Yachting Partners International (YPI) Exclusive - Calling All Yacht Owners to Monaco

    MONACO, September 14, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- YPI will, as always, be present at this year's Monaco Yacht Show and would like to invite attending yacht owners to discuss their situation so that they may more fully understand their yacht owners' needs and ambitions.

"Chartering out your super yacht not only helps generate return on your initial investment but also helps with maintenance, berthing and crew costs. A healthy looking yacht charter history is also an added asset should owners ever choose to sell" says YPI Head of Charter, Fiona Maureso..

"Having the right support and expertise onside in this endeavour is vital, as there are a number of issues and legal pitfalls to avoid in order for this to work effectively. It is in this area that we wish to inform our yacht owners more fully and, in turn, gain from them an understanding of what they'd like to achieve."

YPI firmly believes that to make a luxury yacht charter visible on the market, maximising its charter potential through effective marketing is key. Place a yacht in the hands of a capable yacht management company such as YPI and it will be able to utilise a whole host of marketing tools such as well positioned websites, brochures and mail-outs in order to boost the yacht's visibility to potential charterers.

A YPI broker managing a super yacht for charter will have a plethora of contacts and listings at their disposal and will show a willingness to go that extra mile to secure a booking.

Once chartered a yacht must ensure it is up to date on all legally required documentation and safety checks. Issues arise if a yacht doesn't meet certain safety standards or have the correct paperwork to make it seaworthy. With regulations changing from country to country, the YPI Charter team will frequently work with the specialists in YPI Yacht Management to ensure all paperwork is in order prior to sailing.

For owners prepared to offer their yachts for charter for the first time or for those considering changing their yacht charter company YPI will be present in Monaco to answer all their questions.
