Yacht and private jet charter website in Montreal: what local agencies charge vs Kolonell (2026)

The verdict in three sentences

In Montreal, a website for a yacht or private aviation charter business typically costs 10 000 to 40 000+ USD with a local agency (2026 ballpark, often invoiced in CAD) and 3 000 to 10 000 USD with a freelancer. Kolonell delivers fleet pages, destinations, quote requests and charter terms pages at a fixed 2 900, 4 900 or 8 900 USD, with native French and English copywriting, a direct advantage in Quebec. A local agency keeps the edge if you want regular shoots at the airport or on the water, or a team available in person every week.

What does this kind of site cost in Montreal in 2026?

There is no official price list. The ranges below are a prudent 2026 ballpark based on the public rate cards some agencies publish, the minimum project sizes shown on Clutch.co profiles and freelance platform rates (Upwork, Clutch listings). Amounts are converted to USD and vary with the number of aircraft or vessels presented, the languages and the integrations. Montreal agency hourly rates are commonly between 90 and 180 USD.

The domain is registered in your company's name and every access is handed over. Payment by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % to start and 50 % at delivery. Plan details are on our international website offer.

What should a yacht or jet charter website in Montreal include?

Clients in this sector decide quickly and expect discretion. The site has to reassure without promising what you do not control.

• Fleet: one page per aircraft or yacht (capacity, range or berths, amenities), with photos you hold the rights to; images supplied by a partner operator need their written permission.
• Clear status: state whether you are the operator or a broker. Commercial air services are regulated by Transport Canada, and yacht charters depend on the flag and the cruising area: have these statements validated by your adviser, with no safety claims and no promise of availability.
• Quote request: departure, destination, dates, passengers, luggage, pets. Your existing quoting or booking software is embedded or linked; a custom integration is quoted on request.
• Charter terms: cancellation, deposit, variable costs, written or validated by you, never invented.
• Languages: in Quebec, the Charter of the French Language governs the use of French in commercial communication, which includes your website. Kolonell writes natively in French and English; a bilingual FR/EN site is available from Premium, and any other language is supplied by you or quoted separately.
• Client data: forms limited to what you need, no client name published without consent. Quebec's Law 25 and PIPEDA are the usual references. This is not legal advice.

3-year cost and how to compare quotes

To compare two quotes, ask for the page list, who writes the copy, the number of design rounds, the written timeline and what support covers. Red flags: hosting locked to the agency with no exit, a "guaranteed first position" in search, testimonials written by the agency, or a mock-up showing aircraft you do not operate.

Mini case study

Illustrative example, not a real client: Marc-André runs a hypothetical business aviation broker near Dorval and serves both French and English-speaking clients. A Montreal agency quotes 24 000 USD plus 250 USD a month, so 33 000 USD over 3 years. With Kolonell Premium at 8 900 USD, bilingual FR/EN, he budgets 200 USD a month for hosting and quoted maintenance after the 6 included months of support: 30 x 200 = 6 000 USD. Total: 14 900 USD, about 18 100 USD less over 3 years, with the domain and access in his name.

FAQ

Why a remote studio for such a demanding clientele?

Because most of the work is copy, structure and visual quality, which are easy to run remotely. The team is based in Senegal (GMT), 4 to 5 hours ahead of Montreal, which leaves your mornings for Google Meet calls plus a written weekly update.

Can you display our flight or charter rates?

Only the rates you supply and approve. Most players show a quote request rather than a price, and we never invent rates; the form can hold 8 to 10 fields to qualify each request.

Can the site be in English only, or French only?

Yes, Starter at 2 900 USD and Growth at 4 900 USD are delivered in one language. For a full French and English site, which suits most Montreal companies, the bilingual plan is Premium at 8 900 USD.

Do you integrate with our booking software?

A standard embed or link to the tool you already use is included. A custom back office or availability sync is quoted on request.

What timeline should we plan?

3 to 4 weeks on Starter and Growth, 4 to 6 weeks on Premium with a written schedule at kickoff. You can request your free quote to get that schedule before committing.
