Private Yacht Charter Worldwide

Crewed yachts, catamarans, and superyachts in the world's most beautiful sailing destinations — sourced and booked by Lina AI in 24 hours.

Booking a private yacht used to mean weeks of back-and-forth with brokers, opaque pricing, and decisions made on incomplete information. Zeniva rebuilt the experience around speed and clarity. You tell Lina AI when you want to sail, where, and the size of your group — within 24 hours, you receive 3 to 5 vetted options with full pricing, crew bios, and itinerary suggestions.

Every yacht in our network is operated by a licensed and insured charter company. We work with brokers in the British Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Greece, Croatia, Turkey, French Polynesia, Thailand, and the Caribbean. Whether you want a 45-foot catamaran for a family of six or a 180-foot motor yacht with a crew of ten, the process is the same: describe the trip, review the options, book.

The Caribbean is Zeniva's strongest charter region. We coordinate trips out of Tortola (BVI), Nassau (Bahamas), St. Martin, St. Lucia, Antigua, and Grenada. The British Virgin Islands remain the most popular starting point thanks to short hops between protected anchorages, predictable trade winds, and a chain of beach bars that have become destinations in their own right — Soggy Dollar, Foxy's, the Willy T.

Catamarans dominate the Caribbean fleet because they handle shallow anchorages well and offer more living space than monohulls of similar length. Expect to budget $20,000 to $45,000 per week for a fully crewed 50-foot catamaran sleeping 8 guests, all-inclusive of food, drinks, fuel, and crew gratuity.

The Mediterranean season runs roughly May through October, with July and August being peak. Zeniva sources yachts in Greece (Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, the Ionian), Croatia (Split, Dubrovnik), Italy (Naples, Sardinia, Amalfi), the French Riviera (Cannes, St. Tropez), Turkey (Bodrum, Göcek), and the Balearics (Palma, Ibiza).

Mediterranean charters tend toward larger motor yachts because the distances between marquee destinations are longer. A 100-foot motor yacht with a crew of 5 typically runs $80,000 to $150,000 per week plus the standard 30% APA (advanced provisioning allowance) for fuel, food, and dockage. Smaller sailing yachts in Greece or Turkey can be had for under $20,000 per week.

Crewed charter pricing typically includes the yacht itself, the crew (captain, chef, deckhands, stewardess), and basic amenities. The APA — usually 25–35% of the base charter fee — covers fuel, dockage, food, drinks, port fees, and any provisioning you request. Anything left over at the end of the trip is refunded.

Tips are customary and typically run 10–20% of the base charter fee, paid directly to the captain at the end of the trip. Travel insurance, flights to the embarkation point, and any pre/post-charter hotel stays are not included — Zeniva can coordinate all of these as part of the same booking.
