Thomas MerlierYacht charter broker, DMA Yachting
No. Our service is free to you. Like a travel agent, we are paid a commission from the yacht’s side, and the charter fee is the same whether you book through us or approach the boat directly. There is no markup for using a broker.
What you get for that same price: knowledge of which Balearic boats and crews actually deliver, negotiation on your behalf, route planning around your group, preference-sheet handling, and someone checking the APA accounts so every onboard charge is correct.
The one thing we ask in return is simple: pick one broker and work with them. The same inquiry sent to five brokers just means yacht managers see your name five times, and nobody can negotiate well for you after that.
