Pricing
Searching, browsing, basic listings and the first lesson of every School course cost nothing. School courses, creations, Professional seats, vessel management and enhanced listings are paid, and a charter or sale that starts on xplor carries an introduction fee when it completes. Every figure is below — and none of them buys a better position in search.

xplor School
For crew studying for certification.
The first lesson of every course is free; a pass or a course purchase unlocks the full course; safety, medical and a few cross-department courses are free in full. A single course is a one-off purchase, with access for as long as the course is offered, including updates. The passes are yearly: Deck, Engineering & ETO and Interior each cover their own courses, and School All-Access covers all three. Oral exam prep is sold separately.

€8 / month
Professional
For brokers and central agents.
Listing and using xplor are free, and search visibility is the same for everyone. xplor earns from professionals in two ways: an introduction fee when a charter or sale it introduced completes, and the optional Professional seat.
Introduction fee
Charged only when a client xplor introduced completes a charter or sale — nothing on enquiries, nothing on deals that don’t close. The professional who received the introduction pays it on completion, on a separate xplor invoice. It is never taken from the client’s payment.
| Charter | 2.5% of the charter fee |
|---|---|
| Sale | 0.5% of the sale price |
Professional seat
Waives the charter introduction fee for that person (the 0.5% sale fee still applies) and adds the workflow layer — enquiry management, saved searches and an API feed. For a central agent receiving regular introductions, it will usually cost less than the fees it waives. A seat is one person, not a device or a login.
€99 / seat / month
You’d be paying for what xplor does for you, not for where you appear. A seat buys tools, not position. Search ranking is relevance-only, and it is the same with or without a seat.
Vessel management
For owners, fleets and managers.
Payroll, taxes, SOPs, DPA, insurance, accounts, receipts, safety & medical, crew lists, compliance and Mission Control as a per-vessel subscription. The back office of running a yacht, in one place.
€5 / metre / month — a 42 m yacht is €210 a month
Not self-serve yet — tell us the vessel and we’ll set it up with you directly.
Talk to usListings
For yacht owners, brokers and marine services.
Basic listing
Yachts and marine services can be listed with a free account, with the same search visibility as any other listing.
Free
Enhanced service listing
Richer content and presentation for a marine service’s page. It does not change where you rank. Listings must be claimed and verified by their owner first, so we set these up with you rather than self-serve.
€99 / year
Talk to usWhat xplor doesn’t sell
How the paid products stay separate from search and from your clients.
- No paid search placement
- Ranking is relevance-only. No paid product — seats, enhanced listings or anything else — changes where anyone appears.
- Nothing taken from the transaction
- xplor never holds client funds and never deducts from a charter or sale payment. The introduction fee is invoiced separately, on completion, and only when xplor made the introduction.
- No selling of enquiries
- We never sell or auction an enquiry. It goes straight to the central agent or provider, and nobody pays to receive it.
- No charges to clients
- Searching, enquiring and being introduced to a broker cost a charter or sale client nothing.
How xplor makes money
From five paid products — xplor School courses, creations, Professional seats, vessel management and enhanced service listings — and from the introduction fee when a charter or sale that started on xplor completes: 2.5% on charters (waived for Professional seat holders) and 0.5% on sales. xplor is not a broker, holds no brokerage licence and is never party to the transaction. It makes the introduction and steps back.
That is the whole model. No access fees. No fees for search position. No selling of enquiries.
