| Besides chartering and yacht brokerage we also offer a full
program of Yacht Management and maintenance - this way owning
a yacht becomes a pleasure as we handle the maintenance of
the yacht, management of the crew, accounts and supplies.
Yacht management has seen significant growth globally over
recent years, as more people turn to the marine industry in
their pursuit for leisure activities the demand for professional
management has increased.
For yacht owners who live overseas and yet keep their
boats in the Croatian area, we will take away the responsibility
of the general running of your boat as our professional
staff will care for and generally maintain your boat.
Our extensive weekly and monthly schedules will ensure that
preventative maintenance is executed reducing the chance
of major work and our staff will keep a daily eye on your
vessel and if required more regular care will be organized.
Yacht Charter Croatia also organizes crew searches and placement,
supervises refits, arranges yacht surveys and advises on
flagging registration and taxation details. Yacht Charter
Croatia offers a full package of yacht management services
to let you enjoy your own yacht without the practical concerns
of ownership. You can fully trust your yacht to our expertise,
and receive the highest level of support and professional
commitment.
As managers, we work closely with the owner and the yacht
skipper to maximize the use of the yacht and minimize the
running costs - commensurate with having a safe yacht and
an efficient and happy crew. We keep the owner and the skipper
advised of current regulations and requirements, arrange
berths, provide shore-based office facilities for the skipper,
attend to the payment of crew wages and other disbursements,
source crew as required (directly without extra charge or
via a crew agent at cost price), source parts and equipment,
liaise with shipyards and other contractors, maintain the
yacht's Certification, and generally take on the owners
responsibility for the correct operation of the yacht without
harming the owners enjoyment and without spoiling the close
relationship which naturally and properly builds between
the owner and his skipper, and without in any way undermining
the skippers absolute responsibility for the safety of the
yacht and all on board - and his authority.
At commencement, we discuss the estimated annual running
costs for the yacht with the owner and skipper, then produce
a budget and cash-flow-forecast. We receive initial funds
from the owner, and account to the owner or the owner's
accountants or office at each month end. The owner have
to pay a monthly fee to us for our services. All costs are
charged at our actual cost (except for Yacht Insurance premiums
- on which we receive a normal commission), and the owner
gets the advantage of all discounts, which we enjoy. |
