Do I Need a Yacht Charter Broker? Can’t I Do It Myself?

 
 

It’s a DIY world and you’re living in it! With the internet at your fingertips, what can’t you do? You can buy anything from anywhere. You can meet people from all over the world. Research financial advice, search for homes online, learn how to do something from watching YouTube, or even find love. So, why would you need help booking a yacht charter vacation when you can find all of the info online?

The Truth

Truth: yes, you absolutely can do it.

You can figure out what boats might be best based on your traveler count.

You can search destinations and what they offer.

You can find a yacht broker to rent a boat from.

You can figure out provisions.

You can plan out cruise tracks.

You can research the best times to travel for your destination.

You can search for local hotspots and not-to-be-missed sites.

You can hire a skipper and other crew, if needed.

You can plan everything. 

But why?

The beauty of a yacht charter broker: You don’t have to do it all! At Custom Yacht Charter, we have years of experience sailing around the world. We know the destinations. We know the boats. We know when to travel. We know the best spots to anchor. We have local recommendations for exciting excursions, great restaurants, and places to go that the tourists can’t follow (unless they have a boat, too!). We are overflowing with knowledge and recommendations to make this an amazing yacht charter vacation.

It’s What We Do

Service is our business. Yacht charters are our area of expertise. Vacation shouldn’t feel like work and neither should planning it! Tell us what you want (what you really, really want) and we will make it happen. Sit back, relax, and let the recommendations roll in.

  • You’ll receive a list of boats that meet your needs at various price points.

  • You’ll receive destination advice, like where should you go based on the vacation experience you want to have.

  • You’ll get advice on what cruise track to follow for your travel dates and destination, including what to see where, how long you might want to stay at each place, and how to adjust your cruise track, if needed.

  • Don’t know how to sail? We’ll get you a skipper who knows the destination like the back of their hand and will take great care of you and your guests.

  • Do you want extra crew on board, like a steward? We’ve got those, too.

  • You’ll also need provisions (e.g., food, drinks, etc.). You’ll get guidance on where to get them, what you need, and the boat’s amenities to help figure out meals, storage, and more.

Bottom Line

It sounds like a luxury, right? It is, but is doesn’t cost like a luxury! As yacht charter brokers, we earn commissions through the yacht rental companies. Not only that, but we have access to the best rates, special offers, and discounts not available to the general public. Your price, even with our small administrative fee, will often beat out any price you could get booking directly and comes with a concierge level of service that makes planning your trip as relaxing as watching the sunset from the boat deck.

You might not need a yacht charter broker, but gosh darn-it, you deserve one! We strive to make every moment of your trip, from the very start of planning to your après sail, an absolute pleasure. Come sail away with us!
