ON DECK CHARTER MANAGEMENT MAPS OUT ROUTE FOR EASY AND AFFORDABLE YACHTING

Getting the best deal
Ondeck has launched a new initiative to make boat ownership a reality for all: whether you’re a seasoned sailor who has always dreamt of owning your own yacht or still ‘wet behind the ears’ having completed a recent Competent Crew. It is now possible and affordable to achieve this dream and get out on the water whenever you please.

Using the backing, expertise and reliability of one of the fastest growing sailing, racing and sea school companies, potential owners or groups can enjoy Ondeck’s unrivalled buying power to become owners of a luxury new 41ft yacht - an Elan 410 - at the best possible price and which offers an immediate return on the investment to help pay for it.

Making it pay
With bases around the world – UK, Portugal, Antigua, Charleston, US Ondeck are able to ensure owning a yacht is actually affordable through reliable and efficient charter income achieved through the Ondeck Charter Management programme which is always looking for quality charter yachts to join its ever-expanding fleet. Yachts can achieve an income of over £25,000 per yacht on the scheme.

As a potential replacement for the still-popular but depleted Beneteau First 40.7 fleet on the race and charter circuit, the Elan 410 has already earnt rave reviews and achieved a string of impressive race results, but also makes a popular and comfortable cruiser for sailing with family and friends. It has also become the perfect choice for corporate sailing following an outstanding track record of success in yacht charter.

No time, no worries
Looking after your investment is always a huge commitment when owning a boat, but with this new scheme, the yacht is bought by either a private individual, group of friends or yacht club at an extremely competitive rate direct from the builders and achievable only through Ondeck.

Ondeck’s Russell Lake explains how it works: “We are a bit different from the usual management company. Firstly we buy direct from the builder and have negotiated the Elan 410 at a huge saving, then we will handle everything from management of the new build through to delivery, MCA coding for charter and of course managing the charter of it to help pay for the investment. We make it easy and affordable, especially for those who never thought they could achieve ownership. We also have an envied and trusted reputation for looking after our charter fleet and will make sure the boat is kept in tiptop condition and ready for the owners use.”

Affordable yachting
Mike Theobold, owner of Elan 410 in charter management with Ondeck comments: "Since taking delivery of our yacht, my expectations of comfort and great performance have been fully realised. Ondeck has managed my yacht with care and consideration and secured more income at an earlier point in the year than we have achieved at any other time.”
