Seattle, WA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) January 20, 2005 -- The Global Yacht Club, headquartered in Seattle,
Washington at Fisherman’s terminal, which specializes in fractional ownership of
sportfishing yachts, sailboats and luxury-yachts is showcasing this unique and
affordable way to own a boat at the Seattle Boats Afloat Show on Lake Union in
the hospitality tent next to Cucina Cucina through the 23rd of January.
Utilizing fractional ownership, potential boat buyers can get a lot more
boat for a lot less money and completely remove themselves from the day to day
management of the boat they purchase while splitting the hard costs of
maintaining that boat with several other owners. The company caters to both
experienced yachters as well as the most inexperienced by providing
comprehensive training and delivering to each owner, the necessary skills to
pilot their yacht in a safe and responsible manner.
The Global Yacht
Club provides complete management services for the boat owners throughout the
duration of their contract which is typically 5 years. Services include managing
the moorage, relocation, insurance, accounting, taxes, scheduling, crew, repairs
and any unforeseen issues that may arise. Fractional Owners can also choose to
put their share into charter through the company’s charter division and earn a
return on their investment.
Organized in multiples of 10% interests,
buyers can purchase the yacht of their dreams on a level that best represents
their anticipated usage. For example, a 10% fractional interest in a new 28 foot
Ciera moored at Lake Union provides an owner 33 guaranteed day’s annual usage
for a one time buy-in of $5000.00. The company’s “Anywhere – Anytime” guarantee
provides each owner unlimited additional usage on a space availability basis.
This includes access to other yachts in other regions worldwide that are under
the management of Global Yacht Club.
CEO, Travis Moegling comments; “Our
fractional ownership opportunity provides the most common sense way to own a
boat, whether it’s a 36 foot sailboat in the San Juans or 130 foot mega-yacht in
the Mediterranean. With this option, buyers can buy a lot more boat for a lot
less money. National averages show that owners use their boat less than 30 days
a year.”
The fractional yacht program is widely appealing to yacht
owners whose boat sits idle for the better part of the year. The company
provides those owners an opportunity to dilute their costs while still
maintaining a fractional share that corresponds to their yachting needs.
The Global Yacht Club is a Seattle based company and a division of
Global Shares Inc. which owns several companies specializing in fractional
ownership including the Global Residence Club which offers fractional
opportunities in luxury real estate worldwide. The Global Yacht Club is
dedicated to making boating more fun, accessible and affordable for anyone
looking to get out on the water. Other than offering fractional ownership, the
Global Yacht Club operates charter services and boutique yacht brokerage
services.
