Seawind Ownership Opportunities
Charter Ownership
If you have plans for future catamaran cruising, but just can’t wait to get out on the water and start living the cruising life, then you should consider a charter investment. Not only can you enjoy cruising in an idyllic location within the safety-net of a fully managed charter fleet, but charter investments also offer an economical path towards accelerated boat ownership.
Seawind remains the dominant brand for charter catamarans in Australia’s Whitsundays with more Seawind charter vessels there than any other, while sailing catamarans in general are now the most popular type of charter vessel in the world.
Financing for commercial bareboat charter is available from a variety of lenders typically for 50% to 70% of the total capital value. A fully equipped charter Seawind 1160 with 50% financing, after interest payments, can return around $21,000 annually with good management.
In summary, a bareboat charter investment is an excellent way of having your own fully maintained boat so you may enjoy your private sailing now – rather than in 5-10 years! Furthermore, you have a tangible asset providing a positive return in these uncertain financial times.

Syndicate Ownership
Boat syndication has been around for nearly as long as recreational boating has, but more recently it has become a popular means for sailing enthusiasts who don’t necessarily know one-another of owning a new boat. Why?…because unless you have plenty of time and money available, having a new boat sit on a mooring that is not getting used as much as possible is difficult to justify for some people.
So by sharing the costs with other like-minded people and subscribing to a rotating calendar, you get the best of both worlds. A new boat, with regular use at a fraction of the cost! Using an economical self-management model, similar to some ski lodges, Seawind facilitate the formation of the Syndicate by suggesting usage guidelines, an online calendar time schedule, maintenance program, and finding an easily accessible location for the boat to be kept. Once we get the ball rolling, the owners collectively share the purchase cost of the new boat and its ongoing running expenses which are both very affordable…then its time to go sailing — at a huge discount!

Individual Ownership
Of course there is always the time honored approach of individual ownership—there is no time like the present to sail off into the sunset on YOUR OWN Seawind. We can also refer you to reputable financing agents that have lots of experience with boat sales.
But don’t delay. These boats are complex and construction takes a while. Because there are a limited number of Seawind production slots available for each model and these tend to sell out well ahead of time.
