Behind Salt & Motor

We began by building our own yachts and renting them out to clients, and have worked in charter for 100 years.

Breakfast laid on the aft deck of a motor yacht at anchor

A private motor yacht with its own crew: the captain sails and plans each day around the wind, the cook cooks, and the day is yours. It's a little like renting a villa that moves to a new bay each morning; by the second day the crew know how you take your coffee.

Good to know

What does the weekly fee cover?

The motor yacht and its crew. Food, drink, fuel and harbour fees are usually extra, and are often paid through the APA.

What is APA?

An advance provisioning allowance paid on top of the charter fee. It covers running costs such as fuel, food and port fees, and any unspent balance is returned after the charter.

Who sails the motor yacht?

The captain and crew sail the yacht, prepare the meals and look after you. The captain plans each day's route with you, around the wind.

Is tipping expected?

Tipping the crew at the end of the charter is customary.
