SOUTHWEST FLORIDA YACHTS SEEKS POWER AND SAIL VESSELS FOR CHARTER PROGRAM
“Entry Fee” Waived for 2015
Cape Coral, Florida (January 23, 2015) – Southwest Florida Yachts is seeking late-model, dieselpowered sail and power vessels in the 30-to-50-foot range for its charter program.
“For those wanting to place a boat in the fleet we are waiving the entry fee, which ranges from
$500 to $1,500 depending on the vessel,” said Southwest Florida Yachts Co-Owner Barb Hansen.
“Popular diesel-powered vessels already in our program include Grand Banks, Mainship, Carver,
Sea Ray Krogen plus Hunter, Catalina and Island Packet sailboats. We also have a real need for
sailing catamarans from approximately 35- to 45-feet.
“Of course, the potential charter addition must meet our needs and be well-maintained,” said
Hansen. “Our charter yacht management program is much like a condominium rental
management program,” said Hansen. “Most of our vessel owners use their charter revenue to
maintain and upgrade their yachts, expenses they would have anyway plus assistance in
offsetting the costs of dockage and insurance.” Hansen also noted her company has a yacht
brokerage with yachts available for charter fleet placement or private purchase.
The Southwest Florida Yachts Charter Fleet is based at the Westin Resort Marina here in one of
the most beautiful cruising areas in the U.S., featuring the barrier islands of Sanibel, Captiva,
Cayo Costa, Gasparilla, Cabbage Key or more distant destinations.
