Hi, our website is mystyachtcharters.com/ and or you can email us info@mystyachtchartesr.com Honestly most yachts we book start at 45ft and up, but I would be happy to point you in the right direction if we can't help

I would suggest upgrading to at least a Lagoon 450 or bigger. The oldest cheapest boats, around 45ft, start at 15k a week. If you were much cheaper, you could get business, but many people think 38ft is too small.

I want to buy a Leopard 43pc to live on and do day charters only. I live on st Thomas and would be based out of here. Would it be hard for a management company to keep me booked 4 to 5 days a week during season?

Catamarans 45-62 feet are what sell out the most and hit 15-20 week. Power yacht and bigger yachts plan on fewer charters.

Forgot to add that we can convine the week charter with day charters like sunset day cruises Thank you

Seriously there's no way a non local yacht manager will do better in hiring the right crew or keeping a close eye on them than a local yacht manager. Is the owner part of the crew selection? From the owners view how can you assure as a yacht manager that the captain and the crew are doing the right job like keeping the yacht clean, providing great service to clients and the maintenance of the yacht. Is the owner if he is local part of his duties? Thank you

@@lamancha7066@lamancha7066 Hi, for the San Diego marketing, I would contact InterPac Yachts; they are the experts there. Tell them I referred you - Candice

The yacht broker deals with all retail questions. An analogy is like in real estate, all your questions go to the real estate agent.

Yes, you can make money on a boat at that price with the right management and the right crew. I would still say that it's best to buy it for yourself, not as an "investment" that you expect to appreciate in value. There are also many tax incentives that you can take advantage of them would help the numbers to work.

@@mystyachtcharters thanks for your reply .. i would not buy a yatch just for myself i'm not rich enought ... but i could paid a 400k-500k boat cash .. let say i give it to you under your management & what kind of profit do you think in average after all the expenses i could do every years (sorry for my english i'm french)

BVI is the best market.

It's not age-specific. It's the crew that has been doing it for too long and gets too comfortable in the job that they can't take advice and become less accommodating and set in their ways. For instance, I once had a crew tell my clients that if they wanted to stay at the beach bar after 9pm, they needed to get a random ride back to the boat or find a water taxi because they needed rest. This crew was young but clearly "past their prime" and too comfortable in their job stability and relationship with the owner.. They seemed to have forgotten that it was "the client's boat for the week," and they work for the charter guests and are on their schedule. On the flip side, I have had crew tell guests that the chef gets up at 7, and they're not allowed to touch the coffee maker themselves even though they wake up at 5:30/6 am. This crew had a full booking calendar but again forgot that they were working for the guests for the week.

@@ProYachtie I see. Familiarity does indeed breed both complacency and contempt. Although I can certainly see that crew members are there for the guests and should provide great service, I wouldn't tolerate a work environment as seemingly demanding as the picture painted by this description. 5:30am-till late evening/whenever the guests are done is a bit much. It seems these folks are ran like rented mules and expected to smile and suck it up.

Softer than normal season but still the best place to base your yacht in the Caribbean

@@mystyachtcharters Thanks for your reply! 😎

@@mystyachtcharters what yacht style has the highest % of weeks booked?

Catamarans in the Virgin Islands always do the most charter weeks of any type of yacht, anywhere in the Caribbean@@mylifeonthebeach

@@mystyachtcharters Do the charter companies end up discounting pricing when the markets softens as you say, or do they protect their pricing at all costs. Wondering how competitive it gets when the economy gets weaker.

If youre looking for simple and easy in any business realm you're chasing a dragon.

Yes, it's called a "cabin charter" or "by-the-cabin" charter. It's usually 6 double cabins each with a private bedroom and bathroom, and a two-person crew.

Belize is a challenging location to run charters, I believe (and I'm not an expert on this) that you need to pay a full import duty to run charters there, which is why you see a lot of older yachts in Belize, and no one is just there for one or two bookings.

We are a broker and "charter manager". Not a yacht manager. This means we manage the charter booking calendar, but we do not hire the crew, to the yacht accounting, or registrations.

Glad you liked it!

Hi John, Glad you like it! First of all, buy the yacht for yourself. A yacht salesperson could discuss potential charter revenue at different price points. The charter market is the strongest for catamaran in the BVI and power yachts in the Bahamas/Florida

@@mystyachtcharters Thank you. I'm retiring in 4 years and would love to live on a boat for a few years and do charters. I've got a lot of research to do.
