Our Story
At Boatsters Black, we understand the best way to charter a luxury yacht. The youth of Boatsters Black brings many advantages, along with embracing the latest technologies and having a refreshing perspective. However, do not be fooled by our age, as we are by no means new to the yachting and charter industry with over 50 years of boating experience. Opening the doors in 2015, we have been pairing charter guests with exceptional yachts ever since.
With an extensive portfolio of yachts, combined with our global network, Boatsters Black has a grip on the industry unmatched by others. As an international team of professionals who go above and beyond, we are more than equipped to bring you your most memorable vacation to date.
The Boatsters Black mission
At Boatsters, we believe chartering a yacht is like coming home. Only to a home you’ve never been before. A luxury home crewed by a fantastic team of professionals who are there purely to turn an ‘ordinary experience’ into an extraordinary adventure.
This is what sets luxury crewed yacht charters apart – what makes them the single most rewarding and invaluable way to vacation with your loved ones in an outrageously beautiful part of the world.
Home is where life happens. A luxury charter yacht with Boatsters Black is where magic happens.
