Attention to details!



Do you presently own a boat?
Do you dream of owning a boat?

Chartering your yacht can help defray the cost of ownership.
As the owner of a yacht you may have the following expenses:

  • Monthly Payment
  • Insurance
  • Maintenance
  • Slip Fees

As the owner of a charter yacht represented by Annapolis Bay Charters, Inc. you will have those same expenses, but you will have charter income to offset them!

In addition, you will enjoy these benefits:

  • Unlimited Personal Use of Your Yacht
  • Professional Maintenance
  • Charter Revenue
  • Tax Benefits
  • Significant Reduction in the Cost of Yacht Ownership

 

With a comprehensive Yacht Management Program in place we can provide you with income and professional care for your yacht.
