Our team provides the professional guidance you need to structure charter arrangements that protect your interests and comply with all applicable laws.
We combine knowledge of maritime regulations with understanding of New York-specific legal requirements, ensuring thorough protection for your charter operations and minimizing potential disputes.
We draft comprehensive yacht charter agreements tailored to your specific needs and operations. Our agreements address key issues including charter fees, security deposits, cancellation policies, permitted cruising areas, crew responsibilities, and other essential terms to protect your interests and minimize potential disputes.
We review and negotiate yacht charter agreements to ensure favorable terms and protect your interests. Our services include analyzing charter terms, identifying potential issues, and negotiating modifications to ensure the agreement properly reflects your intentions and provides adequate protection for your specific situation.
We provide guidance on liability allocation and insurance requirements for yacht charters. Our services include advising on appropriate liability waivers, indemnification provisions, insurance coverage requirements, and other risk management strategies to protect against potential claims and losses during charter operations.
We provide guidance on regulatory compliance issues related to yacht charter operations, including licensing requirements, passenger limits, safety regulations, and tax obligations. Our advice helps ensure your charter operations comply with all applicable maritime and local regulations to avoid potential penalties and legal issues.
We represent yacht owners and charterers in resolving disputes arising from charter operations. Our services include negotiating settlements, mediating conflicts, and when necessary, representing clients in litigation or arbitration proceedings to protect their interests and achieve favorable resolutions.
We handle the complexities of international yacht charter operations, including cross-border regulatory requirements, foreign jurisdiction considerations, and international maritime law compliance. Our experience helps navigate the additional layers of complexity in global charter operations to ensure proper protection and compliance.
Private yacht charters involve unique legal considerations for both owners and charterers. We assist with drafting and reviewing charter agreements that address specific needs for private use, including guest limitations, permitted cruising areas, onboard rules, and liability allocations to ensure a smooth charter experience with clear expectations.
Commercial charter operations face additional regulatory requirements and liability considerations. We provide guidance on licensing, passenger limits, crew requirements, safety regulations, and insurance needs for commercial charters, ensuring compliance with maritime regulations while protecting the interests of charter operators.
Bareboat charters, where the charterer takes full control of the vessel without a provided crew, present unique liability and qualification issues. We assist with drafting bareboat charter agreements that address charterer qualifications, maintenance responsibilities, insurance requirements, and liability allocations to protect vessel owners while providing charterers with clear operational guidelines.
International yacht charters involve complex jurisdictional and regulatory considerations. We provide guidance on international maritime regulations, foreign cruising permits, customs requirements, and jurisdiction-specific provisions to ensure charter agreements address the unique aspects of international operations and provide adequate protection in multiple jurisdictions.
