Add comments to the comment section if needed

For example, I’m interested in sailing on yacht Columbia or I need a chef that will prepare my gluten free meals

or you can leave general comments or questions

Then click SUBMIT and start dreaming about what is to come

This information is used to find you or your group a specific type of Yacht for the dates or date range you specify

We need your Budget range along with your desired location where you would like to charter

We are also interested in the types of activities you would like to do while on charter and the charter type

We need to know if there are any and how many children and their ages: this could possibly lower the cost of the charter

The last thing you will need to do is click the SUBMIT BUTTON

This information is required for our database search

We will respond to your inquiry with several options for yachts that meet your criteria

We will provide an E-brochure in most cases for each yacht that we recommend

Then the decision is yours to make!!

Our goal is to get you the yacht that’s a perfect match for your vacation of a lifetime

The Contact Us inquiry does not cost you any money, the information you provide is only used by

Out of the Blue Yacht Charters to find you a charter yacht that meets your needs and budget

We work for you!

STEP 2-YOU HAVE PICKED A YACHT “WHATS NEXT?”

It’s time to get excited you have picked a yacht

We place a hold on the yacht with the Yacht’s Agent (Management Company) on the yacht’s booking calendar

We schedule a phone call to gather additional information from you and further explain the contract process

We discuss the activities while on charter along with some expectations

We draft the contract and review it with you

We submit the contract to you for signature, along with wire instructions and bank transfer info (Payment INFO per contract)

You sign the contract and pay 50% deposit for your charter

If charter is 6 months or longer into the future you make 3 payments

Contract is forwarded to Yacht Owner or the Yacht’s Representative for signature

Yacht is moved to a booked status on the yachts booking calendar

Final payment is made 30 days prior to charter (APA if applicable is collected)

We schedule communication and discuss travel to the boat (How to get there)

Now wasn’t that simple?  Just a few more steps and you are in Paradise

STEP 3- BEFORE THE CHARTER BEGINS “WHATS NEXT?”

You will probably get hungry telling us what you like to eat and drink.

We send you a preference form and you tell us about you and your group’s dietary needs

We want to know what food you like and what you don’t, special diets and beverage choices

We schedule a phone call to talk about expectations and answer any additional questions

We find out the status of the Yacht and inquire about transfers from the airport to the yacht

We keep you informed

STEP 4-WHAT YOU AND YOUR GROUP DO:

Your adventure begins on this day exhale and enjoy the trip.

You travel via commercial air (paid by you) to the airport closest to your yacht’s location

You make your way to the yacht via ground transportation from the airport (Usually by taxi) or a ferry

is also used in some cases

In some cases, the crew may arrange your transport from the airport to the yacht

When you arrive at the Yacht…Request Permission to come aboard…Your Paradise awaits you!!

We will be in contact with either you, your Captain or the Yacht Management Company to make sure your arrival went well

Should you have any issues, we will be available to discuss these with the Captain or Management Company to resolve all issues

Then kick back and Experience…what Out of the Blue Yacht Charters are all about!!!

STEP 5- MY CHARTER IS OVER “WHAT NOW?”

We know it’s a sad day when your charter is over and you may never want to leave.

We will be in contact with you post charter and ask you to tell us about your experience

We will be there for you when you are ready to book another charter in a different location
