Thank you for your interest in our Charter Management Program.  The following is a thumbnail sketch of what we are all about….

St. Petersburg Yacht Charters & Sales was started in 1973 and is one of the oldest fleets in the United States.  We manage boats for charter and maintain private boats in our marina.  The requirements for a vessel entering our fleet vary somewhat as we try to remain flexible.  We don't require that you buy a new boat from us.  Your boat can be a trawler, mono hull sailboat, or a catamaran.  It can be new or used.  Charters of course like newer boats, so we will have some age limitations on the boat you own or are looking to purchase.  Because of our flexibility, the only way to present charter information is a discussion with Page Obenshain.

But on to what we can offer you.  There are some distinct advantages to placing your boat into our charter fleet:

• We are dealers for Catalina Yachts & can deal with most any manufacturer.
  
  
• We have experienced yacht brokers to locate that perfect boat for you.

• You don’t have to pay sales tax on the purchase or the maintenance of your boat.

• You can deduct your dockage, maintenance payments and insurance on the boat from your taxes.

• You may depreciate your investment over five years.

• You can earn enough charter income to pay for your dockage, maintenance, insurance and more...

• When you use your boat it will be clean and everything will be in working order.

•  We will accept boats you already own.
