This report, after presenting the methodology, begins with an industry global overview section, which is particularly useful for readers who are not familiar with the details of the yacht charter industry. Namely, the yacht charter industry is very specific, and in many ways non-standard, so it can be quite useful to deepen the understanding of its main concepts before proceeding further.

This is followed by a section explaining some of the key characteristics of the major participants in the yacht charter market - i.e. the three distinct kinds of companies that dynamically interact in order for the yacht charter market to function.

The next section contains important insights into yacht charter agencies. It analyses and provides research results on the aspects of specialization and competitiveness, as well as the market concentration and market profitability in the yacht charter industry.
