Purchase the D37 in Charter management program

You can buy this boat and put it into management with us. It’s an investment
that makes sense!

The Grenadines are a major destination, in high demand throughout the winter
and also the mid & low season. Your boat, based in St-Vincent, will be a few
hours away by plane. Once at the base, the Grenadines nearby await you. The
best of both worlds.

You can invest in this excellent business opportunity. Charter management is
the easiest way to acquire a new boat which can be curtail to your needs.

We guarantee you a minimum annual net income of 50% of gross sales. With an
estimated gross annual income of just over $100,000, this boat will pay for
itself in less than seven years. Here is a summary of the purchase and
delivery costs:

Note 1: Gross income is based on approximately 75% rental availability per
year. The net income is the balance after all expenses are paid: management,
marina, insurance, maintenance etc.

Note 2: The owner can use his sailboat at any time, except of course when it
is already booked. He can book his vacation at any time. Obviously if the
owner chooses to use his sailboat in high season, the income will not be as
high as expected. We suggest using it evenly throughout the year.

Note 3: We offer management/rental plans varying from 3 years minimum to 10
years maximum.

These three models can also be delivered this fall or early 2024

Why invest in a fleet in the Grenadines?

The Grenadines are the pearls of the Lesser Antilles with its turquoise
waters teeming with marine life. Easily accessible by plane, this popular
destination makes boat rental extremely profitable. And following the Covid
and Government restrictions, more than 60% of the boats of the neighboring
fleets have been sold to ensure the survival of their businesses. Those who
survived are currently operating at close to 100% capacity. Even summer &
fall have found takers, this was never seen before! This vacuum is not about
to be filled. Most boat manufacturers have delivery times varying from 12 to
18 months and even more. It's time to invest!

It’s now very easy than ever to get to St-Vincent

Air connections: Toronto: two flights per week, London: three flights per
week: Miami: seven flights per week (daily flight). Martinique: from
December, direct and regular flights. Barbados: Numerous daily flights.
Grenada: several flights per week.

(3)  Get Insurances coverage for your boat anywhere in the world.

Getting insurance coverage for the Caribbean is not easy, especially if you
want to leave your boat there during hurricane season. I purchased my last
boat in 2016. I was insured with the same underwriter of a very large
Charter Company. The premium and conditions were great! And then Irma and
Maria came alone in 2017 alone and sank several hundred boats. The
underwriter pulled out and I lost my coverage

I hopped from one underwriter to another. My premium kept getting higher and
my restrictions worse. The last one even refused that I stay too long in the
French Islands, the safest of all! Where will I get my wine and cheese, I
said!?!?

Couple years ago I was told about Edward Williams, a Spanish broker who has
British underwriter behind. They had great premium and conditions. I checked
around and all people who had claims with them were satisfied with their
settlement.

So I filled up their
<https://www.edwardwilliam.com/boat-insurance/proposal-form?pid=VOA> online
form. I got an answer within 24 hr (very effecient). Their premium was
nearly $2000 cheaper than my latest and nearly no restriction. I can even
keep my boat on my personal mooring in St-Vincent during hurricane season,
thus saving thousand $ of storage rentals in Grenada.

If you need Caribbean coverage, check it out. Who knows, you might be
pleasantly surprised like I was:

(4)  Using a broker to find your best sail vacation makes sense. Here is
why:

With the Internet it is easy to find a boat. But is it wise to go direct? A
beautiful website is not a guarantee of quality...

I’m the founder and owner of Affordable Yachting (Voile Abordable). I’m an
experience skipper (I’m the owner of the SO 54DS above). I also charter the
world for the past 20 years with various companies. I’m most likely the very
first Canadian “charter” broker in history. I speak both English and French
which allowed me to developed contact with all charters companies in the
world for the past 25 years. Not only can I find you the right boat but I
will also provide you with local information about the sea you want to
visit.

In general I would say that 98% of charter always goes well but sometime
they are claims. As a broker, my loyalty goes to the clients and I work to
make sure that a client is properly taken care when problems arise. Because
of our volume, we have more weight than a client alone. If a broker is not
satisfied with the way a claim is handle, it’s not just a client that the
company is at risk of losing, but it’s entire business. So just to say, they
tend to be very nice to us, thus to you.
