It's all good until you run into issues with the yacht or the charter company. Problems during handover, quickly draining batteries, engine breakdowns during the trip, or the classic issue of unfair deposit withholding. In our experience, that's when agents often vanish, refusing to help solve the problem. It makes sense; a typical agent handles about 50 clients a year and can't possibly know or influence the more than 1000 charter companies out there.
