The verdict in three sentences
In Antwerp, a local agency charges roughly 7 000 to 45 000 EUR for a yacht and private jet charter brokerage website as a 2026 order of magnitude, with luxury-focused studios at the top of that range. Kolonell delivers a discreet site built around qualified quote requests at a fixed price: 2 700 EUR, 4 500 EUR or 8 200 EUR, with a French and English bilingual version from Premium and Dutch supplied by you or quoted separately. Price is not the only issue: a broker's site must state clearly who operates the flight or the vessel, and many Antwerp sites get that wrong.
What do an Antwerp agency, a freelancer and Kolonell charge?
These ranges are cautious and unofficial. They draw on public price grids from Antwerp and Flemish agencies, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles of Belgian agencies, hourly rates published by local studios (often 75 to 130 EUR per hour) and rates shown on Malt and Upwork.

The local agency keeps the edge if you want art direction with a shoot on the apron or on board, and in-person meetings near the Meir. Kolonell works remotely: Google Meet calls at your hour, a written update every week, a team in Senegal (GMT), one to two hours behind Belgium. Payment by bank transfer or Wise, 50% at kickoff, 50% on delivery. Terms are on our international offer.
Who are an Antwerp broker's clients?
Antwerp combines wealthy local clients (trading, diamonds, port and chemical industry, Flemish entrepreneurial families), executives travelling to European industrial sites, and holidaymakers who charter a yacht in the Mediterranean in summer. Antwerp airport handles light business aviation, and longer flights often depart from Brussels or nearby airports. For yachts, Antwerp clients mostly charter elsewhere: the French Riviera, the Balearics, Croatia, Greece. The site should reflect that reality without claiming a fleet based on the Scheldt.

| Services (private flights, business flights, yachts, empty legs) | Summary page | One page per service | Pages per service and per destination |

Premium adds the full French and English version, useful if you also serve Brussels and an international clientele.
Broker or operator: what must the site say?
This is the central compliance point. In aviation, the operator holds the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and runs the flight; the broker arranges and sells the service. The site must never suggest the broker is the operator: avoid "our fleet" if you own none, and name or specify the operator in every confirmation. The European framework falls under EASA and, in Belgium, the civil aviation authority within the FPS Mobility and Transport. For yachts, the charter contract is often based on an industry standard template, and the site should separate brokerage from vessel management. Forms fall under the GDPR, overseen in Belgium by the Data Protection Authority. This is not legal advice.

Mini case study
Illustrative example. Pieter V. and his business partner run a small brokerage in Antwerp: business flights to European industrial sites in winter, yachts in the Mediterranean in summer. Their old site says "our fleet" and uses a single form. An Antwerp agency quotes 30 000 EUR for a new trilingual site.
They choose Kolonell Premium at 8 200 EUR, French and English included, with separate jet and yacht paths and a page on their broker status, and have the site translated into Dutch for 2 200 EUR. Total: 10 400 EUR, which is 19 600 EUR less. Visuals come from their partner operators, with written permission for each image.
