A bilingual platform for a yacht broker based in Porto Cervo: sales, charter, yacht management and concierge in one system. 180 yachts across 11 destinations with dedicated editorial pages, smart search, charter enquiries with live rates and availability, a brokerage area. Alongside the site, the internal deal system and the format system that holds together the feed, the boat-show carousels and private line-ups.

Context

Your Charter is a yacht broker based in Porto Cervo. They buy and sell boats, charter them, manage them on behalf of their owners and look after guests with a dedicated concierge: four services, a catalogue of 180 yachts across 11 destinations and an international clientele. They needed a bilingual platform able to hold catalogue, editorial content and enquiries in one system, without sales looking like a footnote to charter. Over time the scope grew: alongside the site came the internal deal system, the social channels and the campaigns.

Challenge

Putting 180 yachts and 11 destinations online without reducing them to anonymous listings. Every yacht and every destination deserved a real editorial page. Charterers had to see live rates and availability; buyers had to find the full specification and a broker to call; search had to reach the right boat in a few steps. All of it in two languages. Then the challenge you see less: keeping site, content and management coherent as the project continues, instead of letting them take three separate roads.

01The home page

Strategy

We set the platform on two tracks: catalogue and content. On one side smart search, with filters that narrow the field fast; on the other dedicated editorial pages for every yacht and every destination, telling before selling. Sales, charter, management and concierge share one architecture without overlapping: the same boat can be for sale and for charter, and its page says so with a single entry. Above all of it, a single design system: the same colours, the same typography and the same spacing hold for the site, for the internal tool and for the content.

The search panel open on the home page: destination, guests, dates, budget and category, with destinations split between summer and winter
02Search, with destinations by season

Design

A clean, photographic interface. Yacht pages give room to the images and to the essential information; destination pages act as editorial guides. Search and enquiry stay within reach, on desktop and on mobile, and the hierarchy keeps navigation orderly even with a large catalogue. Navy, sand and ivory, no gold: the brand stays away from the nautical cliché and close to the editorial.

The fleet catalogue filtered to «Yacht – fino a 30 metri»: each card carries guests, cabins, length, tenders and speed
03The catalogue, filterable by type and length

Development

A catalogue of 180 yachts with structured pages, smart search with filters, charter enquiries with live rates and availability, a brokerage area with full specifications and the broker in charge, yacht management pages and a concierge form. Analytics built in to read user behaviour. All bilingual IT/EN, driven by a single content base.

The enquiry does not start from an empty form: a six-step guided path — experience, destination, dates, yacht type, budget, contact — hands the team a brief that is already written, carrying the preferences you would normally uncover on the third phone call.

The internal system

Alongside the public platform we built the system that carries the broker's daily work: charter and sale enquiries in one queue, the status of each deal, fleet availability and the history of quotes. Public catalogue and internal archive rest on the same content base, so a boat is updated once and changes in both languages. It is the part of the project you can't see by browsing the site, and the one that changes the working day of the people in the agency.

The format system

The part that grew most. These aren't posts: they are formats, and they repeat. Six families decided once — margins, type scale, where the mark sits — inside which only the boat and the story change: destinations, yacht sheets, flagship full tours, lifestyle, platform and brand, boat shows. The last two produce real documents: The Selection, a private line-up of seven yachts across sale and charter, unlisted on the site and opened from a QR; and the show carousels, which prepare the week in Cannes and in Monaco with hours, figures and what is actually worth going to see.

The yacht deck is the yacht sheet taken to full length: sixteen boards, from the cover to the contact page. The Riva Ego 68 and the Riva 88 Folgore share the structure and the idea — one photograph running across several boards: the colour panorama over three, and on the Folgore a black-and-white interlude over two as well. You only see that by leafing through, so leafing through is what the page gives you.

Social and content

We run the Your Charter channels with those same formats. On Instagram every yacht gets its own card — aerial footage, highlights for fleet, services, destinations and concierge — and the grid reads as one series rather than a row of unconnected posts. Anyone arriving from the feed finds the same visual language on the site: it is the same design system, not a resemblance.

Advertising and visibility

The campaigns send qualified traffic to the editorial pages, where a charter or purchase enquiry is one step away. Yacht pages and destination pages are also built to be found: a clean bilingual structure, real content, no duplicate pages between the two languages.

Results

Your Charter has a platform that holds sales, charter, management and concierge together, an internal system that carries the deals, and a content system that speaks the same language. Since July, since it went live, more than 40 charter and sale enquiries have come in. The editorial pages give every yacht and every destination a space of its own, and smart search shortens the road to the right boat. The platform is live at yourcharter.it, and content and advertising continue with us.
