Practically all of the professionally managed yachts available for charter today are commercially registered and for good reason. With the ongoing difficulties of interpreting and updating  legislation, it is the only method by which the  legality of the charter activity of any particular yacht can be assured.
 
Registering a yacht for commercial activity can provide an owner with a multitude of fiscal advantages. In order to be eligible for commercial registration a pleasure yacht must adhere to certain conditions, the principal of which is to perform remunerated Yacht charter. Apart from the obvious financial benefits, ( Charter revenue, de-taxed fuel and supplies, etc…), many owners realize the importance of charter - a fully occupied crew usually equates to a happy crew and a yacht that is constantly maintained to the highest standard. 

Why Charter management ?

Yachts that are privately managed for yacht charter  by their owners or captains are frequently disadvantaged. Why?

*  First and foremost it is surprising how much time and attention is necessary to confirm a period of charter, and to liaise with the client for the organization of the yachts program and provisioning requirements. Time which the owner normally has little of, and for the captain, time that he cannot allocate if he has the owner aboard,  is already  on charter, or is preparing for one.

*  Where and to whom will the yacht be promoted? – To locally based  yacht charter
brokers perhaps.  However the yacht charter client is most likely to be cosmopolitan by
nature, with his own preferences, and more inclined to address his enquiry to his yacht charter broker of choice in his country of residence, wherever that might be.

* It is certain that a number of Owner or captain managed yachts are offered for charter by bona-fide brokers. However there is a general  reluctance  by the professional yacht
charter community  to place highly valued charter clients directly in the hands of an owner who has the ambiguous position of  being both broker and owner.

* Without the owner committing to enormous personal marketing expenses, it is impossible to match the Internationally targeted exposure that a MYBA central agent can offer an owner for the promotion of the charter activity of his yacht.
