How yacht charter consolidation works

Just like seats in the airline market, revenue from an unsold yacht charter is lost forever. Airlines realised that selling late availability discounted seats directly to customers can cause friction with passengers who paid full price, so they feed their low-price tickets through third parties, known as ‘consolidators’.

We do not work with small fleet operators (because if a boat is damaged they may not be able to provide a replacement) or operators who we know have poorly equipped or badly maintained boats.

If you do not see what you want on the site this does not mean it is not available, so please contact us and let our experienced team help you find the perfect offer.

The prices listed on our website are typically bareboat prices i.e. the entire yacht for the period, regardless of the number on board, however some of the offers we have are available on a flight inclusive basis, and are priced per person.

 

How to book

You can use the search engine on the home page to search for charters, our Deal Finder tool to compare dates, destinations and prices or you can Request a quote.

Once you contact us about a charter, we will talk through the yacht’s details, such as age, equipment, and any supplements. Once you confirm you are ready to go ahead, you will need to pay a deposit to secure the charter. The amount of deposit and final payment terms are determined by the operator and we will advise you.

 

After booking

You will have access to a secure section of our website where you can see all your charter documents and you can submit your crew list and proof of competence. We will be your points of contact pre-charter and our staff will answer any questions.

When you arrive for the charter, you will be treated in exactly the same way as those who have booked directly with the operator, irrespective of the price paid. After you finish your charter, we will send you a short feedback form so we can check how you got on. This is vital and helps us track the standards and service delivered by our operators.
