Get Paid to Vacation on Your Own Yacht
Cruising the beautiful blue waters of the Caribbean as a boat owner is the ultimate way to vacation. If you're ready for your very own boat our Charter Yacht Ownership Program offers you two ways to get paid to vacation in the British Virgin Islands.
With the first, you have access to your boat for up to nine weeks each year without the hassle of managing operating expenses like insurance, dockage or maintenance all while receiving monthly income and potential tax savings.

One Customer's Story
“Factoring in the cost of maintenance, dock fees and insurance and the advantages of tax write-offs, hassle-free ownership and basically unlimited access, the MarineMax Charter Yacht Ownership Program just made sense. Since purchasing our Aquila 484 named Villa our frequent adventures to BVI have proven to be just that, hassle-free fun.” - Grazi Zazzara

Why This Family Loves Yacht Ownership
Our first chartering experience was with a MarineMax 382. After that, we also chartered a Moorings 484 and a Moorings 394 in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. During these vacations, we started talking about spending an extended period of time on a boat. Since we were both working at that time, owning a boat at a remote location was not a realistic option. So, we started thinking about the yacht chartering programs as a way of spending an extended time on a boat and figuring out if we liked that lifestyle. -
