Accepting large payments in yacht and marine charter

A large ticket is not a bigger version of a small one. It changes the limit, the reserve, the funding schedule and what happens if the customer changes their mind.

What underwriting asks about size

Average ticket, highest ticket, how far ahead of delivery you take money, and what happens if the customer cancels. The gap between payment and delivery is the exposure — a deposit taken months before the work is months of chargeback risk the acquirer carries.

Charter, brokerage and marina revenue rarely belong on the same rail, and the structure follows from where the big numbers sit.
