Charter Management
Charter management
Your boat earning while you are not aboard, run by people on the dock.
What management covers
- Bookings and guest handling — enquiries, contracts, payments, and the questions guests ask at nine on a Sunday night.
- Turnarounds — cleaning, laundry, provisioning, and the checks between one charter and the next.
- Maintenance — scheduled servicing and the unscheduled kind, with a yard relationship already in place.
- Compliance — surveys, insurance renewals, registration and the paperwork that goes with commercial use.
- Accounting — statements you can hand to your accountant without translating them first.
The honest version
Charter offsets the cost of ownership. Whether it offsets a little or a lot depends on the boat, the programme, the season and how much of the year you want her for yourself. Every programme differs, and returns are never guaranteed.
Charter also uses the boat. More hours, more guests, more wear, and a maintenance schedule built around a commercial calendar rather than your convenience. Owners who go in expecting a boat that pays for itself and stays showroom-fresh are the ones who end up unhappy.
Ask us to model your specific boat and your intended usage before you count on any of it. We would rather talk you out of a programme that does not suit you than sign you into one that does not.
