Yacht Ownership

Yacht Charter Ownership

Pacific Yachting & Sailing is continually seeking current boat owners and future owners that are interested in placing their new or late model sailing yacht into our charter fleet. The concept of owning a boat and having it earn it's keep is quite justifiable. Please see testimonal below.

1. We can help save you money on the purchase of your boat because of our relationship with certain dealers on the West Coast. We can also help you in selecting what type of boat would suit your particular sailing needs.
2. We provide you with a slip in the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor. (Currently there is about a 20 year wait for a slip in the lower harbor).
3. We split the charter income with the owner 50/50
4. We can take care of the complete maintenance program on your boat.
5. You can claim various tax benefits by placing your boat in charter.
6. We treat you boat as if it was ours.
7. Our management program of your yacht, ensures that your investment is protected by a quality maintenance program, rigid screening of bareboat customers, comprehensive insurance coverage, responsible boat management contracts, and more.
8. New owners can receive free sailing lessons up to Basic Coastal Cruising.
9. Discounts on charter in tropical locations worldwide.

Listed are the responsibilities of Pacific
Yachting and the Boat Owner.

(a.) business is getting stronger yearly - figures could be higher in the future.
3. Provides maintenance not covered by owner, caused by charter use. Provides substantial discounts on boat parts and maintenance- sub contractors.

5. Markets vessel through national advertising, T.V. , Newspaper,

possible because the better you do, the better we do.

It is very important that the boat owner understand charter placement. We encourage boat owners to use their boats often. However, Pacific Yachting is committed to charter all boats in the Pacific Yachting slips 50 or more times per year. This is one of the Santa Cruz Port District requirements pertaining to public use of the slips Pacific Yachting wants to present a professional image to our customers. Having well maintained, clean, excellent working vessels will reflect this. Thus, customers will return and spend more money if they are pleased with our operation.

Please don't hesitate to call us at 831-423-7245 / (800-374-2626) or e-mail at sail@cruzio.com and we can discuss all of the
details in person if you want to pursue placing a boat in our charter fleet. Thank-You.

Testimonial:

I have a Catalina 320 that was in Marc Kraft's program at Pacific Yachting and Sailing since I purchased it new in March of 1998. I moved it out the of the program in March of this year because I wanted it to be closer to my home in Berkeley.

I was extremely satisfied with the program at Pacific Yachting & Sailing. I don't have the exact records with me just at this moment, but my recollection is that I received about $8,500 in revenue per year in the Pacific program. The cost of insurance was about $1,100 per year. Slip fees are about $223. per month, with an extra $35. or so for electrical hook up.

The guys at Pacific Yachting took excellent care of the boat - somewhat better than the similar program I am currently in with OCSC in Berkeley. For me, the Pacific program was perfect because I used the boat
for occasional overnights while working in the Santa Cruz area and I sailed mostly on weekday evenings. Pacific Yachting is very flexible about scheduling, so if you want to do weekend sailing it usually works out fine - you just loose some revenue. Marc is a fantastic guy - absolutely good to his word and goes overboard to do things right. If not clear already, I recommend the program highly. If you are buying a new 32, I'd also recommend O'Neil Yachts in Santa Cruz - Ray Pingree there is also fantastic.

Best Regards,
