Question 1

What makes Luna yachts different from other charter vessels?

Accepted Answer

Luna yachts are Italian-built vessels known for quality craftsmanship and elegant design. They balance performance with comfort, making them suitable for both serious sailors and those seeking a leisurely Mediterranean experience. Our five active Luna yachts combine Italian engineering with modern amenities and navigation systems.

Question 2

What level of sailing experience do I need?

Accepted Answer

Luna yacht charters accommodate various experience levels. If you have formal sailing credentials or substantial practical experience, you can often charter bareboat. Otherwise, hire a professional skipper and crew, who handle navigation, sail management, and maintenance, allowing you to fully enjoy the sailing experience without technical responsibility.

Question 3

When is the best time to book a Luna charter?

Accepted Answer

Peak season runs May through September, offering stable weather and warm conditions ideal for sailing. Spring and autumn provide pleasant sailing with fewer crowds. Winter charters are possible but weather is less predictable. Book three to six months in advance during peak season for the best yacht availability and rates.

Question 4

Where can I sail with my Luna yacht charter?

Accepted Answer

Luna charters operate across Mediterranean sailing regions, including Italy, Greece, Croatia, and adjacent areas. The Italian heritage of Luna yachts makes them particularly suited to Italian coastal and island sailing. Specific departure points and sailing routes depend on your chosen yacht and charter dates with Chartera.

Question 5

Do Luna yacht charters include professional crew services?

Accepted Answer

You can choose bareboat or crewed options. Bareboat lets experienced sailors self-manage the yacht independently. Crewed charters include a professional skipper and sometimes additional crew like a chef or deckhand. Most guests opt for crewed options to enhance comfort and allow fuller enjoyment of the destination while sailing.

Question 6

What is the typical weekly rate for a Luna?

Accepted Answer

Weekly rates for Luna yachts vary based on yacht size, season, and duration. Peak season rates are higher than shoulder seasons. Prices generally reflect Mediterranean charter market rates for comparable vessels. Contact Chartera for specific quotes tailored to your chosen yacht, dates, and charter configuration preferences.

Question 7

What costs are included in a Luna charter rate?

Accepted Answer

Luna charter rates typically cover yacht use, equipment, navigation systems, and base provisioning. Additional costs include fuel, provisioning, port fees, and advance berthing. Crewed charters may include crew meals and specialised services. Review your specific charter agreement to clearly understand all inclusions and additional costs.

Question 8

Can I charter a Luna without sailing credentials?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you lack sailing credentials, chartering with a professional skipper is the standard solution. The skipper manages technical sailing aspects while you enjoy the experience. Chartera can arrange skippers with varying expertise levels based on your preferences and the yacht's complexity.
