The real problem

Your charter ads get attention. Not deposits.

Luxury experiences require trust before booking. Most boat rental ads push straight to a high-ticket offer without building the desire first. We fix the funnel from the top down.

Dreamers, not bookers
We build two-stage funnels — desire-building creative first, then direct conversion offers — so you reach buyers who are actually ready.
Seasonal bookings, no off-season strategy
We build shoulder-season campaigns for corporate events, milestone celebrations, and gift experiences — revenue outside peak season.
Tyre-kickers wasting your team's time
We qualify buyers in the funnel with the right friction — so your team only speaks to people serious about booking.

Frequently asked questions

Paid ads for boats & yacht rentals — FAQ

How do I get qualified charter inquiries, not dreamers?

Two-stage funnel. Stage 1 is desire-building creative (your fleet, past charters, destinations) — broad reach, low cost. Stage 2 retargets only people who watched 50%+ of the video or visited the booking page. Then we serve the actual booking offer. Dreamers self-filter; bookers convert.

What's a good cost per charter booking inquiry?

Direct booking inquiries run $30–$120 per lead depending on charter size. Day charters lower, week-long luxury higher. We track cost per signed deposit — typically 5-12% of charter value is the breakeven. Anything below 5% is a campaign that's working.

Can I run boat rental ads year-round in cold-season locations?

Yes, but for different intents. Off-season ads target gift purchases (holidays, anniversaries, birthdays) and corporate events (team retreats, client experiences). Same yacht, completely different funnel. Most operators leave these revenue lines untouched because they only think about peak summer.

How do I handle the 'price please' inquiries that never book?

Qualify in the form. Ask for date range, party size, and 'realistic budget tier' (under €X / X-Y / over Y). Tyre-kickers drop off at the budget question. The ones who complete the form are pre-committed enough to actually book.
