  • Simply share your client’s travel style and key details. This information fuels our process, leading to the perfect fit with our award-winning yacht vacation matchmaking.
  • Communication is the key to a satisfied client.
  • You are working with my company, earning the “Charter Professional of the Year Award” 

The more we know, the better we can serve you and your clients.

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, corporate retreat, etc.)
  • Budget range based on 4 nights to a full 7 nights/8 days.

The more we know, the better we are able to 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 do all the communication with the client) to 7.5%.
