Top 4 Reasons Why You Should Use a Yacht Charter Broker

Why choose a crewed yacht charter vacation? Imagine the best of all worlds, fine dining, luxurious accommodations, an itinerary tailored exclusively to your desires, and a different stunning view each day - all of which are found on a crewed charter vacation.

Thanks to Google & Bing, there’s very little you can’t find online these days. So you might ask, "Do I really need an intermediary or agent to book a crewed yacht charter vacation?" The answer is that you don’t have to have one to book a charter. However, you must keep in mind that you probably don't want to send your hard-earned sailing vacation dollars to someone floating around somewhere on a tiny island that you don't know. Consider the worry-free bonus of working with a charter company that offers fiduciary responsibility.

3. Qualified brokers can provide you with a better sense of protection for your vacation dollars and are apart of organizations that help to maintain ethical standards such as CYBA, IYBA, and MYBA. 

4. The Benefits of using a CYBA Broker: There are hundreds of charter yachts, charter catamarans, and charter sailing yachts to choose from, but how to choose? One looks just as nice as the next, but how accurate are the images?  And, what about the crew? Will they be a good fit for your fun-loving group? your special birthday celebration? your active young family? your parent's 70th birthday celebration? 

These are very important questions which cannot be answered by looking at an Internet website or browsing through brochures. You need the advice of someone who has actually seen that yacht along with many others and has met the crew so they can compare and help you find the best match. Such a person is called a Charter Yacht Broker and they can help you to navigate the waters to find your very best choice. But, just like boats, some brokers are better than others, so how do you choose the right one?

3 We engage in open dialogue with local publications to help keep the government and the public aware of this important industry in our islands.

4. We attend multiple charter yacht industry shows in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, go aboard each of the yachts, meet the crews, attend association meetings and seminars. We'll happily share our notes about changes to the boats and crews and confirm any newly added features and upgrades as well as re-fits to the boat’s decor like new carpets, interior and exterior soft goods & fun new water-toys.

5. As a seasoned charter yacht Owner & Crew, we have access to the "inner circle" and know all the insider facts.

6. We've developed a longtime friendship with vendors of services such as local taxi drivers, ferry companies, good places to stay on land, great restaurants and much more.
