There are two ways to sell charters with charter.boats. As a yacht charter agent you book boats for your own clients and earn a share of our commission on those bookings; agent accounts are opened by invitation. As an affiliate you share a link, and you earn a share of our commission on charters booked by the visitors it sends; anyone with an account can join.
This page lists each screen and the help article for it.
