Yacht charter agreements

Structuring yacht charter agreements and allocating commercial risks

Yacht chartering involves a complex balance between commercial objectives, operational requirements, regulatory compliance, and private interests. We advise clients on structuring charter arrangements to ensure clarity of obligations, proper allocation of risk and protection of revenue streams.

Key considerations

Poorly structured charter agreements may result in disputes, liability exposure, operational restrictions or loss of income.
We help clients avoid these risks by ensuring that charter arrangements are clear, enforceable and aligned with the intended use of the yacht.

We assist with:

  • drafting and negotiation of yacht charter agreements;
  • structuring allocation of operational and commercial risks between the parties;
  • review of charter terms in light of intended use, trading areas and regulatory requirements;
  • advice on liability regimes and insurance provisions under charter arrangements;
  • alignment of charter agreements with flag state and operational requirements;
  • review and risk assessment of existing charter documentation.

We act for

  • yacht owners
  • charterers
  • yacht managers and operators
  • brokers

Our Approach

Deep knowledge of law and the industry

Rabomizo works with the norms of international maritime law and national maritime codes of various jurisdictions, grounded in a deep understanding of shipping operations and the commercial realities of the industry.

Experience in dispute resolution in international jurisdictions

We have represented clients in London, Greece, Turkey, Ukraine, Switzerland, Oman and other jurisdictions.

Rapid response in crisis situations

We promptly engage in communication with the parties involved, prepare well-grounded responses and develop a defence and negotiation strategy at any stage of the process.

Understanding of shipping operations

Our solutions take into account not only legal aspects but also the practical side of a shipowner’s or operator’s business. Clients do not need to spend time explaining – we understand the complexity of maritime processes and provide full support.

About us

Rabomizo law firm advises businesses engaged in transport and international trade, operating where assets, goods and services are crossing borders and changing the legal regimes. We support our clients in structuring solid business agreements, managing the risks and making decisions within complex multi-jurisdictional frameworks.

If the claims, delays, sanctions, restrictions, or disputes arise, we develop and implement a legal strategy, representing clients across the jurisdictions and legal systems. Our work combines sector knowledge with a clear understanding of the international regulatory environment.

We do not propose standardised solutions. We analyse the risks, assess the legal and commercial exposure, and provide clear, commercially grounded advice in cross-border matters.
