What to Expect Before Your Luxury Crewed Charter: A Pre-Trip Guide

Tags: Guides / Luxe Collection

Your dream luxury crewed yacht vacation is just around the corner—and we couldn’t be more excited to help you set sail on one of your most memorable holidays.

At Horizon Luxury Crewed, we aim to make your charter journey as seamless and enjoyable as possible, starting well before you step aboard. Here’s what to expect in the lead-up to your charter.

1. Locking in the Perfect Yacht

Once Kayleigh, our dedicated Luxury Crewed Yacht Specialist, has helped you choose and book the ideal yacht for your charter dates, your luxury getaway officially begins. Whether you’re sailing the turquoise waters of the BVI/USVI, exploring the Bahamian Out Islands, or preparing to uncover Europe’s Mediterranean treasures, your adventure starts with the right vessel and crew.

2. Submitting Your Preference List

About a month before departure, you’ll complete your Preference List—this is where you tell us everything that will make your trip unforgettable. From dietary preferences and drink favorites to preferred activities and celebration notes, this is your moment to truly personalize your experience. We have put together a couple of itineraries to get you inspired and give you some ideas!

3. Crew Call & Itinerary Planning

Next, you’ll hop on a call with your crew. This is a fun and helpful chance to get to know your captain, chef and extended crew, discuss your preference list in detail, and shape your ideal itinerary. Whether you’re seeking hidden coves, vibrant beach bars, or serene snorkeling spots, this is when it all comes together!

4. Arrival & Pickup Details

Just before your arrival, Kayleigh will help you coordinate with your crew to choose your pickup point—we’ll ensure it’s convenient and seamless. If you’re in need of assistance getting to your pickup point, our trusted Water Taxi Service is available to help you make those final connections with ease.

Once you meet your crew in person, you’ll step aboard, and settle in! Time to set sail and let the fun begin.
