HOW MANY GUESTS CAN YOUR YACHTS ACCOMMODATE?

Unlike most superyachts which are limited to 12 guests, our flagship Sherakhan is SOLAS certified to accommodate up to 26 guests in 13 luxurious cabins. This makes it the premier choice for large family reunions and corporate retreats. Sheergold and Thandeka offer more intimate settings, ideal for groups of up to 8 and 10 guests respectively.

CAN YOUR LUXURY YACHTS SAIL TO REMOTE LOCATIONS LIKE ANTARCTICA OR GREENLAND?

Yes. Both Sherakhan and Sheergold are genuine world-discovery yachts, built to thrive in the world's most challenging environments. Sherakhan is an exceptionally capable explorer vessel designed for global exploration with a massive range and steel hull. She specialises in high-latitude expeditions, offering bespoke itineraries to the Arctic, Antarctica, and French Polynesia, as well as traditional luxury seasons in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. All while comfortably hosting the whole family in 13 luxury cabins. Sheergold offers a unique 'classic explorer' experience. Her crew of nine is equally at home hosting beach lunches in the Mediterranean as they are navigating the channels of the North West Passage or the Arctic.

WHAT KIND OF SPECIALISED ACTIVITIES CAN WE DO?

Our expeditions go far beyond sightseeing. On a Dutch Charter Group charter, you can experience:

Arctic safaris: Zodiac tours through icebergs to encounter polar bears, narwhals, and belugas.

Heli-skiing: We can coordinate with specialised partners to offer heli-skiing from untouched glaciers in Greenland or the Norwegian Fjords.

Whale spotting: Canoe through the silent Norwegian Fjords as humpback whales surface nearby.

WHAT KIND OF WATER TOYS AND TENDERS ARE AVAILABLE?

Each vessel is equipped with a premium selection of toys. Highlights include Sherakhan’s massive 8-meter slide, jet skis, and specialised dive gear. Sheergold enjoys a brand-new watertoy collection that includes e-foils, Seabobs, a towable Williams jet tender, Waverunners, paddleboards, and a modular floating platform. Thandeka offers a world-class sailing experience combined with modern tenders for shore excursions.

DO YOU OFFER PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTION FOR WATER SPORTS AND DIVING?

Yes. We don't just provide the equipment, we provide the expertise. Our crews include professional instructors who can teach you to windsurf, jet ski, waterski or wakeboard. For underwater exploration, Sherakhan is a premier diving platform. She is fully equipped with professional-grade scuba gear and an onboard air compressor, allowing for unlimited diving in remote locations.

CAN I SPEAK TO DUTCH CHARTER GROUP DIRECTLY ABOUT MY TRIP?

Absolutely. We encourage an initial direct consultation with our fleet managers. Dutch Charter Group works closely with all major international yacht brokerages. Many guests find it invaluable to connect with our in-house team first. As the owners and operators of the fleet, we can provide immediate, granular details on yacht capabilities, specific crew expertise, and custom itinerary possibilities.

WHAT MAKES DUTCH CHARTER GROUP DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PRIVATE YACHT RENTALS?

We are professional yacht owners who run our fleet as a dedicated business, not as private vessels that are sometimes available for charter. This means we are always committed to the charter experience. While many private yachts have restrictive rules, we pride ourselves on making the impossible possible for our guests. Every system, crew member, and itinerary is tailored for your service, not for an owner’s personal use.

IS THE FLEET SUITABLE FOR SPECIAL EVENTS LIKE WEDDINGS OR MILESTONE BIRTHDAYS?

Absolutely. Because our yachts have a significantly larger capacity than the industry average, we are the go-to choice for multi-generational family holidays and milestone celebrations like 60th birthdays or wedding anniversaries. We specialise in creating high-impact events where the whole family can stay together.

DOES YOUR FLEET HAVE A "CLASSIC" OR "MODERN" AESTHETIC?

Our luxury yachts feature a stately, classic exterior that reflects timeless maritime elegance. However, we often find that guests who are initially hesitant about the classic look are completely transformed once they step on board. The interior scale, endless amenities, and modern capabilities are designed to impress the most discerning 21st-century traveler.

DO YOU OFFER LOYALTY PROGRAMMES FOR RETURNING GUESTS?

We have a very high rate of returning guests. Many families return to us every few years to celebrate their next big life chapter. We maintain deep records of guest preferences to ensure that when you return, whether it's two years or five years later, the experience feels like coming home.
