Weekly boat rental: sailboat, catamaran or yacht for a tailor-made charter
Nothing compares to the freedom of spending several days at sea on your own boat. Renting a sailboat, catamaran or yacht for a week turns your holiday into a real adventure: wake up in a new anchorage each morning and end the day in a secluded bay, a charming harbour or enjoying dinner in the cockpit as the sun sets. Whether you're an experienced sailor ready to take the helm yourself, prefer to sail with a professional skipper, or dream of a luxury yacht with a full crew, SamBoat offers thousands of boats available for weekly rental across the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and destinations around the world. From Corsica to the Balearic Islands, from Croatia to the Grenadines, create the itinerary that's right for you. Whether you're travelling with family, friends or as a couple, a week-long charter is the ultimate way to experience life on the water.
The comfort and space of a catamaran. For families and groups, a weekly catamaran rental is the ideal option. Stable at anchor, with spacious cabins, a large saloon and forward trampolines, a catamaran offers plenty of room to relax and enjoy life on board. It's the perfect choice for spending several days at sea without compromising on comfort.
The authenticity of a sailboat. A weekly sailboat rental is the ideal choice for sailing enthusiasts. Taking the helm, sailing close-hauled and dropping anchor in places larger boats can't reach make a monohull the perfect choice for crews looking for an authentic charter experience, powered by the wind. With or without a skipper, you can sail exactly the way you want.
The luxury and elegance of a yacht. For an exceptional experience, a weekly yacht rental combines premium comfort with outstanding service. On board a motor yacht or a maxi catamaran with a full crew, skipper, hostess or private chef, every detail is taken care of, leaving you free to relax and enjoy your time on the water. It's the perfect choice for a birthday celebration, honeymoon or an unforgettable holiday with friends.

The owner was very flexible and was able to accommodate our individual requests. Unfortunately, the included fuel only allows you to drive in a limited area. Otherwise, the boat was in great condition!…

An absolutely brilliant time with Hanni and team! We were so well taken care of, and felt able to ask for things, and to make suggestions on the day. Nothing was too much for Hanni and our amazing skippers ...
