Charter management program

MARINA ZADAR base – Sunturist Charter d.o.o.

Our charter management program is designed for yacht and boat owners who wish to generate a reliable and long-term income from chartering, without the operational and administrative burden. Through professional yacht management, we ensure maximum utilization of your vessel throughout the charter season while maintaining high technical standards, market competitiveness, and guest satisfaction.

As part of our charter management services, we take full responsibility for the organization and execution of yacht charter operations. This includes international and local marketing, reservation management, guest communication, and the coordination of check-in and check-out procedures. Each yacht is managed individually to achieve optimal booking levels and strong performance in the charter market.

Continuous maintenance and technical reliability are essential for successful charter operations. Our experienced team ensures that every vessel is regularly serviced, professionally cleaned, and carefully monitored, allowing the yacht to remain in excellent condition and retain its long-term value. Well-maintained yachts achieve higher charter rates and deliver a superior experience for guests.

The financial structure of our charter management program is based on transparency and clearly defined cooperation terms. Yacht owners receive regular reports on charter income and expenses, while also retaining the flexibility to use their yacht for private sailing in pre-arranged periods. The program is structured to provide stable returns with minimal involvement from the owner.

With years of experience in the charter industry, a strong sales network, and a professional approach to yacht management, our charter management program is a reliable solution for sailing yachts, catamarans, and motor yachts. We take care of every detail so your yacht is successfully positioned on the market, ensuring maximum return on investment and complete peace of mind.

Charter management is the simplest and most “hassle-free” way of acquiring a new vessel, as it shortens the return period of your invested capital. The goal is to ensure a return on the owner’s investment, reduce ongoing costs, and optimize vessel maintenance expenses.

If you already own a vessel, charter management represents a way to reduce and optimize costs while generating additional income.

Your vessel is available to you for 2–3 weeks during the season, while for the remainder of the season it is operated in charter and generates income for you.

Is this type of program right for you?

The charter management program is ideal if you are facing any of the following situations:

  • You need assistance in choosing a vessel for purchase
  • You need help in deciding on financing options for purchasing a vessel
  • You already own a vessel but do not have a berth for it
  • You lack the technical knowledge required to maintain your vessel
Charter Management Terms

The vessel’s revenue consists of the total charter income generated through weekly rentals according to the official price list.

Charter income is shared as follows:

  • 65% in favor of the vessel owner or financing holder (investor)
  • 35% in favor of the charter company

From its 35% share of gross revenue, the charter company covers all agency commissions related to completed bookings, as well as marketing costs (promotion, advertising, trade fair attendance, etc.).

From their 65% share of revenue, the vessel owner (financing holder) covers the annual berth fee, vessel preparation for the season, insurance, consumables, and vessel maintenance costs.
