Own the catamaran.
We run the season.
Charter income on a transparent 75 / 25 split, monthly statements, 24/7 captain support, distribution across 60+ vetted broker partners. Catamaran Charter Caribbean has run charter management across BVI, Bahamas, Martinique and Grenada since 2013.
Six things, one contract.
Catamaran Charter Caribbean runs charter management from the broker desk. Catamaran enters the program, books through our brokerage and 60+ vetted partner network, generates revenue on a 75 / 25 owner-agency split, and stays maintained by a fixed local operations team year-round.
Catamaran enters the Catamaran Charter Caribbean fleet and books charter weeks through our brokerage and partner network. Owner keeps 75% of the net charter revenue; agency retains 25% for marketing, booking handling, contracts and APA management. Monthly statements, no hidden fees, payment cleared within 14 days of week-end.
Catamaran appears on catamaran-charter-caribbean.com plus 60+ vetted broker partners across Europe, the UK, the US, Canada and Australia. Every inquiry pre-screened — we don't pass anonymous leads through. Crew lists confirmed before contract signature.
Local operations team on call seven days, 24 hours, December through July (BVI / Bahamas / Martinique) and year-round (Grenada). Captain has a direct line for berths, formalities, mid-week service, weather routing, crew swap and any guest issue. Off-season the team handles refit scheduling, dry-dock booking and surveyor liaison.
Charter agreements drawn against the catamaran's flag-state commercial code, signed digitally. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) collected, held in escrow and reconciled after every week. Hull and TPL insurance certificates verified per booking. Annual harbour-master compliance audit per region (BVI Shipping Registry, Bahamas Maritime Authority, French DDTM, Grenada Port Authority) run from our office.
On-board photoshoot once per catamaran (Caribbean light, year-round palette), drone footage, walk-through video. Listing copy written in-house, translated for German, French, Italian markets. Featured in seasonal newsletters and partner catalogues. Social-media spotlights on premium catamarans.
Off-season schedule covering hull anti-fouling, engine service, electronics check, sail wash and survey, interior deep-clean. We coordinate with the local yard (Nanny Cay Boatyard, Marsh Harbour Boat Yards, Carénage Antilles, Spice Island Marine), supervise the work, and produce an end-of-season condition report so the next charter year starts clean.
Transparent economics, no hidden split.
Every owner gets a year-one revenue projection on contract signature and a line-item monthly statement once the season opens. No per-booking surcharges, no markup on insurance, no rebill on marina fees.
Owner keeps three-quarters of the net charter revenue. Agency 25% covers marketing, bookings, contracts, APA handling and the office overhead — no per-booking fees on top.
Net revenue cleared to the owner account within fourteen days of week-end. Monthly statement (income, booking-by-booking, line-item costs) lands in your inbox by the 5th.
Charter season runs December–July in BVI / Bahamas / Martinique (18–22 sellable weeks). Grenada at 12 °N runs year-round (24–30 weeks). Christmas / New Year and February school break always sell first.

What yacht owners usually ask.
- Which catamarans qualify for the program?
- Sailing catamarans and power catamarans between 38 and 60 ft, motor yachts up to 80 ft, sailing yachts case-by-case. Catamaran must be flagged in BVI, Bahamas, Martinique (French registry), Grenada or Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, hull and engines under ten years old (older catamarans considered after a survey), and able to base out of one of our four primary marinas — Road Town or Nanny Cay (Tortola), Marsh Harbour or Palm Cay (Nassau), Le Marin (Martinique), Port Louis (Grenada). All vessels carry valid hull, TPL and crew insurance.
- How long is the management contract?
- Standard contract is three seasons (December → July across three calendar years for BVI / Bahamas / Martinique; year-round for Grenada below the hurricane belt). Renewal is annual after the third season. First-year ramp-up: owner-use weeks limited to shoulder season; from year two, owner-use weeks are reserved freely up to 90 days ahead, charter bookings fill around them.
- How much does the catamaran actually earn?
- Depends on catamaran type, region and year of build. As a guide on a well-presented 46-ft sailing catamaran from a popular brand (2020+): 18–22 booked weeks × US$8,500–US$12,000 net per week = US$150,000–US$240,000 gross. Owner share at 75% = roughly US$110,000–US$180,000. A 42-ft catamaran in the same build year: US$120,000–US$180,000 gross / US$90,000–US$135,000 to the owner. Grenada year-round catamarans tend to log 24–30 weeks; BVI / Bahamas / Martinique 18–22 weeks. We run a transparent projection on every new contract.
- Can I use the catamaran for private weeks?
- Yes — that is the point of the program. Owner-use weeks are unlimited in principle; in practice we recommend keeping shoulder seasons (May–June, late November) for owner use and the peak six weeks (Christmas / New Year + February school break) for charter. Owner-use blocks go into the system as soon as you confirm dates; the longer the lead time, the cleaner the calendar.
- Who handles damage, repairs and end-of-season refit?
- Charter-damage repairs are paid from the security deposit or the operator-insured deposit, with the agency coordinating the yard and the surveyor. Routine end-of-season refit (BVI / Bahamas / Martinique catamarans haul out July–November; Grenada catamarans rotate refit windows year-round) is on the owner; we schedule it, source quotes, supervise the work and produce a condition report. Mid-season service (engine, sails, electronics check-ups) is scheduled around the charter calendar so the catamaran is back on the water within 48 hours.
- How do I onboard a catamaran into the program?
- Three steps: send the catamaran's basic details (model, year, base marina, equipment) on the inquiry form; we run a quick projection (4 working hours) and a structured walk-through (1–2 hours, in person at the base marina); a three-season contract drafted within a week, signed digitally. Photography, listing and pricing locked in two weeks before season opens — typically late November for the December peak.
