Types
There are also two sub categories of yacht charters:
1. Un-inspected passenger yachts. Also known as 6-packs which are so named because they carry only six or fewer passengers. All captains start out by getting their "six-pack" licence.
6-pack yachts are great for smaller groups of six or less, and these yachts have a variety of types and sizes. For example, six packs can be sailing yachts, fishing boats, or power yachts and anything in between. While this type of charter is the least expensive of the two, you will still need a licensed captain, or skipper with you at all times. On six-pack charters you can choose your menue and the type of cruise you wish to take be it bay sailing or an ocean voyage.
2. Inspected passenger ships. Inspected charters are designed to carry groups larger than six passengers. These charter vessels can range from large sailing yachts to dinner cruise ships. These charters are designed to carry up to several hundred passengers. Inspected vessels can offer many different features that an un-inspected passenger yacht can not. Features like catering, live music, or a DJ are available on these larger ships.
Several factors determine the cost of a charter, including the size of the yacht, its age, its pedigree, the number of crew, and the destination. The worldwide range of charter prices (per person per week) is estimated to be from $70000 up to and in excess of $20,000.
Megayacht or Superyacht that are over 150-foot to 300-foot is estimated respectively to be from $ 45,000 up to $ 700,000 (per week)

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“He types his laboured column—weary drudge!
Senile fudge and solemn:
Spare, editor, to condemn
These dry leaves of his autumn.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)

“Our major universities are now stuck with an army of pedestrian, toadying careerists, Fifties types who wave around Sixties banners to conceal their record of ruthless, beaverlike tunneling to the top.”
