The short version
Yachts For Kings earns affiliate commissions, referral fees, and occasional sponsored placements from charter brokers, day charter platforms, brokerage firms, and shipyards. We disclose every link with rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow". We never adjust rankings or reviews based on the commission rate. We will refuse coverage rather than soften a review.

What you can do
If a link is not labeled and should be, write to us. If a ranking looks paid for, write to us. If a partner mistreats you after a referral, write to us. We track all of these and we change our rankings in response. Our inquiry form is monitored.
The complete commercial model lives at how we make money. Our review process lives at methodology.
