Charter Ownership Opportunities in the BVI

Catamaran Charters BVI is the world’s oldest privately-owned charter company specializing exclusively in catamarans since 1989. While we cannot claim to know it all, the current base management are the same managers who opened our base in 1993, so they probably do know most of it! They supervise a boutique fleet of around 30 luxury catamarans which are may also available for bareboat, captained, or crewed charter. Despite having to weather numerous hurricanes over the years, including a Category 5, and the pandemic, they have remained financially stable and have never missed a payment to an Owner.

Catamaran Charters offers a complete menu of management services ranging from overseeing charter marketing and reservations for full or part-time charter boats, captain & crew, dockage, parts & maintenance, insurance & turnarounds for all the managed yachts. Catamaran Charters is not comparable to a mass market charter company as all their boats are unique and differ from the rest of the boats in the fleet, all ordered by their current owners to that owner’s specific requests and designs. Some are private owners’ layouts while many are 4-cabin charter layouts. Our fleet represents private yachts available for charter, not typical 'charter boats' operated by the major fleets with literally hundreds of identical vessels. 

Our Yacht Ownership Program allows an Owner to offer their catamaran for charter for as many or as few weeks as they prefer so it is the owner who determines the actual weeks that their vessel is available to generate revenue. More importantly, the Owner gets to use their boat as much or as little as they wish, any week, any time of year. The Owner makes the decisions, not the charter company. When an Owner is not using their boat, the program allows them to generate charter revenue to help offset the costs of ownership so rather than facing monthly dockage, insurance, electric, water and maintenance bills, the revenue made from charter will contribute towards these costs. There may also be additional opportunities to defray an Owner’s out-of-pocket costs by structuring the ownership through an effective tax strategy for the yacht purchase as well as potential bonus depreciation.

Catamaran Charters goal is to provide an Owner you with a hassle-free ownership experience so allow us to handle the oversight of all aspects of your yacht ownership so you can concentrate on doing what you intended to do when you bought your boat………and go sailing!
