A program for regular boaters
The management-rental offer is aimed at boaters who are used to renting boats. With a well-organized financing program, within the fiscal and regulatory limits, it becomes interesting from 2 weeks of sailing per year. The average use of our owners is 4 to 5 weeks per year but they can go up to 12 counting the last minute weeks. This program is not suitable for those who sail more than 3 months a year" explains Guillaume Caffin, Sales Manager for Sunsail and The Moorings in Europe.
Boats that are always similar
Clients can discover new waters around the world through the Sunsail - The Moorings network, while maintaining their familiarity. "These are still real sisterships, with the same features and options we chose for the management charter program. More than a hundred perfectly identical Leopard 45s are in operation, giving each owner a real choice!
Truly guaranteed income
To finance the boat, Sunsail - The Moorings guarantees the owner no fees and a monthly income. Essential to the financial arrangement and the repayment of the loan by the client, the latter is assumed in all conditions. "The income is really guaranteed. There is no clause in the contract to get rid of it. Even when boats were damaged by hurricane Irma and were not used for a long time, the sums were paid" underlines Guillaume Caffin.
Used catamarans with a good resale capacity
The framework for the use of the boats and the rigorous management of the fleet allow a precise follow-up of the boat. "Our clients, who often rented from us before switching to management-leasing, have already noticed the quality of the maintenance. Our operating budget has always been significant, even when the boats were stopped for Covid. A boat has to be perfectly maintained," says the manager of Sunsail - The Moorings.
The quality of the follow-up guarantees a high resale price of the boat. This guarantees the viability of the overall economic package. "Thanks to our mastery of the global commercial chain as the sole Leopard client and with a dedicated, globalized and very efficient brokerage department, we are able to quickly resell the catamarans at around 60% of the new value after the 5-year program" concludes Guillaume Caffin.
