Here's to the over 2,500 people who we have found a way for them
to own the boat they really wanted!
3 reasons why you don’t own the boat you want now, and how
we can help…
1. Time, there’s never enough.
Time spent
choosing your boat. We are your one stop source for
information from dedicated, experienced people. Our
information web site has over 5,000 pages jam packed
with information to help you sort out the issues when
you are ready to choose your new boat. We have an
amazing array of information dealing with subjects from
Choosing your boat, to howto maintain it, how to set it up as a business
withtax
advantages and much more.
You may even use our Try-Before-You-Buy
program. Charter the boat you’re considering from our affiliate,
Let’s Go Cruising, and we’ll reimburse you for your charter when
you buy. Try one boat or several-ask for information.
Time getting
your new boat right. Our systems engineers help you
put your boat together and then we assign you a project
manager so that you have a single source to get all of
your questions answered.
Time to enjoy
your new boat. We can manage your boat after you own
it. Take care of all service and make ready issues so
that all that remains for you is to enjoy it.
Turn the time
you don’t have to your advantage… At your option,
you can combine this management program with our
Boat-As-A-Business Program…
2.Money, there are so many priorities
a.
BAB. Management, plus Boat-As-A-Business. In this variation
you still get total care for your boat while you enjoy it when
ever you want, but when you’re not using it, we charter it towell qualified clients. The income and tax advantages, in
many cases, offset 70-100% of your cost. We help you every step
of the way, including helping you set up your business and
understand the tax advantages.
b.
Financing. We arrange it at the most competitive rates in
the industry. Unlike many others, we handle everything and
provide an amortization table so that you can know the interest
portion of your payment (in advance) and get your second home or
business deduction monthly to help reduce your cash flow.
c.
Reduce your downpayment. We set up rebates for you sothat these can be applied to your downpayment leaving
your capital free for other investments.
d.
Reducing the cost of ownership. Because we are the largest,
most successful dealer for each of the model lines we carry,
over the long haul, and because we have our own complete,
in-house, service and commissioning department, we can package
the most wanted options and bring them to you at the lowest
possible price. In fact, our bottom line prices are so good,
that we guarantee them.
Or
use our BAB program to reduce your costs. This program makes
your new boat with all of the latest features, less expensive
than a used boat, even less expensive than a time-share or
fractional ownership program.
Packaging or BAB we want to bring cruising to you for less.
This leads to your complete comfort and confidence in your
decision to choose us…
3. Confidence—you need to be confident of your skills, and
have confidence in the peoplethat you choose to work with.
a.Confidence in yourself.
We’ll make you look good!
a.We offer lessons—from beginning to
expert.
b.We offer on-going skills upgrades.
Secrets of docking confidently. Offshore sailing and navigation
(with owner’s cruise rendezvous). Seminars.
c.We offer cruises in company for owners,
including an offshore cruise to New England next summer.
b.Confidence in the
organization you work with
a.36 years of success helping over 2,000
others get into the cruising lifestyle
b.A dedicated service department that
follows up on continuous improvements to your boat, warranty
service and on-going skills improvement programs.
SAFETY. This deserves a category of its own. We put together
all of the safety equipment you need, depending on your cruising
plans. We sell only Category “A” offshore boats. We put the
latest in communication and navigation equipment aboard so you
know where you are and can easily communicate if trouble should
arise. Finally, we will help you enhance your skills so that you
can enjoy your new boat with confidence.

Ask your tax advisor about our Boat-As-A-Business Plan?
Maybe,
maybe not.
Ultimately, it is wise to talk to your tax advisor to
optimize your situation.
However, the decision itself, in the end, is yours. Your tax
advisor is busy and may not fully understand this program.
Right now, (s)he probably doesn't have time to figure it
out.
We've found that about 50% of tax advisors will say no to
the idea without fully understanding why this approach
works. (The other 50% enthusiastically endorse the idea--if
you can't find the right advisor, we can refer you to one.) Keep in mind, we've already helped over 650 people
set their boat up as a business--successfully.
Far from
encouraging an audit, when you follow our guidelines, you
are very unlikely to be audited--however, if you are, as 3
others have been, you will have the tools and knowledge to
get through it simply and easily. Not one of the people who
followed our guidelines lost a single dollar of tax
deduction claimed! We even have a paper with a plan of
action designed to answer your financial advisors questions!
The disadvantages of delaying a decision...
Timing is everything!
If you can get a boat for this spring, that's ideal (ask us
what's available). You can qualify for a full years of tax
advantages and get income to cover cash flow this year.
There are other scenarios that work, including getting a
boat in the fall and having it go directly to the Islands.
Talk to us to better understand how to optimize your
situation. But, if your tax advisor isn't ready to talk
right now--don't delay. Keep moving forward and let him
catch up later. The most important thing is that you get and
understand the information that we can provide. 410-263-2311
