Mega yacht charters are the ultimate on-the-water luxury travel experience. We offer a range of exceptional mega yachts that can accommodate 20 to 30 guests and even a few rare gems which can take up to 100 guests.

Most luxury yachts only carry 12 passengers, by law. Here are ones that can carry larger groups for your event or celebration!

The reason lays in regulation. Once a vessel carries more than 12 passengers, even if it is being used as a private yacht, it is considered to be a passenger ship and has to comply with the SOLAS convention (Safety of Life at Sea) set out by the IMO (International Maritime Organization).

For a small vessel, about 50 to 80 feet with room for eight guests, an owner would need two to four crew members, ing to Oxana Vergne, charter manager at Engel & Völkers Yachting, a brokerage focused on yacht sales and charters. Mega yachts, like a 236-foot Serenity, may have up to 30 crew members, she said.

This is largely to do with international maritime regulations, as yachts that carry more than 12 guests are legally considered to be passenger ships, which means they have to meet a different set of criteria to cruise at sea under the Passenger Yacht Code (PYC).

Regardless of the size of the boat, 60 feet or 180 feet, the maximum number of passengers is 13. The US Coast Guard regulations require that all privately-owned charter yachts in the United States are limited to a maximum of 13 passengers, plus crew.

Generally speaking, smaller superyachts between 24-30m (80-100ft) in size will require a crew of between 2 and 8 members, whereas mid-sized yachts between 30-60m (100-200ft) will require between 8 and 20 crew members.
