Yacht and private jet charter website cost in Brussels: local agencies vs Kolonell (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

In Brussels, a yacht and private aviation charter website costs, as a 2026 ballpark, 8 000 to 35 000 EUR with a local agency and 2 500 to 9 000 EUR with a freelancer. Kolonell builds the service, destination and partner fleet pages plus a qualified quote request (dates, route, passengers) for a fixed price of 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, with the bilingual FR/EN site included on Premium. Before comparing amounts, check that each quote addresses the distinction between broker and operator, the discretion owed to clients and the Dutch version.

This version is written for the English-speaking founders and managers of charter brokers in Brussels, many of whom serve the international community around the EU institutions.

What do Brussels agencies, freelancers and Kolonell charge?

These ranges are prudent ballparks, not official figures. They draw on public rate cards of Brussels agencies, minimum project sizes listed on Clutch.co profiles, hourly rates published by local agencies (often 80 to 130 EUR per hour) and rates visible on Malt and Upwork.

The project manager works in your time zone: the team is in Senegal (GMT), 1 to 2 hours behind Brussels depending on the season, with Google Meet calls at your hour and a written update every week. Payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % at delivery. Details are on our international website offer.

Which 3-year total cost should you compare?

Kolonell maintenance after the support period is quoted on request, so the table uses the same assumption on both sides.

These figures structure the comparison; they do not predict your invoice. Ask each supplier to fill in the same table.

What does each Kolonell tier include for a jet and yacht broker?

A client area with flight history, a real-time quoting engine or a connection to operators' availability platforms are custom applications, quoted on request.

What does a Brussels jet and yacht charter site need, and which rules apply?

Brussels concentrates EU institutions, NATO, embassies, multinational headquarters and public affairs firms: clients who travel fast, often at the last minute, and expect discretion. Departures are from Brussels Airport and Belgian regional airports; at sea, demand mostly concerns the Mediterranean in summer (French Riviera, Balearics, Croatia, Greece). The site should:

• ideally answer in three languages (FR, NL, EN), with Dutch supplied or quoted separately at Kolonell;
• offer a qualified quote request collecting dates, route, passenger count and constraints, with no unnecessary data;
• show an honest 24-hour availability: a reachable number, no promise of a ten-minute turnaround;
• list empty legs only from information supplied by operators, marked subject to availability;
• show no client names or photos.

On compliance, the facts: in the European Union, only an air carrier holding an air operator certificate (AOC) and an operating licence may operate flights, within the EASA rules; a broker arranges the flight on the client's behalf and must not present itself as the operator. In Belgium, the civil aviation authority sits within the FPS Mobility and Transport. The site therefore states the company's role clearly and that flights are operated by certified carriers. For yachts, charter contracts often follow industry templates such as those of MYBA. GDPR applies to quote requests, under the supervision of the Belgian Data Protection Authority, with a cookie banner and analytics consent. This is not legal advice.

How do you compare quotes, and which red flags matter?

• A site presenting you as an airline when you are a broker: refuse it.
• Aircraft or yacht photos without a licence from the operators or shipyards.
• A price without a written scope: page list, languages, forms.
• A form asking for a passport at first contact.
• A domain in the supplier's name.
• Mandatory long-term maintenance with no exit clause.

Mini case study

Illustrative example. Laurent D., founder of a four-person company arranging private jet flights and yacht charters from Avenue Louise, receives two proposals. A Brussels agency quotes 21 000 EUR for a trilingual FR/NL/EN site, delivered in 12 weeks. Kolonell proposes Premium at 8 200 EUR (FR/EN), with a written 5-week schedule, and Laurent hands the Dutch version to a translator for 900 EUR.

With the same maintenance assumption over 30 months (3 600 EUR on each side), the 3-year total comes to 24 600 EUR with the agency versus 12 700 EUR with Kolonell, a gap of 11 900 EUR. Laurent picks Kolonell to be live before the yacht season in April, and uses images licensed from his partner operators.
