We work together to get the best end result – a delighted and returning client. We start with:

  • Desired dates of travel
  • Destination preferences
  • Group makeup (family, ages of children, couples, health challenges, food focus, active or relaxing types, etc.)
  • Occasion (wedding, anniversary, family reunion, tandem to flotilla corporate retreats, etc.)
  • Budget range based on 4 nights to a full 7 nights/8 days or more.

The more we know, the better we can provide a selection of yachts and crew that are best-suited to your client.

How Commissions Work

Charter rates are based on 7 nights/8 days and vary, as do commissions: 5% (Referral fee, where we handle all communication with the client) to 7.5%.

“All Inclusive” means that food and beverages (including alcohol) are included in the charter price.
Example:  58′ ENDEAVOR Sail Catamaran: Ideal for generational families
  • Sleeps 10 Guests: King(s), 3 Queen(s), 2 Single(s), 1 Twin(s)
  • 10 Guests / $46,000 7nights/8days
  • Minimum charter length: 4 nights
    FOR LESS THAN 7 NIGHT CHARTERS:
    For 6 nights, divide by 7N X 6N. For less than 6 nights, divide by 6N X number of nights.
  • 7.5% (for 10 guests) = $46,000 (All Inclusive of food, drinks, toys on board) $3,450.00 for Travel Professionals
