Confirmation & Set Sail
All cards are charged simultaneously and your trip is locked in

Why Choose Yakt?
We solve the biggest pain points of group yacht bookings with transparent technology and fair processes.
Protected Payments
Cards are only charged when every crew member has committed. If the group isn't complete, everyone gets a full refund.
Fair Cost Splitting
The total cost is divided equally (or custom shares) among crew. No awkward money conversations — the platform handles it all.
Instant Confirmation
Once all payments clear, your yacht is immediately confirmed with the charter company. No waiting or uncertainty.
Flexible Payment Options
Pay in full, split costs with your crew, or spread payments over installments — whatever works best for your group.
Your Money is Protected
We use Stripe for bank-level payment security. Cards are never charged until every crew member has committed. If the group isn't complete, all crew card authorizations are released automatically.
Secure Authorization
Cards are verified and authorized but not charged until the crew is complete
7-Day Window
A clear deadline keeps things moving while giving everyone time to commit
Simultaneous Capture
All crew cards are charged at the same moment — fair and transparent for everyone
