| #1: A ONE BASE PHILOSOPHY |
 |
The British Virgin Islands and the Island of Tortola exists in one of the most beautiful, quite and well preserved natural environments rivaling just about anyplace in the world to visit. Over the course of the last few years this area has proved to be one of the most fertile grounds anywhere in the world relative to the generation of income for the charter industry. We came to the conclusion that it proved the best choice to work out of the best place, focus and do it better than anyone else! Having been on the island for many years we have found Nanny Cay, just down the road from Roadtown the perfect location to offer the type of quality service that we are accustomed to providing. We cannot tell you how proud we are of our hardworking and experienced staff led by Marianne Doux-Laplace, Base Manager, come enjoy our experience. As an owner of a yacht we think that you would be pleased to know that she is in the right place with the right people.

| #2: OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE |
|
One of the secrets to doing it right is being able to control the quality of service both in handling our owners and customers in the preparation of each charter as well as understanding and maintaining the yachts in our care and custody. Marianne and her staff have figured out that secret. Our engineers, mechanics, dock staff, cleaning personnel, assistants and office administrators each play a key role in the harmonious infrastructure at Catamaran Charters. Our tech center is dedicated to working with owners to maintain their yachts in yachtsman condition. Whether it is repair and replacement to upgrades in equipment, you are working with people who understand yachts and in particular catamarans and understand it is paramount to meet each owner's requirements professionally.

| #3: POTENTIAL TAX BENEFITS |
|
With our programs being percentage of income against expense some individuals do have the opportunity to wrap a charter yacht into either an existing business environment or create a new business opportunity. This subject is always one which is strictly up to a potential owner but is something to consider with your current accounting people. We are providing a few choices of Accountants to contact if you do not already have someone to review the potential. It has been brought to our attention that IRS has released for 2004/2005 certain incentives relative to equipment depreciation that may prove worthwhile depending on your current business activities. For a Fort Lauderdale based Accountant you might contact Richard Jarchow at 954-524-3000. You might also find Michael Kimble in Texas a further CPA well schooled on the subject, 903-561-9555. Please reference The Catamaran Company in your initial inquiry.
