Quick answer

A deposit of 40–50% of the charter fee, depending on the yacht and the owner, confirms your booking. The balance is paid before the charter as set out in your contract. If you pay the deposit for a 2027 gulet or trawler by 31 January 2027, you save 10% on the charter fee.

Booking a private yacht for the first time raises practical questions: how much do I pay now, when do I pay the rest, and what exactly does my deposit secure? Here is how it works with Aren Yachting.

How much is the deposit?

The deposit is usually 40–50% of the charter fee. The exact percentage depends on the size of the yacht and the owner’s requirements, and it is always written in your charter contract.

What the deposit secures

  • Your yacht, for your exact dates and departure port.
  • Your price, fixed in the contract.
  • The crew, cabin layout and services agreed in your booking.

The booking steps

  1. We send you a quote and a shortlist of yachts.
  2. You choose; we confirm availability with the yacht.
  3. You receive and sign the charter contract.
  4. You pay the deposit – by 31 January 2027 for the 10% early booking discount.
  5. The balance is paid before your charter, as set out in the contract.

Why 31 January 2027 matters

For summer 2027, every gulet and Aegean trawler booking confirmed with a deposit paid by 31 January 2027 receives 10% off the weekly charter fee. It is the simplest way to secure the best yachts for July and August – and to pay less for them.
