VAT Complications, Concerns Continue to Emerge Across Europe

Rumblings of economic concern continue to emerge from Greece, Italy, and Spain, where charter yachts continue to be seized on tax-evasion charges and VAT rates continue to fluctuate.

The 207-foot motoryacht Force Blue, which Italian authorities seized in May on tax-evasion charges, was released June 21 on a €5 million security deposit so that it could perform the charters it has scheduled for the current summer season. The tax-evasion charges against the owner remain, however, and multiple sources say Force Blue will be required to return to Genoa at the end of the summer charter season for a final judgment.

Just four days before Force Blue was released in Italy, Spanish tax officials boarded some 30 yachts in Puerto Portals and Port Adriano as part of an investigation into €30 million of unpaid VAT and matriculation taxes. Only one charter yacht, the 82-foot Elegance motoryacht Vogue, is believed to have been part of the sweep. The continuing investigation reportedly includes not just yachts themselves, but also businesses related to the buying and selling of yachts in Spain. A local newspaper in Mallorca reported that further inspections of additional yachts are expected.

Also that same week in June, Greek authorities announced that the VAT on some charters in Greece will rise from 10 percent to 11 percent, and some from 4.5 or 5 percent to 5.5 percent, beginning with all charters that end after July 1. The new increases follow a VAT increase that was announced less than four months ago, in March, as part of a $6.5 billion government plan to get Greece’s fiscal deficits under control.

At least one charter company is attempting to capitalize on the continuing developments. On June 17, Ocean Partners International sent an e-mail blast urging clients to “escape all the uncertainty of VAT in the West Med and charter in Turkey” instead.

Discount Offers Abound in Western Mediterranean and Beyond

Yacht owners seeking to increase the rate of charter bookings this summer continue to offer deals and discounts, including aboard large motoryachts in the Western Mediterranean during the prime cruising months of July and August. The offers span virtually all major charter management companies, and all sizes and styles of yachts.

Examples of newly announced discounts in the Western Mediterranean include the 154-foot Amtec motoryacht Out (shown in the photograph above), part of the Edmiston and Company fleet, which dropped its weekly base rates by 15 percent and eliminated all delivery fees; the 130-foot Christensen motoryacht Lady Zelda, part of the Northrop and Johnson fleet, which dropped its weekly base rate by 25 percent for all two-week charters this summer; and the 192-foot Lurssen motoryacht Capri, part of the International Yacht Register fleet, which dropped its weekly base rate by nearly 50 percent for charters in late June and early July.

Beyond the Western Mediterranean, newly announced discounts include 20 percent off the 67-foot Sorana, part of the Blue Latitude Yachting fleet, in the Grenadines; eight days for the price of seven aboard the 62-foot sailing yacht Anahita, part of the Nicholson Yachts fleet, in the Eastern Mediterranean; and 10 percent off the 154-foot Delta motoryacht Mr. Terrible, part of the Northrop and Johnson fleet, in New England.

Broker Report: 2010 Newport Charter Yacht Show

Maggie Vale, a charter broker with Rikki Davis Worldwide Yacht Charters at Churchill Yacht Partners, attended June’s industry-only charter yacht show in Newport, Rhode Island, where her office is based.

She reports high-quality motor and sailing yachts, eager-to-please crew, and what may be a trend toward charter bookings of less than one week this summer in the New England cruising grounds.

Our exclusive interview with Vale is here.

Fire Destroys 68-foot Azimut Motoryacht Sea Wise in Greece

On June 25, management company Ocean Independence released dramatic photographs of the 68-foot Azimut motoryacht Sea Wise being engulfed in flames and smoke before sinking into the waters off the coast of Greece.

No cause for the fire was stated, and no injuries were reported.

Sea Wise was a 2001 build that joined the Ocean Independence charter fleet in April.

Rodriguez Group CEO Resigns on Accusations of Money Laundering

Alexandre Rodriguez resigned as CEO the Rodriguez Group in June following his detention by European authorities on accusations of money laundering and slot machine trafficking.

Gerard Rodriguez, the founder of the company, has taken over as chairman. Rodriguez Group requested a temporary suspension of stock trading on June 8 because of the negative publicity.

Rodriguez is the parent company of Camper and Nicholsons International, which controls the largest fleet of crewed charter yachts in the world. Authorities have not implicated CNI in any of the charges to date.

Sunseeker Charters Voted Best in Business

British-based Sunseeker Charters took top honors in June at the Quintessentially Awards, which are decided by members of the luxury lifestyle group Quintessentially in 52 countries.

Sunseeker won the category "Yacht Charter of the Year." Other contenders were Burgess Yachts, Camper and Nicholsons International, Edmiston and Company, and YCO Yacht.

“We are absolutely delighted and flattered to have been credited with this prestigious award, especially in face of such stern competition," said David Ward, director of Sunseeker Charters. "It is testament to the outstanding dedication and diligence of our team that Quintessentially members have recognized Sunseeker Charters as offering the best in luxury yacht charter. We look forward to maintaining and extending our position at the head of this exclusive market.”

Edmiston and Company Launches New Website

Edmiston and Company launched a new website the last week of June. It includes a new yacht charter section that allows searches by yacht size, style, price, number of guests, and builder.

The new site also offers users the chance to save searches of their choice, and to compare selected charter yachts in easy-to-use list formats. The site’s new destination section provides local time and temperature, as well as annual average temperatures, for any charter location that the user selects.

‘Chopped’ Winner Joins Pacific Northwest Charter Yacht Crew

CEO Expeditions announced in June that Chef Joseph Bayley, winner of the Food Network television competition “Chopped,” has joined the 120-foot motoryacht Kayana as chef for the remainder of the summer 2010 charter season in the Pacific Northwest.

“We are delighted that Joe can join us this season,” CEO Expeditions owner Bruce Milne said in a press release. “He is an award-winning chef whose skills have taken him around the world. He joins us from Ni Neu in Sabastian, Spain, a Michelin-starred Basque restaurant. Our guests will be in for a real treat.”

Sunreef Welcomes Largest Sailing Catamaran to its Charter Fleet

In June, Sunreef Yachts launched the 102-foot sailing catamaran Ipharra, its largest to date and now the flagship of the company’s charter fleet.

Ipharra is expected to complete sea trials before heading to the Eastern Mediterranean, where she is scheduled to become available for charter beginning August 21. The lowest weekly base rate being advertised is €55,000 for 12 guests.

Sunreef also recently opened its first U.S.-based office, in Fort Lauderdale, and joined the Florida Yacht Brokers Association.

SmartMoney Article Misleads Readers about Yacht Charter

An article in the June edition of SmartMoney, the magazine of The Wall Street Journal, paints a disappointing picture of charter yachts as mini-cruise ships where guests book by the cabin and get stuck cruising in tight quarters with people they dislike.

“Author Kristen Bellstrom not only fails to interview a single person involved in the actual crewed yacht charter industry, but also does a thorough job of proving that she doesn't even know the difference between a mini-cruise ship and a charter yacht,” CharterWave editor Kim Kavin wrote in this review of the article. “She falls into lockstep with the clever lingo of companies that use phrases like ‘yacht-style’ in their marketing materials, all the while simply moving the cruise-ship business model of by-the-cabin bookings onto smaller ships to make them seem more personalized.”

Best of the CharterWave Daily Editor’s Blog

Gulf Oil Spill and Cruise Ships: A Common Bond. This morning, The Atlantic posted an article how the cruise ship industry has vociferously fought any attempts by Congress to change the 90-year-old Death on the High Seas Act. That law limits the liability payments that corporations face when someone dies aboard an ocean-going vessel. It wasn't until I read today's article that I realized British Petroleum will likely be protected by this same law for anyone who dies from injuries suffered aboard an ocean-going vessel during the continuing crisis in the Gulf of Mexico--including the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that exploded… Read More…

Three Brokers Say

While the Côte d’Azur and Caribbean are the world’s most popular yacht charter locations, there are also excellent charter yacht options in farther-afield locations such as Fiji, Antarctica, Malta, and Indonesia.

For the July edition of Three Brokers Say, we get the scoop on favorite “off the beaten course” options from broker Missy Johnston of Northrop and Johnson Worldwide Yacht Charters, Liz Howard of Fraser Yachts Worldwide, and Sandy Carney representing Nicholson Yachts.

Motoryacht of the Month: African Cat

This photograph of the mosaic tile in the master bathroom speaks volumes about the 130-foot Mangusta motoryacht African Cat, which lives up to her wild moniker with alligator-skin accents in the main salon, mirrored ceilings above some of the beds, and entire guest cabins decorated in ultra black or lipstick red.

Interestingly, and perhaps contrary to the yacht’s décor, the owners of African Cat are seeking charter parties of families with children, or adult couples who want to relax. “The owners don’t like parties onboard,” according to one crew member.

Our exclusive review of African Cat (yes, with more photos) is posted here.

Sailing Yacht of the Month: Montigne

The 187-foot Montigne is perhaps the only sailing yacht available for charter with enormous, green dragons encircling its stern. The yacht, built in the style of a Chinese, three-masted schooner, also boasts a stunning 6-foot-long model of a dragon-head yacht in the main salon. Yet another interesting feature—one very popular right now in Asia—is the dancing light ring that encircles the ceiling above beds in the master and VIP cabins.

Read more about this interesting sailing yacht in our exclusive First Impression review.

Captain of the Month: Victor Martin

As captain of the 82-foot Sunseeker motoryacht Lady Zehava, Victor Martin likes to move. His hope is to entice charter clients who want to make best use of the yacht’s 30-knot capabilities, moving quickly from port to port around the Western Mediterranean.

“We want charters of every kind,” he says. “Families, adults, parties—we do not care. We want them all.”

Learn more in our newly posted, exclusive interview.

Chef of the Month: Peter Göppel

Chef Peter Göppel is serious about his soups and sauces, specialties that left CharterWave editor Kim Kavin highly satisfied during a seven-course dinner aboard the 114-foot motoryacht 5 Fishes.

“His mango coconut soup with parmesan and pine nut chips is one of the most refreshing, delicious soups I’ve ever tasted,” she reports, “and if it weren’t rude, I would have licked the plate clean to enjoy every last morsel of the poached veal filet in truffle sauce.”

Learn more about Göppel’s specialties, his background, and why he prefers charter clients who are not vegetarians in our exclusive interview.

Broker of the Month: Patty Wilson

Patty Wilson spent four years behind the scenes as a charter yacht manager with The Sacks Group Yachting Professionals before joining International Yacht Charter Group as a retail charter broker.

She is one of the few brokers who books crewed yachts of all sizes and styles, including “entry-level” sailing catamarans with crew in the Virgin Islands. “Those kinds of boats, the sailing cats, are my personal favorites,” she says. “They’re just so much fun.”
