Yachting 101 with Sanderson Yachting
Over the past few years, Erin has heard countless stories from travel advisors who were underpaid on commissions, or lost yacht deals entirely simply because they didn’t know who to turn to when a client asked about chartering a private yacht.
To help bridge that gap, Erin offers a complimentary virtual education session exclusively for ASTA members:
**🛥️ Thinking About Booking Yacht Charters for Your Clients? Start Here. **
The session is designed to demystify yacht charters and show advisors that they are:
- ⚓ Easier to book than most people think
- 🌴 More accessible and affordable than commonly assumed
- 💸 Fully commissionable for travel advisors
“If it floats, I can book it and I want travel advisors to feel confident saying the same to their clients.”
Sanderson Yachting has been in business since 2006 and partners with travel advisors to plan unforgettable yacht vacations worldwide. Erin’s team has access to yachts ranging from crewed catamarans starting around $20,000 per week to ultra-luxury superyachts exceeding $3 million per week, ensuring options for every client and every level of luxury.
Sanderson Yachting is also MYBA and CYBA accredited—the gold standard in the yacht-charter industry, providing advisors with confidence, credibility, and trusted global support.
