Talk:Yacht charter

This is just one small aspect of a much larger subject about boats as well as about charters. You can also hire or rent a boat, and that may not be a charter, because, as I understand a charter, the person that owns the boat charters both the boat and some crew (generally including the owner). A charter can also apply to a bus or an aircraft; a taxi could even be considered a charter, (though the short duration of most journeys is a mitigating factor). As I think of a charter, I envisage a fully equiped vessel or vehicle, probably with an experienced crew, to assist. It need not just be a yatch but could be a fishing boat, dive boat, or a form of land or air transport. You could participate in the crewing, etc, or just sit back and let the chartered crew do all the work. The charter though implies exclusive use, without uninvited "guests". -- (WT-en) Huttite 19:01, 19 May 2006 (EDT)


 * I'd suggest making this just a section in a larger Yachting topic. (WT-en) Jpatokal 21:57, 19 May 2006 (EDT)
