Perhaps, the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear about somebody chartering a yacht for a vacation is that it is an expensive undertaking. But if you really compare it with the expenses you would incur in a good resort hotel, you realize that the price is just comparable with what you will pay for Canadian yacht charters. However, the experience that you gain from Canadian boating is incomparable with what you get inland.

There are quite a number of boats that you can choose from. The prices of Canadian yacht charters are dependent on the season, the size of the boat and its maintenance level, and the charter company. Large charter companies can offer competitive prices because they enjoy economies of scale in employing full-time staff to maintain and keep several boats in tiptop condition. That does not mean, though, that a one-boat charter company cannot charge low rates when they want to.

You can choose between two basic Canadian yacht charters: bareboat and crewed. In bareboat chartering, you must have sufficient know-how in operating the yacht, which may be a sailboat or a powerboat. Remember that the safety of those onboard the yacht and the yacht itself are in your hands if you prefer bareboat Canadian yacht charters. Thus, a good working knowledge of Canadian boating is a must, and amateurs should choose crewed Canadian yacht charters instead.

In crewed Canadian yacht charters, a skipper will join you aboard throughout the time you sail. Some bareboat companies also provide a skipper to help you gain familiarity with the ropes or the area, but who will depart afterwards leaving you to enjoy your holidays. Crewed Canadian yacht charters frequently carry husband-wife teams. The charter becomes their full-time business, with the husband acting as the skipper, and the wife doing the cooking, serving and cleaning.
