Frequently Asked Questions
Is chartering my yacht profitable?
Chartering offsets the cost of ownership, and in most cases will cover the costs of crew and regular annual maintenance.
How is the charter rate determined?
Several factors may make your yacht more desirable to charter clients. Onboard amenities (a hot tub on smaller yachts, for example, working up to onboard saunas and movie theaters on larger yachts), the number of sleeping accommodations, toys and tenders that come along with the yacht, locations where the yacht charters, age of the vessel — all these elements are considered when setting weekly charter rates.
Will I still be able to use my yacht when I want?
Will I still be able to use my yacht when I want?
Yes, 26 North Charter will work with your schedule to ensure no conflicts. However, owners might wish to schedule their trips around dates that are more profitable for charter. For example, the week between Christmas and New Year’s is popular, and the yacht could command a higher fee.
What should I know about staffing the crew?
Charter yachts typically employ additional crew members to make the guest experience onboard more luxurious. Additionally, the crew is the face of your operation, so you want to ensure you have the right crew in place. (A lousy chef, for example, can ruin an entire experience.) The good news is that charter yachts attract more experienced crew (because the tips are good, and the crews of privately owned vessels don’t typically receive them).
