Yacht Ownership Advantages: Including Tax Benefits in 2025

Why Consider Yacht Ownership in 2025

It’s no secret that owning a yacht comes with lifestyle benefits, but when you place the yacht into a charter management program, it may also come with significant financial benefits. With recent tax legislation that passed in July, you might wonder what financial implications, if any, this will have on a yacht purchase in 2025. Under the new laws, certain yacht buyers may be eligible for tax benefits relating to business-use assets.

While Dream Yacht does not offer tax advice, we encourage prospective owners to speak with a qualified tax professional to explore these benefits in more detail. We are happy to help connect you with financial advisors or licensed tax professionals who are legally authorized to give advice on taxes and who specialize in financial strategy for yacht ownership.
