Upcoming 2024 charter boats: dive into the latest fleet

If you're craving the latest sails and a sleek hull design that glides over the water effortlessly, book one of these stunners. We've handpicked 18 exciting offerings from top shipyards.

Before we delve into the specifics of the latest charter offerings, let’s examine the pros and cons of renting a brand-new boat:

• New vessels usually boast flawless finishes. If you have a penchant for vintage charm and a few nicks and scrapes, you won't find it here. Likewise, if DIY repairs are your thing, a new boat won't offer much scope.
• The latest designs, chic interiors, and state-of-the-art tech are hallmarks of new boats. If an outdated navigation system or summer without AC is your idea of sailing, then a new boat might not be for you.
• Occasionally, a new boat might not yet have its sea legs. This can mean familiarizing yourself with it during those first moments at the dock, potentially causing anxiety for some.

Take all of the above with a grain of salt. Every charter boat should be handed over to you in perfect order. Although newer and more expensive boats tend to be given a bit of extra care by charter companies. But definitely do a thorough inspection of the boat at check-in. Refer to our complete guide to inspecting your boat at the marina.
