Private Charters, Yachts, Jets, and CruisesPayments to your wallet.

Collect charter deposits, voyage balances, crew fees, and last-minute private travel invoices without sending luxury clients to a generic payment page.

Collect charter deposits before reserving crew, vessel time, aircraft slots, or itinerary capacity.

Private yachts, jets, cruises, and chartered experiences involve large deposits, custom itineraries, and clients who expect discretion. MakePay lets the operator send a branded invoice link for the exact charter or balance, with paid status before crew, aircraft, berth, or vessel commitments move forward.

A private charter is high-value and schedule-sensitive. The operator may be blocking a yacht, jet, crew, berth, aircraft slot, or cruise itinerary for one client.

Crypto can fit this audience because clients may pay internationally and expect faster settlement than bank wires.

MakePay can collect booking deposits, balance payments, fuel or provisioning charges, and late itinerary changes through branded links.

What MakePay helps with

  • Custom-domain payment pages support high-value trust
  • Deposit and balance links can match the charter reference
  • 0% merchant fee by default helps on large private invoices
  • Settlement does not sit in a gateway custody balance

Plan around the friction.

  • Large card payments create fee and limit friction
  • Wires can miss charter deadline windows
  • Generic processor pages look wrong for luxury bookings
  • Operators need proof before reserving crew or capacity

01 / Practical guide

Why charter payments need high-trust checkout

The payment confirms more than a reservation. It may trigger crew scheduling, supplier deposits, marina planning, aircraft positioning, or route preparation.

A branded payment page with the right reference is safer than asking a premium client to send funds to a bare address.

Dates are scarce

Paid deposits protect the operator before inventory is held.

Large amounts expose fees

0% merchant fee by default is valuable when invoice sizes are high.

Custom branding matters

Premium clients expect the payment experience to match the service level.

02 / Practical guide

How MakePay fits private booking workflows

Use a payment link for the exact charter quote, deposit, balance, or add-on. Keep the charter reference and payment purpose easy to read.

API and webhooks can support operators that already manage bookings through a CRM or broker portal.

Deposits first

Collect commitment before reserving vessel, aircraft, crew, or itinerary.

Balance requests

Send follow-up links for the final balance or extras.

Charter wallet settlement

Keep settlement aligned with the operator's treasury process.

Questions before you start.

Is crypto suitable for luxury charters?

It can be, especially for international and high-value clients who already prefer wallet payments.

Can this work with brokers?

Yes. Brokers can send branded links and keep references tied to the charter file.
