Run your fleet on
one ledger.
Plan trips, assign captains, and pre-book slip stops — conflicts surfaced before commit. Pay every crew share from the same trip ledger. Settle with the boat owner, the agency, and the suppliers in one weekly close. No spreadsheets, no exports, no reconciliation drift.
The charter operator’s job, in three lines.
Plan a trip with vessel, captain, and slip stops in one builder. Pay every crew share from the same ledger that posted the charter. Settle with the boat owner, the agency, and the suppliers in one weekly close.
The trip is the unit of work.
Build a charter as a single trip — vessel, captain, crew, and slip stops in one pass. Conflicts surface before commit: a double-booked captain, a slip overlap, a draft mismatch, an expired licence. The trip is the row in the ledger; everything else (payouts, settlements, audit) hangs off it.
Pay the crew from the trip.
Each role carries a share rule — percent of gross, percent of net, base fee, or per-day. Yatlas reads the trip ledger, applies the rule, and posts the payout from the same row that booked the charter. Every crew member sees a statement; the boat owner sees a clean net remit.
Every charter document, on the ledger.
Charter party, beneficial-ownership letter, vessel registry, MARPOL log, charter-yacht insurance rider, captain credentials, crew STCW — every paper is uploaded once and stamped on the audit ledger. The trip references the doc; the doc never travels in an inbox attachment again.
Weekly close. Owner, agency, suppliers, in one ledger.
Powertranz under licence from CBOB settles in BSD or USD against the charter merchant account. The weekly close splits gross by boat-owner share, agency commission, captain bonus, supplier reimbursements, and Yatlas fee. Every line is provenance-stamped to a trip; every trip exports as a single audit packet.
Fleets on Yatlas, by the numbers.
What charter operators ask on the kick-off call
Neither — Yatlas is the operating ledger underneath your existing broker, agency, or in-house sales motion. Run a MYBA-standard charter with an agency? The split is configured per trip. Run a direct booking? Skip the agency line. Yatlas doesn't replace your sales channel; it replaces the spreadsheet and the inbox.
Yatlas posts payouts and pay statements; the employment relationship stays between you and your crew. Most fleets we work with run captain + senior crew as employees on the Bahamian payroll, and rotational / temp crew as contractors with per-day rules. We integrate with NIB filings on the employee side and 1099-equivalent reporting on the contractor side.
Yes. The MYBA charter party is a first-class document type — uploaded once, signed copies attached to the trip, hash anchored on the audit ledger. APA top-ups, provisioning expenses, and end-of-charter reconciliation post to the same trip ledger; the final APA refund (or top-up demand) is one click.
Powertranz under licence from CBOB settles in BSD or USD against your Bahamian merchant account. Cross-currency charterers (EUR, GBP) are converted at the booking timestamp via Powertranz; you receive in BSD or USD, no third-currency leakage. Settlement matrix shows the original currency in a separate column for the audit trail.
Yes. The captain’s app posts daily MARPOL log entries to the trip ledger. Port-of-Registry filings (Bahamas Maritime Authority for BS-flagged charter yachts) export as a year-end packet. We integrate with the Bahamas Port Department's vessel-clearance API where it’s the vessel doing the clearing.
Fleet engagement is a 30-minute scoping call, then a 3-week onboarding. Week 1: vessel + captain + crew + share-rule normalization. Week 2: charter party templates, MYBA / agency setup, payment account. Week 3: live test trip, pay statement walk-through, soft launch. Onboarding desk is Bahamian-staffed; rate sheet under NDA after the scoping call.
Bring your fleet. Run it on one ledger before the next charter season.
