Why do charter companies choose Charter Meetup?
In a competitive charter market, visibility alone is not enough. You need direct connections, clear communication, and strong relationships with brokers who actively sell your fleet. Charter Meetup is a B2B networking conference where international brokers visit local companies and their bases, allowing you to present your offer in real conditions.
Instead of sending more emails, you create real experiences. As a result, you build trust and improve the quality of your bookings.
1. | You meet charter brokers in person
The core of Charter Meetup is the pre-scheduled speed-dating B2B meetings. These one-on-one sessions with international brokers are arranged in advance. Meaning, each meeting will last precisely 10 minutes, allowing participants to introduce themselves, share important information, and build beneficial business connections.
“We look forward to meeting our Partner Agents to exchange insights and explore new opportunities. We are confident that the Charter Meetup will be a unique chance to network, discuss upcoming yachting market trends, and forge new collaborations that could shape a brighter future by elevating the industry and creating memorable experiences for our guests.”
– Aris Tsirikos, Vernicos Yachts
2. | Charter base and marina tour
Another interesting part of the programme will be the marina and charter base tours. These tours give brokers the chance to see the yachts up close and get a real feel for the fleets and services offered by charter companies.
“This event is a fantastic opportunity to connect, exchange insights, and strengthen collaborations within the yacht charter industry. Brokers attending will also have the chance to visit our offices, pontoons, and state-of-the-art infrastructure, experiencing firsthand the level of service and quality that makes us the go-to choice for yacht, catamaran, power catamaran, and motorboat charters in the region.”
– Yanni Mavrokefalos, Ionian Catamarans
3. | Charter availability and routes explained directly
Availability lists often get lost in crowded inboxes. On the other hand, in-person discussions are precise and focused. At Charter Meetup, you present your routes, services, and standards directly to brokers. As a result, misunderstandings are reduced. Moreover, brokers leave with clear information about what clients can expect. Clear communication leads to better-aligned inquiries.
“Now, with the event taking place in Lefkas – our home base, we have the perfect opportunity to not only connect with brokers and partners but also showcase our fleet in its natural environment! With the stunning Ionian Sea as our backdrop, we look forward to productive meetings, insightful conversations, and meaningful collaborations!”
– Baxevanis Vagelis, Bax Yachting
4. | Brokers get a closer look at charter operations
Brokers need reliability. They must understand how you manage maintenance, crew performance, and guest experience.
When they visit your base, they see your standards in practice. Consequently, they gain confidence in recommending your fleet. Transparency, therefore, becomes a competitive advantage.
Strong trust supports long-term cooperation.
“This event is a great opportunity to connect with brokers and industry professionals, exchange ideas, and explore new collaborations. We are especially looking forward to showcasing our fleet and operations in both Preveza and Lefkas, allowing brokers to experience firsthand the quality of our bases and services. Having the chance to meet partners in person and present what we offer in the Ionian is invaluable for us.”
– Olympia Galanaki, Athenian Yachts
5. | Charter Meetup Helps You Get Better Bookings
Finally, the goal is not simply more emails. The goal is better bookings. When brokers fully understand your fleet and services, they promote your offer with more confidence. Because of that, inquiries are more relevant, and clients are better matched to your vessels. Charter Meetup connects international brokers with local companies in a structured B2B environment. As a result, you increase visibility, strengthen relationships, and improve booking quality.
This year, Charter Meetup takes place in Greece, Türkiye, and Croatia. Register for the Charter Meetup in the country where your base is located and show brokers exactly what sets your fleet apart.
