The best luxury charter yachts for under €50k

Having recently been refitted in 2019, Helios is one of the few American made, express style yachts over 27 metres currently avaliable for charter. Capable of accommodating eight guests across four cabins, Helios is a Florida pedigree, having been built by Lazzara in 2012 and an ideal option for those looking to cruise Florida and the Bahamas, only drawing a 1.5 metre draft.

Inside, her interiors are contemporary and bright with polished wooden accents and white sofas throughout. Upon boarding, take her midship stairs down to the open plan dining area to find a wet bar. Guests staying in the master stateroom, which features a king bed, a large walk-in closet and Jacuzzi bath will also have their own folding balcony, where they can sit and take in the Florida coastline cruising past.

Helios is available for charter with Denison Yachting from $42,000 per week

If you’re after maximum space on board, then a catamaran may be the way to go, specifically Levante, which boasts a large square saloon with accommodation for eight guests across four cabins. Her interiors are contemporary, bright and minimalist and she boasts a sprawling aft deck and brimming toy box.

Designed and built by Sunreef, Levante is a great pick for families after smooth sailing in either the South Pacific or Southeast Asia and perhaps one for keen scuba divers, as you’ll find all the gear you need to explore the depths.

Levante is available for charter with Edmiston from €50,000 per week.

At 25 metres long, Nisi, may sit at the smaller side of the superyacht spectrum, but thanks to her full beam owner’s suite, light-filled saloon and jam-packed toy box, her amenities can rival that of a much larger vessel. Accommodating up to six guests overnight across three cabins– or 15 guests for day charters – Nisi is the perfect way to explore the famous beaches of Australia’s Whitsunday Island's or perhaps cruise the Great Barrier Reef, while getting the full superyacht experience with three crewmembers on board.

Available on a daily or weekly rate, guests looking to spend their time frolicking in the water will have their pick of paddle boards, Fliteboards, kayaks and an underwater drone in the recently updated toy box. But for those after a more serine time on board, Nisi boasts aft sunpads, a wet bar and a private chef on hand to cook up a storm.

Nisi is available for charter with Yachtsmen International at $8,000AUS per day (approx. €5,400)

Turning heads in every port with her bottle green hull and superstructure, the 35.6 metre Can't Remember can sleep up to 15 guests in six en-suite cabins with a crew of five. She has a master suite, a VIP, one double with a Pullman berth and two twins, each with a Pullman berth. The sixth cabin can be used for additional guests or as a children's playroom. Delivered in 2004 by The Italian Sea Group and refitted in 2016, she can host barbecue lunches on the flybridge followed by an afternoon of sunbathing and cocktails atop large comfy sunpads. 

Can't Remember is managed by Atalanta Golden Yachts with charters starting from €55,000 per week.
