The verdict in three sentences
In Luxembourg, a website for a yacht and private aviation charter business built by a local agency costs, as a 2026 order of magnitude, between 8 000 and 30 000 EUR, and considerably more with a booking engine or online price calculator. Kolonell builds the jet and yacht pages, destinations, qualified quote request forms and a clear explanation of the broker's role at a fixed price of 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR, written natively in French or English, bilingual FR/EN from Premium. The right choice depends on three-year total cost, on the quality of the requests you receive and on transparency towards operators, more than on the photo gallery alone.
This version is written for the English-speaking founders of yacht and private jet charter businesses in Luxembourg; the primary version is in French, with the same figures.
How much does a private jet and yacht broker website cost in Luxembourg?
The ranges below are cautious orders of magnitude, not official rates. They rely on public price lists of agencies in Luxembourg and the Greater Region, on minimum project sizes shown on Clutch.co profiles, on hourly rates commonly published by agencies in the country (often 100 to 160 EUR per hour) and on freelance rates displayed on Malt and Upwork.
| Criterion | Luxembourg agency | Greater Region freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build, 2026 order of magnitude | 8 000 to 30 000 EUR and more | 3 000 to 9 000 EUR | 2 700 EUR / 4 500 EUR / 8 200 EUR, fixed price |
| Booking engine or instant quote | Custom development, often 15 000 EUR and more | Rarely | Custom application, quoted separately |
| Page copy | Often billed separately | Rarely included | Native French or English included |
| German or Luxembourgish version | Often offered | Variable | Supplied by you or quoted separately |
| Timeline | 8 to 12 weeks | 5 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| In-person meetings | Yes | Yes | No: Google Meet calls at your hour |
| Support after launch | Maintenance contract | Case by case | 3 months, 6 in Premium |
Payment is by bank transfer or Wise: 50 % at kickoff, 50 % on delivery. The domain stays in your name and all access is handed over. A project manager follows you in your time zone, with a written update each week; the team is based in Senegal (GMT), one to two hours from Luxembourg depending on the season. For instance, Kolonell delivered for TR Signing Group, a notary in New Jersey, a bilingual FR/EN site with quote requests checked file by file and an appointment calendar: a different trade, but the same focus on qualified requests. The packages are detailed on our international offer.
What should a Luxembourg broker's site say, and what should it avoid?
Luxembourg has no coastline, and that is precisely what shapes the trade. Clients are senior people from the financial sector, family offices, staff of the European institutions in Kirchberg, entrepreneurs and wealthy families from the Greater Region who charter a yacht in the Mediterranean in summer (Côte d'Azur, Balearics, Croatia, Greece) and book private flights from Luxembourg-Findel airport to Nice, Geneva, Ibiza or London. They often speak French, German, English and Luxembourgish, and expect complete discretion.
What matters:
- The company's exact role. A broker arranges the flight or the charter; it does not operate the aircraft. In the European Union, only an operator holding an air operator certificate (AOC), issued by the national authority under EASA rules, operates a commercial flight. In Luxembourg, the competent authority is the Direction de l'aviation civile. The site must never suggest that the broker owns or operates the fleet shown.
- Aircraft categories rather than a fake fleet: light, midsize and long-range jets, helicopters, with indicative capacity and range, and a note that the aircraft is operated by a third-party operator named in the quote.
- For yachts, sheets by size and cruising area, with photos whose licence is clear; in Mediterranean chartering the MYBA charter agreement is widely used, and the site can explain it without offering legal advice.
- A qualified request form: route or cruising area, dates, number of passengers, luggage, pets, indicative budget, contact language.
- An empty legs page if you actually publish them, kept current, with no fictitious prices.
- Discretion: no client names, no passenger photos, no unauthorised testimonials.
On data, the GDPR applies, supervised by the Commission nationale pour la protection des données (CNPD): requests contain names, itineraries and sometimes information about public figures, to be handled with chosen hosting and retention periods. Displayed prices should be clear about what they include (taxes, airport fees, fuel, yacht provisioning), in line with consumer protection rules. This is not legal advice.
What does each package include for a charter business?
| Item | Starter 2 700 EUR | Growth 4 500 EUR | Premium 8 200 EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope | Jets or yachts | Jets and yachts | Jets, yachts, helicopters, extra services |
| Aircraft or yacht categories | One summary page | One page per category | Detailed sheets and comparison |
| Destinations | 4 to 6 destinations | 10 to 15 destinations | Seasonal destination guides |
| Quote request | Simple form | Form qualified by request type | Separate jet and yacht journeys |
| Empty legs | No | Editable page | Editable page with email alerts |
| Languages | One language | One language | Bilingual FR/EN; German supplied or quoted |
| Timeline and support | 3 to 4 weeks, 3 months | 3 to 4 weeks, 3 months | Usually 4 to 6 weeks, 6 months |
A booking engine connected to operator availability, a client area with flight history or an online price calculator are custom applications, quoted separately. Ongoing SEO is also quoted on request. Kolonell does not shoot on board: you use licensed visuals from operators and owners, or book a photographer.
What is the three-year total cost?
| Item over 36 months | Luxembourg agency (mid-range) | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|
| FR/EN website build | 16 000 EUR | 8 200 EUR |
| German version | Option, 1 800 EUR | Supplied or quoted, assumption 1 800 EUR |
| Licensed visuals | 900 EUR | 900 EUR |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 130 EUR a month for 33 months, 4 290 EUR | 4 290 EUR, quoted separately |
| Six new destination pages | 1 200 EUR | Quoted before work, assumption 900 EUR |
| Indicative total | 24 190 EUR | 16 090 EUR |
Kolonell maintenance beyond support is quoted separately, hence the identical assumption on both sides. Use the table as a reading grid and have each provider complete it.

Mini case study
Illustrative example. Julien D. founded a three-person private flight brokerage in Kirchberg. He is adding Mediterranean yacht charters for next season and wants a bilingual site that clearly separates the two activities. A Luxembourg agency offers 17 500 EUR over 10 weeks, with a German version at 1 800 EUR. Kolonell offers Premium at 8 200 EUR, bilingual FR/EN, on a written 5-week plan, with German translated by a provider Julien picks for 1 600 EUR.
Build and German: 19 300 EUR against 9 800 EUR, a 9 500 EUR difference. Julien uses part of it to book a photographer in Antibes on two partner yachts, with the owners' written consent. He notes one limit: an instant quoting tool connected to operators would require a custom application, quoted separately.
FAQ
How much does a private jet broker website cost in Luxembourg?
As a 2026 order of magnitude, plan for 8 000 to 30 000 EUR with a local agency, more with a booking engine. Kolonell offers 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 EUR at a fixed price.
Can a broker show aircraft as its own fleet?
No, that would be misleading: only the operator holding the AOC operates the commercial flight. The site shows aircraft categories and states that the operator is named in each quote.
Can the site be in French, English and German?
Bilingual FR/EN is included in Premium at 8 200 EUR. German or Luxembourgish are supplied by you or quoted separately, often 1 500 to 2 000 EUR of translation for a site of this size.
Does Kolonell provide yacht photos?
No, Kolonell does no shooting. Visuals come from operators and owners under licence, or from a photographer you book.
How long to be live before the season?
3 to 4 weeks for Starter and Growth, usually 4 to 6 weeks for Premium. Launching in March leaves time to adjust the site before summer requests.
