There is no single universal strategy to net worth neutral yacht ownership. Each strategy is uniquely tailored to meet the specific goals and objectives of each individual client and to provide a superior alternative to traditional forms of yacht ownership.
Traditional Yacht Ownership
​For example, conventional wisdom is that when a yacht owner buys a new yacht, he could reasonably expect to lose up to 50% over the next five years in depreciation alone. That's $500,000 after tax dollars for every $1,000,000 of yacht purchase price.
Plus all of the other operating and ancillary costs of owning and maintaing a yacht which can easily surpass 10% per year.
While there may be some limited ways that attempt to defray some of those costs, such as charter etc, it is just generally accepted by most advisors and yacht owners that the substantial expenses and decrease to the owner's net worth are just the necessary price of enjoying the yachting lifestyle.
