Find the Right Yacht for Your Charter

Q: What's the difference between a motor yacht and a sailing yacht charter?

Motor yachts prioritize speed, range, and onboard amenities; sailing yachts offer a quieter, more traditional experience under sail, often with a smaller, more intimate crew. Both are fully crewed through Nicholson.

Q: How many guests can a charter yacht accommodate?

It varies widely by yacht, from intimate sailing yachts for four to six guests up to superyachts accommodating twelve or more. A Nicholson broker will match yacht size to your group.

Every charter starts with the right yacht for how you actually want to travel — fast and social, quiet and classic, or built for genuinely remote water. Nicholson represents a curated range of crewed yachts, not an open marketplace, so every recommendation reflects a broker's direct knowledge of the boat.

Nicholson Yachts

Browse by Yacht Type

Motor yachts for effortless range and onboard comfort. Sailing yachts for a quieter, more traditional pace on the water. Catamarans for stability and generous deck space, ideal for families and groups. Expedition and explorer yachts for destinations well beyond the standard charter map.

Matched to Your Destination

The right yacht depends on where you're headed — a shallow-draft catamaran suits the Bahamas differently than a Mediterranean motor yacht suits the Amalfi Coast. A Nicholson broker will narrow the fleet to yachts genuinely suited to your itinerary, not just what's available.
