Yacht charter refers to the process of renting a motor- or sail-driven marine vessel for recreational or commercial purposes. These services are typically used for traveling to various coastal areas without owning a yacht. These privately or company-owned yachts that are offered on a rental basis consist of luxury facilities within the vessel, such as professional crews, captains, and online or on-call support. Several charter companies also furnish yachts and provide a detailed itinerary based on the requirements of their clients. As a result, they find immense applications in luxury marine tourism and recreational boating.

The market is primarily driven by significant growth in the marine tourism sector. Along with this, the rising preference for personalized services in tourism activities is providing an impetus to the market.
