It depends on the type of charter you choose. If you are planning to captain the yacht yourself (a bareboat charter), you will typically need to have some sailing experience and/or a boating license. Most yacht charter companies will require you to demonstrate your sailing skills and knowledge before allowing you to take the helm. If you prefer not to captain the yacht yourself, you can opt for a crewed charter, where a professional crew will handle all the sailing and maintenance for you. In this case, you don't need to have any sailing experience.
