A successful charter yacht requires the coordinated efforts of the owner and crew along with a dedicated charter manager. At Christie Yachts, we understand that every charter yacht has its own unique selling points. With our industry expertise and prominent market presence, we can maximize the yacht’s charter potential, thereby offsetting owner costs, improving resale value, and maintaining crew positivity and retention, leading to an improved owner experience.

Why Charter Your Yacht

OFFSET RUNNING COSTS
Chartering serves as an excellent means to offset a significant portion of the vessel’s annual operating costs.

CREW POSITIVITY AND RETENTION
Many crew members aspire to work on a busy charter vessel due to the valuable experiences and financial benefits.

IMPROVED RESALE VALUE
A solid charter track record significantly enhances a vessel’s future resale value.

IMPROVED OWNER EXPERIENCE
You may have heard the old adage ‘ships and crew rot in port’. Whilst a little dramatic, it is undeniable that a busy crew remains well drilled and reactive. This ensures that the moment you and your own guests step on board, you enjoy the high level of service you understandably expect.

Don't Let Your Yacht Become Just A Number

Every yacht is unique and requires a bespoke approach to achieve the highest possible charter revenue.

With Christie Yachts, your yacht will not simply be a number in a vast fleet receiving minimal attention from an inexperienced charter manager. Instead, it will benefit from a tailored charter marketing plan designed for the best possible results.

A smaller fleet of top-quality yachts ensures your yacht gets the prominence it deserves. As we say, “you don’t give your Ferrari to a Ford garage to sell,” and the same holds true for yachts. By being part of an exclusive selection of the finest yachts, we enhance the perceived value of your prized asset.

Christie Yachts Promise

WE OFFER THE FULL 15% RETAIL COMMISSION TO ALL QUALIFIED BROKERS – FAIR, HONEST, TRANSPARENT.

Our top priority is to maximize charter revenue for the owner. Unlike certain other brokerage houses, we do not believe in penalizing smaller operators in our market by reducing their retail commission for our personal gain, almost always without the owner’s knowledge. Such strategies only limit how many brokers in the worldwide brokerage community are promoting the yacht to their clients. We would never place our own interests above that of the yacht and the owner. It is imperative that every broker in the market is equally incentivized to promote the yacht for charter and feels that they are treated fairly. With this strategy in place we will have every broker in the market wanting your yacht to be top of their list of preferred yachts.
