Frequently asked questions

What's actually included when Center of the seas manages your yacht?

Full management bundles technical upkeep, crew handling (hiring, payroll, visas, contracts), berth logistics, insurance placement and claims support, compliance/certification, and monthly financial reporting into one service. You pay a monthly retainer sized to the yacht, plus the real running costs it covers — and Phuket rates undercut typical European management fees by a wide margin. [[Insert the company's real fee basis.]]

Can my yacht pay for itself through charter when I'm not aboard?

Yes — charter management puts your yacht on the market, handles bookings, crewing and accounting, and channels the revenue against your running costs, while you keep first call on the boat. Fees run on a commission of gross charter income, roughly 15–20% industry-wide, and Phuket's October–May high season keeps demand strong; actual returns still depend on the individual vessel, so we model them boat by boat rather than quote a blanket number.

Who keeps watch over the yacht once you've flown home?

That's guardianage — routine visits to check bilges, batteries, mooring lines and onboard systems, wash-downs, humidity control, security rounds and storm-prep, all logged with photo updates so you have visibility from anywhere. Phuket's heat, UV, salt air and humidity also push us toward a more proactive maintenance schedule (antifouling, corrosion checks, mould prevention, tighter service intervals) than owners typically budget for further north.
