At Fraser Island Rent-A-Yacht we can offer you the exciting opportunity to invest in one of Queensland's most progressive charter companies. Our operation covers Hervey Bay and Tin Can Bay in safe, protected waters between Heritage Listed Fraser Island and the mainland. Our charter area is truly unique offering a delightful mix of open bay, sandy channels and extensive waterway systems. The region is not over developed and there are very comfortable anchorages that are far from the crowds that many charter grounds experience. Our stock of bird life, sea life and natural habitat has to be seen to be fully realised. The Fraser Coast is an exceptional boating destination.

As we are only three hours drive from Brisbane we easily service the major population of South East Queensland. The daily jet flights into Hervey Bay provides easy access for all the major cities on the east coast of Australia.

Our fleet is used for sail training, skippered charters, bareboat charters as well as corporate sailing challenges. This provides an excellent opportunity for the boat owner, as their vessel is part of a professional fleet that operates all year around.

The ATO has recently handed down new rulings on boat ownership and the charter industry, so there are now clearly defined charter models available to interested investors.

Fraser Island Rent-A-Yacht operates a totally unique business in this region with excellent quality vessels, motivated staff, and a professional service team. We also have specialist sailing instructors for our Sailing Academy.

SUITABLE VESSELS:
The nature of the Great Sandy Strait region is quite shallow, consisting of natural channels between islands and sand bars with sandy bottomed waterways. All vessels really need to be shallow draft and experience has shown us that the area is particularly suitable for both catamaran and hydrofield styled hulls, as they are both very stable should they run aground.

OUTSTANDING INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY:
We believe that the "Highlander" power catamaran above presents an excellent opportunity for investors seeking entry to this exciting industry. The vessel is due to arrive in November and is priced at $489,000. We are actively seeking interested parties to acquire this catamaran as we have a definite position in our fleet. Further details are on the Fountaine Pajot web site.

The cycle of chartered yacht ownership is often approximately five years after which many owners take their often fully owned vessel from the fleet to enjoy privately. So at given intervals we have a rotation of boats and new opportunities for investors.

We currently have several vessels that have been excellent charter performers leaving the fleet and need to replace them with new vessels. We can illustrate the typical monthly charter return.

This is a truly unique opportunity as we have expanded our operation into Hervey Bay in order to satisfy the growing marketplace that is developing as a direct response to the daily jet services to our region.

Fraser Island Rent-A-Yacht has also developed strategic relationships with the major accommodation resorts in the area and our expanded travel network is evolving with the new tourism thrust into New Zealand and other lucrative inbound markets.

INDIVIDUAL OR SYNDICATED OWNERSHIP:
We have identified an excellent sailing catamaran that is perfect for our region and that has the attributes suitable for all our yachting activities within our operation. While individual ownership may be prohibitive we are considering forming a syndicate to encourage the purchase of several of these exceptional vessels.

We are able to offer limited places within our fleet for both motor sailors and power cruisers. For some further reading please consider checking out the Finlease Charter Boat web site.
