Yacht Charter in Manila | Luxury Yacht Rentals

Manila is a bayside city in the Philippines and is located on the Luzon Islands, the archipelago's most significant group of islands. It is the center of commerce, politics, trading, retail, and culture in the country. The Port of Manila is the largest seaport in the Philippines and the country's premier international shipping gateway. For yacht rentals, you can find a good number of boats available on Manila Bay, where the Port of Manila is located as well. Cruises and yacht rentals range from a 2-hour sunset or dinner cruise along Manila Bay, one day tours to nearby islands Corregidor or the province of Batangas with its beautiful beaches, or to a further destination to Puerto Galera, Mindoro, with its golf courses and white sand beaches. Overnight yacht rentals are also available, as well as a full-week to 10 days of yacht rentals that take you to further destinations.

Yacht rental prices in Manila vary depending on the boat you charter, the activities you have on your itinerary, the accommodations and facilities onboard, the number of people, and the hours used. You can take your pick from a speedboat that accommodates four people, to a sailing yacht, 47-feet catamarans, or superyachts with large open-air decks that can welcome a group of 50 guests. A day tour from Manila can cost about $800 per hour for a group of 25 people, while a dinner cruise for 2 hours can start at $50 per person. A luxury 47-feet yacht for 4 hours can set you back at $400 for 2 hours, wherein a sailing yacht for six people can cost $140/hour.

There are two seasons in the Philippines: the dry and the wet season. The wet season is between the months of June to December, where rainstorms and thunderstorms are common. The seas are at their roughest from November to January, which means these months are not ideal for yacht cruises. The best yacht charter season in Manila is between March to May, which are the hottest and driest months of the year in the Philippines. The dry season is when the sea is at its most calm in the country.

For a full-day yacht rental in Manila, you can visit nearby tourist destinations such as Corregidor Island or head to Nasugbu, Batangas. Corregidor Island is one of the most famous historical and tourist destinations in the county. It is located at the entrance of Manila Bay and is a historic site featuring military installations used during WWII. Tourists can visit war-ravaged buildings, a Spanish lighthouse, Filipino-American Friendship Park, and a tunnel. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour to get to the island, where you'll spend most of your time exploring the sites on foot. Once you return to Manila Bay, you can end your cruise with the sun setting on the vast Manila Bay horizon. For a beach getaway, Nasugbu, Batangas is a 2-hour yacht ride away. Known for its beautiful beaches, world-class resorts, and waterfalls, you can start your day early, arrive in Batangas for some sun and sand, and get back on board just as the sun sets over at Manila Bay.

For overnight yacht rentals in Manila, you can have the luxury of heading to further away destinations such as Puerto Galera in Oriental Mindoro. One of the nearest beach towns from Manila Bay, Puerto Galera is a beach destination known for its world-class resorts, golf courses, spas, and hundreds of dive spots. Puerto Galera also features its very own Yacht Club, where hundreds of yachts are anchored on its docks. Frequent sailing regattas are held here, as part of the club's efforts to promote sailing in the region. As an overnight yacht rental in Manila, you can anchor on the Bay and stay the night inside your boat, complete with luxurious cabins and fully-equipped amenities. Come morning - and you can explore the island, and enjoy lunch at any of the resorts' gourmet restaurants, before heading back to your yacht to begin your trip back to Manila Bay.

If living aboard a yacht rental for a week or longer is more your fancy, there are plenty of itineraries to choose from in Manila. With luxurious accommodations, complete facilities, an expert crew, and thousands of islands in the Philippines to explore, a liveaboard is a truly remarkable experience in this tropical archipelago. These liveaboards offer complete catering and accommodations and take you to different destinations every day. You can visit the islands of Romblon, Mindoro, and even as far as Boracay, which can take several hours to reach. Most liveaboard yachts depart from Manila Bay and end at a different location, so you can explore the Philippines even further. It is truly an exciting, one-a-kind, and adventure-packed experience.

There are plenty of wedding venues to choose from in Manila, but nothing makes it more special than a yacht rental ceremony and reception.
