Charter Investment
— Scenario Explorer

Adjust the sliders to see how purchase price, charter weeks, and operating costs interact in a generic charter-investment scenario. This is not a quote for any specific yacht — defaults use industry rules of thumb. For real numbers on a specific yacht in our fleet or a custom new-build configuration, request a per-yacht feasibility study.

Illustrative scenario only — not a financial projection, not a guarantee, not specific to any yacht. Real returns vary materially by yacht, base, configuration, financing, and market conditions. Numbers shown should be treated as educational, not as a forecast.

These are general estimates, not a financial projection. Every yacht model has different charter rates, seasonal demand, and operating costs. Your personalised feasibility study will reflect the specific yacht you're considering.

Conservative scenario: € 0/yr (0% operating result) — with 15% lower weekly rate and 18 charter weeks. Your actual result on any specific yacht will be different and is modelled in that yacht's individual feasibility study. Request a per-yacht feasibility study →
Your 3 personal weeks are worth € 0/year at the market charter rate — an in-kind benefit taken from otherwise-unsold capacity, not income. It is never added to the operating result or the percentage above. Over 5 years that is € 0 of sailing you would otherwise pay charter rates for. The charter-weeks slider counts sellable weeks only — your personal weeks are additional, not subtracted from it.
For context: privately kept boats in Croatia average 33 days of use a year, carrying around €10,000 in annual fixed costs before depreciation — roughly €300 for every day actually spent on the water (HTZ / Institut za turizam, TOMAS Nautika 2022, owners with a permanent Croatian berth). Charter management exists to make the other weeks work for you: the season funds the yacht, and your own sailing weeks stay in the plan.
One-time VAT refund: € 0 (year 1, via commercial charter use through your Croatian d.o.o.) — a one-off reduction of your cost basis, not annual income, and not part of the operating result above. It reduces your effective cost basis to € 0.

5-Year Cumulative Operating Result (excl. resale)
Important: All figures are illustrative estimates using general industry averages — not a financial projection or guarantee. The default assumptions (1.30% weekly rate, 21 weeks, 7.85% total owner costs) are rules of thumb from our business planning; every yacht model, age, base location, and season will produce different numbers. The 35% management fee covers Angelina's operational services (bookings, marketing, crew coordination, reporting); owner-borne costs (servicing, berth, insurance, bookkeeping) are shown separately and adjustable above. Income is shown before Croatian corporate tax (nominally 10%, but effectively 0% due to yacht depreciation offsetting taxable income). Complete VAT refund applies through commercial charter use via Croatian d.o.o. Your personalised feasibility study will replace these estimates with real figures for your specific scenario.

These are estimates. Want the real numbers?

This calculator shows generic illustrative outputs (currently ~€34.632/year on your selected scenario). Real numbers for any specific yacht — current inventory or a custom new-build configuration — come from a per-yacht feasibility study modelling the actual purchase price, charter rates, operating costs, financing structure, VAT recovery timing, and exit value. Request one — typically within 48 hours, no obligation.
