Our Story · Since 2023

Why Premiere

A boutique charter house built around one belief: American travellers deserve a broker who answers on US time and knows Europe by heart.

A young house, an old-school standard.

Premiere Yachting was founded in London and has been serving private clients since 2023. We entered the market deliberately small: no fleet of our own, no pressure to fill boats, no commissions steering the advice. As an independent brokerage, we are paid the same by every yacht in our catalogue — which means the only thing our recommendations optimise for is you.

Our brokers spend each season on the water in the Mediterranean: inspecting yachts before we ever propose them, meeting captains and chefs in person, walking the marinas of Antibes, Athens, Split and Naples. When we tell you a yacht is right for your family, it is because we have stood on her decks — not because an algorithm said so.

How a charter works with us

  • Consult — a 20-minute conversation about dates, party, budget and style. We listen more than we talk.
  • Curate — within 24 hours you receive a shortlist of 3–5 yachts that genuinely fit, with honest commentary on each.
  • Confirm — we negotiate terms, verify the yacht's paperwork and crew credentials, and hold the dates with a MYBA-standard contract.
  • Cruise — a week before departure your preference sheet (food, wine, allergies, water toys, celebrations) reaches the crew. Your only job is to board.

Numbers that matter

  • Serving clients since 2023 — boutique by design, not by accident
  • 400+ crewed yachts across four Mediterranean charter grounds
  • Every yacht personally inspected before recommendation
  • Quotes within 24 hours, in USD or EUR — no hidden mark-ups
  • US line (+1 352 645 6157) staffed on American hours
Good to Know

Broker questions, answered.

Why should I use a yacht charter broker instead of booking directly?

A specialist yacht charter broker knows which crews shine, which yachts photograph better than they cruise, and where the real availability hides. We inspect yachts in person, negotiate terms, verify paperwork and protect your deposit — services that cost you nothing extra, since the commission is paid by the yacht owner in any case.

How does Premiere Yachting get paid?

The charter fee you see is set by the yacht owner, who pays our brokerage commission. You pay the same rate booking through us as booking direct — but with honest advice, negotiation and an experienced broker in your corner. Since 2023 we have built our reputation on that transparency.

Do you work with MYBA contracts?

Yes. We charter under MYBA (Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association) standard agreements, the industry framework that protects both parties — clear cancellation terms, insured deposit handling and defined obligations for owner, broker and charterer.
