We publish two kinds of thing. Research is where we are the source of a number nobody else publishes — with the method and its limits attached. Guides are practical: what to do at the dock, what to do when a charge lands. Everything here is free to read and free to use without our app.
Newest first. Written by the team building HandoverBoat, so we have an interest in the subject — which is a reason to check the method rather than take the figures on trust.
What to do, in what order, with what deadlines: written demand first, then escalation, then the card. Includes the fee most people trigger by going to the bank too early.
ResearchNobody in the yacht charter industry publishes deposit withholding rates. We triangulated four independent signals. Estimate: 15–25%, typically €200–800.
GuideEvery charter checklist says what to look at. This one says what each photo proves if the operator charges you six weeks later. 27 zones, 30–45 minutes.
GuideReal prices, side by side: operator waivers €200–560/week, third-party insurance €135–430/trip, annual cover ~€330. What each covers, and when to skip all three.
