The Smart Way to Own a Yacht:Charter Ownership
Have you always wanted to own your own yacht on the San Francisco Bay?  Spinnaker Sailing of Redwood City has a unique and attractive way for you to enjoy owning your own yacht; How about if you could own a yacht and have the maintenance, docking and insurance fees paid for by others?

Most privately owned yachts are rarely used, and stay tied up to their marina slip for most of the year.  And, the costs of ownership do not decrease just because these yachts hardly ever go sailing.  With the Yacht Charter Ownership Program at Spinnaker Sailing pf Redwood City your yacht can be out sailing and earning money for you when you are too busy to be sailing.

Even better; when your yacht is in the Spinnaker Sailing Yacht Charter Program we look after all the maintenance, cleaning, checking and servicing on your yacht on your behalf.  All you need to ever worry about is when to go sailing next.

Spinnaker Sailing has the experience to manage your yacht to achieve the most revenue possible while minimizing expenses.  In addition your yacht is now considered a business rather than a luxury asset, you can now claim depreciation and any other expenses not covered by revenue as tax deductions.

Your Boat as an Income Earning Asset:
Each month you will receive a detailed breakdown of the yacht charter work your boat did for that month. Yacht charter revenue is split 50/50 between the yacht owner and Spinnaker Sailing.  When the owners share of the charter revenue exceeds the cost of berthage and any maintenance carried out then we send you a check with your statement.

Tax Benefits:
Having your yacht in the Spinnaker Sailing yacht charter program establishes your boat as a business asset.  As a business asset you are able to claim all expenses including depreciation and interest on financing as a tax deduction.  Please ask for a financial proforma for the model of yacht you are considering.
