The Yacht Preference Sheet: A Secret of an Unforgettable Charter Holiday

SuperYachts Croatia emphasizes that a completed yacht preference sheet acts as the initial point of contact between charterers and the crew. Once completed, this document becomes the blueprint for your charter experience, guiding both the charter agent and the crew in making meticulous arrangements.

Why is the yacht preference sheet important?

Here’s how your preferences are used to pre-plan every aspect of your trip:

• For Pre-Charter Logistics: The handy document provides your contact information (including emergency contacts) and travel details (arrival and departure times, hotel information) to the charter agent. This allows them to arrange seamless airport transfers and handle any pre-boarding logistics.
• For Stocking and Provisioning the Yacht: The Food and Meals section is one of the most critical parts of the yacht preference sheet. Detailed information about the group’s preferences are encouraged, including: Specific dishes, Allergies, food dislikes, and special dietary requirements. This also includes children’s preferences, and special requests like meals ashore or beach barbecues
• For Planning Activities and Itineraries: Are you an active group that enjoys shore hikes and water toys? Or perhaps there are scuba divers in your group? The Preferred Activities section allows you to share your interests, helping the crew plan the itinerary and ensure they are well-prepared for your chosen activities.

With this intel, the chef can create personalized menus that cater to every palate and dietary need, while the deck crew can prepare all the desired water toys, beach picnics or transport between the yacht and the Croatian mainland.

The sheet also allows you to specify any physical disabilities among your party. This enables the crew to make necessary adjustments for a smooth experience, ensuring everyone on board feels comfortable and well-cared for.

Who uses the yacht preference sheet and in what way?

The captain uses the information to streamline logistics, ensuring a smooth start to your adventure. There are also considerations around your preferences when crafting the itinerary, incorporating activities, desired locations, and tranquil anchorages for a truly personalized journey. This could mean positioning the yacht to catch the famous Zadar sunset or a perfect panorama of the Brijuni National Park to go with your lunch.

As mentioned earlier, the yacht preference sheet is a godsend for the chef, allowing them to stock the yacht with your favourite ingredients and cater to any dietary restrictions.

For those who crave a fun night on board, the sheet can be used to request a themed party or beachside gathering, transforming your yachting experience into an unforgettable social event.

The first officer and his team will ensure that all toys and tenders are made available to charter guests at any hour of the day, as well as assisting with other equipment such as scuba dive tanks and snorkelling gear.

How to fill out your yacht preference sheet

Take the time to fill out the sheet accurately and comprehensively. Inaccurate or incomplete information can lead to hiccups. Specific requirements contribute to efficient financial planning through the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA).

Since most yachts work through APA, this is the money the crew spends based on your preferences. Inaccurate information can lead to overspending during provisioning. Begin planning your yacht charter early and ensure the crew is aware of any important events or milestones.

SuperYachts Croatia highlights the importance of providing detailed information. Knowing your shoe size for upcoming water activities or specifying a favourite brand of liquor ensures the crew can fulfil even the most seemingly insignificant requests.
