How are Yacht Charter Brokers Paid?

One of the most important aspects of working with a yacht charter broker is understanding how they’re compensated:

• Paid by the yacht owner, not the client
• Standard industry rate ~15%
• Deducted from the charter fee (never added to your cost)
• Consistent across the industry, regardless of broker
• Focus should be on service, not price shopping

The fee structure ensures brokers can focus on finding the right yacht rather than the cheapest option.
