Charter-ready is a process, not a status.
The same sequence on every visit, so nothing depends on memory and every yacht in a fleet is checked the same way.

Readiness questions.
How is this different from regular service?
Service fixes what is broken. Readiness checks what works and documents it, so problems are found before the guests find them. The two work together.
Do you check equipment you did not sell?
Yes. The program is brand-agnostic: whatever is on board gets checked, tested and documented.
Can the report be shared with insurers and brokers?
Yes. The report is written to be handed to the captain, the management company, the broker and the yacht's insurers.
What happens if something fails?
It is flagged, quoted and repaired, then tested again. The yacht is signed off as ready only when it passes.
Is the Readiness Certificate a government or insurer certification?
No. It is issued by Aqua Flight on the basis of the completed program. It gives owners, captains and management companies documented evidence of equipment management, crew training and battery practice that they can share with their insurers and partners.
How does the annual membership work?
The yacht is enrolled for the year. We run the initial evaluation and training, keep the records, support the crew through the season and renew the certificate at the annual re-evaluation. Levels depend on vessel size, the number of toys and the support needed.
How long does a readiness check take?
It depends on the number of toys, the crew to be trained and the condition of the equipment. The initial evaluation and training can take anywhere from half a day to several days. We scope it with you before we start.
Where do you run the program?
Worldwide. We run it from Fort Lauderdale, through our support in the Bahamas and St. Martin, and along the yacht's itinerary wherever it is.
