Financial or Operational Leasing – Which Is Better When Buying a Yacht for Charter Management?

Buying a yacht for charter management is a big step, both financially and emotionally. Owners often wonder not only about the profitability of their investment but also about the condition of the yacht after several charter seasons. A common question is: Which leasing model to choose – financial or operational?

Financial Leasing

With financial leasing, the owner pays monthly installments, and after the contract ends, the yacht becomes fully theirs.

  • long-term ownership
  • stable payment plan
  • ideal for charter management

Operational Leasing

With operational leasing, the yacht is used for a set number of years, after which it is returned to the leasing company or replaced with a newer model.

  • lower monthly installments
  • flexibility after the contract
  • possibility of constantly renewing the fleet
