Motoryacht Charters   Some yachts are used exclusively by their private   owners, others are operated all year round as   charter businesses, and a large number are privately   owned but available for charter part time. Weekly   charter fees range from a few tens of thousands of   dollars a week to nearly a million dollars a week.   This covers the wages of the crew, but not fuel, food   and drink, or other incidental expenses. Yachts from   23 metres (75 feet) and up qualify for design awards   from the Superyacht Society, but at the bottom end   of that scale yachts will not necessarily be crewed   and many set the minimum length for a superyacht   considerably higher. From around 30 metres (98   feet) and up yachts are almost always crewed. A 45   to 50 metres (148 to 164 feet) yacht, the smallest   with a generally accepted claim to superyacht   status, will usually be a three decker with cabins for   12 guests (that is a preferred number, more common   than either 10 or 14, and is found on yachts across   quite a wide size range), and for a crew of a similar size.    The accommodation on this type of yacht is typically as follows: Lower deck: exterior   swimming platform at the stern; four (sometimes five) guest cabins with en-suite bath or   shower rooms aft; engine room amidships; crew quarters forward. Main deck: sheltered   exterior deck aft leading into the salon; dining room and galley; entrance amidships;   owner's suite forward, usually includes either a study or a second twin stateroom. Upper   deck: exterior deck aft, often used for outdoor dining; second salon (often called the sky   lounge); staffed bar inside or outside or both; sixth stateroom will be amidships if it is not   on the lower deck or part of the owner's suite; gym (may also be on the lower deck or part   of the owner's suite); captain's cabin; bridge. Sun deck: on the roof of the upper deck,   often features a jacuzzi. A 50 metre yacht will have one or more luxury yacht tenders for   reaching shore and other "toys" which may include a speed boat or sailing boat, jet-skis,   windsurfing and diving equipment and a Banana boat. Up to date yachts have multiple flat   screen televisions and satellite communications.
