CHARTER MANAGEMENT
Support in Charter
CHARTER MANAGEMENT
Our commitment is to manage the charter booking process on behalf of Owners in order to maximise their net income while respecting the Owners’ personal use of the Yacht. We coordinate with specialised agencies to place the Yacht on the charter market, manage communication activities, events and mailing lists to promote the Yacht. We do also advertise the Yacht not only on our website, but also on major specialised yachting websites, including social media channels. We handle contractual matters, receive and manage the commission on the Yacht account.
We deal with logistics and administration during the charter period and we manage the final verification of expenses chargeable to the charterer or the Owner. When acquiring a new Yacht, we benchmark her to truly assess her market value. We analyse charter Yachts with similar characteristics (builder, year, number of cabins, etc.) and take into consideration their area of activity and charter fees. We then suggest Owners homeport and charter area for the upcoming season as well as possible charter fees.
Marketing Services
We offer wide-ranging charter services and brokerage support to successfully promote the Yachts we manage. Our strong in-house Charter & Brokerage Team, together with top international specialised agencies, deliver extensive digital and print campaigns to promote the Yachts.
Retail Expertise
Our Team of experts takes at heart all of our Clients’ requests. Upon receiving an enquiry, we work hard to find the most accurate deal on the market. We listen to our Clients’ needs and requirements while scanning for possible matchings by providing a list of options.

We listen to our Clients’ needs and requirements while scanning for possible matchings by providing a list of options. In order to suggest the most accurate pair and to ascertain that the Yachts match their descriptions, our Team visits them before submitting a proposal to our Clients.
We also allow Clients to inspect the Yachts accompanied by our brokers. Once the Yacht has been selected we follow up with the charter agreement, we define their itinerary and work on their preferences form. Lastly, one of the perks of being a Floating Life Client is that you benefit of our Concierge service 24/7.
