"We had a wonderful week sailing in South Brittany in mid-September this year. We were a crew of eight aboard a Feeling 44 which we chartered through Inter Yacht Charter. From the planning stage early in May we received the most helpful professional attention from Jeremy. Every query I as skipper, raised with him from bedding to lifejackets to airport pick-up, he arranged with calm efficiency. We were collected at Nantes airport as he arranged and delivered to the yacht. His local Agent at Arzal Philippe, on the Vilaine estuary was most helpful and everything turned out precisely as Jeremy had planned for us. We sailed into the most beautiful places. From Arzal to Port du Crousty and up the Morbihan Sea to Vannes, south then to La Belle I’sle and ended up the Vilaine river at La Roche Bernard where you may catch us enjoying ourselves in the crew photograph on our last night in Brittany. It is a lovely place for a sailing holiday. Thanks to Jeremy and his team for putting the excellent infrastructure in place."
Tom Tonge, Rathmines Dublin - Brittany September 2009"Just wanted to say: thanks very much for organising the boat for us. Everything went smoothly - so smoothly I've already been sailing again! Can only recommend also the skipper!
Best, Tina"

Filip Dohnálek and Friends, Prague, Czech Republic - Ibiza, August 2009"It was two weeks of a great adventure! Days were incredibly sunny but it is nothing odd in Greece! Nights full of falling stars made us whish to come back in the next summer. The boats were ideal for our group, we had a great time resting aboard or exploring forgotten islands and bays that nobody was before! This is the delight of being free to choose where you sail. Katrina's support was very usefull.
Best regards and see you soon!

President Maciej Szpot, Businessman Fun Club, Poland - Cyclades, Greece, August 2009"Most time good weather, a lot of sun, sometimes rain, all time good wind F3-6. It is some kind of adventure to sail in Estonia: The harbours are in “Ex-Soviet-Style”, big piers in the middle of nowhere. Very few boats there, but people very friendly and helpful, speaking English. WLAN (Wi-fi) in all harbours. Harbours are cheap, about 16 Euro per day for a Bavaria 49. In Happsalu we stopped for one day, and we went to sauna with view over marina from the large sauna-windows – fantastic!! All together we sailed about 260 miles in 6 days. For the owner it was okay that we gave back the boat later Saturday afternoon – very comfortable, because we have been out late in Tallinn the night before.
It was a great trip. The communication with www.interyachtcharter.com was all time very good, and really easy going, with the owner of boat in Tallinn.
Thanks for everything! John" Deutsche Anwaltshotline
Johannes Goth and Friends, Germany - Estonia, July 2009
"We are just back from our Canary Islands adventure on a bare boat Bavaria 41. The sailing in the accelerator zones was exciting and challenging. Every day there was great wind and it was a delight. The islands we explored were unknown to us before as they are the least developed from a tourist point of view. This is the delight of being free to choose where you sail. The boat was in great shape and handled well. We had good support from the team in Tenerife with check in and advice of how to tackle the weather and sailing. All problems were solved professionally and speedily and we come back missing the sun and feeling ready to sail again with Inter Yacht!"
Dr Debbie Prince of Switzerland - Tenerife, Canaries July 2009"We had a fabulous trip which will never be forgotten. It will be some time before we get all our photos together, but will most certainly send you some. Katerina was fantastic and provided lots of advice which turned out to be great. The whole process was very smooth.
The wives and girlfriends are adamant that they have the chance to come on the next trip which will require something larger. We really appreciate all your hard work trying to find the perfect boat. It was an unforgettable experience which we will be telling our grandchildren about.
Cheers, Colin & Fraser, Swashbuckler Adventures"
Colin Scarlett & Fraser Hall of Canada - Cyclades, Greece, May 2009
"It was really Fun, the average wind – 20-30kn, big waves and a lot of rain. All of us enjoy this trip and we already started to think about next vocations in 2010."
Anton Vostrikov & Friends of Moscow - Montenegro, May/June 2008 + 2009"Three trips with Inter Yacht Charter. Two trips in Caribbean Sea (2007, 2008) and this year (March 2009) in Thailand – Phang Nga Bay with famous destinations: Phuket, Ko Racha, Ko Phi Phi, Krabi, James Bond Rock, Sea Gipsy Village. Everything worked perfectly on the Bahia 46 Catamaran, Salicorne. The Yacht Charter staff at Yacht Haven Marina and the people in the restaurants and bars were extremely nice. Thailand is a sea with thousands of marvellous islands. The crew of the Catamaran Salicorne is fully satisfied."
Arpad & Milos, Bratislava, Slovakia, March 2009"I could not have asked for a better crew, boat and location. Ali, Sharrif and Naji anticipated any desire we could possibly have. Sharrif even climbed coconut trees and picked fresh coconut for us to drink, caught a turtle with his hands for us to see and baked cakes. It was truly wonderful. We hope to be back one day.
Thanks"
Costanzo Rapone & Family of Italia - Maldives, December/January 2008/09"We are all back in Cape Town after a most fantastic charter. The yacht was impeccably clean and the skipper, Dan, was fantastic. The weather was, as predicted, almost flawless and the little cloud cover from time to time was actually welcome.
We spent very little time fishing but the first hour of the first day yielded a few good sized Dorado and the first few early morning hours of the last day I caught a whopping great sail fish (pics attached) which of course rounded up the charter perfectly. The staff at the Base were all a pleasure and we have no hesitation in recommending them and particularly, Dan, our skipper.
Many thanks and regards,"
Barry, Helene, James and Lesley of Cape Town - Seychelles, October 2008
"We are just back from a wonderfull week sailing in the Bay of Pigs, Cuba - yacht booked on the net through Inter Yacht Charter. We would like to state that we had a super week - everything worked out fine - the boat was in good trim, well cleaned, provisions for a week in place, and skipper Alex was fantastic. He was a super cook (even though we hadn't paid for a cook) he was a very skilled diver and harpoonist so we had fresh fish or lobsters every single day and finally he nice talking to and kind to all - adults and children. All-in-all the best part of our three week Cuba tour!"
Henrik Rossen & Family from Denmark, Sailing from Cienfuegos, Cuba - July 2008"Thanks to Inter Yacht Charter for the very friendly support and good organization. We sailed on the Costa del Sol in Spain and it was a very pleasant experience. We didn't get the original boat we booked, but the replacement was even bigger. The marinas on the Costa del Sol are just great and the winds were strong enough to give us some excitement. And one day we could even make the experience to sail in fog with radar support. We can only recommend Inter Yacht Charter!"
Rolf, Ruedi, Felix, Graham, Jan and Jan from Switzerland - Malaga, June 2008"It was fantastic sailing such a beautiful yacht with real enthusiasts, who were at the same time relaxed and relaxing and consummate hosts. Don't miss Ilha Grande and the schooner Dalia!"
Rory & Joana Campbell, Honeymoon, Angra dos Reis - May 2008"A wonderful ten days holiday in Seychelles, despite the first three days' bad weather. Great fish (see the picture) caught by our skipper and superbly cooked by our 5 stars efficient chef. The communication with our Creole-English speaking Captain -often more Creole than English- was not always easy. Snorkelling with reef sharks and turtles (one tried to bite Maria!) in incredibily warm waters. Unfortunately in some places most of the corals are bleached."
Sergio, Maria, Osvaldo, Lorenza and Angela from Italia - Seychelles - April/May 2008"We are back from our Caribbean trip. We cross true the Caribbean sea to the islands Montserrat, Nevis, St Kitts, St Marten, St. Berthelemy, Barbuda, Antigua and back to the Guadeloupe - approximately 450 sm. Thank you for all. Everything was perfect. The boat was in super condition and the “crew” in marina base was very friendly and professional. I'm enjoying the next trip in 2009. Sincerely Arpad."
Arpad Krascenic, Milos Ceconik & Friends, Guadeloupe, Caribbean - April 2008"the skipper Josef was an easy going guy and he let me drive most of the day, except when we had some strong side winds in Sotogrande when we were pulling away. The boat was well stocked with drinks and nibbles. Weather was great. A good day – enjoyed by all."
Tim Chaney, Puerto Banus, Marbella - March 2008"Must I add that the charter in los roques was amazing!!! Everything was perfect. The boat stunning as much as the place. Thanks again for everything. An amazing holiday!!"
Emiliano Ragnini & Friends, Caribbean - December/January 2008"If we were to pen the highlights (panoramic views, turquoise seas, golden sandy beaches, fresh lobster and rum punch’s, freezing cold/wet and gloomy days [back in the UK that is, not in the sun drenched Caribbean], views coming about islands …….. ), it would be a very long message, so I’m going to keep it brief.
Everything was absolutely fantastic. The Catamaran was perfect for us in every way. Our Captain was superb and added immensely to the experience. The itinerary was spot on as were all the logistics leading up to the charter. As ‘first timers’ we could have got this very wrong but with your help and support we got it very right, making it the best ever holiday experience - our future challenge will be trying to emulate ‘Caribbean Winter Charter 2007’. Thank you very much indeed. Photo is on the way."
Dave Arthur & Simon Lavin, Caribbean - Winter 2007
"Thanks to Inter Yacht Charter for have given the opportunity of living an intense experience and Sailing around the Ionian Islands. Mythology and Adventure sailed in Harmony for our weekly Vacation."
Ada Sogne, Polaris Group, Venezia, Italia - August 2007"Many thanks to Inter Yacht Charter, for organizing my excellent family sailing holiday in Costa Smeralda/Sardinia. Boat selection and agreement was pretty easy and straight forward. All my questions were answered very promptly, all agreements adhered to. Boat itself was by-the-book prepared:
i.e. in excellent condition, on time, cleaned, fuelled, sails not too worn out with outboard as a very nice extra.
Check in and check out procedures went also without any issues. Generally, customer service of the local charter company was above what I usually experienced over my 12 years chartering history.
For example, we experienced a technical problem during the morning of our last day (broken engine Bowden cable). The problem was promptly resolved (more then 2 hour job) so we could still enjoy our last afternoon sailing. And finally, Costa Smeralda is simply a sailors heaven! It should not be underestimated though! It may blow quite hard there.
I have already and will also in the future recommend Inter Yacht Charter to my friends."
Best regards, Tibor Jochmann, Belgium - June/July 2007
"Many thanks for your help with our charter on the Costa Del Sol, on arrival in Sotogrande the owner of the charter company was more than helpful , we are a group of eight and we have been chartering together for nine years and in our experience this company has exceeded all our expectations from their courteous manner, to taking us to three local shops in his car for provisions.
The Benetau 47 was everything we expected and the one way charter was really helpful. We had excellent winds and the weather was kind to us. The charter company is expecting a volvo racing yacht in August and we are planning on returning next year and using it to travel to Morocco and we will definitely be contacting you again."
Again many thanks, yours Martyn, Costa del Sol - May 2007
"I could not just pick one photo....way too hard. Our time in February 2007 with Inter Yacht Charter was very good. Everything was straight forward and there were no last minute surprizes. The produce we ordered was superior in quality and quantity to the other 3 Caribeen based charter companies we have sailed with in the past. Communication with the French speaking captain was a bit of a challenge for our English speaking crew....but between what we both knew in language, all worked out well.
We were very prepared up front, by Jeremy so that there were no surprizes and the paperwork was already understood before we reviewed it. The communication throughout the initial agreement process was quick and clear. Our originally chartered 2007 vessel was not available (due to a manufacturer's delay), so we were offered an upgrade as per the contract. The only thing that I would recommend is to stay in one Country. We had to spend far too much time clearing in and out of customs for one weeks vacation."
Linda Koykka & Family, US - Caribbean, February 2007
"Our Bavaria 46 was not ready on 01.11 but, Jeremy assistance when needed was superb, we get Bavaria 50 for the same prize. Shortly, all eight of us sailing around Canary islands for a wonderful eight days instead of week.
I extend our warmest thanks for everything you did to make our vacation so terrifically enjoyable. The office staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The boat, was clean and very well maintained. I recommend, Inter Yacht Charter very highly.
P.S. I have chartered with a lot of companies and your customer service was by far the best I have encountered. You must enjoy your work and it show, Jeremy ,thank you again."
Krzysztof Lichwala, www.yachting.pl - Canaries, November, 2006
"We had a fantastic time and everything worked perfect. The service and the support we had was very good. We sailed along the south side of the island and spent about half time on anchorage. If we are coming back I would like to go longer distances, like Ibiza, but for now this was perfect. I will mail to you a photo, or two, from our vacation.
I do have a complaint, however. It turned out that one of the water tanks was not filled up when we arrived, so we ran out of water. This was easily fixed by going into the nearest harbor, but they had no fresh water, so we had to fill up with "mixed water" (don't know the English word) - so we felt more salty then we wanted to, for a couple of days."
A Frestad & Family, Sweden - Mallorca, August 2006
"Thanks so much for a fabulous charter. Everything was perfectly planned and it was good to feel so safe in the hands of such a great skipper. The four of us enjoyed ourselves immensely and wished it could have been longer. Swimming in deep water was just fabulous. And you have ignited a passion for sailing in at least one of our group.
We wanted to take a trip that we would all remember - IYC created a memory that we will always treasure."
The Maple Girls, Marbella - July 2006
"This charter was very much a last minute affair and we are grateful for the way you rose to the challenge and arranged things in the few days available. The boat was in good condition and hand over team on the pontoon were friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed the sailing in the Canaries and realize now that Europe does have an all year round cruising ground with a warm sunny climate and interesting destinations which appears to be largely ignored at this time of year. Perhaps yachtsmen are put off by its reputation for rowdy mass tourism and see it merely as a stepping stone to the Atlantic crossing, particularly the ARC, and do not realise what a lovely coastline and pleasant interesting sailing there is to be had there."
Robert Davies, UK - March 2006"The Trip with Joey was great experience! In every place we went we were the only (sailing-) boat. We went to lonely islands with white sand beaches and to some very nice and luxury resorts. We talked and laughed a lot in the evening while drinking a lot of beer and tanduay. We were swimming around the boat in the nighttime and are snorkeling and diving in the day time. Joey brought us save to every place we want to go and it was sometimes really hard. Up to 40 knots wind and 5 meter waves were no problem for him. when we went back to boracay he sailed 30 hours without a brake!!!
Please send him our best greets and we hope to sail with him again next time!!!"
Alexandra and Andreas, Germany - February 2006"Thank you so much Jeremy, we had a wonderfull sailing holiday, everything was in order, like check in/out, delivery from Martinique to St Lucia. I have a charter company and we could not find any missing ingredients for a perfect vacation. I definetely know that the next year we will book our winter holiday with Inter Yacht Charter."
M Ozal, Turkey - January 2006"Jeremy and IYC took care of everything for my Brothers Stag Weekend. The 2 Yachts where immaculate and the skippers where fantastic, I could not have asked for more. 8 out of the 11 of our party had never sailed before and left with huge smiles after an effortless and at times breathless weekend of sailing"
Chris Averill, We are London - 2005"We are back in Los Angeles now after having a wonderful vacation in Mallorca. We enjoyed competing and sailing the Yacht and felt that the boat and the arrangements more than met our expectations. The last evening we had a wonderful dinner with the Owner and his Wife and discussed the entire regatta. What a wonderful experience!"
Michael Shlens, Los Angeles, US - August 2005"We all had a fantastic time. The charter company were on the ball, and apart from the minor misunderstanding which you sorted out, we had no hassles at all. The skipper was awesome. Not only did he know his way around the waters, taking us to some wonderful spots to swim and chill out, but he also knew some of the best restaurants in the ports we stopped at. We can honestly say that we would not be able to recommend one change, it really was as close to a perfect holiday as we could get. I would certainly be recommending it to all who will listen. Thanks for all the effort you put into organizing the week."
B Murray, Verisign - Corfu, July 2005"Both Frank and I had a great time sailing. Thank you and we will get together again, I'm sure. Luke wants to be a skipper when he grows up and Leah never takes the shell necklace off. "
Salvaggio Family, NZ - September 2004"I first contacted IYC in 2003. My wife & I wanted a Charter in Mallorca at very short notice. We were so impressed with the complete service that we have booked a Corporate Charter for the Company this winter."
J.M. Braide, London - August 2004"There is a rare quality about Inter Yacht Charter. Their Impulsive Vitality, makes every Charter totally individual and yet seemingly inevitable."
R & S Clarke-Cox, AON, UK - June 2004"We were looking for an Exotic Island, where the weather was beautiful and we could celebrate our Honeymoon in November. The Knowledge of IYC is daunting. What these guys don´t know about Charter Yachts, ain´t worth knowing"
Mark Ford, IBM - 2003"Thanks Jeremy for making the preparations for a truly unforgettable Charter."
David & Kate, Oz - September 2003"Your interface with the “service” that you provide is so personal and thoughtful. The pace, the attention to detail, the stories, the drinks at the end of the sail… It felt too short. I never had chance to hear the 'Felix' story."
Charles Meo, The DG Group - May 2003"Hi Guys. Alison & I have had the time of our lives. The whole package was perfect. It was obvious right away you knew your business! I'm a prolific dreamer and with your help our dreams were turned into reality. The inspired confidence that you gave us about Bareboat Sailing has made us want to buy our first boat."
Jim & Alison, Canada - April 2003"I wanted to take a moment to thank both of you for the wonderful experience that you created for the MacPherson family. The Girls are madly editing the approximate 600 pictures taken to create a lasting memory. We will send you a CD within a few weeks, and you can use them in any way you wish."
The MacPherson Family, Scotland UK - August 2002"I loved the spring charter and actually meeting you. I loved all of the Sails, but especially the dolphins on the third day. You will always be in my thoughts."
Catrine, Paris - July 2002
