EXPERIENCE
Our Approach To Charter Management.
White Sands LLC provides worldwide ship management as well as shore and offshore support services, including crew, financial, liability, insurance, contracting and refitting management and operations. We support, represent and assist owners, captains and crew in all areas of vessel operation.
Complimenting the way a vessel operates, our full on-site management services centralize the communications and accounting and all marine related operations to the yacht and superyacht ownership.
We offer our Expertise and Hands on Execution as a continuing service for Owners, Captains and Crew, to assure a smooth running of their yacht at all times.
With busy ‘back-to-back’ charter seasons and many owners maximizing the use of their vessel, today’s Captain has little time to take care of the day-to-day operation, management, planning, and accounting duties aboard the yacht. Shore support through White Sands Yachts is a convenient, cost-effective solution and provides continuity over time.

Crew Payroll & Administration
Our team handles everything connected with the crew, looking after all crew-related logistics. White Sands Yachts removes the complications that inevitably come from the day-to-day management of a crewed yacht. Having dedicated and impartial crew support is beneficial to both the owner, to the crew and your valued guests on board.
Services we provide include the management of taxes, compliance and crew medical liabilities, as well as all logistics, repatriation and vacation requirements. We also handle any complaint procedures and all employment contracts, ensuring that all paperwork is up to date and legal. The benefits of our Crew Management division are many, including taking over the headache of time-consuming payroll demands and ensuring zero owner liability for crew compliance.

Management Obligations
For many owners, the benefits of chartering their yacht go beyond generating income. A busy yacht is a yacht where the crew is motivated and the systems are fully utilized and therefore reliable.
White Sands yacht Charter has a proven track record with yacht charter management that delivers a white-glove experience for the owner, as we handle every aspect of the charter contract to maximize charter revenue. On a contractual basis, we will market and promote the yacht and handle all administrative, Class, regulations, and MYBA contractual obligations.
