In order to make your private yacht and crew charter ready, there are a few things to do before you can launch your international yacht charter business. Viacolvento can help you to create and maintain a successful business:

Brochure - We will assist you with the production of an appropriate and professional brochure to promote your yacht and crew to clients.  A brochure is needed to reach your desired market niche; it contains quality photos and a professional layout increasing the charter opportunities your yacht will receive.

Agreement between Owner and yacht broker - Outlines the responsibilities of Viacolvento as yacht broker and yours as yacht Owner.  

Charter Boat Shows – Your yacht’s attendance at one of the major charter trade shows enables international yacht brokers to personally inspect your private yacht and meet the crew. It seems not so important but for a yacht broker, knowing a yacht’s crew means a lot; he will then offer the yacht with belief and knowledge.

International Brokers Association: Your yacht will be placed on MYBA.net, the largest luxury charter yacht database - available to international yacht brokers and charter brokers.  MYBA.net is where we maintain your private yacht’s master calendar, e-brochures, specs, rates, seasonal bases and crew profiles; an indispensable instrument to internationally advertise our Central Agency yachts for charter; through the Myba.net we get in touch with yacht brokers all over the world that, warranted by the association, sell cruises on our Central Agency yachts to their clients.  This is the only way to let a yacht for charter working well in medium and low season also; the Russian, the American client (or anyway a foreign client) willing to charter a yacht in Italy will not contact an Italian Agency but his agency in his country; this agency, through the Myba.net, will find the suitable yacht for this client through an Italian agency. Your yacht will also be advertised in the American circuit Centralyachtagent.com; this is also an important brokers database but it mainly works for American market whilst the Myba.net works all over the world.

Rates - Viacolvento will support you to determine the right weekly rate for your yacht’s hire continually analyzing the international yacht charter rates of vessels with similar accomodation and features.

Crew guidelines: We encourage yacht charter crew, particularly the Captain, to play an active role and use their past experiences to let guests enjoy the yacht and her professional crew. We will ask the crew to set in advance some sample itineraries and some sample menus. The Myba.net publishes the guidelines for yacht charter Captains; these are very helpful both for Captains and Owners, being a real “vademecum” and helping the crew to avoid any possible misunderstanding with clients.  

Specifications - Completed by the Captain, a list of amenities and special features are an integral part of our marketing international yacht charters.  Private yacht crew profiles are created and maintained by the Captain, and are an important tool of the booking process for both international yacht brokers and charter clients.
