The Caribbean Yacht Charter Business can be a lot of fun and also rather lucrative... A very similar Formosa yacht called the PRIMA DONNA is currently chartering here in the Caribbean and is accepting $13,680 US per week for groups of eight clients. I would call that fairly reasonable considering the investment and the responsibilities of the owner in this fine yacht but I would also call it rather lucrative as a business. You can purchase this fine blue water cruising yacht presented here and do exactly the same thing! There is nothing preventing you from making money! It would certainly not take long to pay for this beautiful yacht and you could fully enjoy your life along the way. She has now been fully refitted, completely equipped and she is ready to go to sea.

Now getting back to the FREE CRUISE idea... I said that you could purchase this fine blue water cruising yacht and sail her down to New Zealand or Australia where they know the true value of quality built yachts like this one. Sell her down there for at least one-third more than what you paid for her up here and ~ voila ~ a free cruise and you will probably make yourself some extra money! That is not simply some dream and here is a quick link to another fine Formosa yacht for sale in that part of the world. At this link we have GALATEA priced at $871,000 US dollars.

Just to sum things up... This absolutely precious Princess of the Sea is now on the market and available. If you are truly serious about blue water cruising in safety and elegance than this is indeed your yacht. This yacht is currently active in the Caribbean Charter business and you could keep her working if you so desired. On the other hand she is an absolutely perfect family yacht which you and your family would be proud to own. She has just completed an extensive two year refit and she is pristine. Her Ford Lehman 225 horsepower Turbo Diesel engine has been rebuilt. Her bottom has been stripped, barrier coated and painted with multiple coats of premier antifouling bottom paint. Her owner is about to retire which makes this treasure of a yacht available. Since the owner will be retiring he has placed a price on her which is below her market value which could mean your lucky break. She is ready to cruise! Contact me to make arrangements for your inspection.
