Mainstay Consulting Group Ltd is thrilled to announce our recent investment in becoming a charter agent. This strategic move comes as part of our commitment to providing superior management services for our charter yachts. Initially, our business model relied on partnering with other local charter agents for our yacht management operations. However, with the acquisition of M/Y Jura II, a yacht of a slightly different class, we recognized the need to handle charter management directly to ensure the highest standards of service and efficiency.
Benefits of Direct Charter Agent Services
By managing charter agency services in-house, Mainstay Consulting Group Ltd aims to:
• Ensure Seamless Operations: Direct management of agency processes allows us to oversee every detail, minimizing delays and enhancing the overall experience for our clients.
• Maintain High Standards: We can implement our stringent standards consistently across all operations, ensuring that every yacht under our management receives top-notch service.
• Optimize Costs: By handling charter agency internally, we can better manage costs and pass on these savings to our clients without compromising on quality.
Despite this new capability, we remain committed to collaborating with local agents where their services provide the best advantage for our managed yachts. This flexible approach ensures that we can always offer the most effective, efficient, and economical solutions for our clients.
New Listings and Enhanced Financial Security
We are proud to announce that Mainstay Consulting Group Ltd is now a listed agent on Central Yacht Agent and CharterIndex. Additionally, we have established a dedicated trust account specifically for holding charter funds. This measure guarantees that all funds are safe, insured, and securely managed, separate from company finances.
Rich Content for Brokers and Social Media Policies
Our focus on rich content creation is designed to support brokers with valuable resources. While we are not a charter brokerage and have no intention of becoming one, we aim to provide tools that brokers can utilize to enhance their own operations. Therefore, all our management yachts' websites and social media accounts are devoid of direct contact details (where platforms allow), emphasizing our commitment to broker support.
To generate shareable content while safeguarding the privacy of our charter guests, we have developed comprehensive social media policies for yacht crews. This initiative helps to enable crews to capture content whilst maintaining a balance between promoting our services and respecting the confidentiality of our clients.
Selective Fleet Inclusion for Quality Assurance
At Mainstay Consulting Group Ltd, we are meticulous about the yachts and crews we include in our fleet. Our selection process ensures that we only enlist those who align with our brand values and are dedicated to elevating industry standards. While this selective approach may come at a higher price, it allows us to dedicate more time and resources to each client, offering a depth of service that truly sets us apart as a one-stop-shop for luxury yacht management.
Commitment to Managed Yachts Only
It’s important to note that our charter agency services are exclusively for the yachts under our management. We are not interested in representing non-management yachts as a charter agent. This focused approach ensures we maintain the high standards and quality of service that our clients expect from us.
In conclusion, our investment in becoming a clearing agent marks a significant step forward in our mission to provide unparalleled yacht management services. By integrating this capability, we enhance our ability to serve our clients with efficiency, security, and excellence.
