Four non-negotiable principles governing every integration, every passage, every owner report.
No yacht joins the fleet without a full technical inspection: structure, classification, maintenance schedule. If the standard is not met, the yacht is not integrated.
Every operation — rigging, port call, handback — follows a documented protocol. No improvisation on critical safety checkpoints.
Every owner receives a full monthly report: sailing hours, revenue, incidents, resolutions. Figures are verifiable, not declarative.
No manufacturer affiliation, no imposed brokerage network. Our recommendations are not conditioned by any third-party commercial relationship.
Real presence
From the French Riviera to the South Pacific, Prime Yachting operates on its home waters with the same expectations — certified crew, proven protocols, no delays.
Mediterranean
FRENCH RIVIERASouth Pacific
SOUTH PACIFICSailing yachts and motor yachts of 12 metres and above, under valid classification (CE, MCA or Bureau Veritas), with complete documentation. Mechanical condition, general upkeep and the completeness of the owner's dossier are assessed during a technical audit before any integration. No yacht is listed without passing this filter.
The owner receives a contractually defined percentage of charter turnover generated. Day-rates vary by yacht, season and zone. The Mediterranean market shows net returns of 3–8% per year after costs. These are published market averages — not optimistic projections. A personalised study is conducted before any commitment.
A broker places charter weeks and takes a commission; they do not manage the yacht. Prime Yachting is an operator — we rig, run, maintain and report. We assume full operational responsibility, from rigging to end of season. The owner has a single point of contact, written deliverables and a contract that specifies each party's obligations.
The Mediterranean concentrates high-end charter demand in summer. The South Pacific — New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji — offers a complementary winter window and a less saturated market. For an owner, the ability to migrate the yacht between basins by season meaningfully improves annual occupancy rates.
