Charl and his team come out to The Bahamas to do a Charter promo video and photoshoot for our charter yacht, Sweet Emocean. Due to our busy schedule, this was arranged relatively last minute. Charl and his team were there at short notice, on time with COVID procedures completed and we were straight into the photo and video shoot. All was completed quickly, efficiently, and with a professional approach. It was a pleasure working with Charl and the end products were exceptional. We looked into some other options before opting to go with Yachting Image and we are very happy we made the right decision. Great experience from start to finish and excellent end products. Highly recommend. read more

I've asked Charl to shoot a few of our yachts over the last year and am yet to be disappointed. Our latest shoot was covering three yachts in Sydney Harbour and he captured each moment perfectly. I have worked with photographers in the past that have taken twice as long to get the shot - and have cost me four times more! Charl takes the time to really understand the brief and then works hard to answer it. And boy, does he deliver! Creative, intelligent, an equally great eye for composition and the details. No hesitation in recommending him - take a look at fairline.com to see what he's done for my products. read more

Charl recently completed a photo and video shoot for our 80' yacht in Biscayne Bay. Charl and his videographer did an amazing job throughout. They communicated with us well in advance as what to expect during the 2-day shoot, and they completed the work on time exactly as they had described. They staged all scenes nicely, and they paid particular attention to the smallest of details. They delivered the final photos to us in a couple days, and the final video a couple days after that. We are very pleased with the final results, and we would happily ask Charl to work with us again in the future. read more

It was an absolute pleasure working with Charl Jordaan at Yachting Image. His professionalism, timely responses to any request, and communication demeanor are at the highest levels, and very much appreciated. His photography was pristine and unparalleled, I enjoyed dealing with a high caliper individual who loves his craft, he made everything go smooth and look easy, that's what a real professional does. I would definitely recommend Yachting Image as the principal photographer for any high-end vessel, and I look forward to working with Charl again. Andy H. read more

When you hire a photographer you worry about if they will show up on time, it the weather will work with you, if the models will be easy to work with, etc... Charl's company is beyond professional and went above and beyond to make the experience without worry. They provided a fair quote and coordinated with models. They all showed up on time. We got some rain and they all helped clean up for the best possible scenes. The photos were excellent. The photographer and models were helpful and super easy to work. I was very impressed. Highly recommended. read more

Ronnie here: I had an awesome experience with Charl twice in 2 years. Same fantastic service the second time as the first, very consistent and he returns phone calls timely. Hard to find people in the yacht industry that do what they say they'll do, but Charl does. So refreshing to work with someone who takes care of business. We had a great day of shooting and he got the photos out to me in just a couple of days to review. I can count on one hand people the number of vendors I can count on with my yacht, and he is one of them. read more

What a pleasure to deal with. Reviewing the work on the 165ft Yacht Incognito which was photographed by Charl for our updated Bahamas charter brochure. It was a very intense few days creating some awesome action shots and really highlighting the best aspects of the Incognito, both inside and out. Out of all the photoshoots I've done Charl was easily the most professional and capable with an incredible eye. He is a master on the drone and the shots taken with it take your breath away. Thanks Charl for the great work. read more

Charl and his team were very professional, efficient and extremely proactive. We had the team on board in the Bahamas where they were very well prepared for anything. From drone shots to underwater shots we got high quality photos from all different angles. We could not be happier with the work produced by the team. We also got Charl to set up our web page. We can not recommend anyone other than Charl and his team from Yachting Image. read more
