RUM RUNNER

RUM RUNNER yacht available for charter. Built in 2026 with a charter price from $42,000 for up to 10 guests in 5 suites with a crew of 2.

A note from your charter specialist
RUM RUNNER is one of those rare yachts that feels different the moment you step aboard. With space for 10 guests, she works equally well for a multi-generational family week or a tighter group of friends who want every cabin to feel like a suite. In Caribbean especially, the itinerary options around her are exceptional — and the crew know every anchorage worth the detour.

The Crew

A professional crew of 2 dedicated to your charter.

Bertie
Captain

Bertie

South Africa

Bertie is a whiz in mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering, especially in the mining world, where he’s got the know-how to tackle any challenge. When he's off the clock, you’ll find Bertie living it up on the golf course, deep-sea fishing, or sailing the high seas. His love for the ocean is contagious—whether he’s scuba diving, embarking on outdoor escapades, or just soaking up the salt air. Bertie’s also a top-notch hunter who always keeps safety in mind. Last year, he and Michelle had a blast exploring the Caribbean Islands, basking in those stunning, crystal-clear waters. Bertie’s passion for sailing took off during carefree days with friends on the water, and the sea has become his happy place, where he feels right at home.

Michelle
Chef

Michelle

South Africa

Michelle spent her weekdays conquering the corporate jungle in distribution and logistics, but her weekends were a thrilling escape. She’d grab her friends and set sail along the breathtaking Garden Route coastline, with the majestic Knysna Heads as backdrop. It was on these nautical adventures that Michelle discovered her deep love for the sea. She eventually took a bold leap, leaving behind the corporate grind to team up with Bertie for a life brimming with adventure. Michelle’s flair for cooking turned into a gourmet delight on the high seas, as she whipped up scrumptious meals for their guests. With snorkelling and island-hopping becoming her daily delights, Michelle’s new life is a perfect blend of culinary creativity and oceanic exploration.

Ownership economics

What a yacht like RUM RUNNER costs to own — not just to charter

A charter week on RUM RUNNER is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 18m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
