For many first-time yacht buyers, the dream of owning a yacht comes with a lot of questions: How much time will it take? What about maintenance costs? Charter logistics? Ongoing management? These uncertainties stop many potential owners before they ever leave the dock. The Sunsail Yacht Ownership Programme is designed to change that. In 2026, […]

Welcome to the British Virgin Islands, one of the world’s ultimate sailing hubs and home to the largest charter base on the planet: The Moorings and Sunsail. After a five-year break, the much-anticipated Moorings and Sunsail Owner Flotilla has finally made its return. This exciting event brought together 70 owners, both new and experienced, for […]

We’ve just bought our second Sunsail boat, well, actually my third and Garry’s second. This time another friend has joined us in our sailing investment too which makes it a three-way ownership split. Our new boat is a Sunsail 46, located in Croatia as part of the Option to Purchase programme.

Each year, we are preparing a special event for our owners to enable them to meet and share a nice and unforgettable experience : the Owners Flotilla!  This is a unique moment to enjoy sailing and exchange with other owners within our yacht management program as well as with their Owner Care Team. The concept is simple : each owner books a yacht for one week, for a destination and dates chosen in advance by our Owner Care Team, up to a maximum of 12 boats. The sailing itinerary has been specially set up for our owners - and thus different from a standard flotilla - by our skilled base team. The owners will have the company of a lead boat, on which will be their Owner care Team as well as an experienced skipper, a technician and a hostess, all dedicated to them for the whole week ! Each morning, the boat captains receive a briefing of the day, indicating the meeting place for the end of day but everyone is free to sail  at their own rythm. In the evenings, all the boats are moored together in the same place and owners are free to  join the group meal if they wish. During this week of charter, special activities are proposed (visit to particular local places, punch party, cocktail and poem competition, dinghy race, farewell party with gifts, etc.) The aim is to have everyone meet together, enjoy sailing, discover particular sailing areas, experience boat group meetings, find unexpected friendships and hopefully wish to join the next Owners Flotilla !

Owning a yacht in St Lucia and still being able to sail other yachts all over the world is a pretty special combination. That’s exactly what Frank and Katie, owners of the Sunsail 444 “TomKat”, have enjoyed since joining the Sunsail Yacht Ownership Programme in 2014. Based in St Lucia, they’ve spent time exploring much […]

You can’t help but learn something new every time you meet a Sunsail Yacht Owner. At this year’s Strictly Sail Miami, we had the chance to speak with several owners who kindly took the time to chat as their journey with the Sunsail Yacht Ownership Programme draws to a close.
