Enjoy Zero Running Costs for the First Three Years of Ownership
When you own a yacht outright, you receive the full benefits of ownership but we also provide two alternative solutions and by allowing your yacht to be available for charter you can enjoy the advantage of zero running costs during the first three years of ownership.
This unique opportunity lets you enjoy owning a yacht without the financial burdens associated with the usual maintenance and operational expenses.
This offer applies to both our Dufour 37 and Dufour 41 models, conveniently located at Mercury Yacht Harbour on the picturesque River Hamble.
By joining our charter program, you can eliminate running costs by utilising the periods when you are not using the boat, all while keeping access to your yacht for your own enjoyment.
Enjoy the freedom of yachting with the assurance that your vessel is generating income, meticulously maintained, and always ready for your own adventures.
Our Charter Management Program
We will generate sufficient charter income to cover the yacht’s annual operating expenses.
We will handle marketing, sourcing, and managing the charters throughout the season. Each charterer is carefully vetted and the sailing area restricted with the area between Chichester and Weymouth.
You’ll benefit from generous access, including at least one weekend each month, two weeks during the sailing season, and an unlimited number of last-minute weekday bookings as you desire.
Our Yacht Share Program
Made up of one owner and three sailing members. The “Owner Member” finances the yacht and bears no extra costs beyond that. The “Sailing Members” for a monthly subscription can enjoy shared access to the yacht.
Universal Yachting handles all maintenance and upkeep of the yacht, including berthing and insurance fees.
Every member is guaranteed 30 – 35 days of sailing during the main season (March – October), plus plenty of opportunities for last-minute sailing in the off-season, subject to availability.
We simplify yacht ownership with a complete maintenance program, ensuring your investment is well cared for and ready for your use whenever you want to set sail. With over 25 years of experience in the charter industry, we are equipped to advise and assist you in all aspects of yacht ownership.
Our approach is personal and flexible, fully aware that purchasing a yacht is a significant investment. We treat every yacht as if it were our own, guaranteeing exceptional care and service.
Based in Mercury Yacht Harbour on the River Hamble this is the ideal location to keep your yacht with easy access into the Solent.
