Yacht Management

$mart Yacht Ownership

Before you purchase a new yacht call us for a consultation on what ownership options are available. We are experts in the areas of revenue generation and can propose several methods from simple to sophisticated that will enhance your ownership experience.

Under the various programs, there are typically two models of Managed Yacht Ownership:

Guaranteed Income Model

The owner receives a guaranteed payment per month from the charter company for the use of the boat. The owner is typically given a number of weeks per year when they may use their own boat. This is a more risk-averse model than the incoming-sharing model which will be described next. Programs from operators like Moorings or Navigare fall into this category.

Income Sharing Model

This model is between the owner and the charter company. The owner must pay all costs associated with the boat including maintenance, purchase price or down payment, depreciation, interest costs, insurance etc. The owner’s share of the income from chartering the boat goes to offset these costs. The charter company keeps its share of the income (usually 50%) for marketing and operational expenses.

HOW IT WORKS

We will create a complete turn-key solution for you incorporating a revenue plan, scheduling, bookkeeping, maintenance services, crewing and even provide operational training.

Ultimately the typical yacht responsibilities and tasks are taken out of your way, just leaving the fun and enjoyment of being on the boat with your family, friends and guests.

Some models are more popular and we can give you our recommendations if your wish is to maximize income. Alternatively, you may opt for ownership that allows access to a fleet of boats located in some of the best boating destinations in the world. These yachts are custom made and configured a certain way to keep consistency in the fleet.
