The current trend in catamaran ownership is to go bigger! We have in recent years consulted with several clients to buy large flagship catamarans like Lagoon 77, Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67, and Bali 5.4, into crewed charter programs all over the world.
These luxury catamarans are not only a great vacation and adventure travel holiday for you and your family but also serves as your own private all-inclusive tropical resort, anywhere in the world.
But these catamarans are expensive to buy and expensive to maintain. All of our large catamaran buyers look for a way to offset the cost of ownership. There are several ways to achieve your goal of owning a luxury charter yacht in an exotic location:
- Buy a big sailing catamaran outright and sail it yourself
- Hire a crew to sail you around to simply enjoy the lifestyle without ever chartering the boat
- Or what most savvy large yacht owners do, find a way for the crewed yacht to pay its own way through charter income to offset costs.
*This information is general in nature and purchasers are encouraged to seek experienced legal counsel in yacht acquisition planning and implementation. Catamaran Guru is not a licensed tax attorney or CPA and is not qualified to give legal advice, but we can put you in touch with experts who are.
