Would be interesting to get your take on the pro/con of private charter vs managed charter service based on size of vessel/crew. Personally my limited experience has been smaller vessels (or any) with owner/operators tend to do private charters, but I’ve seen some claims from services about offering higher returns if you contract through them (better maintained/cost absorbed, more frequent/higher charter income, etc…) Just a topic that I don’t see get a lot of public discussion (yes, I know, there are owner forums that beat this like a dead horse, but not many have direct experience on both sides of the topic)
Tristan, can you do a commentary about crew accommodation, more about what the designs should be/could be. I see many that must be horrible to live in for weeks/months at time. It seems unfair when murderers and child molesters are given better cells in jail. It must be a disincentive for older, more skilled and experienced crew, plus a reason for high crew turnover. Do the yacht designers go overboard in owner/guest spaces versus crew space? Your thoughts please. I liken a superyacht to a boutique hotel, just afloat and mobile. I used to travel a lot on business, all hotel rooms are the same, maybe some bigger or smaller but I always spent as little as possible time in the room, only to sleep, wash, dress, maybe do some work so the pool, restaurant, bar, lounge or outdoors were preferable. Surely superyacht guests are the same. Cheers.
Tristan enjoy your website and articles, just one unsolicited suggestion, if I may; the large monitor in the background of this article has movement in it and it becomes a little distracting taking away from you, perhaps a still image such as your logo might be better…. sorry don’t mean to be critical.
I just don’t get it… If I have enough money to buy and maintain a (certain size) yacht.. Then why should I charter it?!? It is literary like putting total strangers in your home, on your mattresses and couches for weeks on end for money! On the same homely and intimate furniture! That’s disgusting for me! Unless you are buying a yacht to make money of it… I don’t see any other reason to charter it! And I usually kept separate my business and my private stuff 😏
