Fountaine Pajot donates 11 million euros to Dream Yacht Charter

Fountaine Pajot and the investor Next Stage take control of Dream Yacht Charter, world number 2 in yacht charter. The multihull yard and its partner want to accompany the development of Loïc Bonnet's company.

Acquisition of majority shareholding

Next Stage, a specialist in equity investment in medium-sized companies, and the Fountaine Pajot shipyard have announced that they have entered into exclusive negotiations with the Dream Yacht Charter group to acquire a majority stake. This capital investment of ?11 million for Fountaine-Pajot and ?14 million for Next Stage is a first step in the group's long-term industrial support policy. It should be noted that Next Stage has already acquired a stake in Fountaine-Pajot in 2016.

The transaction is expected to close before October 2017.

Funds for further development

Dream Yacht Charter was created in 2001 by Loïc Bonnet. With a first base of only 6 yachts in the Seychelles when it was created, the company is now present in the main navigation basins of the globe, through a fleet of more than 850 boats positioned in 47 bases. With his partner Romuald Caillaud, Loïc Bonnet had until now succeeded in self-financing the company's development, whether through internal growth or external acquisition. The company, which posts a turnover of 90 M € in 2016, will now rely on its new shareholders to consolidate and pursue its industrial development, in a boat rental market in full mutation with the development of collaborative practices and boat clubs.

By taking a stake in Dream Yacht Charter , Fountaine-Pajot takes a prime position in the boat rental market, where multihulls dominate. The rochelais yard is supported in this investment by one of its own shareholders. Synergies will emerge, as Nicolas Gardies, Managing Director of Fountaine Pajot explains. "This association with Dream Yacht Charter and NextStage is totally in line with Fountaine-Pajot's growth strategy. It reinforces our company's position in the rental world, where Dream Yacht Charter occupies a central place, particularly in the catamaran segment. This alliance will benefit from the remarkable dynamics of each of our two companies and the development of all possible complementarities."

What Is the Best Yacht Charter Ownership Program? A Comprehensive Guide

What is the best yacht charter ownership program  a comprehensive guide.

If you've ever dreamt of owning a sailing yacht and embarking on life-changing adventures while maximizing your investment, Navigare Yachting’s yacht charter ownership programs can turn that dream into a reality. 

With several options available, how do you determine the best yacht charter ownership program for your needs? In this guide, we'll explore the key features and benefits of Navigare Yachting's most popular Ultimate ownership program, providing valuable insights to help you make an informed decision and see if this is the right fit for you.

Flexible Investment Program:

Navigare Yachting’s Ultimate program provides unparalleled flexibility and empowers you to steer the course of your yacht ownership experience. With this program, you have complete control over how often you explore our 11 destinations and have the potential to maximize your charter revenue with a variable income of up to 12% annually. 

This program sends the majority of the revenue to the owner. From this revenue stream, you will pay the maintenance expenses of the yacht. The additional risk allows the program to qualify for US tax advantages and, typically, offers the highest return. With this program, your yacht can quickly turn into a profit-generating asset. 

To learn more in-depth about the Ultimate program, check out this webinar . 

Yacht Ownership Made Easy:

With the Ultimate program, you purchase a new yacht through Navigare Yachting, which is then placed in our charter fleet. In our ownership programs, Navigare takes care of all the logistics associated with maintenance and charter turnover, relieving you of the hassle and saving you both money and time. 

Enjoy the privileges of yacht ownership without stress. Leave all the work associated with boat ownership for us. You’ll enjoy your boat on your own schedule and let it generate income the rest of the time without having to lift a finger.

Maximize Income Potential:

The Ultimate Program is not our most popular program without reason. One of its most significant advantages is the opportunity to maximize your income. With the Ultimate program, also known as the variable program, you can capitalize on any unused owner weeks by leaving the boat available for charter to increase your earnings. The percentage of income varies depending on factors such as the type of boat you buy, destination choice, and yacht maintenance. 

While the Ultimate program has the potential to be the most profitable, if you prefer a higher level of security, you may opt for the Complete or Smart programs instead, which offer a guaranteed income and no maintenance costs or the ability to offset the initial cost of the yacht using charter revenue.   

Flexibility to Explore the World:

Imagine indulging in the pleasures of sailing the world as little or as often as you desire. In this investment program, you can use your yacht for up to 12 weeks per year. This opportunity gives you the choice between maximizing your revenue by leaving the yacht available for charter or getting the most out of your investment by sailing more. 

All of our ownership programs not only give you access to your own boat but to our entire fleet and all of our 11 destinations. With a steep discount, you can charter any other yacht in the fleet, giving you the exclusive opportunity to explore other parts of the world and other yacht models while your own boat generates income. 

The Ultimate program offers a flexible sailing schedule, where you have the ability to reserve the boat last minute if it has not been booked by charter guests. Additionally, you can share your yacht with your loved ones as owner weeks can be used by your direct family members, without extra charge to them. 

Expert Guidance and Support:

At Navigare Yachting, our team of experts takes care of yacht maintenance and charter turnovers, ensuring that you can enjoy your yacht stress-free. 

We provide professional yacht and charter management services, with a dedicated owner support system. Our owner’s concierge will take care of you from the day you enter the fleet to the day you leave it, helping you book your owner’s weeks and taking care of any inquiries you might have. 

Furthermore, our unique online Service Platform allows you to track all planned and completed services in real-time, keeping a close eye on your vessel at all times. 

Holiday Program Rewards:

In our charter fleet, in addition to the sailing time mentioned above, you gain access to our exclusive Holiday Program called Thirdhome . This program allows you to earn points that can be exchanged for unforgettable vacations on land anywhere in the world. Whether you prefer sailing on your own yacht (or another yacht in our fleet) or exploring various worldwide destinations and live in luxury vacation homes, the Ultimate program offers it all. 

Thirdhome will take your vacations to the next level, exchanging your week on the water for a luxury ski resort in the Alps, a massive villa in Bali, or a beautiful beach house in Costa Rica while only paying a small cleaning and booking fee. The Holiday program offers thousands of luxury vacation rentals globally and is a truly unique opportunity to get even more out of your yacht ownership. 

Carefully Planned Exit Strategy:

When considering a yacht ownership program, it's essential to have a clear exit strategy in mind. Navigare Yachting understands this and offers guidance tailored to your long-term goals and will assist you in making the best decision. 

Through our ownership programs, we offer many beneficial exit strategies, whether you want to continue owning boats, take a break from the boating lifestyle, or retire and go cruising. 

Thanks to the high market value of our yachts at the end of the charter program, one reasonable option is to simply sell the boat. Trading the vessel in for a new boat is another great option that tailors to those who want to continue living the boating lifestyle within a financially sound framework. Or why not retire on your yacht and sail away into the horizon? Enjoy complete freedom and explore the world.

No matter what you choose, our sales representatives are here to guide you through every step of your exit from the fleet. 

All of Navigare Yachting's yacht charter ownership programs provide an exceptional opportunity to own a yacht, maximize your investment, and enjoy unforgettable sailing adventures all at the same time. The Ultimate program has been our most popular historically due to its flexibility, income potential, expert guidance, and access to exclusive benefits. The Ultimate program clearly stands out as an excellent choice for those seeking a financially rewarding yacht ownership program.

Our team of experts is ready to help you embark on a journey of luxury, freedom, and financial rewards, so what are you waiting for? Don’t hesitate to get in touch and start your yacht ownership adventure with Navigare Yachting today!

Buy to let guide: owning and chartering a catamaran – everything you need to know about how to make it work

• Toby Hodges
• July 11, 2018

The organisers of the International Multihull Boat Show in La Grande Motte, estimate that somewhere between 900 and 1,100 catamarans were built last year.

Demand is raging, leaving manufacturers scrambling to increase capacity to meet it.

The benefits of catamarans are obvious: more living space, faster performance off the wind (and sometimes on it) and a stable platform for a more family-friendly experience.

Sailors the world over were also thrilled by the performance of the boats in the last two America’s Cups , while the circumnavigation endeavours of Thomas Coville, François Gabart et al have shown that multihulls are up to the rigours of the oceans.

Charter has been one of the catalysts for demand: the facility to pick a new or favourite cruising ground from Tahiti to the Med and try out a catamaran there.

“In our time we have seen the standard go from pretty basic 27ft monohulls to an expectation of 40ft+ monos and cats, with air-con and many more comforts,” says Julian Adams, yacht sales consultant for Sunsail and The Moorings.

“Today’s charterer can now enjoy the thrills of a performance sailing boat without having to compromise on comfort. The added stability of achieving great performance while remaining upright also opens a door to bringing non-sailing friends on trips, without the anxiety of a white knuckle ride.

“Our fleet has approximately 40 per cent catamarans currently, and the demand for catamaran purchase is now equal or greater than for that of monohulls,” he adds.

Charter ownership is attractive because you’re not responsible for the boat’s upkeep, and you can typically spread the costs of ownership more widely than you can with an outright purchase.

As first-time charter boat owner Julie Boyd explains below, you can swap weeks on your own boat for weeks anywhere the company has a charter base: “We can now sail in places that we would never have taken our previous boat.”

Location, location, location

Pick a location where you are interested in sailing, not one that you think will charter well. And don’t be put off by that old story about the Med being unsuitable for catamarans because of tight berths. Adams says: “Those smaller spots where space is at a premium are often as easily accessed by berthing your cat on a buoy or anchor and using your larger RIB to access the dock. With berthing fees as they are today, this has more advantages than one.”

The best advice is to charter with the company before you join their ownership programme – you’ll quickly see how well they take care of the boats and of their customers.

“Looking around their fleet of boats will tell a story about the level of damage they suffer and the standards of day-to-day maintenance,” says Neil Bingham of Sail Grenadines. “I would strongly recommend viewing a five-year-old boat as well as the new ones.” Maintenance is the crucial factor here. Of course, accidents happen sometimes, but a company with a good feel for its customers and a decent repair programme should be able to keep its boats in tip-top condition. Also, check who bears the upfront cost of maintenance – usually it’s the charter firm.

What programme?

Most charter companies offer different ways of paying for your boat. At one end of the spectrum you buy the boat outright and take an annual income (often guaranteed at between 7–9 per cent). You must have the capital available and commit to a four- to five-year contract. On the other hand, you can opt to pay a smaller proportion of the boat’s cost – typically 30-45 per cent – upfront, receive no income, then buy out the remaining value of the boat when the contract reaches term. This works out more costly in the end, but it is less capital intensive.

Sunsail and The Moorings even offer their owners a buyback option at the end of the contract, where the company pays you 20 per cent of the value to surrender the boat. “It’s popular because it avoids the final cash outlay, uncertainty of costs until sale and, in the EU, hefty VAT payment,” said Adams.

Dream Yacht Charter is another big operator with bases across the globe, including some less common destinations such as Baja California, Fort Lauderdale and Mauritius. As well as the more standard contracts, it offers a Performance programme, which gives boat owners exposure to two-thirds of charter income and access to tax benefits.

The downside is that you have to pay maintenance expenses. Dream also has a Crewed Yacht programme, suitable for boats over 45ft, where it will source the crew for you.

Does it pay?

Don’t expect ‘free’ sailing, but if you have the time to make full use of your 8-12 weeks of sailing each year, it should be much cheaper than chartering. And as you can see from the figures above, the cost of ownership is substantially lower than the upfront price of the boat.

Comparing the figures is useful – up to a point, but charter ownership is no commodity, and perhaps the best advice comes from Neil Bingham at Sail Grenadines: “It is important to choose a yacht or catamaran that suits you. This is an investment in leisure; the financial return is often not the most important thing you will get from a yacht partnership arrangement.”

Ocean Cat Sailors

Lucy van hove, la cigale , nautitech open 40 sailors.

Cruising round the world as a family has been a dream of Xavier and mine for decades – even before the kids came along! When we first started going out, we enjoyed sailing holidays in Europe on monohulls, but it was on honeymoon in the Grenadines that we fell in love with catamarans, chartering a Leopard, aptly named Two Purrfect.

When the opportunity came along to take a two-year sabbatical and follow this dream, the space that a catamaran afforded a family of five made it a logical choice. We wanted each child to have their own cabin, and there were also the other advantages, like the view from the galley when cooking, no roll and not having a keel trying to sink you in the case of a hull breach.

We also knew that we wanted a boat that paired aesthetics with performance rather than a floating caravan, which quickly narrowed the field for our selection. The Nautitech Open 40, with its sleek lines and good sailing record, was our preferred option. We had lusted after the Outremer, when looking round La Grande-Motte in 2016, but the maths of the Nautitech (80 per cent of the performance, 50 per cent of the price) made the choice a no-brainer.

We bought La Cigale in La Rochelle in September 2017, and set sail for the Canaries in October, negotiating fishing nets and tankers hugging the Iberian Peninsula.

In Las Palmas we joined the ARC Atlantic Rally. The seminars, support and tracking devices set us up for the ocean crossing, while the open cockpit of the Nautitech came into its own as a social hub, hosting impromptu parties that sometimes numbered more than 30 adults and children.

Since then we have taken on board that sailing around the world often just means fixing our boat in exotic locations. Some of this may be due to wear and tear, but in a new boat like ours it tends to be due to manufacturing faults. The scariest moment came on a night sail past St Vincent, when, in 30 knots of wind, we turned to take in another reef only to discover the wheel had totally stopped responding – the steering cable had snapped. We couldn’t open the engine compartment for repairs for fear of flooding from waves over the stern, and our Garmin autopilot was finding it impossible to cope on just one rudder.

On top of this we discovered that the handle of our emergency rudder was too long and was blocked by the helm seat. Luckily, our secondary Raymarine autopilot managed to cope on a single rudder, and we were able to steer safely into Rodney Bay, St Lucia, eight hours later, using our port and starboard engines.

We have had a couple more dramatic lessons along the way, such as don’t try to get wind by edging a gale; cats really don’t like it! Otherwise, it has been pretty much a case of plain, downwind sailing. In March we headed to Panama, crossing the Canal and the Equator in April – both epic maritime milestones, which we celebrated accordingly!

We are still pinching ourselves now to be in the Galápagos, preparing for our hop across the Pacific with a couple of other ARC families. Ultimately, we are heading to the Antipodes, where we plan to sell our boat before our sabbatical is over and we return to the UK. But the wind may change. Who knows?

Charter owner

Julie boyd, ciceron , lagoon 39, dream yacht charter.

We have been catamaran owners for the past 25 years. We kept an Edel 35 in Neyland, west Wales, sailing her to the Med after we retired, before we bought Ciceron, a Lagoon 39, last July. The Edel was fun to sail, but we decided to upgrade to a more comfortable boat with extra room for family and friends.

We were looking to buy a used Lagoon 380. We also decided that we were going to cut down on our time away from months to weeks. This would mean that the boat would sit unused in a marina for most of the year.

While we were discussing all this, we were offered London Boat Show tickets by Dream Yacht Charter, who kept in touch with us after we’d made inquiries some years before. Looking more closely at the owner-charter option, we decided that this would be an ideal way for us to fulfil our sailing desires.

We opted to buy Ciceron, based in Calanova, Mallorca, via the Dream Easy programme over five years. We paid 35 per cent of the cost of the yacht at the start and will pay another 25 per cent at the end. At that point we will either keep the boat, sell it, or put it into a charter programme and receive an income.

It is worth mentioning that the boat is of much higher specification than standard, including Yanmar 45hp diesels, 2,000W inverter, B&G touchscreen electronics, gel batteries and additional storage in the galley. We don’t receive an income with this programme, but nor do we pay any fees for berthing or management. We just pay a small turnaround fee when we use a boat.

During the five years, we get to sail our own yacht for 8–10 weeks per year in any of Dream’s bases across the world, such as Sardinia, Stockholm and the Seychelles. Being able to walk on board with a small bag to start our holiday, then walk away at the end without any maintenance or cleaning makes a pleasant change. We are very happy with our choice.

In 2011 the overall exhibit space comprised 18 000 sq m. More than 25 000 visitors came to the show.

Quite a number of foreign exhibitors will participate in the show. Foreign companies show increasing interest to yachting business in Russia.

Moscow Boat Show provides the perfect platform from which to preview new products, evaluate market trends, and establish long-lasting and commercially profitable partnerships. Despite the dynamic changes taking place in Russia and the rapid growth of the yachting sector, the show continues to complement and reflect the industry’s demand and is a promotional opportunity not to be missed!

As its popularity and success rate has grown over the last years Moscow Boat Show 2012 has developed to incorporate more than just an exhibition. These special events serve to attract leading exhibitors and visitors and allow all participants the chance to broaden their knowledge and of course their sales potential.
