Why own a yacht in a Tahiti? This is certainly a fair question to ask. But what you should be asking yourself is, "Why not own a yacht in Tahiti?". If you are reading this blog post than it is highly probable that you have gone on a charter vacation before and the whole time you wondered why would I ever want to plan a land-based vacation again. It is the itch that scratches many of us sailors and boaters. 

  If you were the owner of your perfect yacht and you lost her to a natural disaster, what would you do? If you are Jeff and Adrienne Cone, you accept what is, pick yourselves up and find a more perfect yacht. The Cones, previously owners of a Moorings 4800, are now the proud owners of a Moorings 4500, and they are sharing their ownership story with us.

If you are considering financing a boat through our Yacht Ownership Program, then you probably have  plenty of questions, especially if this is your first time purchasing a yacht. The Moorings has been in the business for almost 50 years and we are proud to say that we invented Charter Yacht Ownership. So it goes without saying that we know the business in and out. In addition to our 50 years of expertise, we have partners in the finance industry that we have worked with for decades who understand the way our business works. To get a bit of an understanding of how you can finance a yacht in through an ownership program we encourage your to keep reading.*

After five years of sailing in some of the world’s most beautiful cruising grounds, there comes a time in every Charter Yacht Owner‘s life when they will have to make the decision of what comes next. Goodbyes are always hard, but depending on what lies ahead, it may not be "goodbye", it may be a "see you soon".

We are pleased to announce that The Moorings (along with Leopard Catamarans) has built and sold over 100 Moorings 514PCs.

Monohull sailing yachts are an absolute beauty to look at. When you are heeling along through the islands of the Caribbean and you feel the spray of the ocean splash across your sun-glowing skin, and then you put in a quick and seamless tack on a boat that responds quickly at the helm, there is nothing else like it in the world.

When you know you’ve got something good, you hold onto it. Unless, of course, you can trade it for something bigger and better…..

We just got back from a spectacular sailing excursion aboard a Moorings Yacht in paradise, and it would be just plain wrong to not dish out all of the details for your enjoyment!

Yacht chartering—once you have experienced it you know that there is no other vacation that compares to it. Island hopping your way wherever the wind might take you, swaying to the sounds of the palm trees blowing as you sip a dark n’ stormy, discovering unchartered anchorages, paddle boarding to a remote cave for a quick snorkel, the list goes on. 

There comes a time in every Moorings Yacht Owner‘s life when they will have to make the decision of what comes after their time in the Moorings Charter Fleet is over. Owners may decide to bring their yacht home, or go cruising around the world. They may choose to trade in their boat and purchase another yacht to re-enter The Moorings Yacht Ownership Program, and some owners may decide to sell their boat. Alternatively, The Moorings, unlike any other charter company, has the Footloose Charter Fleet. This fleet is composed of former Moorings yachts, and many owners enjoy extended yacht ownership in this program.
