Frequently asked

How much does it cost to charter a yacht with TrimTeam?
A crewed charter is quoted as one all-in price with the captain and crew included. The exact figure depends on the yacht, the season, the region and your group size. Helm shows a live quote for every yacht it suggests, and your manager confirms the final figure plus any extras before you book.
How fast do I get a price and a booking?
Helm returns live weekly prices in seconds, and a personal manager confirms the yacht and the booking — faster than a traditional broker. You don't wait days for a callback: you get a shortlist with real prices straight away, then a human closes the details.
How does TrimTeam work — is there a broker?
TrimTeam pairs Helm, your concierge, with a personal manager. You tell Helm what you want; it searches our live catalogue and shortlists matching yachts with live weekly prices and availability. Once you've chosen, your manager confirms the yacht and crew with the operator and handles the booking — one point of contact, no blind markup.
What occasions do you cover?
Birthdays, anniversaries, bachelorette and celebration days, corporate and team outings, romantic sunset trips, wellness days, first-time experiences, and event-weeks built around a festival or regatta. Tell Helm the occasion and it tailors the yacht, the route and the crew to match.
Is the yacht crewed — and do I need a sailing licence?
You choose. With a crew, a licensed captain runs the yacht — on larger catamarans and sailing yachts a host or cook joins — so you need no licence and no experience: you're a guest aboard your own yacht while the crew handles the sailing, safety and the day's plan. Bareboat, you skipper her yourself, which takes a licence and real experience and costs less. Every boat in the catalogue says which way it comes.
Where can I sail?
The catalogue covers the Mediterranean — Croatia, Greece, Italy, Turkey, the Balearics, the French Riviera, Sardinia and Corsica — plus the Canaries, the Azores and the Caribbean beyond it. Croatia and Greece have the deepest choice. Browse by destination, or just tell Helm the kind of coastline and water you want and it suggests where to base your week.
