There is an increasing number of qualified charterers desiring clean, well maintained vessels to cruise the Chesapeake Bay. The charter business offers an attractive option for the boat owner. Your 60% of gross revenue can greatly defray the expense of ownership. A suitable yacht, properly managed, should earn sufficient revenue to cover the owner's cost of annual maintenance, haul-out, slip rental and insurance; and may contribute to the mortgage. There are no longer restrictions on owner's usage of their charter vessel, so they may continue to enjoy their boat during idle time. Please consult your CPA or tax attorney for advice relating to your personal situation.

If you presently own a yacht, we will gladly inspect the vessel for Chesapeake Bay charter suitability. If you are considering purchase, our brokerage, ATLANTIC YACHT WORKS, INC. can assist you in locating a yacht which is appealing to you as an owner, and desirable to charterers. Our brokers are professional and detail oriented. They can advise you on features which will maximize revenue.

Our boat owners benefit financially from charter revenue, their resale value is protected as the vessel is professionally maintained, and their yacht is always in "charter-ready" condition for the owner's personal use. Our Management Package is available upon request. We hope to have you join us!
