Freqently Asked Questions:
Does CharterWave Direct drive clients to the CharterWave.com website?
No. The word "CharterWave" appears nowhere in your final product, even if you choose the basic edition. To the reader, your edition of CharterWave Direct seems as though it were created exclusively by and for your company or yacht.
Can anyone purchase an edition of CharterWave Direct?
No. Like all advertising on the CharterWave.com website, editions of CharterWave Direct are available only to reputable charter brokers, management companies, and charter yachts. These include brokers who are members of MYBA, CYBA International, FYBA, and AYCA, and charter yachts that accept bookings through reputable brokers and central agencies.

How does CharterWave Direct compare environmentally?
Traditional marketing materials printed on thick, glossy paper contribute mightily to the problem of global climate change—by requiring trees to be cut, by adding to landfills, and by increasing carbon dioxide emissions when they are carried on mail trucks. The paper industry is the fourth-largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the United States alone, and paper accounts for one-quarter to one-third of landfill waste. Reducing office paper use in the United States by just 10 percent would be the equivalent of taking 280,000 cars off the road. And that’s office paper—not the thick, glossy paper used in traditional charter marketing materials.
The electronic versions of CharterWave Direct cause no harm to the environment. Not a single tree is felled, not a single piece of paper enters a landfill, and no carbon dioxide is emitted when we transmit your edition to you—or when you transmit your edition to your clients. You get all the benefits of a fully customized marketing piece at a fraction of the typical price, and you can honestly tell your clients that “going green” is one of your priorities.
