A luxury motor yacht moored in a harbour at sunset, its hull catching the last of the light

Est. 1998 · Crewed charter specialists

The sea, reserved entirely yours

Twelve crewed superyachts from 28 to 42 metres, sailing out of Monaco, Palma, Athens and Antigua. No other guests. No fixed schedule. Your chef, your skipper, your itinerary — from the first morning espresso to the last anchorage under the stars.

The Fleet

Three hulls, three entirely different seas

A motor yacht built for harbour nights, a sailing ketch that heels and hushes, and an explorer that goes where the marina maps stop. Every hull in the Ocean Elite fleet is commercially coded, fully crewed and maintained to class by our own technical team.

Aurora

Six suites, a glass-edged infinity pool on the sun deck and a beach club that folds open to the waterline. Aurora is our flagship — the yacht we send when the brief is simply the best we have.

Serenità

All the silence of sail without surrendering an inch of comfort. A carbon rig pushes Serenità past fifteen knots with the engines cold, and a retractable keel lets her tuck into anchorages the motor yachts motor past.

Ice-classed, 5,500 nautical miles of range and a tender garage built for real toys. Borealis is the yacht for guests who would rather anchor off an uninhabited fjord than queue for a berth in Portofino.

On Board

The part the photographs never quite manage

A crewed charter is not a hotel with a view. It is a household that runs at sea — chef, sommelier, stewardesses, engineer, dive master and captain — all of them working to a schedule you change on a whim.

01

A chef who plans the week around you

Every Ocean Elite yacht sails with a head chef trained in a Michelin kitchen or a Relais & Châteaux house. Menus are drafted after a call with you, provisioned at the next port, and rewritten whenever the market offers something better.

02

Wellness without a schedule to keep

Sunrise yoga on the foredeck, a therapist aboard for two or four hours a day, cold plunge and steam on the lower deck. Masseuse and beauty therapist are included on Aurora and available on request across the fleet.

03

Toys, tenders and a dive master

Seabobs, eFoils, wakeboards, towables, two tenders, jet skis and a full dive store with a PADI-qualified instructor. Gear is inspected and re-certified before every charter — you will never be handed a leaking regulator.

04

Cinema on the foredeck

A 4K laser projector, surround sound and a 200-title library, rigged wherever you anchor. We have run screenings off Capri, in the Virgins and once, memorably, in a Norwegian fjord with the aurora as a second screen.

05

Shore days that aren't on a coach

A private vineyard in Provence shut for the afternoon, a cliffside table arranged before you arrive, a helicopter standing by to lift you to a restaurant the yacht cannot reach. Our shoreside team books all of it.

Charter Rates

Three ways to take the water

Published rates are per week in high season for the whole yacht — not per cabin. Fuel, food and berthing sit in a separate provisioning account, so nothing arrives as a surprise at the end of the trip.

What sits outside the rate

Fuel, food and beverages, berthing, shore power, local taxes and gratuity run through an Advance Provisioning Allowance, typically 25–35% of the charter fee and settled against receipts.

Minimum duration

Seven nights in high season (June–September in the Mediterranean, December–April in the Caribbean). Three- and four-night charters are available in shoulder season and for day charters from $9,500.

Payment & security

A 50% deposit confirms the booking, balance due 30 days before embarkation. Payments held in escrow until the charter agreement is countersigned. Bliss Coins offset up to 30% of the charter fee.

Custom expeditions

Antarctica, Svalbard, Raja Ampat and the Sea of Cortez are arranged as bespoke voyages with repositioning and specialist crew quoted on application. Allow 90 days to plan.

None at all. Every Ocean Elite yacht sails fully qualified and commercially coded, with a licensed captain in command throughout. Guests are welcome on the helm whenever the captain judges the conditions safe — most people take a turn at the wheel on their first afternoon.

Yes, within reason. The captain sets the final routing for safety and to respect local berthing reservations, but day-to-day anchorages are yours to change. Guests routinely ask for an extra night somewhere and get it.

Children are welcome on all three hulls, with age-appropriate life jackets, guardrail netting where requested, and crew briefed on the family routine. Non-swimmers are equally fine — tenders, guided snorkelling and pool time cover the day without anyone having to get into open water.

Peak weeks in the Mediterranean and over the Caribbean New Year sell out nine to twelve months in advance. Shoulder season can often be arranged inside six weeks, and we hold a small number of short-notice slots for existing guests. If your dates are fixed, start the conversation early.
