yacht


My fiance and I are considering getting married in Tahiti. We want to charter a yacht and stay on it for 7 – 10 days. It will be just the two of us

I have heard that you can charter a yacht complete with captain and small crew. Does anyone know how to go about this, what the cost is, if it’s worthwhile?

We’re also open to other destinations if anyone has a good idea. Some we’ve discussed are Greece and Spain.

Thanks for any information!
