Three key factors to help you make the best charter boat investment

At Flagstaff Marine, we’re passionate about the water and about helping you make the best charter boat investment choice possible. There’s plenty to think about when you’re looking to buy – from the type of craft to the size and style to finances and fees, and the option that best suits you and potential charter customers.

We’ve been brokering luxury boats from the world’s leading brands for decades, so we really know the ins and outs of charter boat investment.

And we think there are three key factors you need to think about if you want to make an astute investment – and live the ocean life you’ve been dreaming of.

Charter boat style and size

Charter boat style and size

The first thing you need to think about if you’re looking to invest in a charter boat, is obviously the type of boat and the size. Thinking about a premium luxury ocean yacht, a stunning cruising yacht, or maybe a multihull? Or how about a sleek, stylish and powerful trawler or sports cruiser?

Your choice will depend on your immediate aims, long-term plans and maybe even ultimate dream destinations. Charter income will vary based on the size and configuration of your boat – which directly shapes the nightly or weekly hire cost – and the age of your vessel. An older vessel will still be appealing for many clients, but there will be maintenance costs to keep it in top condition.

Charter customers look for quality, practicality and performance. Our sail and power boats from Beneteau, Amel, Excess and Lomac are designed with safety, quality and dependability front and centre… and they are always elegant.

Comfort and comprehensive features

Comfort and comprehensive features

From swimming decks to swivel televisions, it’s the extras that really count, especially when it comes to charter yachts and power boats.

At Flagstaff Marine, we source leading brands from around the globe and our yachts, catamarans and power boats are sleek, stylish and designed for pure comfort. You can expect beautiful, airy and spacious interiors, luxurious finishes and clever configurations that make spaces ideal for both entertaining and quiet contemplation.

Comprehensive features can range from hydraulic swim platforms to high ceiling hotel-style cabins, U-shaped cockpits for entertaining, retractable sunroofs and wet bars. We have a wide range of sail and power listings with complete details, and you can of course contact us with any questions.

When it comes to charter boats – just like everything else – location really does matter. And it makes a difference both to you and your potential customers.

Obviously if you invest in a charter you want to be able to recoup costs as much as possible, and one of the key ways to make that happen is to opt for a high-demand charter location.

Sailors and boat lovers charter a boat when they’re heading off on a holiday or exploring with family or friends, and spots like the glorious Whitsundays, glistening Port Douglas or rugged Tasmania are perennially popular, but just a few of your many options.

Consider too how close you are to your charter, and if it matters. If you’re going to be on board every other weekend, maybe something closer to home like Sydney Harbour could work better. It will really depend on how often you plan to be on board and if you’re happy to travel further afield

The Flagstaff Marine team is made up of dedicated ocean explorers. We know the ins and outs of popular charter spots, and even a few hidden gems.
