Why Are Yacht Charters Becoming So Popular

4

There are so many people that go on holiday and stick to just one or two beaches close by when they visit an island, but when you take a yacht cruise, you get to pick and choose which beaches on the island that you want to visit. Another reason yacht chartersare so popular is thatin areas where there are a lot of islands in a small area people can island hop.Island HoppingSeeing as much as the world as possible is a priority to a lot of people traveling. Even simply being able to say you have visited a well-known island for conversational purposes is something that people thrive on.

For example, let's imagine you have arranged a visit to the BalearicIslands. You could book a yacht charter and visit all the islands in the area. Let's say you decide to stay on Mallorca, but it would be a shame not to visit Ibiza. You could easily get a Mallorca yacht charter company to take you on a day trip to see some of Ibiza's most popular beaches. Another place that is popular in the Balearic Islands is the uninhabited Cabrera. In the end, even though your stay is booked on Mallorca, you can now boast that you have been to several of the Balearic Islands. Other places where yacht charters are appealing include Malaysia, the Philippines, Africa, Greece, and the Caribbean.

Therefore, instead of visiting just one or two beaches on a single trip away, you can actually visit two, three, or four islands simply by chartering a yacht for the day or several days.Beach HoppingPeople do not always book yacht charters just to see islands. Sometimes there are no other islands to visit or the islands that you are staying on is so large that you want to see all the beaches. The best way to get around is via a yacht charter.Bali is a tropical island known for its many beaches. However, what most people do not know is that Bali is renowned for having bad traffic. Booking a minivan or hiring a car to get around the outskirts of the island is somewhat of a nightmare at any time of the day.

The easy way to beat the traffic is to charter a yacht for the day or arrange two or three yacht trips around the island. Moving back to the aforementioned Mallorca, this is also a reasonably large island. Getting around in a car during the hot season can be exhausting rather than exhilarating. As a result, companies such as Azzurra Yacht Charters have special trips available for those that want to visit all the top beaches on the island. Accessing Beaches That Are Inaccessible by LandBeach hopping is one thing but being able to visit beaches that are only accessible by yacht charter is another talking point that you can take away from your holiday. If you book a trip to an island, then make sure you search on the internet to find out if there are any secret coves or beaches that can only be visited if you have a boat. In Thailand, there ar

e plenty of islands and beaches where there are no roads leading to the beach. Also, there are no safe pathways to the beaches and navigating the terrain Is awkward. Luckily there are plenty of yacht charters in Thailand that will take you to these beaches.Privacy Onboard A Yacht CharterNow there are always plenty of tours available on tourist islands that will send you off in a group to island hop, beach hop, or explore beaches that you would otherwise not be able to get to from land. However, many of these tours are on a strict time schedule plus you have to share the boat with a hoard of other tourists.

On the other hand, you could hire a private yacht for the day via a yacht charter company and have the entire yacht to yourself. You can reduce the costs by booking with a group of people or you could just decide to take your family. Private yacht charters are also very popular amongst newlyweds and couples looking for something special while they are traveling abroad. Visiting Island Restaurants or Beach Bars To finish off what has been an exciting topic to cover, another reason private yacht charters are so much fun is the freedom on the open waters that this kind of trip offers you.

One of my favorite activities or parts of the day when my family and I hire a yacht is lunch!In Mallorca, we were spoiled for choice where to stop for food, but we allowed the captain of the yacht to recommend somewhere for us. He took as to a small island beach where there was an outside restaurant. The only way to get to the restaurant was by boat.It was an amazing place with locals there that owned boats, which were moored up off the long pier. Plus, there were a few other people that had the same idea as us by hiring a yacht for the day to take us around the island. At the end of the day, we also pulled up at a beach that had a quaint little bar that did some great cocktails and mocktails for the whole family to enjoy.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
