Yacht Sailing – Marine Charter WordPress theme Overview
Yacht Sailing is a WordPress theme aimed at the marine sector: charter operators, sailing schools, yacht brokerages and the companies that sell or manage boats. The vendor says its elements were shaped after studying how the industry presents itself.
venbradshaw publishes it. Six homepage designs and three contact page designs are included, with a full-screen presentation on a 1170-pixel Bootstrap grid, parallax scrolling and colour schemes set from the admin panel.
Pages are assembled in Visual Composer by dragging elements into place, and Revolution Slider carries the large header imagery. Blog, shop and destination templates come ready to use, and WooCommerce covers anything you sell, whether that is course fees, merchandise or gift vouchers.

Who Yacht Sailing – Marine Charter WordPress theme Is Suitable For
Canadian charter firms fit this well: a fleet working the Gulf Islands or Desolation Sound, a Great Lakes charter company, a sailing school on the Atlantic coast, or a brokerage listing boats for sale.
Marinas, yacht clubs and boat management firms can use the destination and blog templates to publish cruising areas, season dates and news. With no reservation engine described, an operator needing live availability and online deposits will add a booking plugin or confirm enquiries by hand.
Important Notes About Yacht Sailing – Marine Charter WordPress theme
Nothing in the feature list provides a booking system: this is a presentation theme with an enquiry form and a WooCommerce shop, so availability is something you add. Visual Composer drives the layouts. The published change log runs only to 12 February 2018, while an undated line at the top of the listing says new layouts were added and PHP 8 is supported, so ask the author for the current version and tested WordPress release.
Charter work is regulated and the distinctions matter. Carrying passengers for hire is a different business from handing a boat to a qualified skipper: a commercial passenger vessel brings Transport Canada requirements covering the vessel, its certification, its crew and how many people may be aboard, while a bareboat charter rests on the renter’s competency, which you verify and record before handover. Say clearly which one you sell. Publish the insurance position, the security deposit, the passenger limit, the experience you require, and the weather or safety cancellation terms, because lost days on the water are ordinary. Take signed waivers, describe risk honestly and guarantee nothing about safety. All of this rests with the operator, and AppiAppi does not give legal advice.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
You buy the licence yourself on ThemeForest, where venbradshaw handles theme support. AppiAppi installs it, imports the demo, and rebuilds the pages around your fleet, your cruising grounds and your branding.
Each vessel gets a page with specifications, berths, photographs, season rates and the departure marina shown on a map. We set the enquiry form so requests arrive with dates and party size already captured, publish your deposit and cancellation terms where a customer reads them before committing, and configure WooCommerce if you sell courses or merchandise. Your plan covers seasonal rate updates, new listings, tested updates, monitoring, replies to enquiries, and AI-assisted SEO and content support.
