The TMM Management program is simple and straightforward financially. TMM keeps your yacht busy chartering when you aren't using it. TMM earns its revenues 2 ways - booking charters on owner's yachts and maintaining the fleet.

  • Charter Revenues Charter revenues are split 75% to the owner and 25% to the TMM reservations office, outside charter brokers and travel agents.
  • Yacht Operating Expenses Each yacht is billed monthly for dockage, charter preparations, maintenance, and repairs. Yachts are billed periodically for costs such as insurance, replacement of linens, and other general expenses.
  • Reporting and Payments The yacht owner receives a statement each month detailing the revenue generated on their yacht, and the operating expenses. The owner receives a check for the amount of revenue in excess of costs.
  • Maintenance Records Along with the monthly reporting of income and expenses is detail of maintenance repair performed on your yacht.

Tax Benefits
We are not tax advisors. However, we do know that investment in a charter yacht may qualify as a second home - making the interest on a mortgage deductible. And depending on how your investment is handled, it may allow you to qualify for other tax benefits. We encourage you to consult with legal, accounting, and tax professionals before you enter into an investment in a charter yacht.

The TMM Yacht Ownership Program
TMM Yacht Charters has been managing yachts for private owners in the BVI since 1979. The TMM philosophy has always been to focus on personal service - providing top quality charters to our charter clients, and provide charter management services to our yacht owners at a fair rate. For this reason, TMM has come to be known as the quality yacht Management Company in the islands. This is reflected by our repeat customers, satisfied owners, and by the readers of Cruising World Magazine, that rated TMM the best company in the BVI.

Purchasing Your New Yacht through TMM
TMM knows that every yacht owner has different priorities and different reasons for owning a yacht, which is why TMM is so flexible about the types of yachts we accept in our fleet and the optional equipment our owners call for. TMM does not set the strict set of rules that every boat should be exactly the same, like some of the larger charter companies. Through years of experience, TMM knows what types of yachts, equipped appropriately for charter, will serve the owners needs and meet the owners revenue expectations.

TMM has established relationships with the world's premier shipyards, including Jeanneau, Beneteau, Lagoon, and Fountaine-Pajot. As the yacht owner you are invited to take part in the design process of your boat - TMM will work with you and the manufacturer to guide you to the best choices for durability, convenience, easy maintenance, desirability as a charter yacht, and revenue generating capacity.

Compare others with TMM
Compare a TMM yacht with a standard charter company boat, you will see the difference. TMM installs heavy duty equipment and gear that add lasting value, ease of maintenance, plus owner and customer satisfaction. Sea Frost Engine Driven Refrigeration, Custom Heavy-Duty Cockpit Biminis, Upgraded Mechanical and Plumbing Systems, Full Electronics, and a Rigid Bottom Inflatable Dinghy are just a few examples of equipment that are standard on TMM Yachts.

Luxury Line Yachts
Luxury Line Yachts from TMM, including the Jeanneau Sun-Odyssey 52.2, Beneteau 50, Jeanneau Sun-Odyssey 43DS (Deck Saloon), Lagoon 470 Catamaran, and Fountaine-Pajot Bahia 46 Catamaran all include Generator and Air Conditioning as standard equipment.

Your Yacht is a Substantial Investment
TMM is your partner in the successful operation of your yacht as a business. The TMM Management Program is a traditional management program, easy to understand and manage.

While owner participation is welcome, it is not required. TMM handles all aspects of operating a yacht as a business, from marketing, to hands on management, to monthly reporting - ownership through TMM is completely hassle-free. TMM yacht owners spend their time enjoying their yacht when they are in the islands, and the revenues generated from charter activity when they are at home.

TMM has established relationships with professionals including CPA's, tax advisors, marine lenders, and the leading insurance companies to be sure that you are always receiving the best advice and making the most of your investment.

Fleet Placement Availability
TMM's fleet is made up of monohull sailing yachts from 36 to 50 feet, catamarans from 35 to 47 feet, and Trawler Motor Yachts.

TMM's fleets are limited to 40 yachts at each base. The numbers of yachts in each class and size category are further limited, to ensure the best fleet occupancy. By limiting the size of the fleet and number of like yachts, yacht owners are ensured of good charter occupancy and revenues.
