refused passage to the are. If you’re let in, go bow or stern to on the southern quay. The shelter is excellent.

Water is available on the ferry mole, and fuel can be bought, too. All provisions are easy to get, and there is also a decent selection of Greek tavernas.

The military presence tends to put a damper on proceedings, so this Crete yacht charter destination is not a must-see, in my humble opinion.

georgioupoli yacht charter greece

Georgioupoli

Georgioupoli is a tiny port near the mouth of the Almiros river. Anchor beside the quay or in the bay to the north. Except for gusts f wind coming from the north and northeast, you’ll find adequate shelter.

There’s water in the hamlet, as well as most necessities, plus several Greek tavernas.

The village is picturesque and pleasant, so a visit’s worthwhile during your Crete yacht charter vacation.

Rethymno is an ancient Venetian port. Head to the northern jetty or go bow or stern to the eastern jetty. You’ll enjoy ample coverage even from the Meltemi, which is nestled behind the eastern jetty when it blows.

Water is available on the quay, and fuel can be provided. All provisions are available, and there are numerous fine Greek tavernas in the Venetian harbor, including several seafood restaurants.

This stop should be one of the Crete yacht charter trip highlights. The Venetian harbor and town are lovely, and the houses with wooden balconies are a reminder of Turkish domination.

heraklion yacht charter greece iraklion

Heraklion or Iraklion

Iraklion is the island capital of Crete. Proceed to the Venetian harbor, located at the western end of the main harbor. Go bow or stern to the south or north quay in the marina.

The quay has water access, and fuel is available on request. The shopping is good, and there’s fresh fish available on the waterfront. There are also numerous good Greek tavernas that serve fresh seafood. Try those near the local market!

To avoid the crowds, go early in the morning or late in the day to visit Knossos, one of the ancient sites of this Greek island. Don’t skip the museum with its collection of Minoan artifacts!

hersonissos mediterranean yacht charter

Hersonissos

Hersonissos is another tiny port town. It’s considered a recent tourist development, filled with rude tourists and terrible architecture.

If you stop here, go bow to the mole or anchor away. Because the depths vary around the harbor and the holding is weak on sand and rock, caution is advised. However, as the harbor is only exposed to the SE, there is an adequate cover from the strong northern winds.

Water, fuel, and groceries are all available in town.

spinalonga crete sailing the greek isles charter

Spinalonga Lagoon (or Elounda Lagoon) is located to the north of Kolpos Mirampelou (or Mirabello Bay). Yachts are free to anchor anywhere in the lagoon.

The majority of supplies can be bought in the nearby town of Elounda.

Go visit the uninhabited Spinalonga Island, near the entrance in the bay. The Venetian fort and the abandoned town are really interesting to explore.

agios nikolaos yacht charter crete

Agios Nikolaos

Agios Nikolaos is located in the southern part of the island (though not really on the southern coast). On the south side of the headland, there’s a marina. Yachts should use a laid mooring and go bow or stern to where advised.

The pontoons have both water and electricity, and you can supply your Crete charter boat with fuel. There are also various Greek tavernas and shops from where most necessities can be purchased.

Although the marina of Agios Nikolaos is some distance away from the busy area, this fishing hamlet is now a significant tourist development.

Pahia Ammos

Pahia Ammos is located on the southern end of Kolpos Mirampelou (or Mirabello Bay). Depths of up to 3 meters can be found at the mole’s end.

Unfortunately, the harbor is vulnerable to the Meltemi and the town has a limited supply of groceries, despite its many Greek tavernas.

Sitia is located even further east. Navigate to the inner northern mole and moor bow or stern-to the quay. The bottom is mostly sand and vegetation, with a few boulders thrown in for good measure. You’ll enjoy adequate protection from the Meltemi.

In the harbor, you’ll find both fuel and water. All necessities can be bought in town, and there are several excellent seafood restaurants.

The inner harbor is beautiful, with its tree-lined esplanade. Watching the sunset over the harbor while tucking into a great sea bass is the ideal way to conclude a day charter in Crete.

The northeastern extremity of Crete is Cape Sidero, with various anchorages in minor inlets. There are no amenities, yet the environment is impressive and barren.

Southern Crete yacht charter destinations

gramvousa 5 day yacht charter greece

Gramvousa Island is located off the shore of Crete. On the southeastern side of this small island, there’s a protected bay. Yachts can either anchor in the bay or go bow to the quay.

There are no amenities but water can be obtained from a well near the chapel.

Palaiochora

Palaiochora is located at the southwest tip of Crete. Go side, bow, or stern to the eastern side of the rocky outcropping in the new harbor. Alternatively, depending on the wind direction, drop anchor in any of the two bays to the east and west of the headland.

Water and fuel are available in Palaiochora, as are all sorts of groceries. Plus, the Greek tavernas in this area are excellent!

Akra Mouros

Anchorages may be found on both sides of Akra Mouros. Ormos Loutra to the east, where a boat may anchor, and Ormos Foinikias to the west. There are a few tavernas in the village, and just a few supplies are available.

Hora Skafion

Heading east from Akra Mouros, you’ll reach Hora Skafion. In calm weather, yachts can anchor off the lovely settlement. There are Greek tavernas ashore, and all provisions are available for shopping.

This once-small town is now a thriving tourist destination.

Agia Galini

Yachts can go side, bow or stern to the dock at Agia Galini, another freshly built tourist destination. There’s decent holding in the sandy bottom, as well as good protection from the Meltemi.

Water is available on the quay, and fuel is available in town. All provisions are available, and there are several nice Greek tavernas.

matala greek island sailing itineraries

Matala is a horseshoe-shaped bay on the western side of Ormos Mesaras. Stop here only if the weather is calm during your Southern Crete yacht charter vacation. And wait for the weather to change for the better if you have the time, because this is a great stop on your Greece yachting vacation.

Most provisions are available for shopping, and there are several decent Greek tavernas on shore.

Homer’s Odyssey mentions Matala. Menelaus’ ships were wrecked here on their way back from the Trojan wars. In Roman times, it was an important harbor.

By Paralia Matala, you will find the Matala Caves – Neolithic caves carved into sea cliffs.

Kaloi Limenes

Kaloi Limenes is a tiny harbor on the other side of Agiofaraggo Martsalo Kefali. Boats may anchor in the bay at a depth of three to six meters. There is considerable protection from the north and west, although the area’s exposed to the east and south.

There are a few Greek tavernas and limited options to shop for groceries in the village.

ierapetra crete yachting greece

Ierapetra is a medium-sized port. The town and harbor date back to Minoan times, but unfortunately, little of the antique architecture has survived.

Crete charters can go bow or stern to the north or west quays.

Water is available on the quay, as is gasoline from the town. All provisions are available for shopping, and there are several waterfront tavernas.

Kato Zakro or Zakros

Crete yacht charters can anchor in Kato Zakro’s vast sandy bay. There are a few tavernas on the beach, but the primary draw is the remnants of a Minoan palace at the bottom of the stunning valley.

Ormos Grandes

Ormos Grandes is a big bay on Akra Plaka’s north shore.

Crete yacht charters can take refuge from the Meltemi at Kouremenos, located to the north of the bay.

Vai is located 2 kilometers north of Kouremenos. Sailboats can moor by the sandy beach, and there are Greek tavernas on the beach.

Is food included in yacht charter Greece?

Food is not included. You can choose between eating on land at local Greek tavernas, shopping and cooking on your own, or hiring a cook to prepare the meals for you. Whatever you opt for, make sure you try to integrate the local cuisine into the menu.

Cretan cuisine

Cretan cuisine is comparable to that of the rest of the Aegean:

  • Tuna, swordfish, sea bass, urchins, octopus, squid, and cuttlefish all play important roles.
  • Beef, hog, lamb, and goat are all available. A specialty is rabbit stew.
  • Cheese pie and fried cheese are also popular ( staka ).
  • Try yogurt and honey tarts if you have a sweet tooth (kaltzounia).
  • Cretan wine is reasonably priced.

Find out more about traditional Greek food and drinks .

Where can I sail to from Crete?

You can continue sailing to other Greek Islands from the Aegean Sea (or taking a ferry to another island, then renting a boat there). The most accessible is to go sailing the Cyclades Islands .

Compliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email [email protected]

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.

Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

  • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
  • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
  • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
  • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
  • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
  • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Discover the island of Crete, nestled in the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea! This Greek paradise is world-famous, thanks to its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and sun-drenched Mediterranean climate. It is actually the largest island in Greece! Get ready to take an unforgettable journey to a destination that's as diverse as it is captivating.

One of the reasons Crete attracts countless visitors is its diverse range of experiences. Whether you're a history buff exploring ancient ruins, a sun-seeker lounging on stunning beaches, or an adventurer craving thrilling outdoor activities, Crete has it all. Not only that but the island is also surrounded by incredible destinations waiting to be explored. From the captivating Santorini with its iconic white-washed buildings to the charming coastal town of Chania, there's no shortage of nearby gems to discover.

Crete is famous for its unique cultural heritage. With a history dating back thousands of years, the island showcases remnants of Minoan civilization, impressive Venetian fortresses, and traditional Cretan villages that exude charm and authenticity. Indulge in mouthwatering local cuisine, savoring delicacies like dakos and souvlaki, or immerse yourself in the vibrant festivals that bring the island to life with music, dance, and celebration.

But what makes Crete truly exceptional for sailing enthusiasts is its pristine coastline and favorable weather conditions. As you sail around the island, you'll be greeted by turquoise waters, hidden coves, and secluded beaches accessible only by boat. The gentle sea breezes and calm waters make it a dream destination for sailors of all skill levels. And when you're ready to set sail and explore the wonders of Crete's coast, Nautal is here to help you find the perfect boat to make your journey unforgettable.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Crete?

The price of a boat charter in Crete will depend on the boat and the type of charter experience that you wish to create. The type of boat, season, number of guests, and more will affect the price of your boat rental.

In the low season, prices start at $200 per day and $1,100 per week. Prices will be higher during the high season, around $625 per day and $4,300 per week. Additionally, a luxury yacht charter or a boat with more amenities will come at a higher price.

There may be additional fees not included in the final rental price, such as fuel or skipper fees. Adding a skipper can cost around $180 per day. You can reach out to the boat owner directly through Nautal to ask about the price details.

When is the best time to go?

If you're seeking warm temperatures and sun-kissed days, the summer months of June to August are your go-to. During this peak season, the temperature range from 75°F to 90°F. It's the perfect time to lounge on the sandy shores, dive into turquoise waters, and indulge in refreshing dips whenever you please. However, do keep in mind that the summer months are popular among travelers, so expect larger crowds and higher accommodation rates.

For those who prefer milder weather and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and fall (September to October) are great choices. Temperatures during these months range from 60°F to 75°F, providing a comfortable climate for exploration and outdoor activities. The sailing season is from April to November, with gentle winds and calm waters that allow you to set sail and discover the hidden gems of Crete's coastline.

What places should I visit during my Crete boat rental?

Crete is the cradle of the Minoan civilization, whose heart and most important place in terms of archaeological wealth is Knossos. Make Heraklion   your main base and stroll through the city centre: the colours and aromas of the traditional market will intoxicate you from the first light! Then take a tour of the relics of the city's past and the island's culture: the Palace of Knossos , the Heraklion Fortress , and the archaeological museum are just the beginning. 

On the west of the island lies the charming town of Chania . Although it was partially destroyed by bombing during World War II, its beauty still attracts tourists every year. Especially the district of Splantzia , which preserves the ancient atmosphere and spirit of Crete's history to this day, cannot be neglected on your itinerary. You can leave in a boat from the port of Souda to the beautiful beach of Stavros or Réthymnon .

On the east of the island is the town of Agios Nikolaos , famous for its numerous beaches. In the city's centre is the curious Vulisméni Lake , known as "bottomless". The main marina is located to the south of the city, and from there, you can take a nice boat ride to the island of Agioi Pantes .

Where to sail with my boat rental in Crete?

Bay of Balos

This is one of the most beautiful places in Crete and Greece. This cove is called a Cretan paradise for a reason! White sand with a slightly pinkish tinge, unbelievable crystal blue sea... sounds incredible. Consider this bay a must-see on your itinerary because you can't miss it when you travel to Crete! The easiest way to reach it is by boat from the port of Kissamos . By renting a sailboat or catamaran, you can sail from east to west on a real cruise, enjoying the magnificent landscapes of Crete. 

Use your yacht charter in Crete to reach the island of Santorini , famous for its beautiful architecture and white houses with blue roofs. Who knows, maybe even Athens or the beautiful cities on the Turkish coast, such as Antalya , Bodrum , or Marmaris , will also catch your eye, and a trip there will not take more than a few days.

The combination of the three seas

If sailing is your true passion, and you dream of great vacations aboard and conquering life on the high seas and are dying to set sail, don't wait another minute and embark with Click&Boat on your coveted cruise through the various Mediterranean seas! 

Crete is surrounded by 3 seas (the Ionian Sea to the west, the Aegean Sea to the east and the Sea of Crete to the north of the island), and the Bay of Balos is where they merge. This is what makes Crete's nature surprisingly unusual. Many mountains, rocky coastlines, and long beaches.

VESSEL REVIEW | Sinichka – Electric commuter boats designed for Russia’s Moskva River

yachthub sailboat listings

A series of three new electric monohull commuter ferries have already begun operational sailings on the Moskva River in the Russian capital Moscow.

Built by Russian shipyard Emperium, sister vessels Sinichka , Filka , and Presnya – all named after rivers in Moscow – are being operated by the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development (Moscow Deptrans). They are the first units of a planned fleet of 20 vessels that will serve the capital city and other nearby communities. The new ferry system will be the water transport system to be operated on the Moskva River in 16 years.

Each vessel has a welded aluminium hull, an LOA of 21 metres, a beam of 6.2 metres, a draught of only 1.4 metres, a displacement of 40 tonnes, and capacity for 80 passengers plus two crewmembers. Seating is available for 42 passengers on each ferry, and the main cabins are also fitted with USB charging ports, wifi connectivity, tables, toilets, and space for bicycles and scooters. The cabin layout can be rearranged to allow the operator to adjust the distances between the seats and to install armrests of varying widths.

yachthub sailboat listings

An open upper deck is also accessible to passengers and is the only area on each ferry where smoking is allowed.

The ferries are all of modular construction with each ferry’s wheelhouse, main cabin, and other structural elements being built as complete, separate components. This enables the ferries to be easily dismantled for transport to anywhere in Russia by rail and then quickly re-assembled within seven days.

The ferries are also ice-capable. Recently completed operational trials on the Moskva showed that the vessels can also easily navigate under mild winter conditions with broken surface ice, though year-round operations are planned for the entire fleet.

The ferries are each fitted with 500kWh lithium iron phosphate battery packs that supply power to two 134kW motors. This configuration can deliver a maximum speed of 11.8 knots, a cruising speed of just under 10 knots, and a range of 150 kilometres.

Emperium said the transfer of rotation of electric motors to the propeller is carried out by direct drive. As a propulsion installation, a pulling rotary propeller-steering column with double screws is used. The installation of double pulling screws, with similar power, allows an operator to increase the efficiency of the propulsion system to deliver a slightly higher speed or to reduce energy consumption. This arrangement also provides the ferries with enhanced manoeuvrability necessary for navigating in close quarters.

The batteries themselves have projected service lives of 10 to 12 years and are fitted with safety features such as built-in fire extinguishers and gas vents. Quick-disconnect features allow the batteries to be easily removed for replacement or maintenance.

Some of our readers have expressed disquiet at our publication of reviews and articles describing new vessels from Russia. We at Baird Maritime can understand and sympathise with those views. However, despite the behaviour of the country’s leaders, we believe that the maritime world needs to learn of the latest developments in vessel design and construction there.

Most Beautiful Metro Stations in Moscow

Most Beautiful Metro Stations in Moscow

Visiting Moscow? Get yourself a metro card and explore Moscow’s beautiful metro stations. Moscow’s world-famous metro system is efficient and a great way to get from A to B. But there is more to it; Soviet mosaic decorations, exuberant halls with chandeliers, colourful paintings and immense statues. Moscow’s metro is an attraction itself, so take half a day and dive into Moscow’s underground!

The best thing to do is to get on the brown circle (number 5) line since the most beautiful metro stations are situated on this line. The only exception is the metro stop Mayakovskaya one the green line (number 2). My suggestion is to get a map, mark these metro stops on there and hop on the metro. It helps to get an English > Russian map to better understand the names of the stops. At some of the metro stops, the microphone voice speaks Russian and English so it’s not difficult at all.

Another thing we found out, is that it’s worth taking the escalator and explore the other corridors to discover how beautiful the full station is.

Quick hotel suggestion for Moscow is the amazing Brick Design Hotel .

These are my favourite metro stations in Moscow, in order of my personal preference:

1. Mayakovskaya Station

The metro station of Mayakovskaya looks like a ballroom! Wide arches, huge domes with lamps and mosaic works make your exit of the metro overwhelming. Look up and you will see the many colourful mosaics with typical Soviet pictures. Mayakovskaya is my personal favourite and is the only stop not on the brown line but on the green line.

yachthub sailboat listings

2. Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya metro station is famous for its yellow ceiling. An average museum is nothing compared to this stop. Splendour all over the place, black and gold, mosaic – again – and enormous chandeliers that made my lamp at home look like a toy.

yachthub sailboat listings

3. Novoslobodskaya Station

The pillars in the main hall of Novoslobodskaya metro station have the most colourful stained glass decorations. The golden arches and the golden mosaic with a naked lady holding a baby in front of the Soviet hammer and sickle, make the drama complete.

yachthub sailboat listings

4. Prospect Mira Station

The beautiful chandeliers and the lines in the ceiling, make Prospekt Mira an architectural masterpiece.

yachthub sailboat listings

5. Belorusskaya Station

Prestigious arches, octagonal shapes of Socialistic Soviet Republic mosaics. The eyecatcher of Belorusskaya metro station, however, is the enormous statue of three men with long coats, holding guns and a flag.

yachthub sailboat listings

6. Kiyevskaya Station

The metro station of Kiyevskaya is a bit more romantic than Belorusskaya and Prospect Mira. Beautiful paintings with classical decorations.

yachthub sailboat listings

7. Taganskaya Station

At the main hall Taganskaya metro station you will find triangle light blue and white decorations that are an ode to various Russians that – I assume – are important for Russian history and victory. There is no need to explore others halls of Taganskaya, this is it.

yachthub sailboat listings

8. Paveletskaya Station

Another and most definitely the less beautiful outrageous huge golden mosaic covers one of the walls of Paveletskaya. I would recommend taking the escalator to the exit upstairs to admire the turquoise dome and a painting of the St Basil’s Cathedral in a wooden frame.

Travelling with Moscow’s metro is inexpensive. You can have a lot of joy for just a few Rubbles.

  • 1 single journey: RMB 50 – € 0,70
  • 1 day ticket: RMB 210 – € 2,95

It’s absolutely beautiful! Moscow is a great city trip destination and really surprised me in many ways.

' src=

My partner and I did a self guided Moscow Metro tour when we were there 2 years ago. So many breathtaking platforms…I highly recommend it! Most of my favorites were along the Brown 5 line, as well. I also loved Mayakovskaya, Arbatskaya, Aleksandrovski Sad and Ploshchad Revolyutsii. We’re heading back in a few weeks and plan to do Metro Tour-Part 2. We hope to see the #5 stations we missed before, as well as explore some of the Dark Blue #3 (Park Pobedy and Slavyansky Bul’var, for sure), Yellow #8 and Olive #10 platforms.

That’s exciting Julia! Curious to see your Metro Tour-Part 2 experience and the stations you discovered.

With its new pact with North Korea, Russia raises the stakes with the West over Ukraine

Associated Press

Behind the smiles, the balloons and the red-carpet pageantry of President Vladimir Putin's visit to North Korea last week, a strong signal came through: In the spiraling confrontation with the U.S. and its allies over Ukraine, the Russian leader is willing to challenge Western interests like never before.

The pact that he signed with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un envisions mutual military assistance between Moscow and Pyongyang if either is attacked. Putin also announced for the first time that Russia could provide weapons to the isolated country, a move that could destabilize the Korean Peninsula and reverberate far beyond.

Recommended Videos

He described the potential arms shipments as a response to NATO allies providing Ukraine with longer-range weapons to attack Russia. He bluntly declared that Moscow has nothing to lose and is prepared to go “to the end” to achieve its goals in Ukraine.

Putin's moves added to concerns in Washington and Seoul about what they see as an alliance in which North Korea provides Moscow with badly needed munitions for its war in Ukraine in exchange for economic assistance and technology transfers that would enhance the threat posed by Kim’s nuclear weapons and missile program.

A landmark pact

The new agreement with Pyongyang marked the strongest link between Moscow and Pyongyang since the end of the Cold War.

Kim said it raised bilateral relations to the level of an alliance, while Putin was more cautious, noting the pledge of mutual military assistance mirrored a 1961 treaty between the Soviet Union and North Korea. That agreement was discarded after the Soviet collapse and replaced with a weaker onel in 2000 when Putin first visited Pyongyang.

Stephen Sestanovich, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations noted that when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev signed the deal with Pyongyang in 1961, he also tested the world's biggest nuclear bomb, built the Berlin Wall and probably started thinking about moves that led to the Cuban missile crisis in 1962.

“The question for Western policymakers now is whether Putin is becoming comparably reckless,” Sestanovich said in a commentary. “His language in North Korea -- where he denounced the United States as a ‘worldwide neocolonialist dictatorship’ — might make you think so.”

South Korea responded by declaring it would consider sending arms to Ukraine in a major policy change for Seoul, which so far only has sent humanitarian assistance to Kyiv under a longstanding policy of not supplying weapons to countries engaged in conflict.

Putin insisted Seoul has nothing to worry about, since the new pact only envisions military assistance in case of aggression and should act as a deterrent to prevent a conflict. He strongly warned South Korea against providing lethal weapons to Ukraine, saying it would be a “very big mistake.”

“If that happens, then we will also make corresponding decisions that will hardly please the current leadership of South Korea,” he said.

Asked whether North Korean troops could fight alongside Russian forces in Ukraine under the pact, Putin said there was no need for that.

Potential weapons for Pyongyang

Last month, Putin warned that Russia could provide long-range weapons to others to hit Western targets in response to NATO allies allowing Ukraine to use its allies' arms to make limited attacks inside Russian territory.

He followed up on that warning Thursday with an explicit threat to provide weapons to North Korea.

“I wouldn’t exclude that in view of our agreements with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea,” Putin said, adding that Moscow could mirror the arguments by NATO allies that it’s up to Ukraine to decide how to use Western weapons.

“We can similarly say that we supply something to somebody but have no control over what happens afterward,” Putin said. “Let them think about it.”

Sue Mi Terry, senior fellow for Korea studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, warned that Moscow could share weapons technologies with Pyongyang to help improve its ballistic missile capabilities, noting there is evidence of this happening already, with Russia possibly providing help to North Korea with its successful satellite launch in November, two months after Kim last met Putin.

“This is deeply concerning because of the substantial overlap between the technologies used for space launches and intercontinental ballistic missiles,” Terry said in a commentary. “Russia can also provide North Korea with critical help in areas where its capabilities are still nascent, such as submarine-launched ballistic missiles.”

While raising the prospect of arms supplies to Pyongyang that would violate U.N. sanctions, Putin also said Russia would take efforts at the world body to ease the restrictions — an apparent signal that Moscow may try to keep arms supplies to Pyongyang under the radar and maintain a degree of deniability to avoid accusations of breaching the sanctions.

Russia and North Korea have rejected assertions by the U.S. and its allies that Pyongyang has given Moscow ballistic missiles and millions of artillery shells for use in Ukraine.

Going ‘to the end’ in a confrontation with the West

By explicitly linking prospective arms shipments to Pyongyang to Western moves on Ukraine, Putin warned Kyiv's allies to back off as he pushes his goals in the war — or face a new round of confrontation.

“They are escalating the situation, apparently expecting that we will get scared at some point, and at the same time, they say that they want to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia on the battlefield,” Putin said. “For Russia, it will mean an end to its statehood, an end to the millennium-long history of the Russian state. And a question arises: Why should we be afraid? Isn’t it better, then, to go to the end?”

Alexander Gabuev, director of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center in Berlin, said Putin’s statement reflected an attempt to discourage the U.S. and its allies from ramping up support for Kyiv as Russia pushes new offensives in several sectors of the front line.

“The situation is becoming increasingly dangerous, and Russia believes that it should quickly rap the West over its knuckles to show that its deeper engagement in the war will have a price,” he said in remarks carried by Dozhd, an independent Russian broadcaster.

He noted that Putin’s statement that Moscow wouldn’t know where its arms end up if sent to Pyongyang could have been a hint at North Korea’s role as an arms exporter.

Treading cautiously with China

Putin’s visits to North Korea handed a new challenge to Pyongyang’s top ally, China, potentially allowing Kim to hedge his bets and reduce his excessive reliance on Beijing.

China so far has avoided comment on the new pact, but many experts argue that Beijing won't like losing sway over its neighbor.

Ever since Putin invaded Ukraine, Russia has come to increasingly depend on China as the main market for its energy exports and the source of high-tech technologies in the face of Western sanctions. While forging a revamped relationship with Pyongyang, the Kremlin will likely tread cautiously to avoid angering Beijing.

“Whether this upgraded Russia–North Korea relationship will be without limits depends upon China,” which will watch events closely, said Edward Howell of Chatham House in a commentary. “Beijing will have taken stern note of Kim Jong Un’s claim that Russia is North Korea’s ‘most honest friend.’ Despite the likely increase in cooperation in advanced military technology between Moscow and Pyongyang, China remains North Korea’s largest economic partner.”

How to Charter a Boat

If you want to sail off into the sunset, at least temporarily, you need to understand how to get aboard first.

By Lauren Sloss

This time of year, it’s an inevitable thought: Life would be that much better out on the water. Specifically, on a boat.

Even if you have neither a boat nor boating experience, it’s never been easier to make your nautical dreams come true — whether you want a day trip on your local lake or a fully staffed multiday voyage in a far-flung locale. Here are the initial questions that will help you plan an adventure on the water.

Whom are you traveling with?

Thinking about the size and dynamic of your group is an important first step, even if you are simply going on a day trip. Will children be on board? How old? What about elderly parents?

Dan Lockyer, the chief commercial officer of Dream Yacht Worldwide , strongly encourages travelers to determine group size — and, ideally, get people committed — before booking.

“The location that you want to go to, the time of year that you want to go, the type of boat that you want will entirely depend on the makeup of the group that you’re sailing with,” Mr. Lockyer said.

Do you want to captain, or do you want a captain?

Different charter companies specialize in certain locations, types of boats, itineraries and services. Some companies offer the opportunity for a “bareboat” charter, in which you rent the boat and take on the navigation and provisioning yourself, while others exclusively offer fully staffed options, including a captain and a cook.

If you want to captain the boat yourself, almost all outfits require some kind of proof of sailing or boating experience, often in line with local regulations.

Edward King, 45, an executive at a streaming company based in San Francisco, is experienced in sailing the city’s waterways. But on vacation, he said he would prefer to let a captain and crew take the lead.

Mr. King said he appreciates a captain who is familiar with both the local waters — “they’ll know how to avoid sailing into a certain sandbar,” he said, — as well as the local attractions.

In contrast, Matt Blake, 38, a software engineer based in Oakland, Calif., was eager to grow his sailing experience during a recent trip to La Paz, Mexico, with his fiancée. He hired a captain but made clear that the captain was there to help and teach.

Where do you want to go?

“Do you want something that’s more culturally oriented? Nature oriented? An adventure trip?” asked Mary Curry, the voyage product director of Adventure Life , which offers small group tours and private trips on land and on water around the world.

That answer can determine your destination. Popular cruising grounds include the Caribbean, Croatia, Alaska and French Polynesia, but the sky — or the sea — is really the limit. For help narrowing your focus, travel advisers often have relationships with charter companies or outfits around the world, and sailing publications offer recommendations.

Kyla Malkani, who has had experience with charters working as a destination wedding planner, recommends consulting the concierge of waterfront hotels, particularly for short-term or day rentals.

“A lot of times they will have either their own fleet or they will have some sort of connection at a dock,” said Ms. Malkani, 37, who is based in Washington, D.C., and is currently working as a content creator and freelance event planner.

What kind of boat?

Where you want to travel and for how long will likely determine the kinds of boats that are available to you. Crucial at this point, too, is an understanding of the boat’s layout and amenities.

“You definitely want to choose the right kind of boat,” said Ms. Malkani. “If you want more adventure, a sailboat is nice. If you’re looking for a luxury party environment, a yacht is best. And if you’re looking for something smooth, for older people or with kids, a catamaran is great.”

David Barclay is a luxury travel adviser who has also chartered boats for his own vacations.

“You want to match what the travelers want to what the boat offers,” he said.

Perhaps a group of friends might not mind a catamaran with functional but not luxurious marine bathrooms, but a multigenerational group might prefer more high-touch amenities.

When should I book?

Often, charter trips are once-in-a-lifetime experiences that require a great deal of advanced planning.

“You may have a specific place you want to go, or a specific time of year you want to travel,” said Mr. Barclay. “And some places just aren’t good at certain times of year.”

Naturally, you don’t want to be at sea in the Caribbean during hurricane season, or in the Mediterranean during winter storms. But you also might want to avoid peak cruising seasons, too.

The first three weeks of August are quite popular, said Mr. Lockyer. “If you have some flexibility and can travel in early July, you’ll get the same sort of great weather, a greater selection of boats and the anchorages won’t be as crowded.”

How much does it cost?

Charter costs are incredibly variable, dependent on all of the factors coming into play: your boat type and size, your destination, your group size, the amount of crew you’d like and the amenities on board. That said, costs could range anywhere from $2,000 for a day on a sailboat to hundreds of thousands of dollars for a multiday mega-yacht charter. Have a budget in mind when beginning your research process.

What if I didn’t plan far in advance?

While advanced planning is encouraged, and often necessary for bigger boat trips, it’s possible to book a boat last-minute.

Boatsetter , an Airbnb-like platform for boats, is a good resource for last-minute bookings, especially for day trips, and even has an Instant Book option for down-to-the-wire bookings.

“If it’s for a special event, or around major holidays, you may want to book a month or two in advance. But for general bookings, you can find options within a week or two,” said Kim Koditek, Boatsetter’s head of brand strategy and communications, of the company’s overnight offerings, which appear on their platform under the luxury yacht charters category .

Ms. Malkani has used Boatsetter for some of her charters, most of which have been booked with a specific goal in mind.

“I’m a sunset chaser,” she said. “My husband and I just really love being on the water, and we always try to squeeze in some sort of boat day activity when we’re traveling.”
