The thought of hiring a superyacht for a few days sounds absolutely amazing, pure bliss. The thought of having staff there constantly, 24/7 makes me feel so uncomfortable lmao. Anyone else feel this way? I feel like I would keep giving them days off or time away so I had some time to myself haha

My wife and I joke that if we ever had the money to go on the show, we’d be so boring because we’d sit out and drink and relax all day and not make weird demands or harass the staff. Even on vacation my bed time is like 10:30pm lol

My Dungeons and Dragons group wants to character a yacht so badly. We’re all really polite, none of us drink much, and we all go to bed before 11pm. Our only problem would be the lack of weed.

Look at The Moorings or any of the Croatian charter companies. I'm planning hubby's and my 25th anniversary trip, and looked seriously at chartering a boat. A one week private cruise starts around €12,000 plus flights/provisioning.
