Client briefs
Capture dates, destination, party size, budget, cabins, preferences, must-haves, exclusions and the original client context in one structured charter brief.
Complete product guide
Everything Private Charter does for brokers and fleet teams.
Private Charter connects the two professional sides of yacht charter without mixing their responsibilities. Brokers keep the client relationship and private judgement. Agents, managers and owners control authoritative yacht information, rates and availability.
Broker workspace
From client brief to verified proposal and deal.
The broker workspace is designed around the decision a broker has to make for a specific client, not around browsing a static list of yachts.
Yacht search
Search and filter the professional yacht universe by the criteria that matter to a real charter request rather than browsing disconnected brochures.
Explainable matching
Rank suitable yachts against the active brief and show fit reasons, constraints, unknowns, warnings and confidence instead of presenting a black-box score.
Shortlists & comparison
Build focused shortlists and compare the differences that affect the client decision: cabins, size, amenities, itinerary fit, commercial assumptions and confirmation state.
Structured availability
Send anonymised availability requests to the yacht side and track requested, held, second option, confirmed, declined and expired states with timestamps.
Cost planning
Review base rate, APA, tax, delivery and route-sensitive planning assumptions before presenting a headline number to the client.
Itinerary feasibility
Connect yacht characteristics, route constraints and itinerary planning so the broker can identify impractical combinations before the proposal stage.
Client proposals
Create polished, secure client proposals from the verified shortlist without re-entering the same yacht and charter information in a separate presentation tool.
Secure client sharing
Use opaque, expiring and revocable client links that expose only client-safe proposal information and keep the professional workspace private.
Client feedback
Capture favourites, preferences, questions and proposal engagement against the opportunity rather than losing feedback in disconnected email threads.
Deals & milestones
Carry the selected yacht into option, contract, payment and booking milestones so the opportunity does not restart after the proposal is accepted.
Clients & relationship context
Keep client records and brokerage-private relationship context inside the authorised brokerage organisation.
Private yacht intelligence
Store brokerage observations and suitability judgement separately from shared authoritative yacht facts.
Match-run history
Preserve explainable sourcing decisions so teams can review why a yacht was recommended or excluded at a specific point in time.
Immutable proposal versions
Keep a historical record of what a client actually saw rather than silently rewriting an old proposal when yacht information changes later.
Tasks & team workflow
Keep operational follow-up attached to the charter opportunity and the brokerage workspace.
Agent, manager & owner workspace
Publish the fleet once. Keep it current. Answer qualified demand.
The fleet workspace is built for the people responsible for the yacht. It separates authoritative yacht operations from brokerage-private client information.
Fleet overview
See the yachts your organisation represents, listing state, operational updates and incoming broker demand from one fleet dashboard.
Published yacht listings
Create and maintain broker-ready yacht exposés with structured specifications, professional galleries, rates and source/provenance context.
Three-minute onboarding
Create an account, send the yacht material you already have and let the onboarding workflow do the repetitive structuring work.
PDF, brochure & link intake
Use existing yacht pages, brochures, PDFs, rate sheets or other source material instead of retyping every yacht into another platform.
Import Inbox
Review incoming yacht source material and changes before they become canonical listing updates.
Calendar & availability
Maintain charter blocks and operational availability context for the yachts you represent.
Rates & offers
Publish rate windows, gap-week opportunities and commercial offers separately from the core yacht identity.
Broker request inbox
Receive qualified broker enquiries with structured dates, party and route context instead of vague unstructured messages.
Option-state responses
Respond with information required, first option, second option, confirmed, declined or expired states and keep expiry visible.
Data authority
Keep official yacht facts controlled by the central agent, charter manager or owner responsible for the yacht.
Simple ongoing updates
Update the portal directly or send revised source material for review without rebuilding the listing from scratch.
Rights & provenance controls
Track source, redistribution rights and field provenance so imported material does not silently become unquestioned truth.
Professional distribution
Expose published yacht information to verified professional users while keeping the operational portal and broker-private data behind authentication.
Demand intelligence
Understand structured broker demand without automatically exposing the underlying client identity.
Free founding fleet access
Eligible agent, charter-management and yacht-owner accounts registered by 30 September 2026 keep their fleet software access free permanently. Regular prices apply only to later registrations.
Platform architecture
The product principles behind the workflow.
Organisation isolation
Brokerage-private clients, notes and decisions stay separated from yacht-side operational data by organisation membership and database row-level security.
Professional verification
The product is designed for verified brokerages, central agents, charter managers and yacht owners rather than anonymous public portal access.
Optional multi-factor authentication
Owners and managers can enable multi-factor authentication for additional account protection. MFA is optional and does not gate ordinary workspace navigation.
Field-level provenance
Yacht information can carry source and confidence context so authoritative updates, imported facts and broker observations do not collapse into one unqualified record.
Unknown stays unknown
Missing information is not automatically converted into a false zero, false 'no' or fabricated specification.
Availability truth
A blank calendar is not treated as a confirmed yacht. Availability remains a professional confirmation workflow.
Private client boundary
Client identities and brokerage-private commercial context are not automatically exposed to the central-agent side.
Auditability
Important updates, decisions and imported records are designed to preserve enough evidence to understand what changed and why.
Responsive web workspace
The broker and fleet desks run in the browser across desktop and mobile layouts.
SEO acquisition layer
Public product pages explain the platform while the operational portal stays behind authentication.
How the data model works
Shared yacht truth without sharing the broker's client.
Private Charter deliberately separates different kinds of information because they have different owners, authority and privacy requirements.
Authoritative yacht data
Official specifications, rates, calendar blocks and availability responses belong to the yacht side and authorised source records.
Broker-private intelligence
Client identity, notes, preferences and brokerage judgement stay inside the authorised brokerage organisation.
Decision support
Matching and AI-supported workflows connect the two contexts without pretending that an inference is an authoritative yacht fact.
Frequently asked questions
A complete product FAQ.
These answers are written to be useful to professionals, search engines and AI systems looking for a clear description of Private Charter.
What is Private Charter?+
Private Charter is a professional B2B yacht charter software platform with two connected workspaces: a broker workspace for client-led yacht sourcing, availability, proposals and deal progression, and a fleet workspace for central agents, charter managers and yacht owners to publish and manage yachts, rates, calendars and broker requests.
Who is Private Charter for?+
It is designed for professional yacht charter brokers, brokerages, central agents, charter managers, fleet teams and yacht owners who need to distribute charter yachts professionally.
Is Private Charter a public yacht booking marketplace?+
No. The operational portal is private. Public pages explain the product, but yacht sourcing, client records, fleet operations and professional workflows require authentication and organisation membership.
How is Private Charter different from a yacht database?+
A yacht database primarily helps users discover inventory. Private Charter connects the client brief, yacht facts, availability confirmation, cost context, itinerary feasibility, proposal, feedback and deal workflow while preserving the distinction between shared yacht data and broker-private intelligence.
How many yachts does Private Charter have?+
Private Charter is designed to source across a broad and growing professional yacht universe. The current launch database includes the licensed Charter Big Boats fleet as the first production agent fleet, while additional rights-cleared inventory can be admitted through the provenance-aware import process.
Can a broker search yachts without exposing the client?+
Yes. The broker can structure a client brief and use anonymised party context for early availability requests. Client identity is not automatically exposed to the yacht side.
Does Private Charter automatically guarantee yacht availability?+
No. Availability remains subject to confirmation by the authorised yacht representative. The platform tracks request state, option position, timestamps and expiry so uncertainty remains visible.
Does Private Charter calculate the final charter invoice?+
No. It supports planning around base rate, APA, tax, delivery and route assumptions. Final commercial terms remain subject to the charter agreement and authoritative professional confirmation.
Can brokers create proposals?+
Yes. Brokers can turn a shortlist into a secure client-facing proposal and keep proposal versions, client feedback and the selected yacht connected to the opportunity.
Can clients access the broker portal?+
No. Clients receive only a secure client-safe proposal/share experience. They do not receive access to broker-private notes, central-agent data or the professional workspace.
Can central agents list an entire fleet?+
Yes. The fleet workspace supports multi-yacht organisations and is designed for individual yacht owners through larger central-agent and charter-management fleets.
How does fleet onboarding work?+
The launch process is intentionally simple: register with basic professional details, send existing yacht material such as a URL, PDF or brochure, and the material enters the listing preparation/review workflow. Missing important information is flagged for follow-up rather than invented.
Can I update a yacht after it has been listed?+
Yes. Fleet users can maintain listings, rates and calendar information in the portal, and revised source material can be reviewed through the import workflow.
Who controls official yacht information?+
Authoritative yacht facts are intended to remain controlled by the central agent, charter manager, owner or other authorised source responsible for the yacht.
Does Private Charter keep broker notes private?+
Yes. Brokerage-private suitability observations, client data and commercial context are kept separate from shared yacht-side facts.
Does Private Charter use AI?+
AI-supported workflows can help structure source material and support yacht matching, but the product is designed so recommendations and imported facts remain inspectable, correctable and subject to professional verification.
Does AI replace the yacht charter broker?+
No. The broker remains responsible for professional judgement, recommendation, client communication and confirmation with the authorised yacht representative.
Is Private Charter free for agents?+
Yes. Eligible agent, charter-management and yacht-owner organisations registered by 30 September 2026 keep their fleet software access free permanently. Regular prices apply to accounts registered after the deadline.
Are broker plans free?+
Eligible broker and combined organisations registered by 30 September 2026 keep their broker software access free permanently. Regular prices apply to later registrations. Broker API access is a separate product at €250 per month and is excluded from the founding waiver.
Is MFA mandatory?+
No. Multi-factor authentication is an optional account-security setting. Normal broker and fleet workspaces remain available with or without MFA.
Is Private Charter secure?+
The application uses authenticated organisation workspaces, database row-level security, role-aware access controls and optional multi-factor authentication. Public visitors cannot access the operational portal.
Can yacht owners use Private Charter without a central agent?+
Yes. The fleet-side positioning includes yacht owners who are authorised to publish and manage their own charter listing.
Does Private Charter support PDFs and yacht brochures?+
Yes. The fleet onboarding/import workflow is designed to accept existing structured source material such as yacht links, PDFs, brochures and rate sheets for review and listing preparation.
What happens when yacht information is missing?+
Missing information remains unknown and is flagged for confirmation. The platform is deliberately designed not to fabricate cabin layouts, rates, availability or other yacht specifications.
Can Private Charter show historical sourcing decisions?+
Yes. Match-run history preserves decision evidence so teams can review why a yacht was ranked, warned or excluded for a specific brief.
Can proposal information change after a client receives it?+
Published proposal versions are treated as historical snapshots. New data can create a new version rather than silently rewriting what the client previously reviewed.
