PLAN YOUR DREAM YACHT CHARTER VACATION WITH THE HELP OF AN EXPERT
QUICK READ: 5 minutes
Whether you are planning your first yacht charter or have done it many times before, the insight of a professional charter broker is invaluable.
The yacht charter industry is constantly changing, and there are many variables in legalities that can make the paperwork a nightmare for those who are unfamiliar.
The advantages of partnering with a yacht charter broker are manifold, ranging from their knowledge of prime charter locations, access to the most sought-after yachts, and ability to secure the best prices and discounts to their understanding of specific country regulations,
The best part is that you do not pay for their services, as they make commissions on the yachts. So, there is really no reason not to give yourself this extra security of having an industry professional on your side.
This is what you get when working with a Charter Broker:
✔️ Expert, unbiased, client-centered service:
We prioritize our clients’ needs over our inventory. Our goal is to match you with the ideal yacht that fits your preferences and requirements.
Happy clients often become repeat clients and provide positive feedback. Just look at our 4.9 rating on Trustpilot.
✔️ Access to a huge selection of yachts:
Our brokers have access to a wide range of yachts all around the world, including exclusive and high-demand options not readily available to the public.
We also have the negotiation skills necessary to secure the best deals and amenities, often at a more favorable price than you could obtain on your own.
Furthermore, we can arrange for customized amenities and extras, such as special dietary requests, water toys, and event planning.

✔️ Inspect yachts and meet crew:
Our brokers actively participate in yacht shows to personally inspect yachts. They meet with captains and crews, assess yacht conditions, and note features that will best meet our client’s needs.
Their personal sailing experience is invaluable, helping them know exactly what to look for.
✔️ In-depth knowledge of destinations and itineraries:
We do not only thoroughly research the yachts we offer but also the charter areas they sail.
Our team includes experienced sailors who have sailed the areas we charter, either working on yachts or in private cruising.
We also visit these areas and communicate with captains and crew to gather detailed information on everything from weather patterns to hidden gems and the best dining spots.

BVI Crewed Yachts
We recommend either chartering a catamaran or a motor yacht for your crewed yacht charter vacation in the British Virgin Islands. Why? The water in the BVI is very shallow, which greatly limits accessibility for deep-drafted yachts.
“We have seen a growing demand for luxury motor yachts among high-end charter guests.”

This vacation of a lifetime was not possible without Louis Lamprell of DMA Yachting. When I began my broker search, I reached out to several and Louis was the first to respond (and he responded quickly!). He devoted a lot of time in helping us select a catamaran that best suited our family needs. He stayed in touch before, during and after our charter. To me, that says a lot about Louis‘ commitment to exceptional customer service. Our family of 4 adults and a child had the best vacation. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. THANK YOU LOUIS!

Louis was great from beginning to end and walked me through the whole process. He helped me find a great boat that fit within our time and cost preferences. He explained the differences between the different builds and the pros and cons. Once we selected the boat, he explained and walked me through the whole booking process, and answered all my questions. Finally, he checked in with me before, during, and after the charter to make sure everything met our expectations and addressed any concerns. I can’t recommend Louis enough if you are planning a charter and will definitely be in touch for our next trip!

After some disappointments using one of the larger charter companies, we used Louis at DMA to help us select a yacht for a week trip in the BVI. We ended up selecting the ADEA which met our needs well, had an outstanding crew and provided a truly memorable experience. Louis was helpful at each step; narrowing down potential boats, selecting a boat, managing payment and then answering questions prior to departure. He checked in several times during the trip, but since the original selection was done well, there were no issues that needed resolution. Finally, after the trip he followed up to better understand our experience so that he could continue to pair customers with the right experience. Great Experience for first brokered charter. Would recommend Louis at DMA and use him again in the future.

I met Louis Lamprell, at DMA Yachting through a Google search inquiry for a charter in the BVI. I was impressed with his immediate follow-up via phone call, text and email. Louis spent hours on the phone with me understanding our expectations of our family trip. Since we had never booked a charter, he put our mind at ease throughout every process. He found us the perfect match on a charter in the Bahamas. Louis made sure to connect with the Captain on our questions to make sure there was nothing that did not exceed our expectations. Louis was always available to us for any questions or concerns. He even arranged an e-foil rental on our behalf so that I didn’t have to spend time looking. His services were very professional, honest and exceeded our expectations.
