Choosing Your Charter Yacht
Knowledge is essential for choosing the right yacht. Our experienced charter brokers have an unrivaled knowledge of the entire fleet, from cabin configuration to crew personalities. Before you browse through the yacht selection, have a look at the below guide which outlines different categories and how they may complement your charter.
Mega yachts
The mega yachts enhancing the PRIVILEGE fleet are the ultimate yacht in size, facilities and luxury. These majestic motor yachts still manage to retain all the exclusivity, privacy and personal service of the ‘smaller’ superyacht. Whereas life onboard a superyacht is akin to a five-star boutique-hotel style experience, staying aboard a mega-yacht is like residing in a world-class resort complete with all or any of the following: a nanny cabin, wine cellar, gymnasium, casino, Heli-deck, swimming pool and health center featuring a multi-gym, treatment rooms, sauna, steam room, plunge pool, Jacuzzi, beauty salon and business center.
With large space, luxurious facilities and maximum levels of security, the mega yacht is primed for opulent parties, corporate events and charter holidays for large families.

WE OFFER A COMPREHENSIVE ASSET MANAGEMENT SERVICE FOR YACHT OWNERS
A superyacht is a substantial financial investment and a valuable asset. PRIVILEGE is proud to have assembled the most qualified and experienced asset management team in yachting, covering every possible aspect of a yacht's lifecycle requirement from within our operational and charter management specialist divisions. PRIVILEGE Yacht Management aims to provide a comprehensive range of services in-house to maximize the owner's enjoyment of their yacht, minimizing the risks and liabilities associated with yacht ownership, controlling the costs of yacht operations and protecting the significant capital investment that a yacht represents.
WE HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE & RESOURCES
We employ over 60 partnerships across three continents. Our partners are strategically situated in major international business and financial centers and at the heart of the world's most popular cruising grounds.
OWNERSHIP RISK MANAGEMENT
The Ownership of a yacht carries obligations and potential liabilities for an owner, both in regard to the legal operation of the vessel and throughout the employment of the crew.
"Has the Owner acted as a reasonable ship owner would?", is a fundamental test that is applied under Maritime Law. By delegating management responsibility to a professional and experienced Yacht Manager, an owner is considered to have acted reasonably, in turn providing the owner with protection from consequential liabilities.
As Yacht Manager, it is our role to ensure that the yacht is maintained and operated in accordance with ever-evolving legislation and is compliant with local regulations.
ASSET VALUE PROTECTION
We recognize that a large yacht represents a significant capital investment and as such, it is imperative that the value of this investment be protected. Maintaining the yacht to the highest possible standard ensures that the resale value and prospective charter revenue if desired is maximized.
A best practice, proactive, and preventative maintenance program keeps long term repair and maintenance costs to a minimum. The Burgess Yacht Management in-house technical team is a dedicated resource in support of this objective.
COST CONTROL
Maintaining and operating a yacht represents a considerable expense for any owner. A professional manager who works closely with the Captain and crew can help control expenses, ensuring that optimal pricing is obtained in the procurement of goods and services.
ONSHORE SERVICE SUPPORT
Operational management of a yacht is becoming increasingly complicated, technical and labor-intensive. The PRIVILEGE Yacht Management Model is focused on supporting the Captain and crew in delivering the best possible service; providing them with 24hr onshore support to take care of the 'back of house' functions, allowing those on board to focus on their most important role of maximizing owner and guest enjoyment.
