About Yachtic.com

Yachtic.com is an independent yacht charter search engine and booking agent headquartered in Katowice, Poland, with an office in London, United Kingdom. Founded in 2014, Yachtic lets you search, compare, and book charter yachts from professional operators worldwide. The platform provides access to over 30,000 charter yachts across more than 3,000 bases in 50+ countries through direct integration with MMK and Nausys booking systems. The "Yachtic" brand is a registered trademark protected in the European Union, Poland, and the United Kingdom. The platform was created by an active sailor and is operated by a team of experienced sailors who provide personal booking assistance and 24/7 emergency support during every charter.

Who Founded Yachtic and Why?

Yachtic was founded in 2014 in Katowice, Poland, by an experienced sailor who had spent years chartering yachts across Croatia, Greece, and Italy. After dealing with clunky booking platforms and impersonal customer service, he decided to build a better tool — a precise, fast yacht charter search engine designed by a sailor, for sailors. What started as a sailing hobby turned into a mission to deliver a genuinely useful charter search and booking experience.

How Does Yachtic Work?

Yachtic works as both a search engine and a booking agent. The platform aggregates real-time yacht availability and pricing from professional charter operators through direct integration with MMK and Nausys — the two largest charter booking systems in the industry. When you find a yacht you like, Yachtic handles the booking process on your behalf, acting as an intermediary between you and the charter operator. The charter contract is between you and the yacht operator, with Yachtic facilitating the reservation, payment processing, and providing personal support before, during, and after your charter.

How Many Yachts Does Yachtic Have?

Yachtic provides access to over 30,000 charter yachts, including sailing yachts, catamarans, motor yachts, and gulets. The fleet is sourced through direct integrations with major charter booking systems MMK and Nausys, the same systems used by other leading platforms. This means Yachtic offers the same comprehensive fleet selection as the largest yacht charter aggregators in the world.

What Makes Yachtic Different From Other Yacht Charter Platforms?

Built by sailors, for sailors

Yachtic was created by an active sailor. Every team member is an experienced sailor who understands rigging, cabin layouts, marina accessibility, and local sailing conditions. When you contact Yachtic, you get advice from people who actually sail — not call center agents reading scripts.

Precision search engine

Yachtic was purpose-built for yacht charter search, unlike generic travel or boat rental platforms. Advanced filters allow searching by exact boat model, year of construction, number of cabins and berths, equipment details, base location, and real-time availability — helping sailors find the right yacht in minutes.

Direct operator pricing

All prices on Yachtic come directly from charter operators through MMK and Nausys booking systems. There are no hidden booking fees and no inflated margins. The price displayed is the price you pay.

Personal support from real sailors
