In Ireland we are rather proud of our history of arranging cruises – the earliest settlers cruised here, and legend has it that some of the defenders of Troy cruised through the Mediterranean on their way to Kerry. In the 8th Century St. Brendan took a cruise to America. We offer both luxury yacht charters and luxury cruises for your cruise and sailing holidays.

At Adams and Butler we arrange yacht charters not just for holidays but also for birthday parties, hen & stag parties, and wedding receptions. Why not hire a luxury yacht for a day on your next milestone birthday party...or even book a charter for a loved one as a gift! We work with yacht brokers around the world to offer the most comfortable and best run boats in the south of France and western Mediterranean, the Aegean, the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean, and Polynesia. We can even offer charters in Britain, Ireland and The South China Seas, as well as really unusual river destinations such as the Nile, The Danube and even expedition cruises up the Amazon.
During your cruise you can anchor in countless secluded bays or pull into a variety of coastal settlements for a friendly taste of local culture. Explore local seaside cafes, graceful, unspoilt and undiscovered villages, ancient tombs, old castles, turquoise waters, and local expeditions in Ribs, tenders or Zodiacs to hidden coves and desert islands.
Our aim is to offer you the ultimate in style and comfort on privately owned yachts selected for their luxury, to offer you adventure and exploration or peace and tranquillity or maybe some of each!
Choosing Your Yacht
Questions to ask when considering the options:
• How many guests will be in the party?
• How many cabins are required?
• Where do you want to cruise?
• When do you want to go, and for how long?
• What is your overall budget?
• Are you more interested in a motor yacht or sailing yacht?
• Are there any specific facilities or requirements?
• What level of crew service, quality and luxury do you require?
Chartered Yachts range from 60' to 325' and accommodate 6 - 84 passengers in varying degrees of luxury. Yacht rates are as inexpensive as $1,000 daily for adventures for up to 6 passengers up to the highest degree of discreet and private yacht luxury for a charter party of up to 80 people at over $100,000 daily. There are traditional tall ships with four masts and lots of crew, and sleek, or fast motor yachts, some with helicopter pads and Jacuzzis on deck.
We pamper our clients and lead them step by step through the yacht selection process, describing crew, differences in yachts, cruise itineraries, food preferences, special needs, requirements for the yacht to land transfers, hotel arrangements, tours, and guides to special events and celebrations.
Types of Yacht Charters
There are 3 types of charters. With a “Bare Boat” is what it says – just the boat. You pay for the fuel and food cost, you cook your own meals. A "Capt. Only" charter is when you add a Capt. to a bare boat. A ”Crewed Charter” is one where all services are included.
