Does booking through a broker cost more?

No. You pay the same charter fee whether you book through us or directly with the yacht’s central agent. Our commission is paid by the owner out of that fee, the same way a travel agent is paid by the hotel.

What you get for it is someone on your side: a shortlist from the whole market rather than one fleet, the contract checked, the APA account read, and a phone number that answers if something goes wrong mid-week.
