INVESTOR INTELLIGENCE

Stop Trusting Charter Company Projections.

We pull actual booking data from 6+ platforms and cross-reference it against years of Wayback Machine history. The truth about charter occupancy, verified and documented.

The problem

  • 01Charter management companies claim 5–11% annual returns — rarely validated independently
  • 02Occupancy projections are based on fleet-wide averages, not your specific vessel
  • 03Historical performance data exists on booking platforms but is not easily accessible
  • 04Purchase decisions are made on trust, not evidence

The solution

Charter Pulse gives you independent, per-vessel occupancy and revenue data backed by source URLs and archived booking history. Before you write a check.

Frequently asked questions

Is owning a yacht for charter profitable?

It can be. But profitability depends heavily on occupancy, pricing, and operating costs — all of which charter companies tend to present optimistically. Our analysis of 1,200+ listings shows actual occupancy rates are typically 25–40% below charter company projections. Verifying the real numbers before purchase is the only way to underwrite risk properly.

What is the average yacht charter occupancy rate?

Based on verified platform data: catamarans average 85% peak-season occupancy; sailing yachts average 75%. Annual occupancy (year-round, including off-season) is typically 40–65% depending on destination and vessel class.

How does Charter Pulse verify occupancy?

We cross-reference live calendar data from Click&Boat, Boatsetter, Sailo, Nautal, and Macrocruise with Wayback Machine historical snapshots going back 24 months. Every blocked date is logged with a source URL. The methodology is fully disclosed in every report.
