Charter Management
Your yacht earns while you’re not aboard.
As Central Agent for a managed yacht, ADY takes full responsibility for the commercial operation of the vessel — from marketing and broker relations to charter execution and financial settlement. The owner receives a yield, a monthly report, and as much or as little involvement in individual charters as they choose.
As Central Agent
Central agency means ADY represents the vessel exclusively to the global charter market. This is an active commercial role — not passive listing management. We market directly to the broker network we have built over fifty-four years, manage availability and pricing strategy through the season, and handle every aspect of charter execution.
As a MYBA member, every charter is conducted under MYBA standard contract terms — the industry’s benchmark for guest protection, owner rights, and broker conduct. Our charter management mandate gives owners access to the entire MYBA broker network, including the annual MYBA Charter Show attended by more than 570 professionals.
- Full commercial representation to the global broker network
- MYBA charter contract management — agreements, preference sheets, guest documentation
- Charter calendar optimisation and seasonal yield strategy
- Marketing via Yachtfolio, YachtCharterFleet, CharterWorld, and direct broker outreach
- APA advance management, provisional cost administration, and post-charter settlement
- Monthly charter yield reporting to the owner
- Current managed fleet: FLORI, Elena, Aegean Schatz, Aphrodite, Aurora
Charter calendar, APA balance, and booking status are available on demand through our management platform — both owner and captain always know where each charter stands.
For the Captain
ADY functions as the captain’s operational counterpart throughout the charter season. The captain focuses on the vessel and the guests; ADY handles the commercial and administrative layer.
- Preference sheet management and guest briefing documentation
- Cruising permit coordination and port clearance support for each charter
- On-call support for charter issues and guest escalations
- APA guidance — the captain always has a clear picture of where the advance stands
- Broker communication managed by ADY, so the captain is never in the middle
For the Crew
Charter season is demanding. ADY keeps the administrative side clean so the crew can concentrate on delivering the charter.
- Crew documentation managed for each charter (crew lists, port clearances)
- APA disbursement tracking — crew are never chasing costs or waiting on approvals
- Post-charter settlement handled promptly and transparently
- A direct ADY contact for crew queries — not routed through the captain or owner
