Things to Consider When Choosing Your Boat
Before you book, ask yourself the following:
How long is your trip? Longer trips need more comfortable cabins and amenities.
Are you traveling solo, with a partner, or group? Sharing trips are great for solo travelers. Private charters are ideal for couples or families.
What’s your budget? From backpacker-friendly boats to full-service luxury yachts—there’s something for everyone.
Do you prefer privacy or socializing? Choose between private charter or sharing trip options.
Do you get seasick easily? Larger boats like Phinisi are more stable on the waves.
