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.
'Bespoke' is often an overused word when describing a dedicated and personalised management service, but Christie Yachts — and Caroline Antlett as Moskito’s direct point of contact — truly embody the meaning of bespoke.Caroline provides a unique, open and highly communicative approach, ensuring not only that Moskito’s charter management and calendar are fully optimised, but that charter clients and their brokers have a dedicated, knowledgeable and responsive contact throughout the process.
Christie Yachts have been an excellent charter management partner for M/Y ALVA in her first year on the charter market. They are selective about the yachts they represent, which shows in the care and attention received, from the quality of enquiries and broker relationships to the diligent handling of contracts. Caroline brings a wealth of industry knowledge and a strong network, and works closely with the captains, crew and owner’s team to keep everything running smoothly. I would happily recommend Christie Yachts to any owner considering a charter programme.
Caroline at Christie Yachts has developed a strong working relationship with our yacht management team, captains and owners. She is professional, responsive and proactive in presenting suitable charter opportunities, whilst maintaining clear communication throughout the charter process. We work with a range of charter brokers across the yachts under our management, and Caroline is always a pleasure to work with. She has built excellent relationships with our team and works closely with our yacht management department, who provide ongoing charter operational support to our clients. Her collaborative approach, market knowledge and ability to keep all parties aligned help ensure charter programmes run smoothly and deliver the best possible experience for owners, captains and guests. We value our relationship with Caroline and the wider Christie Yachts team and look forward to continuing our collaboration across a number of yachts within our fleet.
We advise on appropriate charter rates and locations to maximize charter revenue, provide support to the owner, captain, crew, and brokers on every charter, and manage attendance at marketing and industry events such as yacht and charter shows.
We carefully listen to your chartering goals and collaborate to create a bespoke marketing strategy that highlights your yacht’s unique selling points and maximizes its charter potential.
We handle bookings from start to finish, ensuring a seamless experience. This includes detailed screening of all charter inquiries, reviewing dates, itineraries, and client details.
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.
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.
WE OFFER THE FULL 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.
