OUR PLEDGE IS YOUR EDGE
Our planning services, our vast first-hand knowledge and our strong relationships are complimentary assets for you, the traveler. We continue to build our high reputation and worldwide partner relationships with every client, every day. To your advantage, we do not charge separate or up-front fees for our service. We are paid by the yacht operator. All deposits you pay to secure your yacht and date are held in a secure escrow account and released to your yacht based on the terms of the specific charter Agreement you sign with the Yacht owner at the time of the deposit (by the way, we encourage you to purchase Travel Insurance when you are securing your yacht charter purchase). This transparency helps assure you of our high standards of ethical behavior and our dedication to your satisfaction. As one of the longest-running luxury yacht charter operators in the world, we recognize the importance of your satisfaction. That is how we build and maintain our reputation. Thank you for choosing Carol Kent Yacht Charters International!
