Here are many benefits to having your own personal yacht – you can head out to sea for sport fishing with your friends, take the family on a weekend trip, or entertain your business associates; all without worrying about cleaning or maintenance hassles. However, this is only possible with a yacht share/co-op yacht ownership.
Yacht share is a scenario where you partly own a yacht, and share usage with other co-owners. One great advantage of this is that you get total full yacht enjoyment without worrying about maintenance, as the management company takes care of everything. No worries about whether the boat will be in good condition when you need to use it or worrying about payment of crew members – you just walk in and walk off. It’s as simple as that.
Now, some people might argue that owning your own boat outright is good. There is no disputing that, but are you ready for the ‘headaches’ that come with sole ownership? There are some disadvantages associated with being a sole owner; from the purchase price, upkeep and maintenance costs to keeping the vessel sea worthy at all times. This is why a co-op yacht ownership is more preferable. It will definitely help you in keeping yacht expenses down.
Management companies like Nacaeli offers you the chance to own a part of a yacht, enjoy all the benefits of a sole yacht ownership, and yet leave all the care and maintenance to them. They handle everything from helping you with the purchase to general upkeep of your vessel.
Andrea Zecevic, President of Nacaeli stated “Luxury yacht owners spend approximately 33 days or more on the water annually. This leaves about 11 months where you’re not using the yacht. Wouldn’t it be great to share the maintenance cost with your co-owners, and yet still retain the ability to sell your stake in the vessel at any time?”
More so, know that your vessel upkeep is not just about simple things like wash downs. A good management company will ensure to fix things up as soon as the problem occurs, and carry out refits when necessary. Seeping water can go unnoticed sometimes, but it will surely leave a sign. If it’s not addressed immediately the signs are noticed, it will lead to greater damages down the line. But this is not your problem – it’s entirely up to the management to keep the vessel in good condition at all times.
You now see why yacht share is a great option? Zero worries – your vessel is always ready, and waiting for you on your scheduled days. The yacht will be clean and tidy, with fuel tanks filled ,the barnacles off the bottom of the yacht cleaned. You simply bring along your personal belongings, take charge of your crew, and sail off to your planned or preplanned destination. On your return, you just walk off and leave the cleaning to the management team.
Talk of true full yacht enjoyment with no cleaning nor maintenance hassles. That’s exactly what you get with a co-op yacht ownership from Nacaeli.
