Industry experts will explain the ins and outs of charter boat ownership programs for both Sydney Harbour and the Whitsundays at a live seminar at 2pm on Saturday the 27th of April at the Pittwater Sail Expo.

Presented by Brent Vaughan of Multihull Central, Sharon McNally of Cumberland Yacht Charters and John Eldick of Sumplus mortgage brokers, the seminar aims to both unpack the key considerations for charter boat ownership programs from survey requirements, expected financial returns and how to best approach financing a boat.

Brent Vaughan, author of the book 'Seabbaticals", has spent 20 years placing new charter boats for customers into fleets around Australia and currently has a charter boat operating on Sydney harbour. Brent will be explaining the importance having your boat survey approved before operating along with providing financial details of the Sydney Harbour charter market.

Sharon McNally is the General Manager of Cumberland Charter Yachts, one of the most prominent charter fleet operators in the Whitsundays with a large fleet of boats and seeking new boat investors. Sharon will explain how charter boats operate in the Whitsundays and why owners continue to invest with financial details also provided.

John Eldick of Sumplus mortgage brokers has assisted several boat owners in the last 12 months navigate a difficult financial market but has successfully helped secure competitive finance for new charter boat buyers.

Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions or arrange more detailed discussions following the presentation.

The free seminar will be hosted at 2pm on Saturday 27th April, upstairs in the Royal Prince Alfred yacht club, 16 Mitala Street, Newport.
