Why Book a Charter Yacht Vacation Through a Charter Yacht Broker?

Dreaming of turquoise waters, secluded beaches, and a floating boutique hotel all to yourself? A charter yacht vacation is one of the most personalized, luxurious, and memorable ways to travel. But with so many yachts, crews, and destinations to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you?

That’s where a charter yacht broker comes in—and no, it doesn’t cost you anything extra to use one.

Wait—So What Exactly Is a Charter Yacht Broker?

Think of us as your personal yacht vacation advisor. We don’t own yachts or work for one specific fleet. Instead, we represent you, the guest—helping you find the right yacht, with the right crew, in the right destination. We provide expert guidance at every step, from the initial inquiry to the moment you return home.

And here's the best part: Using a broker comes at no added cost to you. We are compensated by the yacht you select, not by charging you extra fees. Whether you book directly or through us, the charter price is the same—but when you go through a broker, you get personalized service, advocacy, and insider knowledge that makes a world of difference.

We Provide You With Extra Security When Booking a Yacht

The Charter Yacht Company will not recommend a yacht or crew unless they have been thoroughly vetted and comply with proper licensing, safety, insurance, and regulations. The Charter Yacht Company and its brokers also have to follow strict industry standards and protocols, overseen by Industry Associations, which we must comply with strict licensing, insurance, and accounting requirements. The Charter Agreements are written by maritime lawyers to protect all parties. Funds are held in Escrow, with a separate neutral party acting as a Stakeholder or Escrow Agent. For more information.

We Know the Yachts & Crews—Because We've Been Aboard

Each year, we attend exclusive yacht charter shows in destinations like:

• The British Virgin Islands and US Virgin Islands

• Antigua

• The Bahamas

• Greece, Turkey, Croatia—and beyond

At these shows, we tour the yachts, meet the crews, and experience everything first-hand. We see how the yachts are maintained, taste the food, and get to know the personalities of the crew—so when we make a recommendation, it’s based on real experience, not a brochure or listing.

We Match You With the Right Yacht

Not every luxury yacht is the same. Some are sleek and romantic, perfect for couples. Others are all about family fun, with water toys, trampolines, and kid-friendly menus. Some crews are outgoing and energetic, while others specialize in relaxed, low-key service.

We take the time to understand your group, your style, and what kind of experience you’re after—then match you with the best fit from yachts around the world.

We Represent All Sides—to Ensure a Great Experience for Everyone

As charter yacht brokers, our role is unique: we represent you, the client, but we also work closely with the yacht, its crew, and the owner. We act as a trusted liaison between all parties, ensuring transparency, clear communication, and a smooth process from start to finish.

We’re here to advocate for your preferences and needs—but we also understand the expectations and responsibilities of the crew and owners. This helps us create the best possible experience for everyone involved. By working with all sides, we help avoid misunderstandings, smooth out details, and foster positive relationships that lead to better service and better charters. When everyone is on the same page, your vacation runs seamlessly—and that’s exactly what we aim to deliver.

If Plans Change, We’re in Your Corner

Occasionally, travel plans get interrupted—weather delays, mechanical issues, or unexpected hiccups. When this happens, having a broker is invaluable. We communicate with the yacht owner, the central agent, and other charter providers to help you rebook or make alternate arrangements quickly and with as little stress as possible.

We're your advocate throughout the process—especially when things don’t go perfectly.

Personalized Service, Professional Advice—No Extra Cost

As professional charter yacht brokers, we work full-time in this industry to stay current, knowledgeable, and connected. We’re here to answer your questions, provide honest advice, and ensure that your vacation is smooth, seamless, and unforgettable. And again—there is no additional cost to you for our services.
