Yacht chartering—once you have experienced it you know that there is no other vacation that compares to it. Island hopping your way wherever the wind might take you, swaying to the sounds of the palm trees blowing as you sip a dark n’ stormy, discovering untouched anchorages, paddle boarding to a remote cave for a quick snorkel, the list goes on. Have you ever asked yourself, “Should I consider owning a charter yacht?” or “What are the benefits of a Yacht Ownership Program?” If those questions have crossed your mind, then continue reading to discover what signs indicate that a Yacht Ownership Program might be for you.
1. You are considering a live aboard lifestyle.
Are you intrigued by the cruising lifestyle? If you have ever considered becoming a fulltime cruiser, but are not ready to take that leap—Sunsail Yacht Ownership is the perfect solution. With plenty sailing time each year you can spend weeks at a time on the water. Get a glimpse into the lifestyle while getting paid, and decide if it is for you. If cruising is for you, at the end of your time as a Sunsail Yacht Owner you will be a seasoned sailor and your boat will be yours for keeps. Or, perhaps you may love the part-time cruising lifestyle so much that you trade your yacht in for a new Sunsail Yacht and start the program over again.
2. You charter multiple times a year
Are you an avid charterer who frequents trips with friends? Do you and your family dream of sailing the Mediterranean every summer and the Grenadines every winter? If you spend more than two weeks out of the year chartering a boat, then our Yacht Ownership Program might be for you. Invest in something to call your own all while receiving a guaranteed monthly payment that, annually, amounts to 9% (or 8%, depending on the location of your yacht) of the cost that you pay for the yacht. Additionally, during your time in the program, you will receive ample weeks of sailing each year and pay no operating costs.
