Luxury yachting, professionally handled.
Feel the difference
Hand-matched yachts and crews
We shortlist yachts for your group, your dates, and the waters you want.
One point of contact
A yacht specialist will be in touch within 10 minutes of your inquiry, then stays with you through the final day. A private flight can be part of that, if you want one.
No added cost to work with us
The yacht owner pays our commission. The rate already includes it. Every proposal still shows the full estimate: rate, APA, taxes we know, and gratuity.
Where
Popular destinations
These coasts come up often. They are not the limit. Name any shoreline on the form. Caribbean weeks run from Thanksgiving through Easter. Mediterranean charters run in the summer.

How it works
Five steps, one specialist
01
Tell us about your trip
Destination, dates, guests, and the week you have in mind.
02
We hand-pick yachts and crews that fit
You see a short list from our network, with the layout and the total estimate.
03
You choose, and the central agent issues the contract
The yacht's central agent writes the charter contract. Payment goes to that agent's designated account, not to us.
04
We arrange the details, including a private jet if you want one
Provisioning, preferences, and, when you ask, a flight with a Part 135 operator.
05
You step aboard
The crew runs the week. We stay available if plans shift.
Companion service
Fly Private to Your Yacht
Skip the connection. A private flight can put you on the water the same day, often in time for lunch aboard, when the airport and the schedule allow it.
Lazuli acts as an air charter broker and is not a direct air carrier. All flights are operated by FAA-certificated Part 135 direct air carriers that maintain full operational control of the aircraft. Broker disclosure
A sample week
7 Days in the Exumas
This is a sample of how an Exumas week can unfold. Wind, tides, and the yacht's draft will move a day. It is not a route we operate.

Understanding Your Total Cost
We provide an all-in estimate with every proposal. The pieces below are what that estimate is built from.
Base charter rate
The weekly rate for the yacht and its crew. The owner's commission to us is already inside that rate.
Advance Provisioning Allowance
APA covers fuel, food, dockage, and other running expenses. It is charged at cost. Unused APA is returned. If costs run over, the difference is settled with the central agent.
Taxes
Some ports and countries add tax. We list the ones we know in the estimate. The contract states what is due.
Crew gratuity
A gratuity for the crew is customary and separate from the rate. We include a suggested range in the all-in estimate. It is not a fee we keep.
Clients
Client notes
Charleston
Everything was handled with real care. The questions were precise, the short list was considered, and we always knew who was taking the next step.
Palm Beach
The planning was exact and unhurried. One person kept the yacht and the flight in order, and nothing was left for us to chase.
Atlanta
It felt like a professional office, not a sales pitch. The proposal was complete, the timing was clear, and the follow-through held through the week.
Questions
Before you inquire
The yacht and a professional crew for the charter period, plus the equipment listed for that yacht. Meals, fuel, and dockage usually run through the APA, at cost. The proposal states what is included before you sign.
You see a base weekly rate, then an Advance Provisioning Allowance for fuel, food, dockage, and similar expenses. APA is not a second charter fee. It is spent at cost and reconciled at the end. We send an all-in estimate with every proposal so the pieces sit in one place.
No. The yacht owner pays our commission. Charter rates already include it. Using Lazuli does not add a fee on top of the rate.
We match the destination, dates, guest count, and budget to yachts whose central agents confirm availability. We ask about the crew's experience in those waters and with groups like yours. We do not employ the crew and we do not operate the yacht.
The yacht's central agent issues the charter contract. Client payments go to the central agent's designated account, not to Lazuli.
Deposits and cancellation terms come from the central agent's contract and are stated before you sign.
Caribbean high season runs from Thanksgiving through Easter. Summer weeks are quieter and fall inside hurricane season, which belongs in the planning conversation. The Mediterranean season is mainly May through October.
Yes, on yachts set up for a family. Tell us ages. We will ask about cabin layout, shade, and whether the toy list suits them. We do not confirm a yacht until the central agent accepts the group.
It depends on the yacht. Many carry a tender and some mix of floats, boards, and snorkeling gear. The inventory is in the proposal. We do not promise a toy the yacht does not list.
Yes. We can request a private flight through FAA-certificated Part 135 operators. Lazuli is the broker for that flight, not the operator. The operating carrier is named before you book. The flight quote shows the total cost, including taxes and fees we know at the time.
A yacht specialist will be in touch within 10 minutes of a complete inquiry during business hours. Yacht options follow as central agents reply. Timing depends on the dates and the destination.
We confirm that the operator holds an FAA Part 135 certificate and that insurance is in force for the flight.
