Reserve your charter yacht online

The Reservation amount is 5% of the total estimated Charter Fee as calculated on our website, not including APA, taxes, or other additional fees. The minimum required authorisation amount is €2,500.

Your credit or debit card will only be charged upon the acceptance of your reservation by the yacht owner and the signing of the Charter Agreement. If your request is not accepted or the contract not signed for any reason, no charges will be incurred.

You may cancel your reservation at any time before signing the Charter Agreement; simply notify your charter consultant in writing. The amount that has been authorized on your card will be released.

To cancel your reservation, notify your charter consultant in writing. Our team will take the necessary steps to ensure the authorized amount on your credit card is released as soon as possible.

You will receive an email confirmation that your reservation has been canceled and that we have instructed for the authorized amount on your card to be released. 

The number of business days for your authorization to be released depends on the issuing bank or credit card provider.

Upon completion of the online Reservation process, you will receive a confirmation email. 

In the case that you do not receive an email confirmation within 24 hours please contact [email protected].

1. Talk with your Charter Consultant to confirm Charter Details: A Charter Consultant will contact you, using the details you provided when submitting your reservation request, to discuss the particulars of your charter, including itinerary and any special requests or inquiries that you may have.
2. Owner Acceptance: We will coordinate with the Yacht Owner regarding your reservation, confirming all charter details. Once the Owner has agreed to the charter, we will provide you with a reservation acceptance and the final cost information, based on your itinerary and preferences, to proceed with the booking.
3. KYC: IYC will request specific documentation, including proof of identity and address, to conduct the necessary Know Your Client (KYC) checks as required by regulatory authorities and financial institutions before the conclusion and execution of the Charter Agreement.
4. The Charter Agreement: Once the KYC process is complete, you will receive a Charter Agreement that specifies the terms and conditions, rights and obligations of each party.
5. Charter Deposit: Upon signing the Charter Agreement, a deposit of 50% of the total confirmed charter fee is required to confirm the booking. The Reservation amount will be charged to the credit card provided, and the remaining amount up to the 50% deposit will be due for payment. The remaining 50% of the charter fee, Advance Provisioning Allowance, delivery/redelivery fees, VAT taxes, and any other agreed charges must be paid four weeks prior to the commencement of the charter.

Your Reservation is contingent upon the Yacht Owner's approval of the charter. If the Reservation for the specified yacht cannot be fulfilled, we will  cancel your reservation and the authorised amount will be released from your card. However, your assigned Charter Consultant can work closely with you to find another yacht that could suit your needs. 

The completion of the booking process typically takes up to seven business days but this may vary. The first step for your reservation to advance is for the yacht owner to accept the Reservation request, which typically takes up to 48 hours. Your Charter Consultant will provide an initial confirmation that your reservation is okay to progress and will work with you to complete the booking process. If the Owner does not accept your Reservation request your authorization will be released, but you can work with your Charter Consultant to find different yacht options that fit your requirements.

In case a legally binding contract has not been agreed and executed within 21 calendar days from the date that you receive the confirmation email that your reservation request has been received by IYC, the authorised amount will be released.

You have the option to reserve more than one yacht online; simply visit the yacht's page on IYC’s website and complete the reservation process for each yacht that you are interested in. 

You can pay the remaining deposit fee via wire transfer. 

No. An online Reservation will place a booking request / hold on the yacht’s calendar and prioritize your request for the specific dates. The Reservation will turn into a confirmed booking once the Owner has accepted the charter request, the Charter Agreement has been signed and the full charter deposit has been paid.
