Media and Marketing

Select Yachts uses social media, print media, videos, networking events and international yacht charter shows to keep your yacht in the spotlight. Our central agents design and maintain detailed electronic brochures for charter brokers to email to potential clients worldwide. Your E-brochure is continually updated to reflect any changes of equipment, crew, amenities, toys and location in a timely manner. We publish photos that you provide of your yacht and crew, or we can recommend a professional photographer in your region who can best showcase your yacht. We can also produce printed brochures on request.

Central Listings

Select Yachts lists your luxury yacht on CYA (Central Yacht Agent) and CI (Charter Index), charter broker sites that are similar to MLS listings for real estate agents. These websites include in-depth yacht and crew descriptions, rates, availabilities, special offers and electronic brochures for the brokerage community.

SelectYachts.com

Our proprietary website, is a repository of up-to-date information for retail clients, charter brokers, owners and crew. Your yacht has its own page, with a compelling description, photos, crew profiles and testimonials. That’s just one facet of our proven marketing strategy. We post yachting news features, crew interviews, chef’s recipes, cruising itineraries and produce photo and video galleries starring the Select Yachts fleet. Exclusively for brokers, our private, password protected, website provides fleet information, rates, schedules and E-brochures to the worldwide network of charter professionals.

Social Media

Social media is more than a way to reach people, it’s a means to connect, to be human. Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Select Yachts blogs are interactive tools we use to engage existing clients and entice new ones. Our high number of media followers underscores the trust and credibility of our company.

Charter Yacht Shows

Select Yachts is very proactive. We attend international charter yacht shows including; BVI and US Virgin Islands, Antigua, Miami, Ft Lauderdale, Annapolis, Newport, Monaco, Genoa, Croatia and Poros. July 2016 we launched the inaugural Grenada Charter Yacht Show, an unforgettable success.

The best way to remember something is through first-hand experience. That is why we request that every yacht in our fleet attend at least one show per year. This gives us the opportunity to invite leading brokers to on board events, such as lunches or cocktail parties, or to a familiarization trip, which best reveals the allure of your yacht and level of service on board. Charter shows include activities such as yacht hops, competitions, and seminars, where your crew can demonstrate their skills, abilities and humor.

In this highly competitive industry, it is vitally important to take advantage of this interactive platform. Charter brokers present to their clients those yachts that are memorable, yachts they can envision their clients enjoying the most.
