The Boutique
In order to provide a seamless travel experience, our Air & Hotel Concierge is standing by to assist you in making your air, hotel, and transfer arrangements to and from the yacht. Select your preferred flights, airlines, and even stopovers with our fully flexible air program as early as 300 days prior to sailing. Private jet service can also be arranged.
Flight arrangements made through The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection include an array of benefits. Should the yacht’s schedule change, your flights will be changed, and any necessary hotel overnights arranged. Additional benefits assist you in reaching the yacht in the event of a flight delay. Guests who arrange their air travel through The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection will have the yacht’s arrival and departure schedule taken into consideration, however, it is recommended that guests arrive at least one day prior to the sailing date. Contact your Reservations Services Agent or Travel Professional for more information.

If air is booked independently, guests should be mindful of the arrival and departure times for their voyage. As a general rule, arrival day flights should arrive at least four hours prior to the yacht’s scheduled departure time. Departure day flights should not be scheduled to arrive less than four hours from the scheduled arrival time of the yacht.

Arrival times will vary by voyage and the port of departure. Generally, arrival day check-in will open for guests at 12:30 PM. Guests must be on board two hours prior to departure time.
On departure day, guests will normally be asked to depart their suites by 8:00 AM, which allows the yacht’s Ladies and Gentlemen to prepare for incoming guests. Departing guests are welcome to enjoy the public areas of the yacht while waiting to depart, with most services open for their comfort. Depending on the clearance from local authorities, guests can begin to depart the yacht between 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM and must complete immigration by 9:00 AM in ports where this is a requirement.
From the yacht’s gangway, guests are guided to the terminal to identify their luggage before meeting their ground transportation.
