04 — How it works

Booking with Yachtco

  1. Search any dates

    Every boat shows its charter company's weekly price, discount included, and the weeks that are free.

  2. One enquiry, live-checked boats by mail

    Send one enquiry and about five minutes later a shortlist arrives — each boat checked live with its company — then route ideas for your area.

  3. Book with the full cost in view

    Charter price, obligatory extras, payment plan and deposit, each shown separately. A real option is placed with the company and you receive the offer as a document.

  4. Sail with someone on call

    Questions about check-in, the weather or a change of plan go to a person who knows the boat and the base.

05 — The price

The full cost, in the same order on every yacht

You never pay more than the charter company's own published price, and a Yachtco discount may take a little off. Bank transfer is charged at the quoted price; card payments add 5 %. There is no booking fee.

Every yacht page breaks the week down the same way: the company's price, its discount, the final price, then the obligatory extras, the payment plan and the deposit. Payments go to Blackbird One Ltd., trading as Yachtco.

Questions

Before you book

The questions we are asked most. Anything else: write to us — a person answers, within the working day.

Write to us
Is the price on the card the price I pay?

It is the charter company's own weekly price for that week, with the company's discount already in. On the yacht page the obligatory extras payable at the base, the payment plan and the refundable deposit are listed beneath it, so the total is in view before you book. Nothing is added by us.

Do I need a licence?

For a bareboat, yes — a sailing licence recognised in the country you sail in, and in most countries a VHF certificate. Without one, choose "with skipper": a skipper of ours joins you on the yacht you pick, and the card already shows the price with the skipper in.

What does "live availability" mean?

The free weeks come from the charter companies' own systems and are checked again with the company when you enquire or book, so a boat offered to you is one the company confirms is free.

How do I pay, and to whom?

By bank transfer at the quoted price, or by card with 5 % added. Payments go to Blackbird One Ltd., trading as Yachtco; the company and banking details are printed in every payment document. Each payment is confirmed by a document.

Can my week start on a day other than Saturday?

Often. Each boat's company sets its own check-in rules; a dated search shows only the boats whose rules allow exactly your stay, and we never move your dates.

Where would you like to wake up?

Pick a sea, pick a week. Every yacht is free when it says it is, and costs what its company says it costs.
