Listing Criteria

In order to be listed on the Boatbookings.com site you need to have the following:

Full Charter Licensing for all of the waters where we promote your boat
Appropriate Skipper Certification (on Crewed Yachts)
Charter Yacht Insurance
A boat that is in excellent repair
A commitment to customer satisfaction
A willingness to work as a partner with Boatbookings.com

Please note, in order for us to list your boat, you must be either the owner, fleet operator, or Central Agent for the yacht. Boatbookings.com reserves the right to reject any application, or remove any yacht from the site at any time if the yacht is deemed inappropriate for a quality charter experience.

Operator Responsbilities

The Operator commits to strive in all ways possible for customer satisfaction. This includes full repair and cleanliness of the boat, departing on time, attempting wherever possible/reasonable to meet customer requests and needs.

Further, the Operator agrees to be aware of weather, sea, or other local conditions that may cause danger to the client, and to do whatever possible to mitigate those conditions, including adjusting the charter dates or itinerary if prudent.

Boatbookings.com Responsibilities

Boatbooking.com agrees to:

Market the yacht on the site in the appropriate categories (ports, manufacturers, types, models, etc.) and make every effort to charter your yacht
Work with you and the client on all suitable enquiries to attempt to confirm the charter
Assist with any contract arrangements, payments, and operations to get the charterer to the boat as agreed according to the specific terms & conditions applicable to the specific charter.
Provide access to the Boatbookings.com extranet for editing your boats and viewing reports

Data Entry Fees vs Use of the Extranet

The one time set-up fee for each yacht is €25 in order to defray data entry costs. This fee is payable by credit card upon approval of the supplier's application.

The fee is waived if Operator agrees to utilise the Boatbookings.com Extranet to load and manage their availability calendar (provide real time availability) or if we can connect to a real time calendar and pull the live availability into our site.

The Boatbookings.com Extranet is a web-based tool that allows you to manage all aspects of marketing your boat on Boatbookings.com. You can enter specs and descriptions, images, specials, pricing, and real-time availability. Putting a boat on takes no more than 10 minutes, updating it less than one! We even provide templates for common production boats, so that you don't have to enter all of the specs yourself.

Once you are approved as a Boatbookings.com Charter operator, you're given a login, and you're up and running in a matter of minutes.
