Own the yacht. Put it to work.

With Windward SeaVenture, a yacht you buy through Little Yacht Sales can be managed, prepared for charter and cared for on your behalf — from purchase to personal care, under one roof.

A partnership

Buy with LYS, manage with Windward SeaVenture.

We've partnered with Windward SeaVenture, a yacht management and concierge company, so the whole of ownership — the purchase, and everything after it — has one trusted path.

Whether you're a seasoned owner or buying your first yacht, Windward SeaVenture looks after the boat once it's yours, and can prepare it for charter so it earns while you're ashore.

Put the yacht into a business like that, and Section 179 and 100% bonus depreciation may let you write off much of its cost. That conversation belongs with your CPA — we'll show you the boats that qualify.
