There are three types of
charter motor yachts available for charter nowadays: hardtop
yachts, fly bridge and open hyve type.
Hardtop yachts
A hardtop yacht
provides a great protection in rough weather and minimizes exposure
to sun. Side screens can be fitted as well. A fixed hardtop
consists of side windows and tempered glass ceilings with
electrical sliding roof. Sliding roof can be extended to shade the
cockpit or retracted to allow more light. Usually the central part
of a hardtop can be retracted.
Fly bridge
A fly bridge is
a platform located above the main bridge and is usually equipped
with all navigation controls. It provides great visibility and
panoramic views. It can be divided into more levels, each with a
different function. The highest level is an open air pilothouse and
a leisure area.
Open yachts
The open
type have
become very popular recently. Their
design includes a new kind of hull in order to reduce resistance
when moving through the water. The whole cockpit is open with
awnings as a protection. However, this makes open yachts difficult
to maintain, because the cockpit is mainly exposed to all weather
conditions.
Yacht size
There are different models and
sizes of motor yachts. The smallest are 27 feet in length (8.23
meters) and the largest reach up to incredible 550 feet (167
meters). Though, average motor yachts are approx. 44 feet long
(around 13.41 meters) - most charter yachts belong to this
category. But it is always up to you what size of the yacht to
choose finally.
