What Size of the Sailing Yacht to Choose?

In choosing the right charter yacht you need to be guided by your preferences and several other factors. You will have to decide upon the number of cabins or berths needed and whether you require a skipper or full crew. You also should take into the consideration the sailing capabilities of you and your crew when choosing a charter yacht. The longer the yacht, the harder it is to maneuver it. There is also the matter of your budget. Note that a longer yacht has larger maximum speed, which allows you to travel greater distances. However, the bigger the yacht, the more it will cost. A 50 foot charter yacht is just 1.4 times longer than a 35 foot yacht but it is often twice as more expensive to charter than a 35 footer.
