A crewed charter is a charter on a luxury yacht or boat in Goa where a permanent crew takes care of the yacht or boat and the passengers.  The crew is made up of a captain and additional trained crew including hostesses, deckhands, engineers etc. Depending on what you require, crewed boats can simply have a skipper and a hostess or a whole team to take care of you during your charter!

What kind of quality control do you do on your yachts and boats - how do I know they will be in good condition?
All charter companies in Goa must adhere to local Captain of Ports laws and regulations. This is your primary protection, and in most cases, the rules are quite strict. For instance, in Goa, the Coast Guard regularly checks papers of the boats and there are large fines if anything is missing. All operators also must carry insurance by law. You have every right to see these papers prior to embarkation. Beyond this, we work only with reliable operators, who have a track record of success and happy customers. Before we work with an operator, they must agree to meet our high standard of customer satisfaction and agree to provide boats that are clean and in excellent condition for their age. Finally, of course, the general rule is that the newer the boat, the better the condition.
