To become a yacht Owner

Intended for those who are aiming for maximum return on investment and flexibility in their holiday planning. The charter income is shared in 65% – 35% ratio in favour of the investor. The investor purchases the yacht in his name or in the name of his company and is more actively involved in the yachts business operations. A 30% down payment is sufficient to purchase a yacht while the rest can be financed by leasing. The charter income should cover the leasing annuities and the costs of maintenance, insurance and berth while, depending on the down payment amount, the investor can expect additional profit. This model also offers greater discounts when purchasing a yacht.

With this charter management model, there is more flexibility in choosing the yacht and its equipment.

To become our Partner

Intended for those who do not want to own a company and actively participate in the yachts business operations, or to be more exact, those who only want to use the yacht for up to 3 weeks a year and do not want to have any cares/obligations regarding the yacht. The investor pays 60% of the yachts value (depending on the yacht model) and the charter company pays the rest. The investor becomes the sole owner of the yacht after 6 seasons of chartering. The charter income is not shared with the investor thus to cover the purchase, maintenance, berth and all other additional costs.

How to register the yacht to put it in Charter Management?

In the Ownership model you can buy the yacht in your name or in the name of your company and register it accordingly. Still, only a company has the right to claim VAT reimbursement which significantly affects the final price of the yacht as well as the prices for yacht maintenance, berth and so on. This is why we suggest opening a company in the EU if you do not have one. The yacht has to be registered in the EU, meaning that it has to have an EU country flag and that includes Croatia. The process of founding a company in Croatia is rather simple and it costs about 3.500 EUR (26.000 HRK) of which 2.500 EUR is basic capital that can be used afterwards. We offer full support in the process of founding and running a company. In the Partnership model, the yacht is purchased and registered in the name of our charter company under a Croatian flag while you mortgage the yacht to secure your investment. After 5 and a half years, the ownership is transferred to you and you can register the yacht in your name. When assuming ownership of the yacht you have to pay the 25% VAT on the yacht’s remaining value (market value or book value, as considered by the local tax authority, which is usually between 50% and 60% or the initial purchase price).
How is the Charter Income shared?

Charter income is shared in proportion 65%-35% in favour of the investor. Out of 65% of the charter income the investor finances: annual berth all-risk yacht insurance (Casco) including insurance against loss of charter income yacht maintenance Out of 35% of the charter income the charter company finances: agency commission for sub-agents marketing and promotion for the yacht charter booking coordination, reception and support for the charter guests In other words, we are paid for booking the yacht either directly or in cooperation with partner agencies and for taking care of charter guests. The remaining income goes to the yacht owner. Charter Management Partnership The charter income is not shared with the investor as the charter company takes care of all the running and maintenance costs. Out of the charter income the charter company finances: annual berth all-risk yacht insurance (Casco) including insurance against loss of charter income yacht maintenance agency commission for sub-agents marketing and promotion for the yacht charter booking coordination, reception and support for the charter guests
What about Yacht Maintenance?

Sometimes the build year of the yacht is not that important – regardless of the yachts age, a properly maintained yacht is the only way to a satisfied charter guest and at the same time the key to a successful business process. Consequently, our professionally educated staff constantly supervises the condition of the yacht and its equipment. With regular services we act in advance in order to prevent any bigger malfunctions and to provide a safe and high quality vacation for charter guests. With continuous supervision and maintenance we ensure the longevity of your yacht and equipment as well as a higher price in charter and a higher market value when you decide to sell the yacht. The owner of the yacht has a permanent insight in maintenance processes and their cost – the yachts that we hold in our bases are the best evidence of the quality of service that we provide. We guarantee high-quality aftersales support with prompt processing of claims throughout warranty and after the warranty has passed.
