Boarding Notice
We look forward to welcoming you aboard, however, please understand advance
reservations are a courteous and strict requirement. We do not wish to impose
upon the owner's itinerary or the captain's work schedule.
Often yachts change locations unannounced so visit confirmations are essential. Private Aircraft Co-ownership.
Once a yacht is purchased, the owner's concern turns to accessing the yacht
while docked in distant ports. Frustration with the problems of commercial air
travel and the need to maintain adequate supplies onboard lead many owners to
investigate owning their own aircraft.
To meet the range of requirements of various yacht owners, we present a fleet
of jet aircraft of every size, class, and price range. With proper management,
a private aircraft will simplify travel schedules, solve supply and staffing problems
and allow more time to be spent aboard the yacht.
Considered prestigious, it more importantly provides travelers additional safety,
unprecedented convenience and every luxurious comfort. We recommend co-ownership
because of these many advantages and distinct economical benefits.
When time is of importance and personal safety imperative, a private jet is
an absolute necessity.

the commissioning of the newly built yachts. They may also oversee the upgrade
or refurbishing and care of the pre-owned and classic yachts.
Registration. Offshore Flag of Convenience
A vessel's country of registration should be carefully considered. Of note,
the majority of yachts are registered offshore, that is, registered outside the
USA.
The banking communities of the Caymans and Bahamas offer yacht registration
services that present interesting benefits. The Marshall Islands, St Vincent as
well as many others also have active registration centers.
Offshore registration, or flagging as it is loosely termed, may avoid certain
taxes and offer various benefits. The effects of the rules and regulations must
be considered in their entirety with the benefits and disadvantages fully understood
before registration is placed.

extent often quoted as "better than new".
