3 common misunderstandings for new boat charterers
Is it your first time to be responsible for shipbuilding? Beware of falling into these 3 common charter traps:
- Misunderstanding 1: Thinking that the rental price already covers all water activities. In fact, most basic charter rates only include the yacht itself, crew and basic facilities. If you want to play wakesurfing (ropeless water skiing), stand-up boarding or large inflatable slides, you usually need to pay extra to rent a speedboat and toys.
- Misunderstanding 2: Ignoring the huge price difference between weekends and weekdays. Weekends and public holidays are the peak season for boat rentals, and prices are often 30% or even 50% higher than on weekdays. If you want to save money, it is strongly recommended to take a day off and go sailing on weekdays. It is cheaper and does not require pressure from others.
- Misunderstanding 3: Not paying attention to the transportation arrangements at the boarding location. Hong Kong yachts are mainly embarked in Sai Kung, Central, Tsim Sha Tsui or Aberdeen. Although Saigon has the best water quality, holiday traffic is very congested. Accessibility for all participants must be considered before booking.
How to book the most enjoyable boat package?
If you want to book the most fun ship in 2026, there is only one secret:Book early! Weekend slots during the summer peak season (June to September) are usually full months in advance. It is recommended to compare the prices and facilities of different yachts on the Yacht Holimood platform at least 2 months in advance, and pay attention to the early bird discounts launched by the platform from time to time.

FAQ
What does the charter price usually include?
Generally, the basic charter fee will include: yacht charter time (usually 8 hours during the day or 4 hours at night), captain and sailor services, fuel costs (within the designated route), and basic facilities on board (such as air conditioning, stereo, refrigerator, toilet). Meals and additional water activities usually require additional charges.
Can pets be brought on board P?
Some yachts are pet-friendly and dogs are allowed on board, but an additional pet cleaning fee (approximately HK$300-HK$500/pet) is usually charged. Before booking, you must confirm with customer service whether the yacht accepts pets.
Can I get a refund if there is a storm?
If a strong wind signal No. 3 or above is hoisted, or a black rainstorm warning is hoisted, most yachts can reschedule for free. However, if it is just a general rain or thunderstorm warning, cancellation or refund is usually not allowed. The captain will decide whether it is suitable to go to sea or change a safe route based on the actual sea conditions.
Will meals be provided on board?
Most yachts do not include meals and you will need to bring your own food and drinks. However, Yacht Holimood provides a one-stop catering ordering service. Everything from party delicacies, seafood dinners to on-site BBQ packages can be arranged and delivered directly to the ship, which is very convenient.
