►What is the advantage for me in chartering out my yacht?

One of the most significant benefits is financial. Your boat will generate income from the charters that will serve you to cover running and operational expenses of the yacht. In prospect, a record of successful charters and regular cruises each season should bring more clients. Therefore, this can and will turn into a profitable business.

►Will I be able to use my yacht for my own purpose?

Absolutely yes! If you charter out your vessel, it doesn’t mean you won’t be able to cruise it. As an owner, you decide how many days, weeks, months your boat is available for charters. And we act accordingly by sharing a booking calendar with our clients and yacht charter brokers so they know when the yacht can be rented. The important aspect is that you continue enjoying the ownership of the yacht and at the same time you receive income when not using it.

Any yacht is built and put on water to be used. That’s the fact. This means that regular charters will be an advantage to the boat. A constant operation of the vessel will keep its systems running. You can be sure that the yacht will stay clean and will undergo the regular maintenance checks. Keeping your yacht in use and in a perfect condition will do you good if one day you decide to sell it as the yacht will retain its value.
