Who are we?

Viktor van Savooyen and Dirk Agter, the founding partners of Yacht-Match have since 2022 worked alongside Daria Petrova, to form the YM Charter & Management. We offer yacht & charter management advice comparing your options from standardised charter programs to fully tailored solutions.

How It All Started

In 2021 and 2022, Viktor and Dirk where consistently approached by many boat owners they have helped in their previous commitments as sales and business managers for Navigare Yachting. Many of these boat owners where nearing their end of contracts with Navigare Yachting and Dream Yacht Charters. One of these boat owners was Johan Odelberg.

Together with Yacht-Match, Johan’s boat was successfully phase-out and later handed over to its new owner (buyer). During this time, Johan and the core team of Yacht-Match formed a strong bond and decided to “perfect” the hand over management, with the help of the Johan’s past experience as an international project manager and their recent experience with managing the handover of his yacht leaving a charter program.

Dirk and Viktor journey started already in 2014, when Viktor was a sales manager of Navigare Yachting and Dirk was a charter business manager at a German shipyard, Hanse Yachts (Group). Dirk, Johan and Viktor, sat together to speak about the industry and exchanged views and experience form both side. The one side of the industry professionals Dirk and Viktor, and the other side was Johan’s experience as a boat owner in a charter program and recently undergone the whole phase-out and exit.

We realized we need to share our knowledge and educate boat owners and our clients about all the available options. We need to put people in focus – listen to their needs and wants. We want to help people to find their perfect yacht and make their yachting plans possible, on their terms.

Together we wanted to offer boat owner in the same situation as Johan and all those before him that where helped by the team of Yacht-Match, to receive professional guidance and relieve them of the painstaking -and energy consuming task of dealing with their charter business and risk of being mislead and dealt further damage to the value of their and potential to continue their yachting plans.

FAQ

What is charter ownership?

Charter ownership is a model that allows you to own a yacht while generating income by placing it into a professionally managed charter program. When you are not using the yacht, it is chartered to selected clients, helping to offset running costs and, in some cases, generate profit.

Can I still use my yacht whenever I want?

Yes. Owners have guaranteed personal usage periods each year. These periods are defined contractually and planned in advance to ensure both owner flexibility and optimal charter performance.

Who manages the yacht and the charter activity?

The yacht is managed by experienced professionals who take care of:

Charter marketing and bookings
Crew management
Maintenance and technical operations
Compliance, insurance, and administration

This allows owners to enjoy the benefits of ownership without operational complexity.

Is charter ownership profitable?

Charter ownership is primarily designed to significantly reduce the cost of ownership.
Profitability depends on factors such as yacht model, location, charter demand, seasonality, and usage. In many cases, charter income can cover a large portion of annual expenses.

What types of yachts are suitable for charter ownership?

Charter ownership is typically best suited for:

Sailing catamarans
Motor yachts designed for charter
Models with strong charter demand and proven market performance

Each project is evaluated individually to ensure commercial viability.

Where will the yacht be based?

Yachts are usually based in high-demand charter destinations such as:

The Mediterranean
The Caribbean
Other established international charter areas

The base location is chosen to maximise charter income while offering attractive cruising grounds for owners.

What costs should I expect as an owner?

Costs may include:

Initial purchase price
Operational costs (offset by charter income)
Insurance and registration
Management fees

All costs and revenue projections are clearly detailed before any commitment.

Is charter ownership suitable for first-time yacht owners?

Yes. Charter ownership is often an excellent entry point into yacht ownership, as it provides:

Professional management
Reduced financial exposure
A structured and transparent ownership model

How long is the charter ownership program?

Programs typically run between 3 and 7 years, depending on the yacht and agreement. At the end of the period, owners may sell the yacht, renew the program, or convert it to private use.

How do I know if charter ownership is right for me?

Charter ownership is ideal if you:

Want to enjoy yachting without full private ownership costs
Plan to use your yacht a few weeks per year
Value professional management and income optimisation

A personalised consultation helps determine whether this model fits your lifestyle and financial goals.
