Can you tell us a few words about the activity of The Moorings brand, specialized in boat trips?
Founded in 1969, The Moorings is one of the world’s leading yacht charter companies. Today we have almost 800 employees with our sister company Sunsail and more than 700 boats available from the most beautiful destinations.
Pioneers in the sector, we have also created a boat rental management program that has already conquered more than 5,000 owners. In fact, each ship in our fleet is sold to a private owner who benefits from many advantages, including several weeks of sailing around the world at a lower cost.
As for nautical tourism, what does The Moorings offer its clients?
We currently offer cruises from many bases including the Mediterranean (Italy, Greece, Croatia), the Caribbean (Virgin Islands, Saint Lucia, Saint Martin, Bahamas, Antigua, Martinique, Belize) and more exotic destinations such as Seychelles, French Polynesia. or even Thailand.
We offer sailing monohulls, sailing catamarans and motor catamarans from 2 to 6 double cabins. Rentals can be with or without skipper. We even offer all-inclusive crewed cruises that include skipper, hostess, food and beverages. Our clients come above all to seek experience and real know-how in the field of nautical tourism. We are recognized as the premium brand in the boat rental market both for the quality of our services and that of our fleet.
Boat rentals and recreational sailing are increasingly popular today, especially after the arrival of the health crisis.
In fact, we realized after the health crisis that many people were now turning to yachting. This practice has gained notoriety, in particular because it allows vacationers to discover new places away from the crowds, while being surrounded by nature.
Boat sales are also going well. Our rental management program has been around since 1971 and has never been more popular. Only in the European market we exceed 23 million euros in turnover in 2022; and 2023 should be even better.
What are the benefits of The Moorings Management Program?
This system allows owners to own a boat, obtain a guaranteed rental return avoiding the usual limitations: no additional costs, no mooring to pay or maintenance to perform. The Moorings takes care of everything.
The mooring management program allows our owners to navigate the most beautiful regions of the world for 5 to 6 seasons. Each owner can use his boat or any equivalent boat in our fleet, departing from the basis of his choice, up to 12 weeks a year. But this is above all economically interesting, because we pay guaranteed rental income that amortizes a large part of the cost of the boat.
This boat rental management program is interesting for people who sail at least two or three weeks a year, but do not have the time or desire to own a boat in full ownership.
