Florida Yacht as a Business

May 12th, 2011

The Congress 2010 ‘

Tax Relief Act’ allows the entire cost of a new yacht to be taken as a tax credit this year— and recover taxes paid in 2010 (up to your maximum tax liability)!

This Section 179 rule includes the 100% Bonus Tax Depreciation Program, that benefits any U.S. taxpayer who is looking to buy a new yacht.

Florida Yacht Group’s team of experts will work with your tax professional to qualify your yacht as a business and legitimately take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Florida Yacht Group is the exclusive dealers for world-class yacht brands and gives you the opportunity to place your new yacht into any one of our charter bases.

Coconut Grove perfect for business

April 8th, 2011

Press Release

Florida Yacht Charters & Sales, a division of Florida Yacht Group,
finds Coconut Grove is the perfect place to do business: “The move to our
current location has been a huge success.” said CEO, David Sell.

 


Coconut Grove,
Florida – March 30, 2011


 

“This location has been the perfect place for us – both from an
ease of access standpoint, and its proximity to great cruising destinations.
Our guests take day charters out on Biscayne Bay, overnights to Key
Biscayne, and weeklong charters to the Keys or the Bimini Island chain.
Being closer to the Keys (we were previously in Miami Beach), means less
time is spent travelling, and more time is spent enjoying,” said Paul Robinson,
General Manager. He went on to say,
“It’s perfect for all our business segments: Charter, Boating Instruction,
Sales, and Service in that we’re in the heart of South Florida’s cruising
grounds, have the protection of Biscayne Bay for boating instruction, are seeing
lots of walk-in business due to the new location, and find there is abundant
marine-oriented labor availability – and being sandwiched in between Monty’s &
Shake-a-Leg means we have excellent visibility.
Additionally, with seven sailboats ranging from 36 to 49 feet, and three
powerboats ranging from 39 to 46 feet, we have something for everyone.”


 


Florida Yacht Group
charters, sells, and services the world’s top brands of sailing yachts, catamarans, and power
boats – and will teach you to handle every one of them.  The Group has
quietly absorbed a number of smaller, independent companies in the last few
years – including Florida Yacht Charters and Sales – which have operated in
Florida’s marine industry since 1983.  The Group has grown considerably and
we now operate out of 10 locations throughout Florida and the Bahamas, with
plans for additional growth.

 


Charters:

Our bareboat
charter fleet operates year-round in Coconut Grove, Key West, and Abaco in the
Bahamas – with plans to expand to additional destinations.  Each location
offers excellent cruising waters, a year round tropical climate, and clear, warm
seas – with hundreds of places to explore.
Separately, if you already own a yacht and want it to start paying for
itself, we may be able to help in that we need additional high quality,
late-model-year vessels in our charter fleet, as we are not able to keep up with
our demand.

 



Sales:

We are
the largest sailboat dealer network in the southeastern United States, and
provide clients with value other dealerships can’t match.  We offer select
premium brands by the world’s leading power and sail manufacturers to include
Beneteau, Jeanneau, and Fountain Pajot.   Whether purchasing a new
boat, used boat – or selling yours – our friendly sales staff and experienced
brokers can provide you with the best advice, guidance, and support.

 


Boating Instruction:

 FYG offers
several sailing certification courses as an affiliate of the American Sailing
Association – as well as private power boat instruction.   We have private,
semi-private, and group lessons, and you can get certified to bareboat charter
anywhere in the world.  Boating is fun, exciting, and you’ll be that much
more confident knowing you received our professional instruction.



Service:

We are very
proud of our team and are one of the few dealerships to have in-house staff.
Our objective is to provide excellent
service after the sale, and our
Palm Beach service team was recently
awarded the Top Gun Service designation by Beneteau Yachts for having the
highest service ratings of all Beneteau Dealerships Worldwide.  Our Miami
staff has also received tremendous praise and accolades from our clients.
