Considering taking a yacht charter vacation for your next couples retreat? A yacht charter for couples is an amazing option to refresh and reconnect – whether you’re going as a twosome, or as a group of couples. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions we receive, specific to chartering as a couple. And if there’s anything we missed that you’d still like to know, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our yacht consultant, Liza, directly – she’s always happy to help!

FAQs + Answers regarding taking a yacht charter as a couple:

Are there crewed yachts that can accommodate only two people.

There sure are! While we have many large yachts in our fleet that are geared towards families and groups, we also have smaller yachts that are the perfect set-up for a couple to enjoy on their own. Check out the yacht BelieveN.  Also, keep in mind that any yacht can be tailored to a trip for two. So if you see a larger boat in our fleet that you’d love to experience, go for it. There’s no minimum when it comes to guests.

Will it be awkward to be just two of us with the crew?

Not at all. Our crews are often couples themselves, and are hospitality professionals at heart. They are well-trained and naturally intuitive to give you as much or as little space as you like. We hire incredibly interesting, unique people to crew our yachts to ensure our guests have an amazing time with those they’re spending time with on their vacation. In fact, most of our guests end up keeping in touch with their crew for years to come as friends.

Can we use our yacht charter as an opportunity to learn something together as a couple?

Absolutely! Our crews are multi-talented and possess a variety of certifications and specialties. Let your yacht consultant know at the time of booking what it is you’re hoping to learn – scuba diving, paddle boarding, lobster catching + cooking, etc. – and we will do our best to match you with the crew + yacht to help you do so.

How can we celebrate a special occasion onboard?

Let us know in advance what it is you’re celebrating – engagement, anniversary, or other major milestone – and we will prepare a plan with you to make this a memorable holiday at sea.

Taking a luxury yacht charter is the ultimate escape for two. Start planing your trip with our yacht consultant today.

8 romantic yacht charter destinations for couples 27 January 2023

romantic yacht charter valentines day Yacht charter yacht charter destinations

With Valentines Day fast approaching, we got our heads together to bring you some of our favourite yacht charter destinations for couples from our days as yachties.

Although many of you probably have your romantic charters or boss trips sorted for this year, here are some great ideas for next season or even other times of year when the weather is best in other locations.

Best yacht charter destinations for Valentines Day

The Caribbean season is still very much in full swing in February – sunny and warm but not too humid or extreme heat, making it an ideal location for a romantic getaway.

With a beautiful constellation of 700 islands and cays to explore, couples will be spoilt for choice on where to soak up the sun, sea and sand.

Pink Sand Beach on Harbour Island is a favourite, but if guests are feeling more adventurous then they could do snorkelling or swim alongside the wild pigs.

Chillier evenings make for a cosy night on deck stargazing too.  

The cyan-blue waters and underwater paradise of the Maldives is famed for being one of the most luxurious yacht charter destinations in the world and is best visited before the monsoon season hits around April.

It’s popular with divers and snorkelers and on shore, there’s plenty to do if you want to escape the privacy of the cabin without feeling overwhelmed by tourists.

Enjoy candlelit dinners under a canopy of stars in one of the many intimate restaurants or take the loved-up pair to the private island of Velaa, which welcomes superyacht-guests with open arms.

A shoreside spa at one of the exclusive resorts is an excellent idea for a day trip too.

Leeward Islands

Encompassing islands including Antigua and St Barts, the collection of Leeward Islands are A-list approved and many exclusive beach clubs cater completely to wealthy superyacht guests.

Being in the direct path of hurricanes, the area is best avoided between July and November but is glorious at this time of year.

The string of islands offer footprint-free tropical beaches and splendid sunsets that can be seen close up or with a helicopter tour over the stunning landscape.

You could also arrange for your guests to gaze into each other’s eyes from the Shirley Heights Lookout about 500ft above sea level in Antigua or swim naked at Saline beach in St Barts – popular with nudists!

Greek Islands

Although you won’t experience the warmest weather at this time of year, February is when you’ll feel like you have the Greek islands all to yourself.

Santorini is particularly mild and one of the driest islands in the collection. It’s great for wine lovers and the charming clifftop villages and pastel-coloured coastline is enchanting.

The excellent nightlife experienced on islands like Mykonos will feel more subdued at this time of year, but if you have younger couple guests looking for a party vibe, they can pair it perfectly with some culture as February is carnival time – where locals celebrate Lent.

Not far from the shoreline, there are plenty of spots to soak up the ancient history of Greece too, making for an activity-filled excursion.

Why not offer your guests a different type of yacht charter destination for Valentines Day? Swap the sun, sea and sand for the ice-cold snow caps of Antarctica.

Perfect for explorer yachts, a wildlife-watching voyage giving guests a glimpse of mostly untouched and unique scenery like no other place in the world.

As one of the most breath-taking locations, it’s sure to blow the mind of anyone, particularly when they have the ultimate luxury of a superyacht to shelter from the elements in.

Romantic yacht spots for other times of the year

Superyacht couples will definitely want to avoid the northwest trade winds between November and March, but if one wants to surprise the other with a pre-planned romantic trip to the Seychelles, then late Spring or early Winter is a good time.

Offering pure luxury, privacy and relaxation, this Indian Ocean yacht charter destination also has a wildly exciting jungle to explore too.

Home to the natural jewels of the rare black pearl, a trip to this region could be made even more memorable with a bespoke, sparkly and very expensive gift.  

French Polynesia

This far-flung pacific paradise is probably best visited between June and September when it’s warm and dry but not painfully hot. If you go in February, you might get a bit wet.

Unspoiled and tropical, French Polynesia provides the perfect backdrop for any romantic getaway. And with over 100 often deserted islands to hop between, guests can escape any company if they wish.

Lagoons and waterfalls, coral reefs and coconut palms make it truly idyllic and a visit to the flower-shaped island, Taha’a should definitely make the agenda.

Amalfi coast

With an average temperature of 13 degrees in February, it’s probably warm and dry enough to enjoy some outdoor activity, but the Amalfi coast is best visited in May or September – this is when it’s warm but not too crowded.

The stunning coastline of West Italy is charming, dotted with picturesque fishing villages and elegant ports such as Naples and Positano.

Couple guests can choose to relax in secluded coves or take in the sea air along some beautiful mountain hiking routes. Steeped in culture and offering authentic cuisine, you should make sure a trip to Capri’s arch of love, known as The Faraglioni di Mezzo, is on the list.

How To Pick The Best Sailing Vacation Package For A Couple

F inding the right yacht charter is tough. There are tons of options and the information is often very scattered.

Finding the perfect romantic getaway is even harder, when it comes to adventurous experiences like private sailing charters.

Here are 5 things you need to look for to make the best decision for you and your partner.

(Alternatively, you can always chat with us directly and we’ll be more than happy to help you for free.)

When the goal is to live the sailing experience as a romantic getaway for a couple that needs time together, a private sailing charter becomes an investment.

You certainly don’t want to feel like you’re in a cheap crowded cruise where promiscuity with other people gets irritating.

Therefore, quality is defined by the level of intimacy, the sharing of magic moments, the private sharing of gastronomic meals, as well as the personalized delicate attention from a caring crew.

The quietness offered on a private sailing getaway gives you various opportunities such as relaxing and reading a book while lying on a comfortable chair on top of the sail boat when anchored, taking sailing lessons with the captain, or simply enjoying the indescribable blue color of the Caribbean Sea.

2. Destination

A luxury yacht sailing charter in the Caribbeans is first and foremost paradise on Earth…and on water!  Make sure you validate that your dream sailing destination in the Caribbeans will be available and that the high/low seasons are considered.

Spending a week on a sailboat with only a captain and a chef means you ideally want to know that they are professionals with experience, but also that there’s a personality fit.

A romance cruise means that you want privacy, and therefore you want a crew that will be available when you need them, and as discreet as possible the rest of the time.

A professional crew knows that the romantic charter adventure you intend to embark does not start only when your plane lands at the airport.

It must be carefully planned long in advance in order to make the experience a positively memorable one. So, verbal and written communications are required to come to a great customized romantic sailing cruise in the gorgeous Caribbeans Sea.

4. Activities

The whole purpose of your private sailing adventure is to spend quality time with your loved one, making sure there are interesting activities and sightseeing spots.

So, a great thing to do is for each partner to make a list of activities they would like to do during their romantic sailing getaway.

Send the list to the captain previous to arriving on the sailboat and if the chosen activities are available, he will be more than happy to make some of the choices on your bucket list a reality.

Sharing activities and various interests with your partner brings closeness, the sharing of thoughts, and all the good things couples enjoy feeling together.

Most charter companies sneak in extra fees or service fees at the end of your trip. Romance Charters is proud to be transparent and provides a quotation without any bitter surprises.

To guide you in this process, here are some key factors to consider when making your choice.

Size and Layout

The size and layout of the yacht significantly impact the level of comfort and overall experience. Opt for a vessel that offers spacious suites and socialising areas designed for relaxation and intimacy. Key considerations include:

• Master Suite: A luxurious master suite with unique features such as a private balcony, or panoramic views no doubt enhances the romantic ambiance.
• Socialising Areas: Ensure there are ample areas for relaxation both inside and out such as a large salon, outdoor dining spaces, and sun decks for lounging.
• Privacy: Look for yachts with layouts that provide privacy and separation between guest areas and crew quarters, allowing you and your partner uninterrupted time together.

Certain onboard amenities can elevate your experience, making your yacht charter extra special. When choosing a yacht, consider the following features:

• Hot Tub: An on-deck hot tub is perfect for relaxing under the stars with a glass of champagne.
• Private Cinema: An onboard cinema offers cosy movie nights with your favourite films. Some yachts even offer a spectacular experience with outdoor cinemas for a truly special evening.
• Wellness Facilities: Many yachts feature dedicated wellness facilities such as massage rooms, steam rooms, saunas, hammams, or even a fully equipped wellness centre with a gym, personal trainers, and masseurs.
• Water Toys: Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkelling gear, and jet skis provide opportunities for fun and adventure on the water. Make sure to mention your favourite water toys to your Charter Consultant and they will ensure your shortlist includes yachts with all the toys you require.

Crew and Services

A professional and attentive crew can make all the difference in your yacht charter experience. Look for yachts that offer:

• Quality Chef: A well-equipped kitchen and experienced chef ensures dining on board is a joy. With state-of-the-art equipment and ample galley space, your chef can prepare exquisite meals tailored to you.
• Butler Service: A dedicated butler to attend to your every need, from serving meals to organising activities.
• Experienced Captain: A Captain who knows the best romantic spots and can provide insightful local knowledge, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable journey.
• Dive Instructors: For those interested in exploring the underwater world, some yachts include crew members who are certified dive instructors, offering personalised diving experiences directly from your yacht.

Choosing Your Perfect Destination

Selecting the perfect destination for your yacht charter is crucial to creating a romantic and unforgettable experience. Here are some idyllic locations that promise enchanting scenery, secluded anchorages, and memorable adventures.

The Mediterranean

The Mediterranean is synonymous with romance. Its glittering waters, picturesque coastal towns, and rich cultural heritage provide the perfect backdrop for your romantic escape. Popular destinations include:

The Caribbean

For those seeking tropical paradise, the Caribbean offers a plethora of secluded beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant marine life. Ideal destinations include:

• The Bahamas: The Bahamas are renowned for their pristine beaches, welcoming locals, and vibrant culture. Anchor in secluded cays and explore the stunning underwater world with your partner.

• St. Lucia: With its lush rainforests, dramatic Piton mountains, and luxurious resorts, St. Lucia is a haven for romance. Hike to the top of Gros Piton, relax in volcanic mud baths, and dine at world-class restaurants.

South Pacific

For something off the beaten path, the South Pacific offers some of the most remote and exotic locations for a romantic yacht charter like no other. Consider these stunning destinations:

• French Polynesia: Tahiti, Bora Bora, and Moorea are iconic destinations known for their overwater bungalows, vibrant coral reefs, and stunning lagoons. Enjoy private beach picnics, snorkelling with rays, jungle exploration, and sunset cruises.

• Whitsunday Islands, Australia: Located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef , the Whitsundays offer pristine beaches, clear blue waters, and incredible snorkelling and diving opportunities. Visit Whitehaven Beach and sail through the picturesque Coral Sea.

Plan Your Dream Itinerary

Working closely with your Charter Consultant to design an itinerary that reflects your interests and desires is key to ensuring your romantic yacht charter strikes a perfect balance of romance, adventure, and relaxation.

Balance Activities and Relaxation

• Adventure: Incorporate activities that you and your partner enjoy, such as snorkelling in vibrant coral reefs, private helicopter tours over dramatic landscapes, attending luxury events , or exploring the local markets in quaint Mediterranean towns. The options are endless.
• Relaxation: Ensure there is ample time for relaxation, whether lounging on deck with a view of the Amalfi Coast, enjoying spa treatments in your yacht’s wellness centre, or soaking in the hot tub with a glass of champagne, the privacy afforded when travelling by private yacht allows for unperturbed luxury and relaxation unlike any other vacation.

Culinary Delights

• Dining: Work with your Charter Consultant to create a customised menu featuring your favourite dishes and local specialties. Consider themed dinners, such as a candlelit Italian feast, a fresh seafood barbecue in the Caribbean, or a traditional Fijian lovo dinner.
• Local Cuisine: Explore the local culinary scene by visiting renowned restaurants and markets. Your Charter Consultant can recommend lesser-known gems and glamorous restaurants alike, no matter the destination, and will make reservations to ensure you have the perfect table-for-two.

Special Celebrations

Celebrate in style by planning memorable events during your yacht charter. Here are some ideas to make anniversaries, engagements, or other special occasions truly unforgettable:

• Anniversary Dinner: Arrange a candlelit dinner on the deck with a menu specially curated by your private chef. Include your favourite dishes, a selection of fine wines, and a decadent dessert. Enhance the evening with live music, such as a violinist or saxophonist, to serenade you during your meal.
• Engagement Celebration: If you’re planning a proposal, work with your crew to create a magical setting. Consider proposing at sunset with a bottle of champagne, followed by a romantic dinner. Why not celebrate your engagement with a private fireworks display or a sky lantern release?
• Milestone Events: Whether it’s a birthday, a special achievement, or simply celebrating your love, mark the occasion with a unique experience. Surprise your partner with a themed party on board, complete with decorations, entertainment, and a themed menu. Or perhaps a hot air balloon ride over scenic landscapes, a private wine tour in a renowned vineyard, or a day trip to a private island for unmatched seclusion. Work with your Charter Consultant to organise these unique experiences effortlessly.

Luxury Yacht Vacations for Couples

Picture yourself on a luxury yacht, the ocean gently swaying beneath you, sails softly rustling in the breeze, and the sun’s warmth kissing your skin. You’re about to embark on a romantic adventure, leaving the everyday behind for an unforgettable journey. This article explores the enchanting world of luxury yacht charters, where you and your loved one can discover some of the world’s most stunning destinations. From secluded islands to vibrant coastal towns, luxury yacht charters offer couples an ideal mix of intimacy, luxury, and adventure, creating a romantic escape unlike any other.

The Allure of Luxury Yacht Charters

Imagine this: you and your partner, finally escaping the daily grind for a seaside escape. No more work calls, no more deadlines, just pure relaxation and reconnection. Picture yourselves by the ocean, the worries melting away like grains of sand between your toes. This is the magic of a sea vacation – a chance to focus on each other, share meaningful conversations, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

But some vacations take things a whole step further. Luxury yacht charters are the ultimate indulgence, surrounding you with breathtaking beauty and unparalleled service. Imagine waking up to endless blue horizons stretching out before you. Picture gourmet meals prepared by your own private chef, followed by blissful relaxation in a luxurious cabin. Forget lifting a finger; a dedicated crew takes care of everything, from navigating the crystal-clear waters to crafting personalised experiences just for you. It’s a level of pampering and sophistication that simply can’t be replicated on a traditional vacation.

Now, let’s talk about adult-oriented yachts. These charters are designed for couples or groups seeking a more sensual or adventurous experience. We’re talking private cabins that might have a touch of “wow” factor, like mirrored ceilings or jacuzzis. There could even be adult entertainment options on board. But here’s the key: it’s important to do your research! Not all adult-oriented charters are created equal. Make sure the specific offerings and policies align with what you and your partner are comfortable with – after all, this is supposed to be the ultimate escape for the two of you.

Destinations

The beauty of a yacht charter is the variety! From cruising the crystal-clear Caribbean, hopping between picture-perfect islands in the Mediterranean, down to venturing off the beaten path to discover hidden atolls in the South Pacific. There’s a dream escape waiting for every couple, no matter your taste.

And the best part? Many yacht charters let you create your own adventure. Think snorkelling vibrant coral reefs, scuba diving shipwrecks, or zipping across the waves on a jet ski. Maybe exploring ancient ruins or bustling local markets piques your interest. The options are endless, allowing you to craft a completely personalised itinerary that caters to your desires and interests as a couple.

• The Caribbean

The Caribbean unfurls like a turquoise dream, its islands adorned with pearl-white sand and secret coves whispering promises of stolen kisses. Explore the Bahamas , where vibrant coral reefs kaleidoscope beneath the surface, fresh seafood graces your plate, and sunset cocktails ignite the sky as you clink glasses on deck.

• The Mediterranean

From the glamorous French Riviera to the historic Greek Islands, the Mediterranean offers endless opportunities for romance and adventure. You can cruise along the coast of Italy, explore the charming seaside villages and sample delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Feel free to also discover the hidden gems of Croatia, where you can swim in crystal-clear waters and stroll through ancient walled cities.

• The South Pacific

If you’re a couple seeking a more exotic escape, the South Pacific offers breathtaking landscapes and unparalleled beauty. Sail among the idyllic islands of French Polynesia, where you can swim with manta rays, hike to hidden waterfalls, and indulge in Polynesian-inspired spa treatments onboard your yacht. Alternatively, explore the pristine waters of Fiji, where you can dive with colourful marine life and enjoy traditional Fijian hospitality.

• The Seychelles

Nestled in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles is a paradise for couples seeking seclusion and romance. Personally, this one’s my choice. Explore the granite islands of Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue, where you can snorkel in pristine marine reserves, lounge on secluded beaches, and dine on Creole-inspired cuisine under the stars. Super romantic!

• The Whitsunday Islands, Australia

Located off the coast of Queensland, the Whitsunday Islands boast some of the most spectacular scenery in Australia . Cruise through the azure waters of the Great Barrier Reef, where you can snorkel with endless school of fish and explore secluded beaches accessible only by boat and by swimming. End your day with a romantic beachside barbecue and watch the sunset over the Coral Sea.

Romantic Experiences Onboard

Forget fancy hotels, luxury yacht charters are all about romance for couples. Imagine chilling on deck all day, soaking up the sun and smooching in between. As the day ends, clink champagne flutes and watch the sky turn into a crazy beautiful pink and orange mess.

Want to pamper yourselves? Get couples massages and spa treatments right on the yacht! Feeling more active? Kayaking, paddleboarding, or jet skiing are all on the table. Or, just jump in the crystal-clear water for a refreshing swim together.

Honeymoon, anniversary, or just because, a yacht charter is the perfect place for love to bloom. Listen to the calming waves lapping against the boat, feel the cool sea breeze, and stare out at the endless ocean – it’s pure relaxation heaven. This is your chance to de-stress, recharge, and make your relationship even stronger.

Practical Considerations and Tips

Hold on a sec before you set sail on your luxury yacht adventure. Here’s some stuff to think about to make sure it’s smooth sailing (literally!). First, find a charter company with a good reputation for safety and happy customers. Think about the size of the yacht, the kind of stuff they have on board, and how experienced the crew is. Also, chat with the company beforehand about any allergies you have, the things you want to do, and if there’s a special occasion you’re celebrating. Don’t forget to pack sunscreen, swimsuits, and light clothes for the warm weather!

I strongly advise booking through a qualified  yacht charter broker  at least three months in advance. By doing so, you will increase the likelihood of securing your preferred dates and you will have a greater selection of yachts on offer to choose from. This also ensures your yacht broker has enough time to craft a personalised itinerary and secure an overnight berth in the most popular marinas.

Luxury yacht charters are basically the ultimate romantic getaway for couples. Ditch the everyday stuff and set sail for adventure and romance on the open water! These charters take you to stunning places and offer incredible experiences right on board, making them perfect for reconnecting, chilling out, and building memories that will last forever. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to set sail on an epic adventure with your special someone!

3 Reasons to Consider a Yacht For Your Wedding Venue

• Written by: Watermark Team

Congratulations on your engagement! Now comes the excitement of planning your special day. Many couples start by choosing their wedding venue as the foundation for other details such as guest count, catering, and decor. Discover why a private, luxury yacht makes an incredible wedding venue.

1. Spectacular Water Views

Talk about a waterfront wedding! Our yachts provide an ever-changing, dynamic backdrop for your nuptials. From the interior cabins to the open-air decks, you will be surrounded by spectacular water views. With the Chesapeake Bay as your backdrop, the need for decorations is minimal. That means one less thing to worry about!

Not to mention, your wedding photos will be incredible! Visit our Instagram for inspiration.

2. Dynamic Space

Our yachts provide a dynamic space to transition seamlessly from each of your wedding events. Many couples choose to have their full wedding itinerary on the yacht. A popular combination is a dockside ceremony on the upper, open-air deck followed by a seated dinner on the main deck, and then a full-boat reception. In that case, vendors and guests only have one destination, so it is a great way to simplify transportation and logistics.

On the other hand, couples that have already chosen their ceremony venue will host other wedding events on the yachts. For example, receptions, bridal showers, bachelor/bachelorette parties, welcome brunches, and rehearsal dinners. Our vessels offer an incredible venue for any occasion, so there is always a way to incorporate a cruise!

We have four large, luxury yachts in our fleet. Each one has a different personality and feel to it. The varied passenger capacities allow up to 225 guests on our largest vessel and as few as you would like on any of the vessels. Our Event Specialists know the spaces inside and out. They will help you choose the best boat for your vision, budget, and guest count.

3. Romantic Atmosphere

Being on the water, watching the sunset, and having the boat all to yourself add to the romantic atmosphere of the yachts. Most importantly, the vessel is all yours, so it is a totally private space. Many couples capture the most magical photos by timing events around sunset. Enjoy the company of your guests downstairs, and then take to the top deck at golden hour for a special moment with your new spouse. That will be a memory you will never forget!

A wedding on a yacht is certainly a refreshing alternative. In short, the backdrop is spectacular, the vessels are unique, flexible venues for any event, and they offer a romantic atmosphere for your celebrations. Check out more reasons to charter a yacht, here. Have questions? Click the button below to contact our Event Specialists. They will answer your questions, walk you through the vessels, and take you through each step of the process.

Five bodies found inside superyacht that sank off Sicily

PORTICELLO, Sicily — Divers recovered four bodies Wednesday from inside a superyacht that sank in a sudden storm off Sicily , Salvatore Cocina, director of the island's Civil Protection Agency, confirmed to NBC News.

Cocina later confirmed to Sky News that a fifth body had been found and was being brought to shore. One passenger remains missing.

The identities of the bodies were not immediately released. Their recovery follows a dayslong search in the deep waters off Italy where British tech tycoon Mike Lynch  and several others were believed to be trapped in the hull. Fifteen of the 22 people aboard survived.

The rest had been missing since early Monday, when the Bayesian was caught in the storm anchored off the coast of Porticello, a village near the Sicilian capital city, Palermo.

The body of the ship’s cook, identified as Recaldo Thomas, a Canadian Antiguan national, was recovered Monday. 

On Wednesday, NBC News witnessed what appeared to be at least three body bags being lifted from fire department boats after they pulled into port at Porticello. It was unclear whose bodies they were. Some were later transferred to ambulances and driven away from the dock.

Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah; Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife, Judy; and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife, Neda, are also missing. 

The Bayesian is owned by a firm linked to Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, who was among the survivors rescued by a nearby vessel after they got into a lifeboat.

Built by the Italian shipbuilder Perini Navi in 2008, the U.K.-registered yacht could carry 12 guests and a crew of up to 10, according to online specialist boating sites. Its nearly 250-foot mast is the tallest aluminum sailing mast in the world, according to CharterWorld Luxury Yacht Charters.  

Regularly described in U.K. media as “Britain’s Bill Gates,” Lynch was  acquitted of fraud by a San Francisco jury this year, stemming from the sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion in 2011.

The Mediterranean sailing vacation was designed to be a celebration for Lynch, who brought Bloomer, who testified in his defense, and Morvillo, one of his U.S. lawyers, on the trip.

Lynch's co-defendant Stephen Chamberlain was not aboard the Bayesian, but in what appears to be a tragic coincidence, a  car struck and killed  him Saturday as he was jogging in a village about 68 miles north of London, local police said.

A superyacht captain shares 3 things people who want to charter a luxury vessel should know

• Vacationing on a superyacht may sound like it's all Champagne and sunbathing.
• But before boarding a luxury vessel, superyacht captain Kelly Gordon advises keeping certain things in mind.
• Yachting is a summer pastime with risks and nuances for clients and crew.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez soaking up the sun. Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian's wedding . Beyoncé's carefree jump into the ocean.

One of these images is likely what comes to mind when you hear the word "superyacht," a phrase generally used to describe a yacht over 80 feet in length.

While ultra-luxurious vessels are associated with all things carefree, tragic events such as the sinking of the Bayesian superyacht off the coast of Sicily on Monday is a reminder that yachting is a pastime with unique risks and nuances. It's unclear what the protocols were on the Bayesian.

For those keen on the idea of chartering a superyacht, captain Kelly Gordon, 42, told Business Insider there are a number of important factors to consider before hopping on board.

Gordon fell in love with yachting after she stepped aboard a yacht for the first time in her mid-20s.

Hellbent on reaching captain level, Gordon quickly worked her way up the chain of command. She's spent most of her time sailing the Bahamas and the Caribbean and is now based in Florida, where she works as a captain on a 108-foot-long privately owned vessel.

Gordon, who has over 12,600 followers on Instagram , shares three factors to keep in mind before boarding a chartered superyacht.

Think of the process of chartering a superyacht as buying a house

One of the most important things to do when chartering a superyacht is to work with a charter broker, Gordon says.

"The charter manager's job is to No. 1: find you a safe boat," Gordon said, adding that in her experience, "Not all programs put safety as high up on the list as it should be."

She also likes to equate charter brokers to Realtors in that they take on the role of finding you the best option for your taste.

"You find one that you gel with really well and has a good reputation, and then you discuss with them what your budget is, where you want to go, what your activity levels are, what your personalities are like," Gordon said.

Pairing clients with a crew that aligns with their characteristics is a huge part of a charter broker's job, Gordon said.

"If you think about it, you're living with that crew for 24/7, around the clock," she said. "You're not going put someone that just wants to sit and read books all day with a crew that's extremely active."

Find a crew that is competent and prioritizes safety

Charter brokers also help match clients with a competent crew that prioritizes safety.

"I don't know that many people realize just how much their life is in our hands when we cast those lines and we go to sea," Gordon said.

Part of that is having a safety briefing, which Gordon carries out every time she welcomes clients onto a chartered vessel before leaving a dock.

A thorough safety briefing includes informing clients about the location of safety equipment and lifejackets and the procedures for events such as a fire, a person falling overboard, or the boat sinking.

"You should have a safety briefing, and if you don't get one, you should ask for one," Gordon said.

The process, she added, can be different on privately owned yachts, where passengers may be familiar with the vessel.

The Bayesian is a private yacht owned by tech tycoon Mike Lynch; it's not yet known what kind of safety protocols staff and guests were trained on.

Make sure there's a member of the crew on watch 24/7

"A lot of charter guests think when they go to sleep, the crew goes to sleep," Gordon said.

But that shouldn't be the case, she added. "You want to be on a boat knowing that someone's up, because if the weather changes or the anchor starts to drag, you need somebody that's up and ready to go and get everybody else to handle it."

Among the biggest weather risks are tornados, which can be extremely difficult to predict and prepare for whether you're on land or at sea.

"I'm from the Midwest, where tornados pop up," Gordon said. "It's hard to see a tornado coming, and if you do see it coming, the tornado goes where it wants to go."

Most often, that leaves people near the weather event with just minutes to ready themselves, which is even trickier "in the middle of the night."

While rapid changes in weather are tough to contend with, Gordon recommends researching the areas you are sailing in beforehand, like you would when visiting a new country.

"It's no different than if you're going on vacation on land," she said. "You want to know where you're going. Don't put that just all on the crew."

While the research doesn't have to be as extensive as the crew should be doing, it's important to still be "responsible for your own self as well as your family and your guests."
