Superyacht Charter
Fully crewed superyachts with published from-rates — on Sydney Harbour, in the Whitsundays, and across the world's great cruising grounds.
Founded in Sydney, chartering worldwide from a fleet of more than 4,000 yachts.
A superyacht charter is the fully crewed end of yachting: a captain, chef and service crew run the yacht while you set the pace — a week tracing the Whitsundays, a Sydney Harbour summer, or a Mediterranean season aboard a 50m+ flagship. The term generally covers crewed yachts of 24 metres and above, and most of the fleet featured here runs from 30 to 54 metres.
Ahoy Club was founded in Sydney in 2018 by Ian Malouf with his daughter Ellie Malouf, and now charters across Australia, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the South Pacific and Southeast Asia. Head office is in Double Bay, Sydney, with a European office on the French Riviera.
What sets an Ahoy Club charter apart is transparent pricing: yachts are published with real from-rates rather than price-on-application, so you can compare actual numbers before you speak to a broker. The weekly rate covers the yacht and crew; running costs are handled through the Advance Provisioning Allowance and reconciled with receipts — what's included and how charter fees work are spelled out page by page.
