I would say a con was if your chartering your yacht you would not be able to keep your clothes on board in the master suite unless their storage for it to be taken to

Very nice video. I found the VAT and other things when the owner uses the yacht most interesting.

[@fishtigua]

My old Boss put us up for charter, but only to people he knew and would probably have as guests anyway. Strangers could sod-off.

[@Buddy869-z9x]

That’s the way to go. I can’t imagine opening up my private space to be used by just anyone.

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

I tried my hand at chartering for 2 years with my first yacht but couldn't be bothered after that. Too much hassle, little profit, insurance problems and in the end I couldn't enjoy it whenever I wanted. Now instead of one superyacht I just keep two smaller yachts, one in the Med/Caribbean and one in the Indian Ocean.

Could you please finally do a video on how to become a superyacht captain in 2024 or some tips for a youngster wanting to follow this path? Thanks!

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)

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Great idea. 💡

[@lgriestra]

Great advice.

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.

Amazing, to the point, straight forward information Tristan. i will definitely use your services when I purchase my yacht! Keep up the fantatic work, you are a great example of an experienced seaman.

[@ralphvanthoff]

Why would a yacht owner cancel his bookings? Just block the weeks that he would like to use it privately and you’re sorted as long as he books them commercial.

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Yes I agree, in a lot of cases charters are booked months in advance and the owners might not know their own personal schedules months in advance. What I’m saying is that if your schedule is flexible then it works well but if you decide that you want to go onboard next week and the yacht is booked then you can’t use it. So chartering can take away your own usage if you want to be able to use the yacht with short notice.

I had no idea that those standards were for vessels in commercial use only, I’d always thought that it was a GT, LOA thing. So does a private vessel have to comply with PYC standards if it’s only going to sleep 30 friends of the owner? Cheers

[@1JRW1]

So then it becomes illegal to use your own yacht without a charter contract? Could you still have more than 12 guests when you use it for your own?

[@alancostin3225]

Excellent!

[@cliff9258]

Just out of curiosity, when are you going to purchase your own yacht? I’d like to see you at the helm again, for me that was far more interesting.

[@justwayne4785]

I think that’ll have to wait until he reaches a Billion subscribers.

[@allenkimmitt1606]

Tristan enjoy your channel and videos, just one unsolicited suggestion, if I may; the large monitor in the background of this video 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.

[@Malaki420]

There is No volume with this video

[@MrBertHeylen]

Are you still sailing?

[@Sailaquanimity]

Interesting

[@stormtrooper9404]

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 😏

[@regatta2k]

The WB (White Balance) of this video is way too warm. It's uncomfortable to watch. Cheers.
