Step-by-Step Booking Walkthrough
Step 1: Submit Your Inquiry
Start by telling us about your dream charter:
- •Preferred dates and duration
- •Number of guests (adults and children)
- •Desired destination or region
- •Budget range
- •Any special requirements (celebrations, dietary needs, specific activities)
You can submit an inquiry through our website, by email, or by phone. Our charter specialists typically respond within 24 hours with a curated selection of available yachts.
Step 2: Yacht Selection & Proposal
Based on your requirements, we present a personalized selection of 3-5 yachts with:
- •Detailed specifications and photo galleries
- •Crew profiles and qualifications
- •Sample itineraries for your destination
- •All-inclusive pricing breakdown
We can arrange virtual tours, video walk-throughs, and even in-person viewings for select yachts. Take your time — our specialists are available to answer any questions and help you compare options.
Step 3: Charter Agreement
Once you have selected your yacht, we prepare the charter agreement covering:
- •Charter dates, embarkation/disembarkation ports
- •Charter fee and payment schedule
- •Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) amount
- •Cancellation terms and conditions
- •Insurance requirements
Our agreements use industry-standard MYBA or CYBA terms. We walk you through every clause and are happy to accommodate reasonable modifications.
Step 4: Payment & Confirmation
Payment is typically structured as:
- •50% deposit: Due upon signing the charter agreement to secure your booking.
- •Balance + APA: Due 4-6 weeks before the charter date.
We accept bank wire transfers, credit cards, and select digital payment methods. Once payment is received, your booking is confirmed and we begin coordinating with the crew.
Step 5: Pre-Charter Preparation
In the weeks before your charter:
- •Complete the guest preference sheets (dietary needs, activity interests, special occasions).
- •Receive your pre-departure briefing with marina directions, weather forecasts, and crew introductions.
- •Arrange transfers from the airport to the marina (we can help coordinate).
- •Purchase travel insurance if you have not already.
- •Start packing — we will send you a recommended packing list.
Our team handles all the coordination behind the scenes, from provisioning the yacht to preparing your customized itinerary.
