In general, the larger the yacht (and newer), the less it has to charter to break even on expenses. For a boat like Excellence III, the owner probably has to charter about 12-15 weeks a year, then the rest of his usage is almost free. Except for hullouts, and major repairs. However, realize that the charter market is a demand industry, if the purpose of the boat is for profit, the boat has to be available at all times and in the best locations i.e. med and carib. With your budget and 12 weeks of charter, I think you are better off collecting your commission on each charter. That way, your clients have access to an assortment of boats in many locations. As for time shares, I don't know much about them, but I don't see the advantage in your situation. That is the latest way for brokers and managers to make money, not charter companies. But what do I know?
