No matter whose medical expert you follow or the news you listen to, the one thing that appears certain is that this coronavirus issue will not end soon. Yachting wakes up with the world. Pandemic activity has increased. Yacht charters are now the safest travel choice.
12knots.com provides clarity, clear criteria, and protections to assist you to comprehend a boat charter in COVID-19.
Yacht Charters—The Ultimate Social Distance
Travel rules may change with the pleasant news that numerous Covid 19 vaccinations will be accessible in early 2021. Superyachts have traditionally outperformed cruise ships of all sizes in health and well-being, for obvious reasons. A private superyacht, carrying only a few friends or family to distant islands for days or weeks, is the ultimate isolation vacation, and next summer will be no different. Itineraries will likely feature more isolated sites, fewer on-shore excursions, and more yacht-based activities. Do you want to travel with your family yet be completely antisocial? Yachts can!
Fewer People, Fewer Worries
Yacht charters reduce dangerous external interaction with a small crew. Your trip to the embarkation port will expose you more than the charter. However, private planes might restrict your exposure throughout your move. We can arrange private air and ground travel to and from the boat to better protect you and your family.
COVID Protections Will Be The Toughest
2020 charter yachts will install more safety measures to protect crew and visitors (which, in all honesty, is quite extensive). This includes disinfecting the boat before boarding and maintaining the highest hygiene and safety standards throughout your charter, all with little disturbance to your days of leisure and discovery and by international COVID-19 rules.
Yacht Charters Allow Privacy
If this isn’t enough, private yacht charters provide custom itineraries where you’re in charge and may choose how much on-shore interaction you want. Yachts are self-sufficient kingdoms, so supplies may be brought on board without disembarking. The only time we have to dock onshore is to refuel or if the weather is bad. You can also dodge crowds, change plans at the last minute, and go where you choose.
Yacht Charter Policies For COVID-19
If COVID returns, certain boats have unique cancellation/rescheduling rules. Knowing you may securely schedule a yacht rental for the next summer and yet be entitled to deferral (and even cancellation) for COVID-19-related events is a huge thing, and we strive to assist you to protect your investment in this uncertain period. As usual, your safety and peace of mind come first.
The Fun Remains Unmatched
Luckily, a variety of water toys, tables, and inflatables will keep tourists entertained while they explore uninhabited islets, beaches, and bays. Given their room, superyachts may carry snorkel and SCUBA gear, SUP boards, kayaks, canoes, and a variety of inflatables including sea trampolines, slides, pools, and complete blow-up islands, as well as sea-doos, jet skis, kitesurfs, water skis, and fly-boards.
During COVID-19, yacht rentals are the ideal alternative for unplugged holidays. Everything is packed for a lifetime journey. Although beach-side bars and shore excursions will still be accessible, we think sipping sundowners on the sun deck with chill-out music, great nibbles, and loved ones would be even better.
