Cabin Charter vs Private Yacht Rental: Which One Is Right for You?

When planning a sailing vacation, one of the first decisions to make is choosing between cabin charter and private yacht rental. But what are the differences—and which option suits you best?

In this article, we’ll explain everything you need to know to help you choose the ideal experience, based on your travel style, group size, and budget.

What is a Cabin Charter?

A cabin charter is the perfect solution for those who want to enjoy a sailing holiday without renting the entire boat. You simply book a cabin—either single or double—on a sailboat shared with other travelers.

This option is great for:

Solo travelers or couples
Those looking to meet new people
Anyone seeking a more affordable sailing experience
People who want to relax while the crew handles everything

🧭 With Rotte Parallele, our cabin charters combine adventure, comfort, and connection—ideal for those who want to explore, share stories, and let the wind lead the way.

What is a Private Yacht Rental?

With a private yacht rental, you charter the entire boat, with or without crew. This option is ideal for families, groups of friends, or those who want the boat all to themselves.

It’s the right choice if:

You want a fully personalized holiday
You’re traveling with a group
You prefer privacy and flexibility
You’re celebrating a special occasion (birthday, anniversary, bachelorette party, etc.)

📍 At Rotte Parallele, you can book a private yacht with a professional skipper and hostess—or choose a bareboat charter if you’re an experienced sailor.
