Frequently Asked Questions

American Yacht is a US corporation registered in the State of Florida. We are members of major broker and yacht owners associations such as CYBA and AYCA and have impeccable references.

We can provide these references upon request.

No, our services are free. Our advice is free and pretty accurate most of the time. We want you back as a client…!!

Clearly we are not infallible, but, as brokers, we are working for YOU and not for the yacht-owners or management companies. We try to match each of our client’s requirements and criteria with the various yachts that meet these criteria.

In most cases, we have been on the yachts and know their crews and also have access to references and testimonials from prior customers. We are therefore in a good position to make recommendations to you based on this information.

We have access to the major industry-wide databases and also access each individual clearing house and management company’s inventories. There are more than 1000 vessels that can be accessed from this website.

This is an industry that uses wire transfer of funds as the primary method of payment. Due to the large amount of money that changes hands each day for luxury yacht charters, we try to avoid putting up prices in order to cover credit card charges. Having said that, we do accept selected cards for use in booking the smaller and medium sized yachts. Bareboat charters can be paid for with a credit card.

We cater to Caribbean, Bahamas and Florida destinations. We also have databases of excellent yachts in the South Pacific, Alaska and exotic Indian Ocean islands like the Galapagos, Seychelles and the Maldives.

Call or contact us and we will determine the availability of the most suitable yachts with the right number of cabins on your preferred dates, that are in the general area you’d like to cruise AND that are in your budget range.

We’ll also check to make sure, as accurately as possible, that the crew is compatible with your group. Then we’ll send you all this information by email so you can make your decision. We may even nudge you to choose a yacht that we know will do a splendid job because we have had excellent prior experience with other clients on her.
