When you charter a yacht, you can provide your own crew or you can hire a crew for the duration of your charter. The size of the yacht will dictate the number of amenities available on board, but most yachts come equipped with basic amenities like beds, a bathroom, and a galley. For instance, the Toy Box II comes with 3 staterooms with en suite bathrooms for each, a 5-star galley and choices of entertainment including a variety of sports leisure equipment and even an Xbox gaming system with a flat-screen and audio system.
