Owner services
Yacht management.
Day-to-day yacht management: crew, accounts, technical oversight and ISM/MLC compliance.
The relationship
The year-round programme.
Yacht management runs the year-round programme: crew rotation and payroll, technical oversight, regulatory compliance (ISM, MLC, flag-state requirements) owner accounts and cruising-area logistics. Coordinated through selected yacht-management firms under a single Balthazar advisor. The owner sees one report and one point of contact; the operational specialists are coordinated behind that contact.

Frequently asked
Practical questions.
- What does yacht management cover?
- Crew employment, technical maintenance, insurance, flag-state interface, budget management, and the operational programme of the yacht. The owner is freed from the daily operational decisions; the management contract sits between the owner and the yacht.
- How is yacht management priced?
- Management terms are structured against the yacht's operating profile and scope of service, and agreed directly with the owner.
- How does yacht management differ from charter management?
- Yacht management covers the yacht’s operational integrity year-round. Charter management is the more specific sub-discipline focused on placing the yacht into commercial charter, marketing, and managing the charter calendar. The two are often combined under one management contract.
