Life on a luxury yacht is not lawless and all about luxury and fun. Like many luxury locations, there are some do’s and don’t that you prefer to respect for your image, for the staff well-being and for the safety on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a list of 10 rules you must follow onboard a boat to enjoy your trip to the fullest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Do: Respect the crew and keep them informed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The crew members have your comfort and well-being at heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They strive to offer you outstanding service throughout your cruise. They place their energy and know-how to ensure that you spend a memorable and unique moment. Treat your crew at the true value of their service, with respect and consideration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order for your stay to take place in optimal conditions, keep the crew informed of your different projects or desired changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you wish to invite additional guests on board, let the crew know. This way, the crew can prepare a meal or cocktail for everyone, according to your wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, notify the crew if anything is damaged or broken on board. If you want to use the water toys, notify the crew, who will give you the necessary advice and instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel that the value of the service justifies it, don’t hesitate to leave a tip before disembarking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no rule, but it is considered fair to tip 5-15% of the yacht charter amount. The tip of the crew isn’t a part of your APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance)<\/a>. For more details read our guide about the cost of a yacht charter<\/a>.
