Our Story

Founded by international charter specialist, Jill Zwaans, YACHT STORY was established in May 2021 in Antwerp, inspired by the growing demand for a professional partner in yacht charter services. The increasing demand for travel and private yachting escapes organized from A to Z, by a single contact person, was the key factor for creating this boutique charter company.

YACHT STORY understands exactly what clients need when chartering a yacht. The YACHT STORY team possess the experience and the tools necessary to bring owners and charter clients together through its vast number of contacts and worldwide online network.

Besides worldwide access to all charter yachts on the market for their direct clients, YACHT STORY also acts as a Central Agent for a growing number of owners, handing the commercial management of their asset over to the company.

Today, YACHT STORY offers the largest fleet in the BENELUX under exclusive management, with yachts mainly based in popular locations such as Maldives, Seychelles, Mediterranean, Caribbean, Indonesia, Northern Europe, Cabo Verde and South Pacific (French Polynesia, Fiji, Tonga, etc.).

Jill’s solid reputation, forged over years of dedicated work, is beautifully complemented by her deep-rooted passion for the sea, inspired by her family’s rich yachting heritage. Her mission is straightforward yet profound: to guide you and shape your travel expectations into unique private yachting escapes.

Let’s MAKE MEMORIES AT SEA!
