## Resource

Yacht charter is not just about booking a yacht. It is about preparation, communication, trust, and creating the kind of guest experience that feels effortless because the work behind it has been done properly. In this episode of Captain’s Chat, Captain Liam Devlin speaks with Sabrina van Maltha of International Yacht Register about luxury yacht charter, five-star service, client expectations, broker-captain relationships, and the details that turn a good charter into an exceptional one. Sabrina shares how her background in hospitality shaped her approach to charter management, why “no” should not be the first answer in luxury service, and how anticipating small details can completely change a guest’s experience onboard. The conversation also explores the importance of preparation, preference sheets, owner expectations, captain and broker communication, destination experiences, and why transparency is becoming increasingly important across the yachting industry. Sabrina also introduces Yachting Confidential , a new series exploring luxury yachting through insider conversations on ownership, charter, travel, lifestyle, client experience, and the people shaping the global market.
