Luxury Crewed Charter Programs · 50 ft +

Five-star charter, owner-grade yacht.

Place a new Lagoon or Privilège with a premier crewed fleet manager, or run her yourself as an owner-operator. Captain and chef, clearinghouse accounting and access to independent charter brokers worldwide.

Two ways to run a crewed yacht

Professionally managed or owner-operated.

Either way, you choose whether to simply enjoy the management (Charter Management) or run her as an active business for the tax advantages (Boat as a Business).

Fleet-managed

Hired crew, managed for you

  • Crew recruitment, placement and payroll
  • Maintenance, compliance and base support
  • Charter marketing to the global broker network
  • Financial clearinghouse and owner reporting

Partners such as Paradise Yacht Management in St. Thomas, managing 45+ crewed catamarans.

Owner-operator

You're the captain (and maybe the chef)

  • Couples and families running their own charter business
  • Bookings and financials through a clearinghouse or charter operator
  • Live aboard while the boat earns
  • Can meet the 100-hour test for Boat as a Business

We'll connect you with captain training, licensing paths and central-agency introductions.
