About Private Charter
A yacht charter operating layer built around professional judgement.
Private Charter combines yacht sourcing, explainable fit, availability confirmation, cost and route context, proposals and deal progression. The broker keeps control of the client. The central agent keeps control of official fleet data. The software keeps the workflow connected.
Broker-first by design.
Private client notes, commercial judgement and brokerage knowledge remain separated from shared yacht facts.
02
Availability has states
Calendar open, requested, owner approval, confirmed, option held and expired are not the same thing.
03
One deal context
The shortlist does not disappear when the proposal is sent. Availability, itinerary, cost and milestones stay attached.
For Brokers
The workflow between the enquiry and the signed charter.
Built for the work brokers actually do: interpret the brief, decide what fits, verify the commercial reality, present it beautifully and keep the opportunity moving.
01
Explainable yacht matching
Turn the client brief into visible requirements and rank yachts with reasons, conflicts, budget position and missing information — without hiding professional judgement behind a black-box score.
Brief extractionHard requirementsFit evidenceUnknowns exposed
02
Structured availability
Send a consistent request to the yacht's representative, track the response and expiry, record owner approval or repositioning, and distinguish apparent calendar space from an actual confirmation.
Time-bound confirmationOwner approvalOptionsCA responses
03
Cost & itinerary intelligence
Compare the advertised rate with the likely charter reality. Add APA, tax, delivery and planning ranges, then test the requested itinerary against the yacht rather than drawing a route line and hoping it works.

04
Proposal to deal continuity
Create a secure client proposal, capture favourites and questions, then continue into options, contract evidence, funding milestones and readiness without recreating the file in another system.
Secure proposalsClient feedbackDeal stagesMilestones
Two-sided network
Built for the broker desk and the fleet desk.
The same charter should not require the same information to be retyped in six systems. Each side works in its own role while the structured request connects them.
How it works
Three moves from enquiry to a credible proposal.
Private Charter is designed around a repeatable professional sequence, not a collection of disconnected features.
01
Describe the client once
Capture dates, region, party, cabin logic, all-in budget, preferences and exclusions. Preserve ambiguity instead of inventing certainty.
02
Rank, compare and verify
See why each yacht fits, what is missing, what the route changes and what still needs a response from the central agent or captain.
03
Present and progress
Publish a secure branded proposal, collect client reactions and keep the chosen yacht connected to the option, contract and payment milestones.
Broker workflow
Less time assembling. More time advising.
What changes
The database becomes a decision surface
The broker sees fit, confidence, unknowns, availability status and cost implications instead of opening a listing and starting the analysis from scratch.
The email thread becomes a structured request
Dates, party, route and special requirements are sent once, while every response becomes a timestamped state that the team can actually use.
The proposal becomes part of the deal
Client engagement, yacht selection, option deadlines and readiness remain connected instead of becoming separate files with conflicting versions.
Competitive position
Designed to connect the gaps between specialist tools.
Charter Index, Ankor, Charter Itinerary and Booking Manager each solve valuable parts of the charter workflow. Private Charter is positioned around the connected brief-to-deal path: understand the request, explain the fit, verify availability, model the consequences and progress the opportunity.

Comparison reflects publicly advertised product capabilities reviewed in August 2026. “Not core advertised” means the capability was not presented as a central first-party product feature in the material reviewed; it does not mean the provider can never support it. Product capabilities change and should be reverified before formal procurement decisions.

Availability
A blank calendar is not a confirmed yacht.
Owner use, maintenance, pending options, repositioning and stale data can all sit behind an apparently open week. Private Charter models the state and the confirmation age explicitly.
Charter cost
The weekly rate is not the client's expected total.
APA, tax, delivery, fuel, berthing and route choices change the planning range. The platform keeps assumptions visible instead of hiding them behind a headline number.
Questions
About Private Charter.
The product is deliberately professional-first. It supports the broker and the yacht's representative rather than trying to remove either from the transaction.
What is yacht charter broker software?+
Yacht charter broker software helps professional brokers source suitable yachts, organise client requirements, request availability, compare options, prepare charter pricing and itineraries, create client proposals, and progress opportunities toward an option or booking.
How is Private Charter different from a yacht charter database?+
A database tells you which yachts exist. Private Charter is built around the client brief and the broker workflow: it explains why a yacht fits, exposes unknowns, structures availability confirmation, models cost and route implications, and carries the shortlist into a client-ready proposal and deal workspace.
Can central agents and charter managers list yachts?+
Yes. Private Charter has a dedicated central-agent desk for yacht and fleet listings, rate cards, calendars, availability requests, distribution controls and demand intelligence. Published fleet information remains separate from brokerage-private client and decision data.
Does Private Charter replace the yacht charter broker?+
No. Private Charter is decision-support and workflow software for professional brokers. The broker remains responsible for the client relationship, recommendation, commercial judgement and communication with the yacht's authorised representative.
Can brokers create branded yacht charter proposals?+
Yes. Brokers can move from shortlist to a client-facing proposal that combines yacht options, comparison, availability language, cost assumptions and itinerary context while keeping broker-only information private.
