Private jet, charter yacht— introduced by the travel desk.

We don't broker. We don't fly or sail. We put your dates to licensed operators and come back with one short answer: a tail number, a vessel, a crew. The operator then quotes, contracts and charges you directly.

How this desk works

Four steps. One concierge.

You don't talk to the operator. You talk to your concierge, who talks to the operator. That's the entire structure.

01

You tell us.

City to city, dates, how many. If you have a tail number or a vessel in mind, we take it from there.

02

We short-list.

Your concierge briefs the operators the same morning. We aim to have one or two options back within 24 hours.

03

We line it up.

We time the flight or charter around your stay. The operator confirms and invoices you directly — separate from your stay.

04

We keep watch.

If plans change, we let the operator and your stay know, so the two still fit together.

The jet desk

Three categories, not fifty aircraft.

We keep the choices narrow on purpose. These are the categories we ask operators about. Anything outside them, we say so.

Light · 4 — 6 pax

Short & nimble.

For hops under 3 hours — the city-pair runs. Lands at smaller fields the big jets can't reach.

The yacht desk

Three sizes. Four waters.

Charter in the Med, the Caribbean, the Andaman and the Aegean. Weekly or by day, timed around your stay. We put your enquiry to charter houses for your dates — the charter is your own contract with them.

Day · 1 — 10 guests

The day boat.

12 — 18 m

Hops along the coast — lunch at an island, a swim, home by sunset. The classic hotel-day-out. Rented from the harbour next to the stay.

Who we ask

The operators we look for.

Deliberately narrow. Licensed private-jet operators and yacht-charter houses, found for your trip and named to you before you commit. EWS has no standing agreement with any operator — each enquiry is put to operators afresh, and the one you choose contracts with you directly.

Private aviation

Long range

Operators with heavy and ultra-long-range jets, for trans-European and inter-continental trips.

Private aviation

Europe & short-field

Operators with light and midsize jets for the Alps and the Mediterranean, including short-field airports.

Yacht charter

Med & Caribbean

Charter houses across the Med and the Caribbean, from a day boat to a full-charter explorer.

Yacht charter

Asia & Indian Ocean

Charter houses in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean — the Andaman, Indonesia and the Maldives.

We don't take a mark-up. We don't broker. We're a filter between you and the right operator: we do the asking, the checking and the timing around your stay, and you decide.

Three questions. One answer, inside 24 hours.

The travel desk reads every enquiry. We never auto-reply. The operator's quote comes back to you within 24 hours; if you go ahead, you book and pay the operator directly.
