Why Choose Sunsail
Consistent Fleet Configuration and Impeccable Maintenance
Our uniform fleet configuration enables us to optimize vessel maintenance and enhance customer and owner satisfaction.
By taking this approach, we streamline maintenance procedures, standardize parts, and ensure uniform training for our staff. This delivers reliable, consistent service to owners while granting us a significant competitive edge over companies operating diverse fleets.
Benefits of a standardized fleet
Our technicians receive specialized training on our standardized boat systems, allowing for swift and efficient repairs. This minimizes downtime and maximizes your time on the water.
Consistent fleet configurations empower our customers and owners with the confidence to quickly familiarize themselves with our boats worldwide, accelerating their vacation starts.
How do we compare to other programs?
When comparing yacht ownership options, not all programs are created equal. Sunsail offers real tax advantages, reliable resale value, yacht layouts that work for charter, premium equipment and features, simplified maintenance, guaranteed income regardless of charter activity, owner access & flexibility, location choice, and many more benefits that other companies do not match.
Sunsail
✅ Every yacht is custom-designed and outfitted for chartering. Built in partnership with world-class manufacturers, our fleet is optimized for durability, comfort, and global serviceability.
Other Programs
❌ A yacht coming straight from a factory is not charter ready and requires post-delivery upgrades.

Capt. Gavin Gerondale
Having sailed 40′, 45′, 47′, 50′ Leopard Catamarans a combined 3,500+ NM over the past two and a half years I strongly recommend them for performance oriented cruising. Additional positive experiences have come from owning and operating a 2021 Sunsail 454L based in BVIs now half way through the charter contract. Making use of the owners’ time has afforded amazing sailing internationally. There have been no unpleasant surprises and few concerns.

After several years of sailing our own boat, we decided to subscribe to Sunsail’s charter management program. There are several reasons for this: Sunsail takes care of the maintenance and wintering of the boat, Sunsail’s bases offer good geographical coverage, and the quality of the Leopard catamarans.
What a pleasure to arrive on a boat, ready to go, cleaning done, beds made, towels available, equipment flawless, in short a 4-star service. As soon as we arrived at Tortola’s superb Road Town marina, and after a detailed briefing on navigation and points of interest in the Virgin Islands (including restaurants), all we had to do was make the most of this idyllic location.

Having a boat in the charter fleet has allowed me to vacation like a rock star. I get to take my friends and family to the most beautiful islands in the world and experience them through the intimacy of my own private yacht. It’s all the benefits of owning a private yacht without any of the burdens. Yo ho, yo ho, a Sunsail life for me!
