Understanding My Yachts and Network Yachts

DinghyFleet separates the yachts you actively work with from the wider inventory available through your operator network. Understanding that distinction makes it easier to build offers quickly without turning your catalogue into a list of every yacht you have ever seen.

My Yachts is your working catalogue. It does not mean that you legally own every yacht shown there.

The model at a glance

Concept	What it means
My Yachts	Your broker organization's working catalogue of broker-managed yacht records used in offers.
Network Yachts	Operator-managed yachts available to discover through operators in your DinghyFleet network.
Operator	The organization responsible for managing a yacht and its charter operations.
Partnership	The confirmed commercial relationship between your organization and a network operator.

My Yachts

My Yachts is the catalogue your broker organization works from. Every entry is a broker-managed record, and you can build it from four sources:

• Add yacht — enter the yacht manually.
• Import from URL — paste a single yacht page and let DinghyFleet read the details.
• Import fleet from website — import several yachts from an operator's fleet page in one pass.
• Import from Network Yachts — create a broker-managed record from an operator-managed yacht.

The name describes your working inventory, not legal ownership. A yacht can therefore appear in My Yachts even when another company owns or operates it.

Keeping this catalogue focused makes it easier to find familiar yachts and reuse them when creating offers.

Network Yachts

Network Yachts is the discovery layer. It lists operator-managed yachts available through operators in your DinghyFleet network.

A Network Yacht is not automatically part of My Yachts. Each row offers an Import action, described in the product as "Create a broker-managed yacht record from this operator-managed yacht." After importing, the row is marked Imported and DinghyFleet confirms with "Imported to My Yachts."

Think of Network Yachts as the wider market you can explore, while My Yachts is the smaller catalogue you have chosen to work with.

Using a Network Yacht in an offer

When you create a charter offer, the yacht picker offers two sources: My catalog and Network yachts. You can select a Network Yacht directly in the wizard — you do not have to import it beforehand.

What happens behind the scenes is still an import: when you save the offer, DinghyFleet creates (or matches) a broker-managed record in My Yachts for that yacht. Offers always reference your own catalogue record, never a raw operator record.

Operators

An Operator is the organization that manages yacht inventory and the operational side of a charter. Depending on the business, this can include:

• availability,
• charter pricing,
• base operations,
• check-in and handover,
• required documents,
• fulfilment of the booking.

A yacht and its operator are related but distinct records. The yacht is the asset presented to the client. The operator is the organization responsible for delivering the charter.

In the Operators list, each record is labelled by how it relates to your organization:

Record type	Meaning
Private record	An operator you keep locally in your own workspace.
Network operator	An operator visible through the DinghyFleet network, with no accepted partnership tracked yet.
Network partner	A network operator with an accepted partnership in DinghyFleet.

Partnerships

A Partnership represents the confirmed working relationship between your organization and a network operator. You start one with Request partnership, and the operator accepts it.

A partnership is about commercial clarity rather than access. Network Yachts from a linked network operator are already visible to you; the partnership records the agreed commission and payment terms, and removes the caveat that operator confirmation may still be needed before booking.

A partnership is not the same thing as a yacht, and adding an operator does not mean that every yacht in its fleet appears in My Yachts. This separation lets your operator network grow without making your working catalogue unmanageable.

From the network to a booking

1. Discover an operator or a yacht in your network.
2. Request a partnership with that operator when you want confirmed commercial terms.
3. Select the yacht for an offer, or import it into My Yachts first.
4. Build and share the offer with the client.
5. Convert the selected offer into a booking with Create Booking.

DinghyFleet keeps the operator relationship attached to the yacht throughout, so the origin of the inventory and the operational responsibility stay clear all the way into the booking.

Frequently asked questions

Does My Yachts mean yachts I own?

No. My Yachts is your organization's working catalogue of broker-managed yacht records. It may contain owned, managed, manually added, imported or partner-operated yachts.

Can I use a Network Yacht in an offer?

Yes. In the offer wizard, switch the yacht source to Network yachts and select it there. When you save, DinghyFleet creates or matches a broker-managed record in My Yachts for that yacht, so the offer always points at your own catalogue.

When does a yacht become part of My Yachts?

When your organization deliberately puts it there: Add yacht, Import from URL, Import fleet from website, Import from Network Yachts, or by selecting a Network Yacht while building an offer.

What is the relationship between an operator, a yacht and an offer?

The operator manages the charter inventory and operations. The yacht is the asset being offered. The offer presents that yacht and its commercial terms to the client. When the client selects an option, the agreed information moves forward into a booking.

Do all yachts from a partner operator appear in My Yachts?

No. A partnership describes the relationship with the operator. Its fleet stays in Network Yachts until you import the specific yachts you want, so My Yachts remains a curated working catalogue.
