Benefits of chartering out your own yacht
As a next generation luxury charter company, we can tell you all about the benefits of chartering out your own yacht. Putting up your yacht for charter is an excellent way to offset the costs of owning a yacht. It can also provide you with significant tax advantages. On top of that, yacht charters ensure that your yacht is kept in excellent condition, by regularly undergoing maintenance and being kept pristine before, during and after each charter. This extends the life of your yacht and the equipment onboard, while also solidifying the resale potential of your yacht. A luxury yacht in gentle regular use tends to fare better than yachts that are consistently kept docked. Give your yacht regular exercise by getting her out on the water. Keeping fuel lingering in tanks is unhealthy for yachts, neither does the yacht get enough air circulation when she is consistently sealed up in storage. Regular charter prevents the unpleasant gathering of mold or part malfunction. It is pleasing to know that your yacht will always be in top condition whenever you desire to use her.
The visibility of your yacht through charter will improve her appeal to prospective buyers in the future. This is very important in the event of a resale. Many yacht purchases are from buyers who had the opportunity to use the chartered yacht in the past and enjoyed the experience. On top of this all, regular practice will improve the performance of your crew. Chartering provides a great opportunity for your crew to improve their skills and you can expect an even higher standard of service from a more experienced team when you and your loved ones are on board.
