Owner Benefits

• Unlimited Owner Usage in Paradise on your own catamaran.
One of the biggest attractions on our program is you as an Owner may book your catamaran at any time for a sailing vacation. All we need is 7 days - notice and we will prepare your catamaran for you. As an Owner you may sail as many times as you like anywhere you desire. The British Virgin Islands and surrounding areas provide the ultimate sailing grounds for catamaran ownership.

• Book your own catamaran and earn a referral fee or higher commissions.
We do encourage Owners to advertise and market their yacht. Many of our owners take special pride in their ownership of their catamaran and even build personal websites and do unique marketing for their catamaran. If you succeed in generating referrals you earn up to 2.5% referral fee or more depending on how much responsibility you want us to take during the booking process.

• Flexibility in outfitting your catamaran with your choice of options & taste.
You may choose any interior wood finish, fabric color for cushions based on your own personal style. Allow as many or less toys onboard and even choose the amount of equipment onboard such as microwaves, water makers, dishwashers or more. We do advise you what options to choose when purchasing your catamaran for charter.

• Choose any layout of your choice - Owner's version or charter versions.
The Catamaran Company charter fleet consists of two types of products for charter: charter or owner layout. Upon the purchase of your catamaran, our Charter Staff will provide you with projections based on your model of choice.

• Authorize and approve anything above standard maintenance.
This is a frequently asked question and a concern for new catamaran owners. Standard Maintenance consists of underwater hull inspections after each charter oil/filter change on engines and generator, AC, refrigeration and watermaker maintenance, equipment and rigging maintenance, turnarounds.. Anything out of the ordinary is discussed with you. With a direct line to all manufacturers, we can provide parts, expert advice and privileged connections.

• Easy termination process of only 90 days written notice
If for any reason you need to withdraw from our charter program we offer an easy termination process. All that is needed is an email informing us that you want to stop chartering. We will then block the calendar 90 days from your email to ensure no more charters are booked.

• Great potential Tax benefits.
With our programs 'being percentage of income against expense' some individuals 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 can provide a few choice referrals to help you with this and also some owner referrals to provide you with genuine advice to help you along setting up your tax benefits.

• Earn the highest return on investment in the industry.
The Catamaran Company offers the highest rate percentage return of charter revenues than any other company in the industry. Our "77/23" program for bareboat charter owners has remained unmatched.

• Personal base with excellent 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 catamarans in our care and custody. Our staff in Tortola has 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 catamarans 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.

• Exceptional base facilities and location in the world's best charter location
We are located at Hodges Creek Marina - a beautiful anchorage with crystal clear water, hotel & pool facilities, storage, offices and more. Hodge's Creek is located on the eastern end of Tortola, just minutes from the Beef Island airport.

• Enjoy a high resale value upon selling due to excellent maintenance.
A common question is what is the wear and tear on a popular charter catamaran after 3 years in charter service? The answer is actually quite simple. We estimate that your annual parts & maintenance is up to 3% of the hull value of the catamaran. But keep in mind that we are not considering your warranty that you have available for the first few years. Warranty can cover many of your items and the 3% could actually drop to a lower figure. Due to the warranty and excellent maintenance many a time, the resale value holds.
