Fractional Yacht Ownership

The average yacht owner use their yachts less than one month per year while they own the yacht. They still have the expense and inconvenience of owning the boat for 12 months of the year - while only using it for 1/12th of the time.

Fractional yacht ownership lets you own a portion of a yacht and use it for a certain period of time. You don't have to worry about maintenance, insurance, moorage, haul-out, crew etc. It's all managed for you.

The concept of fractional yacht ownership allow you to own a luxury cruising yacht at a fraction of the overall cost to own a luxury yacht.

"The cost of the yacht and the expenses of maintaining the yacht are shared by the co-owners. The whole program is organized and professionally managed by Amanzi Yachts for a modest management fee. In this way each owner pays only a twelfth of the cost of purchasing the vessel and maintaining it in pristine condition, whilst being able to enjoy more than average use time of his yacht."

All expenses required to maintain and keep the yacht is often estimated by the company and split between the owners. If the yacht is maintained properly it often resells for premium value - which might even be higher than the original purchase price. Thus returning value to the owners. In some countries a loss from the sale of a fractional yacht ownership might qualify as a tax deduction.
