When it comes to a yacht charter, there is no one size fits all choice.
For those seeking an intimate experience, a modest yacht with a smaller crew is the perfect choice. Nothing is more romantic than piloting a yacht into forbidden, hard-to-find coves and going for a quiet swim for two.
When bringing the whole family or a large group of friends along, a larger superyacht is the better choice, and you’ll want a vessel with numerous, large staterooms, a bigger crew to serve everyone’s needs, and plenty of amenities on board to entertain your group.
For longer stretches at sea, a megayacht provides the home-away-from-home feel that makes a dream yacht charter feel more like an extension of your day-to-day than a vacation. The largest yachts of this type come complete with wellness crews for facials, massages and hair care, and full kitchen staff to cater to the most lavish dining needs, making them perfect for longer voyages that feel more like an extension of home.
Below, we’ll be comparing three yachts, ranging in size and amenities, along with the perfect getaway destinations for each. When chartering a vessel with Moran Yacht & Ship, your options are nearly endless, and the experience is always one for the books.
Exclusive Exploration aboard Le Reve
The Exumas are renowned for their untouched beauty and secluded spots, perfect for intimate exploration. And aboard a Moran vessel like Le Reve, guests have the freedom to explore at their own pace, visiting hidden cays, deserted beaches, and vibrant coral reefs.
At a cozy 110 ft., Le Reve provides an unparalleled level of privacy, making it an ideal choice for a romantic getaway. Unlike crowded resorts, a yacht offers secluded anchorages and private coves where couples can enjoy undisturbed time together. The serene environment of the Exumas, combined with the intimate setting of the yacht, creates a perfect backdrop for romance. Whether it’s watching the sunset from the deck, enjoying a dip in the jacuzzi after a candlelit dinner, or stargazing from the bow, Le Reve offers countless opportunities to explore the 365 islands of the Exumas—an unforgettable memory for every day of the year.
7 day yacht charters in the Bahamas begin at a price of $30,000 per week, with a crew of four, including a personal chef.
With its crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and secluded cays, the Exumas are a paradise waiting to be explored, and Le Reve, with its luxurious amenities and exceptional service, provides the perfect vessel for a private and romantic escape.
Spread Out with Entourage
Yachting is synonymous with luxury, freedom, and the allure of the open sea. Open ocean sailing requires size and power, and Moran Yacht & Ship’s largest superyachts are custom built, representing the pinnacle of design and craftsmanship, providing power and style in equal measure.
At a stunning 197’ (60m) Entourage is categorized as a superyacht, giving it the size and speed to propel it cleanly across the waves.
Entourage is powered by a hybrid propulsion system, which Damen Yachting calls “the advanced guard of a new generation of yachting.” The collaborative effort between the owner and design team has resulted in an “extremely well-optimized” superyacht, according to Espen Øino.
This maritime masterpiece is a blend of modern aesthetics and timeless elegance. Its exterior boasts clean lines and a striking profile that turns heads wherever it sails. An award-winning full-custom interior was designed by Canadian studio Burdifilek for multi-functional spaces optimized for socializing.
Entourage offers accommodation for up to 12 guests in five lavish staterooms, making it perfect for longer journeys where hopping between islands is the key goal.
Exploring Caribbean Nightlife
A Caribbean yacht charter allows you unparalleled access to its vibrant nightlife. Offering a blend of beach bars, sophisticated lounges, and lively nightclubs, Entourage makes for the perfect vessel to move between its exciting islands.
Known as the playground of the rich and famous, St. Barths offers an array of upscale bars and clubs, and guests can start their evening with a sunset cocktail at Nikki Beach, followed by a gourmet dinner at Le Ti St. Barth, and dance the night away at Le Yacht Club, all while their tender awaits nearby, ready to whisk them back to their floating palace.
The next night, why not sail to St. Maarten, an island whose nightlife is diverse and captivating, catering to all tastes. The yacht can anchor near Simpson Bay, where guests can enjoy live music at the Red Piano Lounge, try their luck at the Casino Royale, or experience the vibrant atmosphere of Tantra Nightclub & Sanctuary. The convenience of returning to the luxury of the vessel after a night out adds to the allure.
The yacht itself is designed for socializing and relaxation. The main salon features plush seating, a state-of-the-art entertainment system, and large windows that flood the space with natural light. The formal dining area, which comfortably seats 12, is perfect for elegant dinners. The upper deck sky lounge offers a more casual setting with a bar, comfortable seating, and a cinema screen, ideal for evening entertainment.
The exterior spaces of the AMELS Entourage are equally impressive. The sundeck is a highlight, featuring a large Jacuzzi, sun loungers, a bar, and a barbecue area, making it the perfect spot for daytime relaxation and evening cocktails.
Beginning at $435,000 per week, Entourage stands out as one of Moran’s most opulent superyachts available for charter.
CC-Summer is a Crown Jewel in Our Fleet
The last vessel on our list is one of the crown jewels of the Moran Yacht & Ship charter fleet—a megayacht without peer. The epitome of opulence, comfort, and innovation, this 312’ (95m) vessel, designed by the esteemed Harrison Eidsgaard, embodies the pinnacle of nautical engineering and design, perfect for exploring further destinations such as the Mediterranean for weeks at a time.
CC-Summer accommodates up to 20 guests in 10 luxurious staterooms, including a lavish master suite, three VIP suites, and six guest cabins.

Each stateroom is meticulously designed with the finest materials, ensuring a comfortable and indulgent experience for every guest.
Interior without Peer
The interior of CC-Summer, crafted by Laura Sessa, is a masterpiece of modern luxury. It features a harmonious blend of contemporary design and timeless elegance, creating a serene and sophisticated atmosphere. The yacht boasts a spacious main salon with panoramic windows that offer breathtaking views of the sea. Plush seating areas, exquisite artwork, and state-of-the-art entertainment systems provide the perfect setting for relaxation and socializing.
With children’s playrooms, massage and wellness suites, as well as extra rooms for chefs, au pères, and security personnel, CC-Summer lets you truly travel in comfort, ease, and unmatched maritime style.
Aside from having all of the same facilities and amenities as a superyacht, a megayacht like CC-Summer can also apply for special passenger licenses, allowing them to accommodate more than 20 guests at the same time, with crew numbers matching those of small hotels, with Michelin-star trained chefs, masseuses, beauty therapists, dive instructors, and personal trainers.
Functioning as a home-away-from-home, this vessel rivals any luxury cruise experience. A charter that allows you to truly go anywhere and do anything, with charters beginning at 1.6 million euros per week.
Enabling you to travel the Mediterranean with ease, from Spain to the French Riviera to Croatia and beyond, CC-Summer allows you to live as you travel, with a master suite featuring a full office with lavish dark wood inlays and comfortable sitting and meeting space, allowing you to work as you travel.
