Across the ninety-six fully crewed yachts with a current rate card, a sailing catamaran runs from EUR 17,000 a week net base at 15 metres to EUR 90,000 at 24 metres; a power catamaran from EUR 21,000 to EUR 90,000; a motor yacht from EUR 17,500 at 20 metres to EUR 150,000 at 39 metres; and the two yachts above 50 metres from EUR 162,500 to EUR 235,000. Every figure below is per yacht per week, before VAT and APA, and comes from a rate card we hold rather than from a market average.","bands":[{"yacht_type":"Sailing catamaran","size_band":"12 to 16m","guests":"8 to 10","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":17000,"high_eur":22000,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":4},{"yacht_type":"Sailing catamaran","size_band":"16 to 19m","guests":"8 to 10","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":18900,"high_eur":48000,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":9},{"yacht_type":"Sailing catamaran","size_band":"20 to 22m","guests":"8 to 10","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":31500,"high_eur":43500,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":8},{"yacht_type":"Sailing catamaran","size_band":"23 to 24m","guests":"8 to 10","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":54900,"high_eur":90000,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":8},{"yacht_type":"Power catamaran","size_band":"13 to 17m","guests":"8","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":21000,"high_eur":28000,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":2},{"yacht_type":"Power catamaran","size_band":"20 to 22m","guests":"8 to 10","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":33000,"high_eur":69000,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":8},{"yacht_type":"Power catamaran","size_band":"23 to 24m","guests":"6 to 12","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":49000,"high_eur":90000,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":5},{"yacht_type":"Motor yacht","size_band":"18 to 21m","guests":"6 to 8","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":17500,"high_eur":28000,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":4},{"yacht_type":"Motor yacht","size_band":"22 to 25m","guests":"6 to 10","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":21000,"high_eur":47500,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":9},{"yacht_type":"Motor yacht","size_band":"26 to 31m","guests":"10 to 12","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":35900,"high_eur":75000,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":8},{"yacht_type":"Motor yacht","size_band":"32 to 34m","guests":"8 to 12","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":49000,"high_eur":125000,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":10},{"yacht_type":"Motor yacht","size_band":"35 to 40m","guests":"10 to 12","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":59900,"high_eur":150000,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":11},{"yacht_type":"Motor yacht","size_band":"45 to 48m","guests":"10 to 12","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":83300,"high_eur":140000,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":2},{"yacht_type":"Superyacht","size_band":"50m and above","guests":"12 to 49","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":162500,"high_eur":235000,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":2},{"yacht_type":"Sailing monohull","size_band":"24 to 31m","guests":"6 to 9","weekly_net_base":{"low_eur":24000,"high_eur":55000,"currency":"EUR","per":"yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA"},"yachts_in_band":6}],"stat_callouts":[{"value":"EUR 17,000","label":"the crewed floor: a 15 metre sailing catamaran for eight guests, per week net base"},{"value":"96 yachts","label":"fully crewed boats whose current rate cards this index is built from: 90 of the 91 on the list, plus six crewed sailing monohulls quoted separately"},{"value":"66 videos","label":"of the 91 yachts on the list carry a walkthrough video on their own page, filmed aboard, deck by deck"},{"value":"Autumn 2026","label":"when owners settle the 2027 rate cards and the most requested July and August weeks begin to go"},{"value":"6-12 months","label":"typical booking lead time for peak July to August weeks; premium 40m-plus yachts a year or more ahead"}],"methodology":"Figures are net base charter fees (EUR per yacht per week, excluding VAT and APA), compiled by George Yachts from the current rate cards of the ninety-six fully crewed yachts we represent, together with our own booking and quotation data across the 2025 and 2026 seasons. Each band states the lowest and highest figure that appears on a rate card in it, so the numbers are observed rather than modelled, and no cell is an estimate; a yacht sits in the band of its length rounded to the metre. Fully crewed means two or more crew. The population is the ninety-one yachts on the list less one that quotes on request, plus six crewed sailing monohulls that are priced here but held apart from the fleet count. The motor list was renewed on 8 September 2026 and every band was recounted on 11 September, when two motor bands, 32 to 34 metres and 45 to 48 metres, were added because the renewed list filled what had been gaps; twelve more yachts joined on 14 September and were counted into the bands the same day, and nine left the list that evening and were counted out. Gulets, which we quote on request rather than carry, run roughly EUR 9,500 to 44,500 a week (est.), the one estimated figure on this page. Rates move with the season and with each yacht's calendar: this edition was refreshed on 11 September 2026 as the 2027 cards opened, recounted on 14 September, and it is refreshed quarterly."}
