Charter Management (central agency)

If you purchase, or already own, a yacht which you would like to charter out - we can act as the Central Agents for the charter and manage the whole operation.

As Central Agents, we market the yacht, for charter, to other Charter Agents Worldwide through personal contacts and proactive advertising through the internet and to our database of over 5000 high Net Worth clients. We maintain the booking diary, and work closely with the owner and the skipper to ensure that the maximum revenue is obtained - whilst allowing for proper crew rest (recovery in a busy season) periods and scheduling in the owners own use. In a normal Mediterranean Summer season, we look to achieved between 50 and 100 days fully paid charter with one of the yachts under our Charter Management (subject to price, owners use criteria and other factors). 

Details of the yacht are circulated to Charter Agents, together with Crew Profiles and often sample menus and cruising itineraries. Regular updates on bookings and availability are circularised, and detailed schedules prepared for the clients as enquires are received. Thereafter, we deal with the Yacht Charter Agreements, receive the funds (as stakeholders), and disburse the monies to the skipper (for the Advance Provisioning Allowance which the charterer provides) and to the owners (the nett Charter Fee), and to the Government (for any VAT). We are on hand to ensure smooth embarkation and to attend to the last minute hic-cups which result from late flights, bad weather, full Ports and etc.

We charge a commission of five percent of the Charter Fee for this service.

The Charter Agent receives a fixed commission for selling the charter, and in the case that we sell a charter directly we charge only that fixed commission.
