The verdict in three sentences
In Vaduz, a private jet broker that also arranges yacht charters abroad pays, as a 2026 ballpark, between 12 000 and 42 000 CHF for a website built by an agency in Liechtenstein or eastern Switzerland. Kolonell builds the service pages, aircraft categories, empty legs and qualified quote request for a fixed price of 2 700, 4 500 or 8 200 CHF. For clients as demanding as those of Vaduz's financial centre, compare the 3-year cost, how clearly the site states your broker status and how discreet the request journey is.
How much does a charter brokerage website cost in Vaduz?
The local market is small: many Vaduz businesses work with agencies in St. Gallen, Chur or Zurich, or even in Austria's Vorarlberg. The ranges below are prudent ballparks drawn from public rate cards of agencies in the region, minimum project sizes on Clutch.co profiles, published hourly rates (often 120 to 185 CHF per hour) and rates visible on Malt or Upwork.
| Criterion | Liechtenstein or eastern Swiss agency | Regional freelancer | Kolonell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build cost, 2026 ballpark | 12 000 to 42 000 CHF | 4 500 to 12 000 CHF | 2 700 / 4 500 / 8 200 CHF, fixed |
| Hourly change rate | 120 to 185 CHF | 85 to 130 CHF | Quoted before any work |
| Usual timeline | 8 to 14 weeks | 5 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks, Premium usually 4 to 6 |
| German copy | Native | Usually native | Supplied by you or quoted separately |
| English and French copy | Often subcontracted | Rarely | Native, bilingual FR/EN on Premium |
| Photos on the apron | Often offered | Sometimes | Not included: operators' images with consent, or a local photographer |
| Site ownership | Check | Check | Domain in your name, all access handed over |
To be clear: if your clients mostly write in German, a regional agency has the language advantage. Kolonell makes sense when English matters as much as German, which is common for the international clients of Vaduz's private banks and trust companies. Details on Kolonell's international offer.
Payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % at kickoff and 50 % at delivery. A project manager reachable in your time zone runs Google Meet calls at your hour and sends a weekly written update. The team is based in Senegal (GMT), one or two hours behind depending on the season.
What do clients expect from a Vaduz-based broker?
Vaduz has no airport and no port. The site should say so plainly, without inventing a base: private flights usually depart from St. Gallen-Altenrhein, Zurich or Friedrichshafen, and yacht charters take place elsewhere, mostly in the Mediterranean, for well-off local clients. The typical clientele includes executives of Rhine valley industrial firms, wealth managers, foundation board members and families heading off to ski or sail. The site has to:
- list realistic departure airports and transfer times from Vaduz;
- present aircraft categories (light, midsize, long-range jets) rather than a fleet you do not own;
- offer a qualified request form: route, dates, passengers, luggage, pets, indicative budget, flexibility;
- preserve confidentiality: no named references, no passenger photos, a phone call-back rather than a long written exchange.
Which 3-year cost gives an honest comparison?
Kolonell maintenance after the support period is quoted on request, so the table applies the same maintenance assumption on both sides.
| Item over 36 months | Regional agency (mid range) | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Build | 25 000 CHF | 4 500 CHF |
| Support included | Depends on contract | 3 months included |
| Maintenance (same assumption) | 160 CHF per month over 33 months, 5 280 CHF | 5 280 CHF, quoted on request |
| Full German version | Included | Supplied by you or quoted separately, assumption 2 000 CHF |
| Monthly empty-leg page update (36 times, 30 min) | 18 hours at 160 CHF, 2 880 CHF | Done by you in the editor, 0 CHF |
| Indicative total | 33 160 CHF | 11 780 CHF |
These figures are a grid, not a forecast of an invoice. Have every supplier fill in the same lines.
What does each tier include for an aviation and yacht broker?
| Item | Starter 2 700 CHF | Growth 4 500 CHF | Premium 8 200 CHF |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pages | Home, private jets, yachts, about, contact | On-demand flights, empty legs, yacht charter, business travel, safety | All of Growth plus destination pages (ski resorts, Mediterranean, business capitals) |
| Aircraft categories | One summary page | One sheet per category | Detailed sheets and static comparison |
| Form | Short | Qualified by route | Separate aviation and yacht journeys, discreet call-back |
| Empty legs | No | Page editable by hand | Editable page, filtered by region |
| Bilingual FR/EN | No | No | Included |
| Support | 3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
A real-time quoting engine, an automatic empty-leg feed or a client portal with flight history are custom applications, quoted on request. Ongoing search optimisation is quoted on request too.
Which rules must a brokerage site respect?
In aviation, only the operator holding an Air Operator Certificate (AOC), issued by its state's civil aviation authority, performs the flight. For Swiss operators the FOCA supervises; in the European Union the framework falls under EASA and national authorities. A broker must not present itself as the operator and should state who operates each flight. For yachts, commercial charter follows flag and local rules; the MYBA standard contract is widely used in the Mediterranean, and VAT on charters depends on location.
On data, Liechtenstein applies the GDPR through the European Economic Area; if you also serve clients in Switzerland, the revFADP (in force since 1 September 2023) may come into play. On accessibility, the European Accessibility Act has applied in the EU since 28 June 2025; check with your adviser how it affects you, and aim for WCAG 2.1 AA. This is not legal advice.

Which warning signs should you spot?
- A fictitious base: a site implying you operate out of Vaduz.
- Aircraft sheets copied from operators without permission.
- A pricing engine promised inside a showcase site for a few thousand francs.
- Sensitive data requested too early (passport, date of birth).
- Hosting in the agency's name, which complicates any change of supplier.
Questions to ask: who writes the German and the English, who can edit the empty-leg page, and what an extra destination page costs.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Andreas K. has just taken over a small aviation brokerage in Vaduz, two employees, clients mostly tied to the financial centre. The old site exists only in German and shows unlicensed aircraft photos. He compares:
- St. Gallen agency: 27 000 CHF, German and English, 12 weeks;
- Kolonell Growth: 4 500 CHF in English, German version quoted at 2 000 CHF, licensed visuals bought for 600 CHF.
Kolonell route: 4 500 + 2 000 + 600 = 7 100 CHF, against 27 000 CHF, a gap of 19 900 CHF. Andreas proofreads the German himself and updates the empty-leg page every month.
