About EJ Yachts“Elizabeth is second to no one in her industry! I knew everything was going to be perfect even before we stepped onto the boat. Her attention to detail and ability to truly understand her clients set her in a league of her own. Truly an amazing trip!”
Repeat Charter Client
“This was our first charter, and Elizabeth made the entire process easy from start to finish. We’ve been on some incredible trips, but my whole family agrees this was the best experience we’ve ever had.”
First-Time Charter Client
“I’ve owned and operated boats myself, and Elizabeth was dialed in on every detail. She set expectations clearly, prepared my guests well, and facilitated a smooth charter from start to finish.”
Yacht Owner & Charterer
“Because Elizabeth was a captain herself, she understands the little nuances that make the difference between a good charter and a truly magical one. She sets the crew up to really shine, and our guests’ experiences are better because of it.”
Charter Chef
“Every time we step on board, I feel pure happiness. Elizabeth has a beautiful way of understanding what makes a trip feel special, and she brings so much care and joy into the entire experience. I’m always so grateful for her guidance and everything she does for our family.”
Repeat Charter Client
“We charter often, usually on short notice and during peak season, and Elizabeth always delivers. She asks the right questions, knows exactly what works for our family, and we trust her completely.”
Repeat Charter Client
“Her talents lay in leadership... I have seen her... lead a scuba diving adventure for six, dock a 112ft boat in a tight slip, and replace a 50lb electric converter in the bowels of a yacht single handedly. The world needs more Elizabeths.”
Charter Yacht Owner
“Elizabeth is... an essential member of our team. She manages the many details behind the scenes that make LUCKY LADY run smoothly and successfully... [and] elevate the entire program.”
Charter Yacht Owner
“There aren’t many charter brokers who’ve actually been captains themselves, and it makes a big difference. Elizabeth understands the job from every angle, which makes her easier to work with and makes charters run better overall. I wish there were more brokers like her.”
Charter Captain
“She has been a consistent support in problem-solving [and] placing excellent charter clients... Elizabeth is patient, organized, and would be a strong asset to any vessel seeking charter representation.”
Charter Chef
"EJ Yachts has been a lifesaver for me. From setting up a charter program to finding captains on short notice, Elizabeth has been incredibly helpful every step of the way. Her knowledge is strong, she’s well-connected in the industry, and she’s extremely personable and straightforward. If she says she can do something, she does it—cheerfully and without any drama."
Owner & Charter Guest
The cost varies greatly depending on the yacht’s size, age, and destination, but rates for luxury superyachts generally start around $50,000 per week, excluding taxes, fuel, and provisioning costs.
The A.P.A. (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is a standard sum paid in advance, typically 35% of the charter fee, used to cover all variable expenses during the charter, such as fuel, food, beverages, dockage fees, and local taxes. At the end of the charter, any unused funds can be used to tip the crew and/or refunded to the client.
During high season, we recommend booking six to twelve months in advance, especially for high-demand areas like the Mediterranean summer or Caribbean winter and for the most sought-after yachts. The earlier you inquire, the more options you’ll have.
Fuel is covered by the Advance Provisioning Allowance (A.P.A.), not the base charter fee. Fuel costs are calculated based on the yacht’s actual consumption during the charter.
Gratuity is voluntary and based on your satisfaction with the service. Standard industry practice is 10% to 20% of the base charter fee, given directly to the captain at the end of the journey for distribution among the crew.
