The Problem

You own the yachts.
Agencies own your demand.

Most charter operators depend on aggregators and brokers to fill their boats. It works, but at a steep cost.

A typical €6,000 charter booking

Via agency/aggregator
You keep: €5,100 Agency fee: €900 (15%)
You keep €5,100
−€900
15-20% commission gone on every single booking
vs.
Via direct booking
You keep €6,000 (100%)
Every direct booking pays for Floatist many times over

Beyond commission, operators face a set of structural problems that keep them dependent on third parties:

  • Weak or outdated websites that don't convert visitors
  • No system to capture and nurture leads
  • Past guests never contacted after their charter ends
  • No automated follow-up for abandoned booking inquiries
  • Zero visibility into which marketing activities actually generate bookings

Got your website live? We'll help you fill it with traffic. For a select group of operators, we're offering a complimentary 3-month marketing services pilot to drive direct bookings and learn what works best for charter businesses.

What's Included

Here's exactly what we'll set up and run for you

During the 3-month pilot, Floatist handles everything. You don't need to touch a single email platform or figure out any automation.

Welcome & Nurture Flow

Automated email sequence for new leads. Introduces your fleet, highlights key routes, and drives them toward a booking inquiry.

Post-Charter Follow-Up Flow

Sent automatically after each charter. Requests a review, encourages rebooking with an early-bird incentive, and keeps your brand top of mind.

Monthly Campaigns (2x)

Two email campaigns per month to your full list: seasonal availability, destination highlights, special offers, or fleet news. Professional, on-brand, done for you.

2 SEO Blog Posts per Month

Two optimized blog articles per month for your website: destination guides, sailing tips, or fleet highlights that drive organic search traffic.

Full Technical Setup

We handle everything: list import, template design, platform configuration, and workflow setup. No extra tools or accounts for you to manage.

Monthly Reporting

Clear monthly reports covering open rates, click-throughs, inquiry volume, and bookings attributable to marketing activity, so you know what's working.

We're running this pilot with a small number of operators to build the service alongside real charter businesses.

Prerequisite: your Floatist marketing website must be live
