Two people face a pricing structure built for six. Charter is quoted per yacht and per week, so a couple on a four cabin boat pays exactly what a group of eight pays for the same seven days. That single fact shapes every sensible option for couples, and it points at two quite different answers depending on what you want from the week.
The whole boat, and what it really costs two people
The Moorings prices its charters as a 7 day charter for 2 and publishes from $3,284 in the British Virgin Islands, on a page running to $49,584. That lower figure is the entry to having a yacht to yourselves for a week. It is not a per person price and there is no couple's rate: you are buying the boat, and the cost per head is simply the boat divided by two.
The smaller boat, which is the obvious move and not always right
A two cabin yacht costs less than a four cabin one, and for a couple the second cabin is storage. But small boats are also the oldest in most fleets, and a 32 to 36 foot monohull in a Mediterranean August is a warm and cramped place to spend seven days. The usual sweet spot is a mid size monohull that is newer rather than the smallest hull available.
Couples sailing holidays by the cabin, which halves it again
Buying one cabin on a boat somebody else is running is much the cheapest way for two people to sail for a week, because the yacht is split between several couples. You lose the route, the anchorages and any privacy beyond your own door, and you gain a skipper, company and a price that no whole boat charter can approach. For couples who want the sailing rather than the seclusion it is the better deal by a wide margin.
Honeymoon yacht charter: what actually matters
A honeymoon charter is not a distinct product and no company in this record prices one. What changes the week is a crewed boat rather than a bareboat, because somebody else cooks and clears, and a cruising ground with anchorages rather than town quays. Sunsail's approximate BVI figures run from about $3,500 for a low season bareboat monohull to about $10,000 for a high season four cabin catamaran, and a crewed boat sits above that range.
