Placing a yacht into a desired fleet in order to recoup the costs of ownership

Most of us dream about owning a private yacht. Many even manage to change or upgrade their lifestyles, actually living aboard throughout the year. Amongst those who are working every day, some even manage to make good use of their purchase, as only a few can afford to let them sitting idle in the port. Finding the time to sail may also be a problem even when financing issues are not overwhelming. This is where an option to charter manage your yacht comes in, as it makes sense to use such an expensive purchase more than a couple of weeks a year.

We can arrange for your boat to enter into one of a number of CHARTER MANAGEMENT or YACHT OWNERSHIP programmes, some of which are comparable. They mostly include bareboat charter yachts from 34-64ft or skippered and crewed yachts from 40-62ft. We can also arrange charter management of luxury yachts and for this we recommend our Central Agency services. In terms of bareboat or skippered yachts, we can arrange a suitable programme in most major sailing destinations, including many tropical or exotic locations. If you wish to own a boat, without the major worry of huge maintenance expenses and variety of challenges that come with fully private ownership, please do enquire with us about charter management options available. Where possible, you can also discuss approved financing with us and choose from guaranteed monthly payments or performance based income.

In most cases, tax benefits may be achieved by managing the yacht through such a programme and in some cases, the initial outlay can be a much smaller sum, rather than the full cost of the boat. We at A2AYACHTING ™ are well placed to offer an independent advice and assist you in finding the best solution for your own specific requirements which can include an exit strategy for maximum resale value of your yacht. At least 10 different brands can be considered when buying a yacht into charter management programme and all of them, including range of sizes, are best value in one sailing destination, but may be wrong choice in another one. Unless you are set on a specific model, we can advise which one is going to be providing best returns or just lowest cost of ownership. This can also include some motor yachts or power catamarans, thus whether you are in the market for a sail, power or luxury yacht, we can work with you to get to the best possible outcome.

A2AYACHTING ™ will occasionally publish more information on available programmes, but for now our recommendations will be provided on request only. To get a suggestion, recommendation or just an advice on what boat to buy or where to place her under a charter management or yacht ownership programme, do get in touch at your leisure by sending email at sales @a2ayachting.net or calling one of our numbers.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
