Standing plans

Three ways to keep an office on call.

Most clients start with a single charter. Those who spend real time on the water usually move to a standing plan, because the good boats and the good berths are gone by spring.

01No retainer

Single Passage

One charter, seen to properly.

For a family taking a week or two in a season. You get the same office and the same standard of preparation as everyone else — we simply work charter by charter.

  • Two or three vetted yachts put forward, not a list
  • Contract, escrow and APA handled by our Monaco desk
  • Provisioning and preference brief taken before boarding
  • A number that answers, from departure to disembarkation

02Retainer on request

Season Berth

The summer held open for you.

For principals who take several weeks between May and September. We hold options across the water you use, keep berths in the marinas that matter, and plan the season in January rather than June.

  • Options held on preferred yachts before the season prices
  • Berths reserved in Piraeus, Capri, Porto Cervo, Ibiza and Hvar
  • Chef and crew continuity across separate charters
  • Shoreside houses and islands offered alongside the yachts
  • Date changes absorbed by us, not passed to you

03Word of mouth

Home Water

Both seasons, and the boat you may end up buying.

For families who live on the water most of the year, or who are moving from chartering to ownership. Summer in the Mediterranean, winter in the Caribbean, one office across both, and honest counsel when a purchase starts to make sense.

  • Mediterranean and Caribbean seasons under one calendar
  • Permanent crew placement and payroll taken care of
  • Yard, refit and survey relationships on the Adriatic coast
  • Standing tender, toy and dive programme moved with you
  • Quarterly review of what you are actually using

Reasonable questions

Asked often.

If yours is not here, write and ask. We would rather answer it now than have you find out in August.

How do you take on new clients?

We take on new clients slowly, mostly by word of mouth. There is a conversation — we ask how you like to be on the water and who you travel with, and then we say whether we are the right office for it.

What does a retainer cover?

Time and holding power — the options, the berths and the planning we do before you have committed to anything. It is credited against charter fees within the same season.

Do you take commission from owners?

Sometimes, and we disclose it in writing before you sign. Where a yacht pays us, you will know the figure.

How far ahead should we speak?

For a July week in the Cyclades or the Balearics, by January. Shoulder months and last-minute weeks are often possible with a fortnight's notice.
