The Smartest Way
To Own Your Yacht
Learn how it is possible to offset a substantial portion of new yacht costs with business income, special financing options, and potential tax advantages*.
ACY Yachts has assisted hundreds of successful boat owners in setting up their own yacht charter businesses. Choose your boat, choose where to keep it, and let us help you achieve a better ownership solution.
Like many other businesses, certain for-profit yacht charter businesses may qualify for business deductions including depreciation, dockage, maintenance, and other related expenses for a yacht.
We have resources available to assist, including financing and insurance experts, yacht management companies, and independent tax advisors, to help you understand and execute the most prudent path to ownership. We offer boat buying information, management information, and we can refer independent tax advisors who can help you understand and support this approach.
ACY is co-hosting a webinar introduction to Business Yacht Ownership on December 10, 2024 at 7pm. Register now to join us and submit your questions.

Benefits of Business Yacht Ownership®
- Our experts, together with your personal tax advisor, will put your business on the right track helping you with the guidelines that work with the Coast Guard, banks, insurance companies, and yacht management companies.
- We work with you to carefully plan, document, and implement your yacht purchase project, assisting you every step of the way.
- Maximum flexibility for the yacht owner. Have your boat, your way, when you want it. Keep it where you want, and change your mind easily.
Reduce the Cost of Ownership
Choose your boat, choose where you would like to keep it and set it up as a for-profit business where income and potential tax advantages can help offset costs of traditional ownership. You choose a boat set up the way a private boat is configured. Expressly set up for you. Choose your location, and how much you want to use it. You can even follow the sun, move your boat seasonally from one location to another. We believe this approach is the least expensive way to own a new yacht.
We have seen a number of charter companies attempting to offer what appears on the surface to be a similar approach. The difference is, our program is not a “Charter Company” program. We offer an alternative that works better for the private yacht owner, designed and tested by the experiences of hundreds of our past clients and their professional advisors. With over 1,000 clients who have set up in their own successful boat business, our approach has always been offered to provide independent resources to support an individual owner’s goals, not as a program to fill a charter fleet.
