Where Do Yacht Charter Brokers Conduct Their Research?

Professional brokers follow a structured research calendar:

• Caribbean Yacht Shows – Held each November in the U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands.
• Antigua Charter Show – A December highlight featuring premier charter yachts.
• Mediterranean Yacht Shows – Spring and fall events in Greece, Barcelona, and Monaco.

At these events, brokers personally tour hundreds of yachts each season, building first-hand knowledge of quality, crew personalities, and guest experience.

This in-depth evaluation often uncovers details that glossy marketing overlooks. For example, a yacht may list fishing equipment, but a broker’s conversation with the captain could reveal restrictions due to deck maintenance—critical insight for clients with fishing plans.
