MAKING MONEY WITH CATAMARANS

I get asked a lot about "Making Money With Catamarans" through chartering. Here is a brief description of the major programs available.
It is important to understand the effect of depreciation on the value of the yacht and I can explain this in detail with numbers if you contact me.
For more information or to contact me please go to my website www.largecatamaransforsale.com/
My website has 98% of all catamarans listed for sale in the world between 38'-90'. Save time with "One Stop Shopping" and avoid all the fake "phantom listings" you find on most websites that are not "policed" for fakes.

Would love to get the down low on how to make money buying a double deck cat for snorkel / sunset cruise

Hello. I’ve recently being to Caribe and saw a catamaran with stairs coming from the front, and it lowered both in the sea to allow easy access to the water as well as on the beach to allow passenger to board in and out without support boat.
Does any model come with those front stairs, or are they all custom cats?

Great talk, thanks!

[@zheuseldracula007]

very helpful info,very honest...

[@kevinhornbuckle]

I used to do boutique land yacht (conversion bus) charters. The limitations of the business model were pretty much the same.

[@Catamarans]

That's a thing? TIL...

What are the best cats for charter on the market? Ranging 250-400k?
Also what’s the average maintenance cost for a cat per year in terms of value of the boat itself? Say 5% / yr + a big maintenance every 10yr (not guessing just an example)?

Hi, I'm a slow typist and can best answer this if we can talk on the phone as this could take 20-30 minutes to fully cover this.

Gary, one day I will call you to be my broker, do you have advise on how to get your wife who loves the ocean but not boats so much commitment to spending 6 figures on a Catamaran so I can live in Missouri in the summer and Florida in the winter?

[@Catamarans]

THE ANSWER IS:
"VERY CAREFULLY".... ARRANGE A CREWED CHARTER IN THE BVI IN THE PRIME SEASON (DEC 20-MARCH 30) AND DON'T HOLD BACK...GIVE HER THE TIME OF HER LIFE...THEN MAYBE, IF YOU ARE LUCKY, SHE WILL COME AROUND

@@Catamarans that and show her the resale value on a well kept cat :D They can be a good investment.

...when you say "$10/foot/month, behind a home" ... do you mean that if I own a home on a canal with a dock, I still have to pay extra for my own slip? Or are you saying that's the going rate that someone with a private dock would charge me to keep my boat there?... or at a public marina??? Thanks Gary!

[@Catamarans]

$10/foot/month is the going rate for storing behind a private home in Florida IF you book in the "low season". If you show up on December 1st you will not find this rate. This is the price you pay the homeowner to store the yacht there. No liveaboards allowed behind most houses because it is not zoned for that.
