Thinking about buying a catamaran for charter to capture bonus depreciation and offset ordinary income? Don't wait until Thanksgiving — that's when everyone scrambles, and it leaves no room to find the right boat or pivot if something's wrong with it. In this week's Tuesday Tip, Wiley breaks down why now is the time to start the purchase process if you want to take ownership before the BVI and USVI charter boat shows in mid-November — so you close the deal on your terms, not under pressure.

Step aboard Bohemia: an 80 Sunreef Power created for luxurious escapes at sea. Available for luxury charter, this spectacular power catamaran welcomes up to 10 guests across five cabins, combining expansive living spaces, generous alfresco areas and exceptional comfort with the freedom of long-range cruising.

Owning a catamaran privately can run close to $195,000 a year before you ever leave the dock. Put the same boat into a well run charter program and that number goes to roughly zero. This full session breaks down exactly how, with a specific focus on California and Mexico. Estelle and Stephen Cockcroft have owned ten boats, sailed over 70,000 miles, and run charter operations in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Here they walk through private ownership versus charter management, the three program structures on the market, and how to build an ownership business that holds up under scrutiny. Glenn Gopman, CPA, joins the panel to take the tax questions live. Catamaran Guru has partnered with Kurt Jerman and Guinevere King of West Coast Multihulls, who operate charter bases in San Diego, Marina del Rey and Loreto in the Sea of Cortez. Their US bases matter more than most buyers realize: a boat based in the United States has no predominant use limitation, which makes Section 179 and 100% bonus depreciation far simpler to apply. What the panel covers: Guaranteed income, revenue share, and crewed charter, and why Stephen recommends only two of them The LLC structure, multiple income streams, and documenting active participation The 100 hour and 500 hour rules, and why we default to the conservative side First year bonus depreciation at 100%, loss limitation, and carrying forward Recapture, hobby loss rules, foreign LLCs, and why 1031 exchanges no longer apply to boats Planning your exit before you buy West Coast Multihulls' owner first program: a straight 50/50 split after expenses, no turnaround or booking fees, and reciprocal use across three bases The Sea of Cortez charter season, Mexican permitting costs and timelines, and why Puerto Escondido sits outside the hurricane zone 0:00 Welcome and Panel Introductions 1:05 Ten Boats and 70,000 Miles: Estelle and Stephen's Story 2:58 Private Ownership vs Charter Management 4:14 Guaranteed, Revenue Share, and Crewed Programs 9:53 Why Depreciation Matters for High Income Owners 11:41 The Steps: Buy the Boat, Build the Structure 14:25 Choosing a Boutique Management Partner 17:45 Active Participation and the Hour Rules 21:12 100% Bonus Depreciation Explained 24:43 The Numbers: Private vs Charter, Side by Side 32:43 Plan Your Exit Before You Buy 37:08 West Coast Multihulls: Three Bases 43:11 Inside the Owner First 50/50 Program 47:06 Sea of Cortez Season and Mexican Permitting 51:46 Open Q&A: Insurance, Hobby Loss, LLCs 56:25 Contacts and Next Steps If you have been thinking about buying a catamaran and want it to earn its keep, this is the place to start.

@boatfools #sailboatcharter #bareboatcharter #morgan382 #morgan384 #sailingmaine Did Our Charter Gambit Work? | Mid Season Update Was putting our own sailboats into charter a brilliant idea—or a terrible mistake? We're halfway through our first charter season, and it's time for an honest update. CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro 00:36 Did Our Sailboat Charter Gambit Work? 09:08 Outro This year, BoatFools Sailing took a gamble: instead of simply owning and sailing our boats, we decided to put two classic Morgan sailboats into a limited charter program here in Maine. The boats are Va Bene, our 1980 Morgan 382, and Panache, our Morgan 384. They're closely related Ted Brewer-designed cruising boats, but getting two older sailboats ready for charter—and then handing the keys over to other sailors—has been an education. So… did our charter gambit work? At the halfway point, the answer is: the jury is still out. In this mid-season update, we talk about what's gone right, what's gone wrong, some of the surprises we've encountered, and what we're learning about the realities of putting privately owned sailboats into charter. There have been some great experiences. There have also been a few moments that made us question exactly what we'd gotten ourselves into. We're not naming names or throwing anyone under the bus. This isn't about individual charterers. It's about the bigger experiment: Can a limited charter program help offset the substantial cost of owning and maintaining a cruising sailboat without taking all the fun out of owning it? And perhaps the bigger question for other boat owners: Does chartering your sailboat actually make financial and practical sense? We're only halfway through the season, so we're not ready to declare this experiment a success—or a failure. But we've already learned plenty. Come aboard Va Bene and Panache as we take stock of our first season in the sailboat charter business and ask the question we've been wondering ourselves: Was this a mistake? If you're considering buying a sailboat, putting your own boat into charter, joining a bareboat charter program, or simply wondering what happens when you hand your boat over to someone else for a week, this one's for you. Subscribe to BoatFools Sailing for real-world sailboat tours, classic cruising boats, boat-buying advice, sailing adventures, and the occasional questionable idea. Real boats, real people, real fun!

► What better way to discover the Saronic Gulf from Athens than aboard a comfortable 46-foot powercat? Paul, Nancy and their son Isaac—soon joined by other family members—share the highlights of their dream cruise, expertly skippered by Ludovic. ► Over seven unforgettable days, our family explored the Saronic Gulf aboard a Moorings 464PC, discovering a perfect blend of spectacular scenery, ancient history and authentic Greek island life. From the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion to the charming harbors of Poros, Spetses and Hydra, each stop offered crystal-clear anchorages, welcoming tavernas and memorable encounters. Calm seas made for relaxed cruising, while swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking and sunset passages quickly became part of our daily routine. The powercat's comfort, generous living spaces and effortless handling allowed everyone—from young Isaac to the adults—to fully enjoy the experience. Combined with the professionalism of the Moorings team, this itinerary proved an ideal introduction to Greece by powercat. ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

Join us for an unforgettable exploration night dive in Raja Ampat aboard the iconic Calico Jack Liveaboard, alongside legendary cave diver Mikko Paasi and a brilliant crew of friends. As daylight disappears, Raja Ampat reveals a completely different world beneath the surface. We enter the darkness equipped for discovery navigating mangrove lined waters, searching for rare nocturnal marine life, and exploring an environment few divers ever experience after sunset. From hunting critters and curious reef inhabitants to the eerie atmosphere of the mangroves, this is adventure diving at its rawest. These mangroves are recognised crocodile habitat, adding a genuine edge to an already extraordinary night dive. With experienced guides, careful planning, and respect for the environment, we explore Raja Ampat’s wild side while keeping the reef and its wildlife firmly in control of the experience. Aboard Calico Jack, every expedition is about more than ticking off dive sites: it is about chasing stories, sharing unforgettable moments with friends, and discovering Indonesia’s most spectacular seascapes above and below the water. film by Cameron Vaughne and Sage Stephens

British Virgin Islands or Bahamas: which is better for a catamaran charter? Catamaran Gurus sat down with Blake from Location Sailing, and go head to head across more than 30 categories. The short version: the Bahamas wins for families, honeymoons, wildlife, snorkeling, seclusion, and a longer season, while the BVI wins for first-time charterers, couples, nightlife, and dining. The Bahamas is generally cheaper (the British Virgin Islands add a charter tax), but the BVI is the easier trip for beginners. QUESTIONS ANSWERED IN THIS VIDEO Is the BVI or the Bahamas better for a first charter? The BVI, without much debate. The islands sit close together with line-of-sight navigation and easy mooring, so first-timers spend less time sailing and more time enjoying the trip. Is the BVI or the Bahamas better for couples? The BVI, for the social scene, dining, and relaxed sailing, especially on a first Caribbean charter. Which is better for families? The Bahamas, 100 percent per the crews, for the wildlife, space, and calmer waters in the Abacos. Which is better for a honeymoon? The Bahamas, and Eleuthera in particular, are far more romantic. Which is better for experienced sailors? The Bahamas, for more robust, varied sailing. Which has better snorkeling and diving? Snorkeling goes to the Bahamas, especially the Exumas reefs. Diving leans BVI. Which is cheaper? The Bahamas is generally more affordable, because the BVI adds a charter tax. Which is easier to sail? The Bahamas, especially the Abacos. The Exumas are a bit more demanding. Which has the longer charter season? The Bahamas, running longer through summer, with a quick escape to the US if a hurricane threatens. Which is easier to reach from the US? The Bahamas overall, and its closeness to the US makes it the crews' pick for a quick turnaround or retirement. Which has the best food? The Bahamas wins for local food and seafood (conch every way, catch-your-own lobster). The BVI wins for fine dining and street food. Which feels more like a secret? Both lean Bahamas, which still has vast, secluded areas most charterers never reach. CHAPTERS 0:00 Best for groups, honeymoons & experienced sailors 0:26 Party scene & booking season 0:58 Underrated spots & easiest sailing 1:20 Snorkeling, calm water & adventure 1:50 Diving & drinking 2:10 Dramatic scenery 2:42 Best for families vs couples 3:03 Best for first-time charterers 3:35 Anchorages, operating & navigation 4:06 Easiest to reach & hurricane-season safety 4:47 The best-kept secret & what books out fastest 5:17 Best for retirement & solo sailing 5:35 Best local food & seafood 6:07 Cocktails, fine dining & street food 6:34 Local beer, trophy trips & repeat trips Planning a charter in the BVI or the Bahamas? https://catamaranguru.com/charter/?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=charter ABOUT CATAMARAN GURU For over 30 years, Catamaran Guru has helped guests charter and own catamarans in the BVI, the Bahamas, and beyond. #YachtCharter #BVICharter #BahamasCharter Catamaran Gurus is your safe harbor for yacht sales, yacht ownership, liveaboard lifestyle and sailing education, and charter management.
