I think charter brokers provide a great service. It’s naive however to think you can’t get a better price not using a broker, especially with the smaller companies. They know exactly what they have to pay a broker. If you’re negotiating for discounts it’s certainly going to be a factor. I witnessed one company telling a charterer that next time please book directly with them and they would give a additional 5% off. Ultimately the bottom line is the bottom line. Many companies in the BVI once charged extra to use a credit card because again it impacts their revenue. I think the credit card companies have however tried to stop that practice.
