FAQ

  • How can I book a charter?

    At the top of our website, you can find the “Request Form” button. Once you click that, you will be directed to our charter request page.

  • What is the difference between a basic and premium package?

    Our basic package includes just the charter fee. Whereas the premium package includes a specific number of premium liquor bottles and complimentary shots every hour! That’s a win.

  • Is there a security deposit?

    Yes, all charters require a $750 deposit for incidentals and are refundable. You may pay this with cash or an approved credit or debit card. Please be aware that refunds are processed according to your banking institution’s policies.

  • Can I bring my own liquor?

    Upon approval from the owner, you may bring unopened liquor for your charter. Please be aware that you will be charged a gratuity fee (20% of your charter fee) and only approved Yacht 17 crew members may handle liquor onboard due to sailing regulations. We do not allow red wine onboard our vessel.

  • Can I book a 2-hour charter?

    Yacht 17 has a minimum charter duration of 4 hours. Due to costs and scheduling, we can not allow anything less than 4 hours.

  • I can't swim, but I really want to book. Do you offer life jackets?

    Yacht 17 requires that all passengers have access to the life jackets provided onboard. Therefore, you can still book with us!

  • Do you offer hookah for charters?

    Yes, hookah may be added for an additional charge. Please include this request when filling out the request form.
