Yachting in Phuket

Hello Pierre,
it's the first time I heard that a Yacht Charter company will finance your purchase and take over all costs involved in mantainance. Usually you buy a boat and sign a contract with one or more charter companies, which should guarantee a certain revenue on the yacht rental. Terms of contract depends case by case. They take a commission on the charter and they might be involved in sharing costs of the marina, but it depends case by case. I suggest you to contact a charter company directly and ask for straight questions. Are you maybe talking about sharing ownership solution? That is a more common practice. Maybe big charter companies might be interested in it. Good luck!

I heard some companies were offering fractional ownership on yachts. Im pretty sure some of the well know real estate companies might know. I have dealt with Tim at Phuket Real Estate and Im pretty sure he is clued up o this. If not maybe try down at the Yacht clubs for info.

Thanks for the reply.

Actually I am interesting in the deal proposed by Sunsail.
it sound much safer than smaller charter company.
They propose to buy one of their standard boat, and they propose a fair amount of usage per year and an interesting discounted retail price.
Pay only 2/3 of the boat, use it more time than I have in hand every year, and the boat in yours after 5 years.
I heard they are n Thailand for over 10 years already.
