Acquisition Cost & Operating Expenses
Acquisition Cost of Yacht: $15,575,000.00
Operating Costs: Our detailed breakdown includes crew, management, insurance, dockage, fuel, maintenance, and administration. These are itemized annually and then broken down per share, providing a clear understanding of your ongoing investment. Fuel costs are one of the largest recurring expenses, directly influenced by usage schedules and fishing trip intensity.
Capital Expenses & Exit Strategy
Capital Expenses: Covering interiors, exteriors, engineering, and equipment replacement, these reserves are essential for maintaining long-term asset value. We budget for major engineering rebuilds (engines, generators, exhaust) to ensure long-term sustainability and resale value.
Exit Strategy: Our model includes a resale assumption ($3,000,000.00 per share), which is critical for forecasting the net cost of ownership. This conservative estimate accounts for market depreciation.
Key Takeaways & Potential Refinements
Our crew costs are comprehensive, with 11 members ensuring 24/7 oversight. We've smartly included stabilizers, safety systems, and bottom paint in maintenance, often underestimated in other models. Our $3M per share resale deduction is conservative; depending on market appreciation for Viking sportfish yachts, we may want to model a range (best-case, base, worst-case).
Remember, with THE-FRACTIONAL-YACHTS-PROGRAM, you get clear, structured per-share costs.
