Smart Charter Yacht Ownership

Charter yacht ownership is the most cost effective, logical way for you to fully own your own boat and go sailing on a regular basis.

Here's how it works...

Investing in a charter yacht in an established charter boat fleet combines a great lifestyle investment with a significant income.

In fact it's how many people reach their dream of owning their own boat.

Successful yacht charter investment involves a working partnership between 4 parties

• The boat owner (or investor) - that's you!
• The charter company - that's us. We also act as your agent and help you through the process.
• The manufacturer of your boat
• And your finance company

SmartBoating runs an established charter fleet offering a selection of monohulls from 32' to 42' and two catamarans.

Charters are either bareboat or skippered and vary in length from single day escapes to week-long holidays afloat.

Our charterers come from varied walks of life and all share the desire to experience the aspirational lifestyle time on the water provides.
