How chartering works
Dates, group, destination and budget, by form, WhatsApp or a quick call.
Two or three yachts that fit, with brochures, rates and a sample itinerary.
We hold your favourite at no cost while your broker confirms availability and the final rate, then we send you the charter agreement.
Preference sheet, menus, toys and route, agreed with the captain and chef.
Your broker stays reachable during the charter and after you step ashore.
Why Kinetic
As a boutique brokerage, every charter and every sale gets a broker's full attention.
Charter, sales and on-board experience behind every recommendation.
We tell you which yacht fits your group and budget, and which one doesn't.
Maintenance, management and your next charter: we stay on call.

ReadGuide
The yacht, the crew and insurance, plus how the APA covers the rest.
ReadSummer season in the Mediterranean runs May to October (July and August are busiest). Winter in the Bahamas and Caribbean runs November to April and peaks over Christmas and New Year. Shoulder weeks mean fewer crowds and more choice.
Most charter yachts are licensed for up to 12 guests, whatever their size. For larger groups we can pair two yachts cruising together.
Under the usual MYBA or AYCA contracts, the rate covers the yacht, the crew and the owner's insurance. The APA (food, drinks, fuel, dockage; typically 25–45% of the charter fee), taxes/VAT where applicable and crew gratuity are extra.
The Advance Provisioning Allowance, typically 25–45% of the charter fee, is paid on top of the charter rate to cover fuel, food, drinks and dockage. The captain accounts for every expense and refunds any balance at the end. Your broker confirms the amount for your yacht.
Three to six months as a rule; six to ten months for Christmas, New Year or July and August in the Mediterranean. The most sought-after yachts book up to a year ahead.
The chef and crew handle all provisioning, guided by the preference sheet you fill in before the trip. It is paid from the APA.
Usually, yes. The route is flexible as long as the captain considers it safe with the weather, distances and local rules.
Yes, there is no minimum age, and many yachts are ideal for families. Tell us your children's ages and we will suggest the right yacht.
Almost every yacht has Wi-Fi; we confirm the details with the captain. Check with your carrier for mobile coverage in your cruising area.
A yacht can follow the sun: the captain adjusts the route, and a rainy day in port is a chance to explore shops and restaurants ashore.
Share your dates, group size and destination, and a broker will get back to you personally.
