Reputable Charter Brokers

CharterWave gives you several ways to find a reputable charter broker. One option is to read our editorial in-depth interviews with brokers worldwide. Another is to check out our comprehensive list below.

 

The following brokers are also CharterWave sponsors. Brokers can't become sponsors unless they are members of key professional groups. We encourage you to support the following reputable brokers:

Broker Liz Howard
Liz Howard ran a successful crew-placement agency before joining the San Diego office of Fraser Yachts Worldwide as a retail charter broker in 2002. She regularly travels the world to inspect charter yachts, and she frequently books charters for high-profile clients who require discretion. You can learn more about Liz in our editorial interview, or e-mail her directly.
Ed Hamilton & Co. Megayachts
Selecting and booking a large sailing or motor yacht vacation requires an intimate knowledge of the yacht and cruising ground, and the experience to avoid common pitfalls. When we send you a selection of yachts based on your criteria, we've taken the time to learn your preferences and matched them to the yachts we recommend. Our brokers will give you professional, unbiased advice as we are truly independent and are not tied to any one yacht or operator. View some of the magnificent yachts available or ask us to suggest some suitable boats for your vacation.

Brokers Missy Johnston and Carolyn Titus have been instrumental in helping the charter industry to evolve during the past few decades.
