Why Place a Boat in Charter With Navigare Yachting
If you’ve recently visited a boat show and learned about charter ownership programs, you may be asking yourself if buying a yacht and placing it in a reputable charter fleet is the right choice for you.
At Navigare Yachting, we always ask potential owners what they hope to accomplish with their yacht purchase.
For many, the goal is to enjoy as much time on the water as possible without the burden of having to pay for every trip. Placing a yacht in a charter program is one of the most effective ways to significantly offset the cost of ownership.
Others are focused on maximizing revenue with an investment that diversifies their portfolio and delivers far stronger returns than a traditional Certificate of Deposit (CD). And for some, the primary motivation is securing the most advantageous tax benefits available.
Choose the Ownership Program That Best Fits Your Needs
Whether you want to sail more, earn more income, or eventually sail away on a fully owned yacht, Navigare Yachting offers flexible programs tailored to your needs.
If you sail a couple of weeks or more each year and can afford a new boat, placing a yacht in our fleet offers a stress-free way to enjoy ownership without the time-consuming responsibilities.
When you join Navigare’s charter fleet, we handle all professional maintenance, service, logistics, marketing, and bookings. You simply show up and sail. With the help of our Owner’s Concierge, you can reserve time on your own yacht or on nearly any other yacht in our global fleet.

The Guarantee Flex Program: Guaranteed Income & Zero Operating Costs
Our guaranteed income model, known as the Guarantee Flex Program, is ideal for owners looking for predictable revenue and minimal involvement.
You can receive up to 8% guaranteed annual revenue for up to 6 seasons, designed to cover your mortgage payments and often generate additional income. With this program:
- You pay no operating expenses
- You receive the exact percentage return outlined in your contract
- All maintenance and charter operations are handled and covered by Navigare
For owners who prefer low risk and total simplicity, the Guarantee Flex Program offers exceptional peace of mind. The rate that we commit to is the rate you’ll lock in for the duration of the program.
The Worldwide Performance Program: Highest Earning Potential & Possible Tax Advantages
For owners seeking the perfect balance between lifestyle benefits and earning potential, our Worldwide Performance Program is a great fit as it historically provides the highest revenue.
This shared-revenue model treats your yacht as an active business. Navigare handles bookings, charter operations, and global marketing, while you cover the ongoing expenses from your charter proceeds.
The Worldwide Performance Program offers:
- Higher earning potential
- Hands-on involvement in building your business
- The possibility of significant tax benefits through active yacht ownership*
We’ll guide you through the process and can recommend an independent CPA to support you. The approach carries slightly more risk, but it also offers the greatest rewards, both financially and in potential tax savings.
