Terms of Service
Last updated: 8 May 2026
1. Brokerage role
Yacht Genius AI ("we", "us") is a charter brokerage. We do not own, operate, insure, or crew the yachts in our database. Charter agreements are executed between the guest ("you") and the yacht owner or its appointed management company on a standard MYBA-form contract.
Our role is to source matched yachts, present verified specifications, facilitate the inquiry, and support the booking process up to and including the post-charter debrief.
2. Information accuracy
Yacht specifications, photos and rates are sourced from the Central Yacht Agent (CYA) feed and refreshed daily. While we work to maintain accuracy, we cannot guarantee real-time correctness at the moment of viewing. Crew rotations, refits, and seasonal repositioning happen frequently in this market.
Final, contractually-binding details — base rate, APA, taxes, embarkation port, crew composition, water toys aboard — are confirmed in your charter agreement, not in any listing or AI response.
3. Use of Gizmo (AI concierge)
Gizmo is an information assistant. Its responses are grounded in our verified database and are designed not to invent yacht details, prices or itineraries. However, no AI output should be treated as binding. Bookings, prices and availability are confirmed by a human consultant before any contract is executed.
You agree not to attempt to extract proprietary fleet data from Gizmo at scale, automate scraping, or use its output for any commercial purpose other than planning your own charter.
4. Inquiry process
Submitting an inquiry is not a booking commitment. A consultant will reply within one business day with a shortlist and live availability. You may decline any quote without penalty. Booking is initiated only when you sign the charter agreement and pay the agreed deposit.
5. Payments
Payment terms are set by the yacht's management company in the charter agreement. Typical terms: 50% on signing to confirm, 50% before embarkation, plus an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA, typically 30%) for fuel, food, beverages, harbour fees and shore-side excursions. Unused APA is refunded at the end of the charter.
Yacht Genius AI does not hold guest funds. Payments flow directly to the management company's escrow account per the charter agreement.
6. Cancellation and changes
Cancellation terms are set by the charter agreement and depend on time-to-embarkation. We strongly recommend Charter Insurance covering cancellation (CFAR), damage, and travel medical. Your consultant can introduce a broker.
7. Intellectual property
Site content (copy, design, code, the Gizmo system prompt and grounding architecture) is the property of Yacht Genius AI. The Yacht Genius AI name, logo, and "Gizmo" are trademarks. Yacht photography and specifications are licensed from the respective management companies for use within the brokerage relationship.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Yacht Genius AI is not liable for incidents, injuries, delays, weather disruptions, or losses occurring during a chartered voyage. These fall under the charter agreement and the yacht's insurance.
Our aggregate liability for any claim arising from your use of this site or our services is limited to the brokerage commission earned on the relevant charter, or USD $500 if no charter was booked.
9. Acceptable use
You agree not to: scrape the fleet database; redistribute Gizmo responses commercially; reverse-engineer the system; harvest contact details of yacht owners or crew; submit false inquiries to test pricing.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA. Any dispute arising from these terms or your use of the site is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Broward County, Florida. The parties waive any right to a jury trial in such proceedings.
11. Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be flagged on the homepage for 14 days. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance.
12. Yacht Listing Program (owners & brokers)
The following terms apply when you submit a vessel through “List Your Yacht.”
Fee & Billing
Listing Fee: $49 USD per month per yacht (or applicable multi-listing tier — see pricing table). Payment arrangements will be confirmed directly with our team upon listing approval. You may cancel at any time; your listing remains active through the end of the current billing period and is then removed.
Lead Ownership & Routing
All inquiries generated through this listing (via Gizmo, contact forms, phone, or email) are routed exclusively to the contact designated at submission. If a company is named, you are representing that company and are solely responsible for managing the resulting inquiry on its behalf. Yacht Genius AI does not retain, resell, or redirect leads to any other party.
Authorization to List
By submitting this listing, you represent and warrant that you are either (a) the legal owner/operator of the vessel, or (b) authorized by the owner to list, market, and receive inquiries on their behalf, including on behalf of any company named. Yacht Genius AI relies on this representation and bears no responsibility for verifying any agreement between you and the vessel owner.
Company Disclosure
If listing on behalf of a company, you confirm that the company information provided is accurate, and that you have sole responsibility for compliance with all applicable disclosure and commission laws in your jurisdiction regarding this listing and any resulting transaction. Yacht Genius AI is not a party to, and receives no commission from, any sale or charter arising from this listing.
No Guarantee / No Brokerage Services
Yacht Genius AI provides marketing exposure and lead delivery only. We do not act as a broker, agent, or transaction party, do not guarantee a sale, charter, or any minimum number of leads, and are not responsible for the accuracy of pricing, specs, or availability once inquiries are routed to you.
Content License
You grant Yacht Genius AI a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the photos, specs, and descriptions you submit for marketing, SEO, and AI (Gizmo) purposes for as long as your listing remains active or paid for.
Accuracy & Removal
You are responsible for keeping pricing, availability, and specs current. Yacht Genius AI may remove any listing found to be inaccurate, fraudulent, expired, or in violation of these terms.
Cancellation / Non-Payment
If payment is not completed or maintained as arranged with our team, your listing may be deactivated until resolved. No leads will be routed while a listing is inactive.
Multi-Listing Accounts
Owners or companies listing multiple vessels will be billed according to the multi-listing pricing tier in effect at the time of listing, as confirmed directly with our team.
