Booking Process for Agents
Step 1: Client Consultation
Discuss client preferences, budget, travel dates, and interests (diving, photography, family travel, etc.). Review our offerings with the client using our comprehensive materials and brochure.
Step 2: Quote Generation
Contact your dedicated agent liaison with client requirements. We provide detailed quotes within 24 hours including pricing, itinerary, vessel options, and inclusions. Share this quote with your client.
Step 3: Booking Confirmation
Once client approves, submit a booking request with client details, charter date, vessel preference, and special requirements. We’ll send an invoice to your agency with agent commission clearly itemized.
Step 4: Payment & Documentation
Your agency invoices your client at marked-up retail price. You pay us the net commission price (retail price minus your commission). We provide all documentation, pre-charter communications, and client confirmation directly.
Step 5: Support & Follow-up
Your dedicated contact provides pre-charter support for client questions. Post-charter, we manage feedback collection and reviews. Your agency maintains client relationships and may solicit feedback for referrals and repeat bookings.
Marketing Materials Provided
We provide professional materials to help agents sell our charters: high-resolution photography library (100+ images), promotional brochures and rate cards, email templates and digital assets, social media content and graphics, video testimonials from satisfied clients, detailed spec sheets for each vessel, itinerary descriptions and variations, FAQs and common objection responses.

Each partner agency receives a dedicated relationship manager who serves as your primary contact. Your relationship manager provides quote support, handles special requests, manages group bookings, supports client communications, and works to maximize your success and satisfaction.
