Frequently asked questions

Which yacht brands can I charter with WA Yachting?

We charter yachts from the world's leading builders: Feadship, Lürssen, Benetti, Sanlorenzo, Azimut, Ferretti, Riva, Pershing, Sunseeker, Princess, Prestige and many more. Tell us the brand you prefer and we find the right yacht.

Can I choose my yacht by builder rather than by size?

Yes. Many guests have a favourite name, from a sporty Pershing to a timeless Riva or a custom Feadship. We match the brand you love with the size, layout and budget that suit your charter.

What is the difference between a custom superyacht and a production yacht?

Custom and semi-custom superyachts (Feadship, Lürssen, CRN) are built one at a time to the owner's brief. Production yachts (Azimut, Sunseeker, Prestige) are built in series, which makes them more available and more accessible to charter.

Do you charter yachts from these brands on the French Riviera?

Yes. Most of these builders are well represented in Cannes, Monaco and Saint-Tropez, which makes the French Riviera one of the best places in the world to charter the yacht of your choice.
