What type of boat is best for a yacht charter in Japan?

If you’re considering a yacht charter in Japan for your next holiday, the type of boat you choose will depend on the amount of time you plan to spend on board the vessel. If you don’t need to sleep on board and you only plan to spend a few days sailing around, we’d recommend a daily charter such as a motorboat or a RIB. For longer holidays catamarans and yachts are great vessels because they are fully equipped with the amenities you need to live on the water. Sailboats are also another great option for a longer charter however, they tend to sway on the water so they aren’t recommended for people affected by seasickness.
