Charter Ownership / Bareboat Programs
Bareboat Charter Programs · 38–50 ft

A new Lagoon that works while you're home.

Place a new Lagoon or Nautitech with a proven bareboat operator. They handle guests, guardianage, maintenance and owner accounting, and charter revenue offsets a substantial share of ownership costs.

How bareboat management works

Your operator runs the base. You own the boat.

Charter base

The boat operates from your partner's base, chartered by qualified guests who skipper themselves.

Care & maintenance

Guardianage, turnarounds, scheduled maintenance and haul-outs by the operator's team.

Bookings & marketing

Global marketing, booking office and repeat-client programs fill the calendar.

Owner accounting

Statements, revenue share and expense reporting, plus scheduled owner weeks aboard.

Pro forma explorer

Same partners, two ways to own

Enjoy the management, or run it as a business.

Every TMC partner program can be owned either way. The difference is how much you sail her yourself and whether you want the tax advantages, and the rules that come with them.

Charter Management

Management, income and lots of time aboard

  • Your operator handles maintenance, guardianage, bookings and accounting
  • Charter income offsets dockage, insurance and upkeep
  • Owner time agreed with your operator, with no IRS business-use limit
  • No participation hours, logs or US-waters planning

Tax advantages: not structured for them.

Boat as a Business

The same program, run as your business

  • Everything in Charter Management, plus
  • 500 documented hours a year as an active owner
  • Personal use under 50%, comfortably 35–40%
  • US-waters timing in the year you claim depreciation

Tax advantages: potential 100% bonus depreciation. See how it works →

Dream Yacht · Navigare ownership programs
