The best luxury charter yachts for under €50k

Chartering isn't just about the megayachts costing millions a week. Yachts that fall under €50k offer all the enjoyment of a private and highly-bespoke vacation for those keeping to a tighter budget. 

Helios

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

Levante

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.

Nisi

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)

Sounion II

This 31.62 metre is a beautiful example of a classic canoe stern Benetti. An extensive refit in 2018 saw her receive an extreme makeover offering a thoroughly modern charter yacht with honey wood panelling and playful bursts of blue concealed by exterior traditional styling. Sounion II can sleep up to 10 guests in four cabins with two master suites: one on the upper deck with direct access to an aft terrace, and the other positioned forward on the lower deck. The sun deck is fitted with plenty of sunpads for lounging while family-style lunches are enjoyed beneath the shade of the overhang.

Sounion II is available for charter with Hill Robinson from $41,800 per week.

Rehab

Easily spotted from afar thanks to her distinctive blue and navy hull, Sunseeker superyacht Rehab is the perfect boat for a small group of four family or friends to relax and rejuvenate. Her compact size of 21 metres and shallow one-metre draft mean Rehab is a nimble superyacht ideal for exploring secret coves and peaceful anchorages otherwise inaccessible to larger yachts. Able to reach an impressive top speed of 40 knots, Rehab can also cruise quickly to new destinations, providing a thrilling experience above deck in the process. Other highlights on board this sporty Predator 68 include her ample al fresco entertaining spaces and wealth of water toys including waterskiing and wakeboarding gear.

Rehab is managed for charter by Bluewater with a weekly charter rate starting from €22,500.

Martina

Twelve guests can be accommodated in Martina’s five cabins, making her an ideal yacht for parties and larger families. The 30 metre yacht, which can reach a top speed of 27 knots, is managed by six crew members and can be found cruising the East Med. Martina features Indoor and outdoor dining areas and sports a classic, wood-finished interior design. Delivered by Falcon in 2002, she was last refitted in 2016. The best part about chartering Martina is that your holiday can be used for good; each year a percentage of the yacht’s charter revenues are donated to support non-profit organisations that protect marine life.

Martina is managed for charter by Atalanta Golden Yachts with a weekly charter rate starting at €45,000.
