So how it works is: you find a yacht that you wish to charter and you contact the agency to book the vessel. Once you have booked it the agent will inform you of the payment plan: as usually the payment is done in advance, in different time intervals.

Regrettably the vast majority of people think that they are covered by the yacht insurance they take out when they arrange the charter.
