40–45m or 45–50m?
| 40–45m | 45–50m | |
|---|---|---|
| Interior volume | Main salon, dining and often a skylounge across three decks. | Generally more volume, with larger owner's suites and more separate social spaces. |
| Crew | Often around eight to ten crew, depending on the yacht. | Often a slightly larger crew, sometimes with a dedicated spa or water-sports role. |
| Deck spaces | Sundeck, aft deck and frequently a swim platform beach area. | More likely to offer a proper beach club, larger sundeck and Jacuzzi. |
| Toys and tenders | A main tender, jet skis and water toys are common. | Larger tender garages and a wider toy inventory are more common. |
These are typical patterns, not rules. Each yacht's layout, crew and equipment are confirmed individually.
Length is not volume
Gross tonnage
Two 45m yachts can feel very different. Gross tonnage measures enclosed volume and is often a better guide to space than length.
Beam and decks
A wider beam and an extra deck add salons, cabins and outdoor areas without adding length.
Compare like for like
We compare layout, volume, crew and cabin plans side by side, not length alone.
Why charter a 40–50m superyacht?
True superyacht scale
More volume, more deck space and a larger crew than smaller yachts, while staying easy to handle in popular harbours.
Service
A larger crew allows more personal service, from chef-led dining to water-sports guidance.
Comfort at anchor
Length and weight usually mean steadier days at anchor; stabilisers vary by yacht and are confirmed.
Amenities
Beach clubs, sundeck spas and generous toy inventories become more common in this size.
Guests, cabins and layouts
Overnight guests
Most yachts in this size accommodate up to around 12 overnight guests, depending on flag and certification. Confirmed for each yacht.
Cruising guests
Day guest limits can differ from overnight guests. We confirm both separately.
Cabins
Commonly five or six cabins: a master, VIPs and double or twin cabins. Cabins are not a guest count.
Families
Twin cabins and Pullman berths can suit families; we check layout, safety equipment and crew experience.
What does a 40–50m yacht charter cost?
A published rate is never the total cost. Each yacht is quoted in writing for your dates.
Base rate
The weekly rate for the yacht and crew, quoted in writing for your dates and season.
APA
An advance provisioning allowance for fuel, food, drink, berths and running costs.
VAT or charter tax
Depends on country, flag and itinerary, and is set out in your quote.
Berthing
Marina fees in popular ports can be significant for yachts of this length in high season.
Delivery
May apply if the yacht must travel to meet you.
Gratuity
A crew gratuity at your discretion.
How APA works
APA is a percentage of the base rate paid in advance — commonly quoted between 25% and 40% depending on the yacht and itinerary. The captain spends it on your behalf for fuel, provisions, drinks, berths and communications, keeps receipts, and reconciles the account before you disembark. Any unspent balance is returned; any shortfall is settled aboard.

Your choices are added to your enquiry.
