Frequently Asked Questions
Arete sleeps up to 11 guests across 4 cabins, so a full crew of friends or a family group all get a proper berth for the night.
The home port of Arete is Ritter House Marina | Road Town in British Virgin Islands — you board there on check-in day and return the boat to the same berth.
A valid nautical licence is required to skipper Arete yourself; local rules usually ask for a VHF certificate as well. Hiring a licensed skipper through us removes the requirement entirely.
Weekly charter rates for Arete start from €8,561, depending on the season — early summer and September weeks are usually the best value. Check the availability calendar for exact prices per date.
Select an available period for Arete, submit the online booking and you’ll receive confirmation with all charter documents — payment is split into instalments and the price you see is final.
