Step 1: Envision Your Dream Yacht Vacation

The first step to chartering a yacht with CKIM Group is to picture your perfect getaway. The more details you can share, the easier it is for us to create a trip that’s just right for you. Here are a few things to think about:

  • Preferred destinations: Popular spots like the British Virgin Islands, the Grenadines, or even farther-off destinations.
  • The type of yacht: Catamarans, motor yachts, and sailing yachts each offer a different kind of experience.
  • Your preferred style: Prefer a relaxed getaway, an adventure, or a luxury escape?
  • Group size: Whether it’s a romantic trip or a fun gathering of family and friends, knowing your size helps us plan better.

We prioritize clarity and transparency, so you’ll know exactly what to expect – no hidden fees and surprises!

Step 4: Select the Perfect Yacht

We’ll help you review the quotes and compare your options. It’s a good idea to have three yacht choices in mind, just in case your top pick isn’t available. We’ll guide you through the selection process to make sure your final choice aligns with your vision for the trip.

Moreover, expect insider tips from our team, who have firsthand knowledge of the yachts and crews.

Step 5: Contracts & Confirmations

Once you’ve selected your yacht and it’s available, CKIM will place a Working Hold on your charter dates. If challenged by another party, you’ll have 48 business hours to finalize and make payment.

We will send a draft of the charter agreement for review. Once all parties agree, the final contract will be signed via DocuSign. You will make payments as per the contract via Bank Wire Transfer.

Once you sign the agreement and make the payment, we confirm your charter. Then, CKIM will send your receipt and forms to fill out.
