Guaranteed Income

Our Guaranteed Income Program

Charter yacht ownership has become a widely recognized concept among sailing and cruising enthusiasts, presenting itself in various forms. Here, we’re highlighting our bestseller: the Guaranteed Income program.

Under this arrangement, we’ll manage your yacht at one of our bases for 5 to 6 years, providing you with a monthly income equivalent to 8% of the purchase price—a figure guaranteed by contract and unaffected by your boat’s actual activity.

Throughout this period, you’ll enjoy up to 12 weeks of usage, sailing from our diverse bases on similar yachts. Once the program concludes, you have the option to retain ownership of your boat, sell it through our Brokerage service, or opt for a trade-in to initiate a new program.

to Start the program

You join by purchasing a sailing or power yacht from our available inventory (lease or credit available with 20% to 50% down payment). Our prices include the yacht’s equipment including the best upgrades to ensure the most comfortable, spacious, and modern yachts. The boat is then operated by The Moorings at one of our bases for a duration of 5 to 6 years.

during the program

Owner care team

At the end of the program

Choose between 3 solutions at the end of the program:

Keep

You may decide to keep your yacht and go cruising around the globe, or bring her home to enjoy at your leisure.

Sell

Our brokerage department, with offices all around the world, can list your yacht for sale during the last year of the program and line up a buyer for the end of your program (standard 10% brokerage commission).

Trade

Many of our owners are 3rd, 4th and 5th time yacht owners with us! We have a brokerage support team that will take your 5-year-old yacht on a trade in, and from there you can purchase a new Moorings Yacht and start the program over again.

Whatever you decide, your boat will go through our world-renowned, comprehensive phase-out maintenance process

What Owners are Saying

“If you plan to charter multiple times a year and you enjoy it, you need to buy. I love the flexibility of use and that fact that we own a boat in the British Virgin Islands. As a Moorings Owner we don’t have to worry about insurance, dockage, repairs or maintenance. We use it, we enjoy it, and we love it. You get to explore more, and you meet a whole boating community. It also provides an opportunity to plug in with the locals, and you get to know people in a different light.”

All I can say is that we have been very impressed. The staff handling bookings and sales have been excellent. The marina staff and management throughout the world have been great. Basically everything I have been promised has been delivered. That is the reason we bought another boat. At the end of the day, we trust a company that has been around for so long.

“It is an affordable way to have a beautiful boat. The key word is affordable. Because the yacht is in the ownership program, it helps subsidize the cost of the yacht, And it is nice to be able to go to a beautiful place and enjoy your boat.”
