Charter Guests, Owners and Admirals Club Members Enjoy a Variety of Yachting Opportunities Charters: Now in our second decade, born from our chartering roots! With yachts ranging from 40' to 205' and charter opportunities on some yachts, requiring as little as a four-hour minimum, we’re truly a unique five-star yacht charter provider. Conceptualized while chartering in the crystal blue waters of the British Virgin Islands, on the island of Jost Van Dyke, company founder, Captain Bill Charbonneau, was inspired to find a way to share his passion for the boating life. The plan, drafted on the back of a napkin, with the help of a ”Painkillerˮ or two from Foxy’s, included the formation of a luxury boutique yacht charter company. Built from an expectation to deliver excellence, we’re known for our attention-to-detail and making sure that we do everything possible to ensure our guests’ wishes and dreams come true—a dedication to providing a memorable day and an experience larger than any boat. Guests have the option of half-day, full-day or multi-day charters on the yacht of their choice while being served their choice of fare. Food, beverages, photography, transportation, floral and entertainment can all be arranged and directed as part of a charter package. Fractional Ownership: The concept of fractional ownership is based on bringing like-minded individuals together to purchase large capital outlay assets, often with very high maintenance expenses, time-consuming management responsibilities and high depreciation rates. When proper systems are in place, and expectations are set from the beginning, fractional ownership arrangements work out nicely.
Typical yacht owners only use around 16 days per year, and with the purchase of a single share, you gain access to a fleet of yachts and 60 days on the water! You also remove all the headaches of ownership— hiring a captain and crew, paying port fees (except while traveling), handling taxes, keeping the yacht clean and more, not to mention footing the bill for high insurance premiums. One of the biggest perks of fractional ownership is the ability to get much more asset for the money; you can live the luxury yachting lifestyle with ease. Additionally, when splitting costs by a third or quarter with other owners, you’re offsetting ownership costs and further benefiting from the revenue generated from charters while the boat is not in use by owners. Ownership in the company which owns your yacht may also provide certain benefits such as depreciation. (Please consult with your licensed financial advisor.) With today’s technology, we take advantage of the Internet to logically handle all aspects of asset management including flexible scheduling; this is luxury yachting that makes sense! Admirals Club: For clients who want to charter multiple times in a year, we have created the Admirals Club program, which provides discounted rates by enrolling annually. In addition, Admirals Club members are granted access to special events—on-board wine tastings, our annual Christmas party, the Naples Boat Parade and member cocktail hours—along with access
to yachts for entertaining family, friends and clients. The beauty is that you’re not required to make any long-term commitment to enjoy these privileges. Catering: We work with award-winning caterers to guarantee the quality and presentation of the food match the elegant ambiance of the yacht you have chartered. When you and your guests arrive, your food is beautifully displayed and ready to enjoy. Ground Transportation: For the finest in town car, sprinter van or limousine services, please call or email us with all your ground transportation needs.

International Yacht Acquisition and Conversion (IYAC) As a result of global economic conditions and the current strength of the U.S. Dollar, it often makes sense to purchase larger European-manufactured yachts overseas and transport them to the United States. Although cost/value comparisons make this appear to be an easy decision (2006 Sunseeker located in the U.S. with asking price of $1.5 million vs. 2006 Sunseeker located in the United Kingdom with asking price of $770,000), the reality is global acquisition and conversion is a specialized and expensive procedure. Purchasing a foreign vessel with the intent to import, whether for personal use or for charter, involves a team of brokers and maritime attorneys in addition to knowledge in offshore closings, documentation, transport, Coast Guard requirements and conversion of electrical, as well as audio and video systems to U.S. standards (i.e. 220 to 110 power per 50Hz to 60Hz on electrical systems). International Yacht Acquisition and Conversion have compiled a team of top-notch professionals to guide the buyer from purchase to delivery and through the conversion’s completion. We have a stellar track record of converting and delivering European-purchased yachts in under 60 days to U.S. waters. Please call, email or view our website to learn more about international yacht acquisitions.
