John Rosatti – Owning Versus Chartering
A lot of people take notice of yachts sailing in the local harbor. Some stop what they are doing to watch and imagine that the family on one of those yachts is theirs, and they are out enjoying the water. Many people think that owning a yacht would be impossible for their family, but the truth is that it is possible. Buying a yacht can be a very satisfying experience for you and your family for many years to come.
Unfortunately, the responsibilities of owning a yacht do not stop at buying one. You have to pay for storage, upkeep, supplies, fuel and more. Again, it is very similar to buying a car or house. If you can afford all of the costs that come with purchasing a luxury yacht and you can see you and your family making use of one for years to come, then it makes sense to buy one. However, luxury yachts usually cost a few hundred thousand dollars, and can even run into the millions. There are other aspects of yacht ownership that can be handled by a yacht management company.
Chartering a yacht can be your solution, especially if you only want to use one once in a while. Charters are a lot cheaper than buying, and it costs substantially less to charter, depending on the type of boat, destination and the season. Chartering a yacht for luxury travel is a lot like going on a cruise, except that you have to pay a few extra dollars for some of the amenities that come included with a cruise. One area where charters and cruises are different though, is that chartering gives you more privacy. If you want to vacation with another family or two, or if your company wants to send a group on a team building trip, a luxury yacht charter can be a perfect fit.
You can choose when and where you go, from somewhere local or the tropics. Looking for chartered yachts in boating magazines is a helpful resource. Most charter companies require a passenger and trip length minimum, but generally if you have more than four or five people interested and you want to go away for more than three days, you can charter a yacht without a problem.
