The Global Travel Collection (GTC) has announced that the typical value of a yacht charter booked through its services has climbed to $40,000, reflecting a rise in demand among hotel clientele seeking private sailing experiences.
According to GTC, this increase in average booking value is attributed to a growing number of hotel guests opting for yacht charters as an extension of their travel plans. The company noted that this trend is particularly prominent among travelers looking for exclusive and personalized leisure activities.
“We are seeing more hotel guests inquire about and book yacht charters, often as a complement to their stay,” a GTC spokesperson stated. “The privacy and flexibility offered by yachts are appealing to clients who want a unique and memorable experience.”
GTC’s data shows that the $40,000 average booking value encompasses a range of yacht sizes and itineraries, with some clients choosing multi-day voyages and others selecting shorter excursions. The company highlighted that bookings are not limited to any specific region, as clients are reserving yachts in destinations worldwide.
The spokesperson added, “Our clients are interested in a variety of destinations, from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean and beyond. The ability to customize their journey is a significant factor in their decision to book.”
GTC also reported that the trend is being driven by a mix of leisure travelers and corporate groups, with both segments seeking the exclusivity and tailored service that yacht charters provide.
