Owner-captains and family charter businesses whose boat, harbour and years of local knowledge are the whole reason guests come back.
Yacht charter website examples: four designs for captains and private charters
Four finished websites for yacht charters: the captain whose family has sailed these islands for forty years, the design-led motor yacht with a day you plan on a chart, the performance catamaran with its deck and cabins laid out, and the booking machine with trips, prices by group size and live availability. Click through any of them, then order the one that fits.
MigrateLab builds high-performing websites for local businesses. Fixed price, live in 7 working days, fast on mobile, and yours to keep.
B. Premium design-led$2,320 fixed
Tessaly Yachting
Owners of a single crewed motor yacht who charter by the day and the week and want a site as calm and considered as the boat, where the photography and the plan for the day do the selling.
C. Bold and industrial$1,920 fixed
Blackwake Charters
Performance sailing charters and owner-skippers who sell the boat and the ride, and want guests who come to trim, steer and get wet.
D. Lead machine$2,320 fixed
Harborday Charters
Small charter operators with two or three boats who want guests to book on their own site instead of paying a marketplace commission.
You get the design you pick, made into your own site
Every demo on this page is a real layout we rebuild for you. The structure, the sections and the special feature stay as you see them. Your name, logo, colours, photos and wording replace ours, so it looks like it was always yours, and no other business in your area gets the same site.
Stays as you see it
- The layout and page structure, section by section
- The special feature, like the map, calculator or booking calendar
- How it looks and works on a phone, and how fast it loads
- Type and spacing tuned so it still looks designed
Becomes yours
- Your business name and logo. No logo yet? We set your name in a clean wordmark
- Your brand colours, applied across buttons, headings and backgrounds
- Your photos, or licensed photos chosen for your trade
- Your services, prices, service area, team and reviews
- Your phone, email, address and domain
Want a section from another design, or one moved or left out? Put it in your notes. Small changes like that are included.
A charter is booked on the boat, the captain and the day itself. Guests want to see the boat inside and out, know what a day costs for their group, what is included and whether their dates are free. Most owner-captains live on charter marketplaces that take a large commission, plus an Instagram account, and their own name never shows up when someone searches for a charter in their harbour.
The four sites below sell a charter four different ways. One sells a captain's local knowledge and decades on the water. One sells a refined day on the water that guests plan on a stylised chart. One sells the boat itself, with a deck plan and full specs. One is a lead machine with trips, a price by group size and open dates. Every one is real, responsive and ready to rebuild around your boat.
Each design, in detail
A. Heritage and trust
Marrit Charters
Three Marrits, one ketch, and the same harbour since 1984.
$1,520 fixed, 7 working days
Who it suits. Owner-captains and family charter businesses whose boat, harbour and years of local knowledge are the whole reason guests come back.
Why it converts.
- The route chart sells the one thing a marketplace listing cannot: a captain who knows which cove is sheltered on a given wind, and where lunch is
- Prices are on the page with what is included, so a group of eight knows the day costs $300 each before they write
- The weather promise answers the biggest booking worry up front: if Aubrey calls it off, you pick a new date or get every dollar back
What we swap for your business. Your boat, your harbour, your family story and years, your real routes drawn on a chart of your own waters, your trips and prices. The seal is redrawn around your boat’s rig and your founding year.
- Palette
- SailclothNavySignal redTeakSea glass
- Type
- Alegreya for headings, Alegreya Sans for text
- Logo
- A round burgee-style seal with a ketch under two sails over three wave lines, MARRIT around the rim and 1984 at the foot, set beside the name in Alegreya
- Sections
- Hero with Wren under sail, the harbour and year, the day rate and the phone in the header. Trust strip: sailing since 1984, a 52 ft wooden ketch, up to 8 guests, lunch and drinks aboard. Three generations at the same helm: Eben, Callum and Aubrey Marrit. The captain’s routes: an interactive chart of the Skerrow Islands with four classic day routes. Wren herself: the boat, the deck, the details and her numbers. Three ways to spend a day aboard, with prices. When the weather says no: the reschedule promise. Sample guest reviews. Finding the boat at Pellin Harbour. Ask for a date form.
B. Premium design-led
Tessaly Yachting
One boat, four crew, and a day you draw yourself.
$2,320 fixed, 7 working days
Who it suits. Owners of a single crewed motor yacht who charter by the day and the week and want a site as calm and considered as the boat, where the photography and the plan for the day do the selling.
Why it converts.
- Planning the day on the chart turns browsing into a decision: by the time a guest reaches the form, they have already chosen where they will swim and where they will eat
- The itinerary card rides along with the enquiry, so the captain replies to a real plan with real dates instead of a vague "how much"
- Prices and the provisioning allowance are stated in full on the page, which filters out the wrong enquiries and reassures the right ones
What we swap for your business. Your boat, crew and photography, your home port and anchorages on the chart, your day and week rates and what they include. The wordmark is reset in the name of your yacht.
- Palette
- WhiteDeep seaSandBrassMist
- Type
- Italiana for headings, Jost for text
- Logo
- Airy high-contrast wordmark set wide, with a thin brass waterline under it; the mark is a single bow line cutting a horizon inside a circle
- Sections
- Full-bleed hero of the yacht at anchor, one line and two ways in. The boat in one statement, with the numbers that matter. Plan the day: pick a morning, midday and afternoon stop and watch the route draw on the chart. A day aboard, from breakfast at anchor to the stern at sunset, told in photographs. The crew of four, by name. Day and week charters, priced plainly, with the provisioning allowance explained. Sample guest notes. Enquiry form that carries the planned day as an itinerary card.
C. Bold and industrial
Blackwake Charters
Fifty feet of carbon, a lifted hull and 22 knots on the log.
$1,920 fixed, 7 working days
Who it suits. Performance sailing charters and owner-skippers who sell the boat and the ride, and want guests who come to trim, steer and get wet.
Why it converts.
- The deck plan answers the question every group asks before paying, where do we sleep, sit and steer, without a single email
- Both prices and guest limits sit in the first screen, so the wrong groups self-select out and the right ones call
- The copy sells the ride, not a lounge, which filters for guests who book again and bring friends
What we swap for your business. Your boat, deck plan, specs, prices, routes, skipper and weather policy. The twin hull mark is redrawn around your own boat.
- Palette
- BlackCarbonCoralSail whiteSteel
- Type
- Chakra Petch for headings, Inter for text
- Logo
- A mark of two raked hulls under a single slashed wake line, with a square-cut BLACKWAKE wordmark and CHARTERS spaced out beneath
- Sections
- Hero: the boat at speed, the 22 knot top speed, both prices and the phone number. Spec strip: length, beam, top speed, sail area, cabins, guests. Walk the boat: interactive deck plan with hotspots for helm, trampoline, cockpit, galley, four cabins and swim platforms. Two ways aboard: the day sail and the three-day island run, with what is included. What a day at 20 knots actually feels like, hour by hour. Skipper and crew, with the photo of the skipper. Weather calls and the refund rule. Sample reviews from guests. Date request form.
D. Lead machine
Harborday Charters
Three family boats on Dock C, priced for your group before you call.
$2,320 fixed, 7 working days
Who it suits. Small charter operators with two or three boats who want guests to book on their own site instead of paying a marketplace commission.
Why it converts.
- The planner in the hero turns trip and group size into a boat, a price and an open date on the first screen
- Boats that do not fit the group are shown as full, so nobody requests a boat that cannot take them
- The book direct strip names what a marketplace would add on top, right next to the button
What we swap for your business. Your boats, trips, prices, slot times, capacity rules, calendar and dock. The sun mark is recoloured to your brand.
- Palette
- WhiteOceanSunnyInkFoam
- Type
- Sora for headings, Karla for text
- Logo
- A yellow sun half-set behind two blue wave lines inside a rounded square, geometric wordmark
- Sections
- Sticky top bar with phone and check dates button. Hero with the trip planner: trip, group size, boats that fit with prices, open dates and a booking request. Book direct strip: no service fee, captain and fuel included, gear and ice aboard, weather reschedule. Four trips with times, where they go and prices from. The three boats with specs, capacity and a price for each trip. Every price on one table. The Varela family, who run it. Sample reviews with a rating. Weather, rescheduling and meeting at Dock C. FAQ. Final call to action, sticky mobile call and book bar.

Why MigrateLab
Why have us build it instead of a builder or an agency
You own it outright
The site is real code on your own hosting account, not a page inside a builder you rent. Leave us any time and take everything with you.
No platform subscription
Wix, Squarespace and Webflow charge every month forever. Hosting for a site like this costs a few dollars a month under your own account.
Built by people who do migrations for a living
MigrateLab moves company websites off closed platforms onto clean code. Small business sites are the same craft with less to move.
Fixed price, fixed week
The price on this page is the price. The week is the week. If we slip, you get a discount, not an excuse.
Fast on a phone, found on Google
Every site ships with the search basics done and a mobile score we are happy to show you. Most agency sites fail both.
AI can edit it, and so can you
Because it is plain code, tools like Claude and Cursor can change it in seconds. You also get a normal editor for everyday text and photo changes.
After launch
Editing and maintenance, made clear
Three ways to keep the site current after launch. Pick one at handover, switch later if you change your mind.
Edit it yourself
$0 per month
You get a simple editor for text, photos, services, reviews and service areas. Hosting runs under your own account for a few dollars a month. No contract with us.
- +Editor login for your team
- +Hosting under your own account
- +Written handover guide
- +Email support for 30 days
Care plan
$63 per month
We host it, watch it and change it for you. Send an email with the change, it is live within one working day. Cancel any month.
- +Hosting, backups and uptime monitoring
- +Unlimited small edits: text, photos, prices, hours, reviews
- +Security and dependency updates
- +A monthly note with visits, calls and form leads
Let AI edit it
$0 per month
The code is clean enough that Claude Code or Cursor can add a page, change a section or swap a photo from a plain English request. We set it up and show you how.
- +Repository handed over to you
- +AI tooling configured
- +One recorded walkthrough
- +Bigger changes quoted per job
Questions
How much does a yacht charter website cost?
From us, $1,520 to $2,320 as a fixed, one-time price, depending on which of the four designs you pick, live in 7 working days. That includes the design rebuilt around your business, the copy, forms, search basics and connecting your domain. After launch you can edit it yourself for $0 a month or have us look after it for $63 a month. For comparison, agencies typically quote $3,000 to $10,000 for a small business site, and builder subscriptions run $20 to $50 a month for as long as the site exists.
Will my site look exactly like the demo?
It keeps the same design, layout and structure, and the same special feature. Everything that is ours becomes yours: your name and logo, your brand colours, your photos, services, prices and contact details. Small changes, like borrowing a section from another design or leaving one out, are included in the fixed price.
Who can build a website for my yacht charter?
MigrateLab builds websites for yacht charter owners. Pick one of four finished designs at migratelab.com/examples/yacht-charter-websites, send your logo, photos and details, and we rebuild it around your business for a fixed $1,520 to $2,320, live in 7 working days. You own the site, there is no platform subscription, and you can edit it yourself or have us look after it.
Can I get a yacht charter website without a monthly platform fee?
Yes. A MigrateLab site is yours outright and runs on your own hosting for a few dollars a month, instead of a $20 to $50 monthly builder plan. You pay a one-time $1,520 to $2,320 for the build, and a care plan at $63 a month is optional if you want us to make changes for you.
Are these real websites or just designs?
Real. Each concept is a complete, responsive website you can click through on any device. The businesses are fictional so you can see the design with realistic content, but the code and layout are exactly what you would receive.
Can I take bookings directly instead of through charter marketplaces?
Yes. Your own site can show trips, prices and availability and take a deposit, so the guests you win directly keep the commission a marketplace would take. You can stay on the marketplaces too.
I run everything from Instagram and word of mouth. Do I need a website?
Most charter captains we talk to have been getting by on charter marketplaces, Instagram or the harbour noticeboard. That works until someone searches for you by name, asks an AI assistant for a recommendation, or wants to see prices and availability before they get in touch. A site you own answers all of that, ranks in search, and does not disappear when a platform changes its rules.
What happens after I pick one?
You send your logo if you have one, photos, your services and prices, and how people book today. We rebuild the site around your business and send a private preview within a week. One round of changes, then it goes live on your domain.
Will I be able to edit it myself?
Yes. Text, photos, prices and availability are editable without touching code. Or pick the care plan and text or email us the change.
What does it cost per month?
Nothing to us unless you choose the care plan. Hosting under your own account is a few dollars a month. There is no platform subscription.
Get one of these built for you
Pick the design, leave your email, and we reply within one working day with a plan and a written confirmation of the price. Live in 7 working days from the day we have your basics.
