Day 7 sailing to New Zealand

We sailed from Tonga to New Zealand. Thankfully we had a few days of calm conditions so I was able to get the sewing machine out and make the courtesy flag we need to fly when we reach land. Let’s hope this good weather continues!

Offset yacht costs with bona fide tax advantages and charter income! Most of our catamaran owners of larger vessels over 50 ft place these boats into one of several crewed charter programs. The basic idea is that the boat is operated as a business, which enables the owner to reduce the cost of ownership through the use of available tax advantages and income from charters. All our owners in these crewed yacht charter programs have successfully created small businesses and achieved their ultimate goals. It is the most cost-effective way to own a big luxury catamaran! 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.
