The Charter Desk Overview

The Charter Desk MCP server connects AI clients to a live yacht charter inventory covering more than 8,500 yachts worldwide. It searches by destination, dates, party size, yacht attributes, and budget; returns prices, availability, deals, and source links; and provides detailed yacht terms on request. Use it to compare charter options, estimate costs before selecting dates, or request a written quote after the traveler chooses a yacht. Browsing does not require sign-in, and quote requests do not book or charge a reservation.

Primary Use Cases for The Charter Desk:
  • Search yachts for a destination, date range, group, and budget
  • Compare discounted and last-minute charter departures
  • Estimate yacht charter costs for a month before selecting dates
  • Inspect availability, inclusions, deposits, and stay rules for a yacht
