Crew Excellence and Service Protocols

Assign a dedicated Guest Concierge from embarkation to disembarkation to ensure seamless service and clear communication. This person coordinates all touchpoints and acts as the single contact when guests ask for enhancements or changes to the itinerary.

At acacia, service is built on a two-tier framework: frontline hosts who interact directly with guests and a behind-the-scenes group that supports galley provisioning, deck safety, and vessel maintenance. This structure keeps moments flowing smoothly while operations stay precise behind the scenes.

1. Staff Roles and Training
   1. Lead Host coordinates guest flow, beverage service, and excursion bookings, with a focus on anticipatory service and guest comfort.
   2. Galley and deck teams execute menus, timing, and safety protocols for every meal and activity, including tender operations and water-sport prep.
   3. michelle leads quarterly service calibration and training, using live scenarios from the current itinerary to sharpen response times and consistency.
2. Service Protocols by Shift
   1. Morning briefing on the bridge aligns the day’s plan with guest preferences, weather, and the water activity roster; staff reference the tagline as a micro-guide: “swift, discreet, well cared for.”
   2. Afternoon and evening transitions emphasize pacing, wine and canape service, and dietary accommodation, with notes updated in the pers file to reflect any changes.
   3. In all moments, staff maintain a calm voice, steady tempo, and clear sightlines; a quick bnow cue in our internal app signals a guest request is in progress.
3. Guest Engagement and Privacy
   1. Guests receive a brief privacy guideline at boarding; photo moments occur only with explicit consent, and camera use remains restricted to agreed moments or group activities.
   2. All requests flow through the Guest Concierge; they are logged and matched to the current itinerary so they can be fulfilled without disrupting the flow or safety checks.
4. Safety, Security, and Insurance
   1. Safety briefings cover life-saving equipment, muster points, and emergency procedures; drills occur at least once per charter week and are documented with checklists.
   2. Insurance coverage is reviewed before sailing and updated for any new activities; the crew conducts risk assessment for every excursion, including tender transfers and water-access points.
   3. All equipment and procedures comply with flag-state requirements; meters are checked for depth, distance, and range during water activities to ensure safe margins.
5. Dietary, Provisions, and Beverages
   1. Dietary restrictions are captured prior to boarding and verified daily; menus align with guest preferences, regional options, and provisioning cycles.
   2. Beverage service follows a structured cadence: welcome drink, mid-mreeze service, and sunset cocktails, synchronized with dining timing to avoid crowding in galley and dining areas.
   3. Shimano gear for coastal fishing and related activities is prepared in advance; if guests choose such activities, the crew ensures proper safety briefing and equipment checks.
6. Itinerary Coordination and Excursions
   1. The itinerary is managed by the Guest Concierge and Captain in tandem, with daily updates shared on a private crew board and a guest-facing summary in the cabin tablet.
   2. excursions use a reliable bote for shallow-water access; depth meters guide transfer points and anchor positions, minimizing impact on reefs and wildlife.
   3. For a week-long charter, shoreline and inland options are pre-vetted with risk profiles, and alternative plans are prepped in case of weather changes.
7. Maintenance, Housekeeping, and Standards
   1. Cleaning cycles and table-set routines follow a strict cadence: 05:30 dining setup, 11:00 mid-service refresh, 18:00 dinner formatting, with inspections logged after each service.
   2. All spaces are inspected daily for cleanliness, safety lighting, and equipment readiness; a 2–3 meter bubble around guests during service is respected in dining and lounge areas.
   3. acacia’s exterior and tender areas are checked for hull deformations or ballast issues; botes and tenders are tested for engine and steering responsiveness before use.
8. Performance Metrics and Continuous Improvement
   1. We track guest satisfaction through post-charter feedback with concrete prompts about service timing, attentiveness, and quality, using examples to illustrate strengths and gaps.
   2. Weekly debriefs summarize guest preferences, supply usage, and any deviations from plan; action items are assigned to pers and tracked to closure.
   3. We maintain a living playbook that reflects proven techniques and innovative touches, with updates guided by michelle and the crew leadership group.
9. Examples of Excellence in Practice
   1. During a tranquil evening, the Lead Host anticipates a guest’s request for a private water-view tasting; a quick route to the aft deck is prepared, the itinerary note updated, and a discreet wine pairing offered without interrupting the moment.

   3. In case of a weather change, the crew presents a revised plan within minutes, communicating options clearly and updating the guest-facing guide while keeping the original tagline in mind.

acacia sets the standard by combining precise protocols with flexible, guest-focused service. The result is a meticulously managed experience where every interaction feels intentional, every preference is respected, and every moment on water remains beautifully seamless.

Bespoke Itinerary Customization Across Top Destinations

Begin with a two-week arc anchored in three core regions–Western Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Indian Ocean–and map harbour calls around tidal windows and the yacht’s range. Work closely with michelle from our brokerage team to confirm price expectations and brokerage fees early, and lock in preferred berths.

Across top destinations, design a rhythm that blends culture, privacy, and dining. In the Western Mediterranean, anchor at discreet harbours near Amalfi, Portofino, and Mallorca, then slip into charismatic towns with early harbour slots. In the Caribbean, balance reef snorkels and vibrant markets with quiet coves. In the Indian Ocean, weave private atolls and renowned dive sites into a relaxed pace. Use news updates and satellite weather feeds to nudge departures, which keeps your plan efficient and flexible. Plan 3–5 harbour calls per region and reserve a couple of anchorages for long, undisturbed nights on the deck. Maintain speeds around 9–12 knots in light seas to maximize comfort and fuel efficiency.

Tailor the yacht sizes to pers groups, adjusting cabin configurations and deck layouts for comfort. For larger groups, select a larger yacht with extra crew and a towable tender; equip with soft gear and reels for water sports, and ensure generators are sized to meet peak loads without noise. This approach keeps every guest comfortable, regardless of port distance or sea state.

Define price tiers and spell out all fees in the contract; our brokerage network is widely respected, enabling you to compare options without pressure and to explore which options align with your goals. You’ll receive a transparent breakdown that includes port fees, permits, and provisioning margins, with options for extra services and concierge support.

Michelle will coordinate the plan and present a proposed itinerary in a gmbhtype-friendly format; you’ll see a concise timeline, map calls, and contingency options for difficult weather or port closures. We keep you informed with news from ports and regulators, and we can arrange a small bote for short harbour excursions when shore access is limited.

Onboard Luxury Amenities and Recreational Options

Choose the standard water-toy kit as soon as you step aboard: a kayak, a stand-up paddleboard, and snorkel gear stored in a custom locker behind the aft deck. This setup keeps you near the harbour for easy launch and quick returns, while the yamaha outboards on the tender deliver confident acceleration for exploring near shore. The accommodation includes a double cabin and two twins, so families and friends have privacy and enough beds, and they sleep well after a day on the water.

ayouchka coordinates watersport sessions with a clear, confident rhythm, and they ensure safety and enjoyment go hand in hand. Behind the scenes, the maker outfits custom features that suit each charter. Details cover toy storage, easy launch from the stern, and a mediterraneo palette that guides the aesthetic, with a farfalina deck mat for sunbathing. The international crew know the best routes for coastal exploration, and they tailor options to your pace and interests. They also provide a snorkel guide and ensure safety is built into every activity. The package comes with a safety briefing and a local marine guide, so you can dive straight in.

Explorer mode activates when you want a spirited day: snorkel circuits, calm-water kayak routes, and a sunset cruise along a rugged coastline. The yacht's draft stays shallow enough for intimate bays and near-harbour coves. In-cabin comfort comes from well-appointed cabins: a double and twin berths provide flexible sleeping arrangements, and the interiors are refreshed with premium linens and climate control. The crew handles maintenance and safety checks to keep transitions smooth between anchors.

Examples of itineraries: sheltered coves at dawn, a kayak stretch before lunch, a beach rendezvous, then a twilight explorer cruise. They know the best spots, coordinate with the harbour master when needed, and keep guests comfortable with shade, fresh towels, and a flexible schedule. This extra attention to details ensures guests experience a balanced mix of active options and relaxed moments aboard, every day.

Safety, Compliance, and Certifications

Verify the vessel's classification and flag status, and request a full, up-to-date certificate set before you commit, with the year clearly indicated. This baseline ensures all safety systems and regulatory requirements align with your charter expectations.

Confirm the ISM Code implementation, ISPS plan, SOLAS-compliant lifesaving appliances, and MARPOL waste management procedures. Cross-check the classification society, the flag state, the IMO number, and the last survey date. Review stability data and the draft against the deck design so the superyacht can handle the mediterraneo season without surprises.

Craft a custom safety plan for the particular itinerary, including onboard safety briefings, man overboard recovery, liferaft checks, and cross checks of deck equipment and lines. Ensure the design and placement of lifesaving gear support guest movement on both main and upper decks. Include a tagline in the safety policy that is clear and easy to understand for all guests, and show it in the cabin display.

Work with the brokerage to produce a transparent document set, including the crew roster, years of service, and wages documentation. If youre comfortable, request the crew's training certificates and a signed declaration that all safety drills occurred within the last six months. Provide a next-step timetable with fixed dates for drills and checks, and ensure bnow confirmations are received for every milestone.

For mediterraneo voyages that cross ports, verify cross-border requirements and ISPS coverage at each stop. Confirm bote registrations and weight limits, and ensure the draft is within the stated maximum when fully loaded. If the yacht uses shimano components for emergency lines or other gear, confirm ongoing maintenance and replacement schedules in the logs.

Ask for a pre-charter briefing with the captain detailing emergency routes, muster stations, and the location of every critical item: lifebuoys, fire extinguishers, first-aid kits. This briefing should be available in a written format and in a language you understand; youre allowed to request a copy for your records.

The deck crew should demonstrate the on-deck safety routine, the availability of life jackets on all decks, and the correct use of mooring lines (including Shimano-grade lines if used). The design should allow quick egress in rough seas, and the available draft margin should be shown in the stability book. The next published update should reflect any changes in equipment or wages policy and be present for guest review.

Charter Process: From Inquiry to Departure and Guest Protocols

Always confirm your dates, guest count, fore destination, and any special requests in a written brief to guide every step from inquiry to departure.

Begin with a brokerage-assisted inquiry to check availability of a crewed Azimut, compare builder and manufacturer specs, and agree on fees and delivery windows. The brokerage presents a charter party detailing the yacht, duration, base port, and included gear. Keep all exchanges in writing to prevent misinterpretations that slow delivery.

Contract and payment flow: once you approve a yacht and dates, sign a booking and place an advance deposit typically around 30–50%, depending on the operator and charter terms; the balance is due before embarkation, plus any provisioning, fuel, and dockage charges itemized in the final invoice. Request a pre-charter estimate with costs by category: crew time, insurance, and brokerage fees to avoid surprises at check-in.

Pre-charter checks and provisioning: the captain with the onboard manager (often Farzan) runs system tests, confirms lifesaving gear, underwater equipment, seabob and yamaha toys, kayak inventories, and deck gear. Verify cabin sizes in meters and configurations (twins versus doubles), ensure fitted gear matches your guest list, and confirm fore and aft access. Provide provisioning preferences two weeks ahead; confirm wine lists, dietary needs, and snack timing.

Delivery planning and embarkation: agree on a delivery window and clear handover location, typically the quay near the foredeck; the captain explains safety briefing, muster points, and emergency signals before guests step aboard. The crew reviews the itinerary, weather contingencies, and tender use rules. Expect a final check of water toys, including Seabob, kayaks, and any fitted gear, with training provided if needed, and aim for veloce handover.

Onboard guest protocols: the crew sets daily service hours, maintains high quality of service, and keeps a comfortable noise level while docked; kids receive life jackets in the fore area and are supervised near water toys. Use of underwater gear is supervised by staff; guests must follow safety rules for all toys, including speed limits near reefs and shallow zones. Safety briefings are mandatory, and the captain may adjust activities for weather, sea state, and guest safety.
