Why Charter your yacht?
Adding your yacht to the charter has its benefits:
1. Placing your boat for charter could reduce your operating expenses by 30% – 70%.
2. A prospective buyer is always around the corner! We encounter multiple situations where a prospective buyer wants to “test” the yacht before making a purchase. This is a great way to accomplish the sale of your boat (if desired), and you get your boat seen in the industry.
3. Your crew will thank you. Chartering enables a crew to perfect their skills while also earning extra income via charter tips.
Happy crew = Better performing crew
4. Talk to your accountant about tax advantages. There might be significant tax benefits.
